Novum posted:I wish I could find the interview again, but he said it more as a way to make the point that KOing someone really fast isn't a proper fight. A fight is a back and forth and that's where the test is. Considering the guy's career, like I said, I'll have to take his word on it. Browne is a good fighter in the sense that he's always a threat to win a fight, but he's going to look bad in any fight that goes to decision and his metrics are going to be poor, which makes it hard to predict the outcome of his fights.

Ninja PD posted:It's true Jose Aldo hasn't quite been Aldo since the Faber fight (except maybe Mendes and TKZ, both in Brazil), maybe he's really is the real people's champ and only fights cool on free tv. He hasn't been finishing much but he's still kicking the absolute poo poo out of people. As an aside, for anyone who has attended a UFC event, are they usually swarming with attractive women because mother of god.

MassRafTer posted:Mighty Mouse is a cool smart dude and I will keep picking against him in every one of his fights so he is always champion. Mighty Mouse is a cool fighter, but UFC used to send me their mags when I subscribed to the Fight Club and in an interview once he unironically recommended Starbucks has his favourite place to get a coffee in Seattle and I've always had to assume he's kind of dumb after that.

MassRafTer posted:What I mean is if he says he's made more on TV than PPV that's unsurprising since he's fought on free TV as champion while he never has on PPV. UFC is also a company that has offered guys more money before to fight on free TV (JDS/Cain I as an example) so he could have free TV incentives too. I don't know if MM is including sponsorship bucks, but XBOX has to pay pretty well for a network TV placement -that could be it. As far as the fox card goes - if they want ratings for the Fox shows, they should put all the *name* fighters on the main card, and not bury them on the prelims. Thiago Alves was legit a few years back, and looked great on Saturday. Nurmagamedov will be a title contender in 6 months. They're hurting the ratings right now, and also harming future ratings and PPV buyrates, by denying the best fighters full exposure. I think they've made a huge miscalculation in thinking women's fights are a draw, rather than just Ronda fights. Tate and Carmouche are both done in terms of upwards momentum, have had their undeserved title shots already and will never get another one.

Bubba Smith posted:I went and dug up the interviews, and while you're correct that DJ hasn't fought on PPV since he won the title, DJ doesn't beat around the bush about PPV points: A thing that perhaps people dont quite grt is that people are more likely to congregate to watch ppvs then they are for free tv shows. Its not super likely that the free tv shows have more eyeballs on them than decent ppv cards, and bad cards like the previous one would do worse than decent ppvs

The ufc just cut the proven biggest draw they had and now people are wondering why no one tuned in to see lumbering dance idiot vs the guy who tried and failed to pull guard 30 times against overeen. Weird.

I always found it weird Mighty Mouse has had a Microsoft sponsorship for quite a while now. That's pretty big time, right? They seem to be his only sponsor so he must be making some bank off of it, being the main event on Fox multiple times.

The problem is. Mighty Mouse is a pretty big outward nerd so I think he might have happily taken that Xbox sponsorship in exchange for a free Gold subscription and an advance copy of Tomb Raider.

He's sponsored by a division (albeit a decent sized one) of Microsoft, not MS themselves.

Travis Browne should get the praise for fighting through all that...but all the people listing off his injuries as if they were visited upon him by Pacquiao's mom hexing him from the stands rather than a BJJ Wizard (who most said wouldn't want to stand with him) lighting him the gently caress up in Rd. 1 is lame as hell and does absolutely zero to endear me to him.

Looks like some infographic from a conspiracy .org or something. I think the image fails to capture that all this was done to him by Werdum who also did kung-fu movie poo poo and made fun of him the whole time.

Travis Browne's 90-day medical suspension after this fight makes no mention whatsoever of a broken rib or hand and only notes he broke his nose and got cut over his right eye, so actually Browne wasn't hurt that badly at all and is a bad fighter and a 6'7" baby.

The graphic says it happened in the fight, what exactly do you think it is trying to imply? It's not saying he would've won if these things happened it is praise from his team that he never quit and didn't complain.

those suspensions are based on really cursory medical checks immediately after the fight, his weirdo coach is jerking his pecker to a photo of an x ray of Browne's broken hand
