I hadn’t noticed this before, but when Rumble finally peels his hand away from the Kimora attempt, Bader just immediately covers up and waits to get destroyed rather than actually try anything to prevent his impending doom. He doesn’t even take a hit first.

Another funny part of the bader-rumble vid is how the ref sees that Bader has just gone full defensive but still lets Rumble punch him deep into unconsciousness anyway

I always think of The Dean of Mean as one of the best guys to ruin almost any MMAth equation because of his ability to win and lose to anyone, so I would go with Michael Johnson, Clay Guida, and Anthony Pettis. all have confounding losses (Johnson to Guida recently and losing to Reza Madadi in between beating Tony/Edson/Dustin, Pettis to Guida before he was champ, Guida to Bermudez when he was still a "top guy" or any of his others later on)...

...but also some great wins: Johnson's aforementioned wins, Pettis dethroning Benson and KOing Wonderboy, Guida breaking RDA's jaw and beating Nate and Pettis.

with the exception of Khabib, you could probably say "they beat this guy who beat..." about pretty much every LW of the last 10-12 years between the three of them. but you could also say the reverse.

Guida low key rules. The dude has been around so long that I automatically assume his training regime is old school as hell, like a punching bag on the verandah, but his cardio is insane and he keeps winning at about a 50% rate. He should be a shuffling bag of poo poo from fight miles, but he's a coin flip to win. It's insane. He's living proof this sport is dumb as hell.

Shame he's kinda boring.

I got into MMA in the mid 2000's because it was funny. It was the only sport where most people seemed pretty bad at it. Every fighter was like Eli Manning, capable of something incredible or something extremely stupid at any given moment. My fandom stuck as the fighters got better, but if I was a teenager in 2022 I'm not so sure I would fall in love with the sport the same way

I saw that, too. That's how you can tell just how terrified he was.

The rogan commentary on the fight was great. He spends the entire time dissecting just how hosed Bader is. I think the only way to watch it with that is to pull it up on fight pass.

Guida was pretty cool when I met him after being upgraded to floor seats at one of the Montréal shows. He’s also far more chill than his walk-out routine and in-cage antics would suggest.

I just miss that era because it made it way easier to remember who was who. "Oh yeah, he's the guy who doesn't know what a jab is, as distinct from the guy who does, but would take twenty minutes and a diagram to explain what a kick is"

Now it's like "Well, he's got a solid power jab as long as he's established a dominant lead foot, but only against orthodox fighters with an active lead hand."

It's more like a single, actual sport, rather than one where the best soccer players, rugby players, nfl players and people who do curling are all playing each other's sports simultaneously and being terrible at at least three of them. I remember Paulo Thiago desperately trying to box with Martin Kampmann very fondly.
