Solice Kirsk posted:I'd say British people minus Hathaway are pretty one dimensional still. Other than British people in the UFC and non-country-descript B-C-and-D Leaguers, they're pretty well rounded all in all. Everyone has their base whether it be BJJ, folkstyle/greco/freestyle wrestling, Karate, Judo, boxing, etc, most people in MMA mix it up to an extent to try an maximize their strengths.

KungFu Grip posted:What is the deal with New York? If we land a proper venue there, Gourd of Taste will eat a hat. Pretty much what Jefferson said. Reilly is making it his life's mission to not have "human dog fighting" in his state. That said, it will happen in our lifetime. Mainly because we'll outlive Reilly and Silver. Then we can watch Gourd eat a hat, hopefully.

MassRayPer posted:He knocked Evan Tanner out with a slam. I remember that being the event he wore a really arrogant shirt (maybe an anti-Lion's Den shirt) while giving a post match interview about what a great, humble guy he is and all of his charity work. I remember flipping off the Lion's Den (and corresponding shirt) occurring at a different event, maybe the Mezger fight. "Gay Metzger is my Bitch" shirt, then he broke out the middle fingers and Ken was scrambling to get over the cage. He was in Metzger's corner.

kimbo305 posted:Thanks for the flip response to a general issue, I guess? I've known guys who couldn't accept an amateur fight out of state because they couldn't get a ride. A Cagepotato.com poster asked for bus fair to get out to TUF tryouts a week or so ago. And the internet provided. It should set a precedent for PSP guys. mobn, willie_dee, and those who come after you: If you'll fight on tape and post it for the internet's amusement, we'll chip in.

Ogantai posted:Australian cards are live, not tape delayed. Correct. The "Free PPVs" are generally held in Europe. Irish/U.K. cards and the German one are the only "free ppvs" that come to mind here in the U.S. Oh, and the U.A.E. card was free maybe?

Paul Pot posted:The last TUF reminded me to ask a thing: How come when two equally weak/mediocre wrestlers fight and one has double underhooks against the cage we hardly ever see bear hug takedowns...Fitch pulls this off a lot and he's not an elite wrestler. Because with a bearhug, you generally have to lower your body to lift the dude. This would leave your face open for a couple short elbows or your neck for a guillotine while the guy squats against the cage. The other option is a drop or a trip, and that can leave you out of position if you fail to end up top. Easier to just pin him against the cage and knee him in the leg or butt him with your shoulder or something.

KidDynamite posted:No unfortunately that's not it fawker. It's a lot cleaner slipping the other guys fists never come near Tyson's face. From my recollection Tyson was to the right of the frame and he floors the guy with a left hook. Maybe in this video? Not seeing what you described, but is is a "my defense is impregnable" montage. Good video either way. 32 seconds in maybe? Drops a guy with a left hook to the body.

No, Mark's porch (where they train) isn't a full size wrestling room, so they probably caught their breath getting there.

Mr. Carlisle posted:It was posted in the UFC PPV discussion thread after the weigh ins that some guys put on 15 or more pounds after weigh ins and it has me wondering - what (if anything) does all of this fairly drastic weight cutting and gain multiple times a year do to these fighters physically? I can't imagine it's good for the body but are there any cases where it was particularly harmful to one of them? poo poo can kill you. When I was in high school they banned plastic weight cutting apparel because a handful of high school and college wrestlers died. Luckily, UFC guys generally have a coaching team behind them who can help them not to die, and they only have to do it a few times a year. It always sucks, but 'rasslers have to do it all the time. The most I ever had to cut was 15 pounds in 24 hours as a district alternate as a freshman because the #2 seeded guy got hit in the head with a bowling ball. It was pretty lovely, but I didn't piss blood. But yeah, like ForbiddenWonder noted, it's super bad for your kidneys. e: beaten by Kensei

LordPants posted:Don't they do something now to combat that? Like have the weigh ins twice or closer to the event or something? Or am I completely making that up? In the UFC? No, they weigh in a day before. In wrestling? Yeah. They weigh in a couple hours before a dual/meet. It's a lot easier in MMA to rehydrate/regain strength.

I dont know if it is still held, but when I lived in Iowa last, Humboldt, which is the home town of Frank gotch, held the world catch championships. This was in like 2017 so it isn't that far removed. Coincidentally, I practiced in Humboldt sometimes for folkstyle wrestling

iirc, prizefighting odds aren't necessarily a predictor on who is gonna win, it's a reflection on who is being bet on. the more people/money that bet on paul (or any favorite), the more enticing the odds will be for bettors on diaz (or any dog) because books genuinely want money bet on both fighters. the bigger the favorite, the less return on your bet. books basically want there to be as little risk to them as possible. conor mcgregor's two most recent wins are against a now-retired cowboy cerrone and an NBA mascot. still, he's a betting favorite against michael chandler. do books think conor is gonna beat chandler? who knows, but they do know a bunch of mcgregor fans will put money on their boy, so in order to get to an even money proposition for them, chandler's gotta be the underdog. that said, favorite/dog betting favors the favorite 2 times out of 3 in UFC betting. poo poo just gets hinky when you've got a bunch of people flooding fan favorites like paul and mcgregor with bets

the current science says that boxers still see more brain damage because they get hit in the head more than mma fighters, but it's a big "gotta keep observing" to learn more. also, a caveat: the study cited below is funded by the UFC, but the Cleveland Clinic is doing it, so they're probably not in the pocket of Big MMALas Vegas Review Journal story posted:Researchers have looked at genetic and social factors that could increase risk, as well as at gender. Women are faring better in the study, and researchers will be publishing their findings on genetics, said Dr. Charles Bernick, the study’s founder and primary investigator. https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-las-vegas/mma-fighters-fare-better-than-boxers-in-brain-study-2244785/
