TheTofuShop posted:Ah my bad, fwiw id prefer not to have that kind of graphic imagery posted in the thread but I also get that we are all watching punchsports so that stuff might get posted, and gruesome violence is something we all kinda buy into to some degree. Yeah I considered it about that picture but it didn't really seem that bad to me, the thing that stands out at first glance is actually just a drawn line so the docs can keep track of where the infection is, the rest is mostly swelling and the little spot where presumably the infection got in. If it's like big open wounds and such it should probably be spoiler tagged.

The foots fine imo. Seen worse after people cop elbows. Spicy dumb twitter stuff is kinda a bane on the forums.

I feel like even a diminished McGregor can put his left on Chandler at will.

TheKingslayer posted:I feel like even a diminished McGregor can put his left on Chandler at will. He probably can. But also, since Chandler has more than a round and a half of gas, Conor might need a back up plan. I think Conor's main problem as a fighter is he bought his own hype. There's that often repeated line that he only needs one or some variation. That's only been true once in his UFC career and it was his timing and accuracy against Aldo, not just straight power. The rest of the time it's an accumulation. I have no doubt he hits hard, but he doesn't have magic one punch knockout power most of the time. When he hurt Dustin in the second and third fights, he was flat footed and unable to follow up. He just stood there, waiting, sure that if he hit him once he'd go down.

He could tag him for sure, but I also feel like Conor's left hand not the weapon at WW it was at FW/LW against anyone not as washed as Cerrone. And he is definitely is not a submission threat like Poirier.

I think the bigger problem is that he's fought 4 times in 5 years in a rapidly evolving sport.

I don't think mcgregor has anything for the pressure chandler puts out. And chandler, in fairness to him, is insanely tough.

He'll completely out work him and he can wrestle. Thats throwing mcgregor to the wolves imo, but hes probably noted that chandler leads with his chin enough that he can "put him out handily". But I'd be fairly confident that chandler will walk through them. Southpaugh fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Dec 10, 2022 |

a) Danny Sabatello is loving terrible, and b) For anyone brave enough to watch today's UFC prelims so as not to miss SAIIMAN, the many cancellations have pushed the entire card back an hour so now it begins at 3:30 PM PST/6:30 EST.

I don't like either guy much (though Chandler is an eminently watchable fighter). I guess I hope Conor makes Chandler look like an idiot at all the press conferences and then Chandler makes Conor look like an idiot in the match. Will it be the shortest welterweight match up ever? edit: by shortest I mean the stature of the combatants not the duration of the match

This is just off the top of my head, but I think the shortest UFC welterweight fight ever would be 5'6" Matt Serra vs 5'8" Frank Trigg.

Just to put a cap on how hosed the light-heavyweight top ten is right now (and I'm definitely not making this picture for purposes of a thread I'm working on), this is the current UFC slate:
So 2 of the top 10 can't fight, 2 just fought and won't be available for months AND the UFC just publicly poo poo all over both of them, 2 have already been so badly beaten by the top five that they have no claim at the top and 2 are permanently stuck at the very edge of the division, and the fresh new blood getting the title shot has zero wins in the top ten and earned his #1 contendership by beating a guy who was 1 for his last 6 and was immediately fired after the fight. Light-heavyweight has always been kind of a garbage fire, but by god, this is stretching it.
