Marching Powder posted:love it. clearly reading prompters off screen and everything. god bless chris weidman and by extension america. The main difference between Canadian and American TV is the number of lovely horribly produced ads for local businesses on TV. It's a unique American experience. Weidman's the most American fighters, so it's a perfect match.

I like how the cage was basically started in MMA as a gimmick and it being 10x better than a ring for grappling was just an afterthought to "raaah CAGE FIGHTERS". e: mark hunt is having another facebook faith crisis. CRISPYBABY fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Apr 4, 2014 |

The Dear Wandy poo poo is super unfunny and I have no idea why so many people in the thread seem to like it. Liking him because used to knock people out and fight like a psychopath against undersized Japanese pro wrestlers is a way more valid reason for liking him than some stupid pandering skit.

Can't believe no one posted this part yet.quote:"I train harder than everybody in the UFC. And then there's boxers out there getting multimillion dollar contracts, and I'm a bigger draw than boxers. It's embarrassing. I think I'm the biggest draw in the lightweight division. I feel like they're trying to weed me out of the top 10. I saw that I went from no. 5 to 6 in the rankings, for some reason. That doesn't make any sense. I'm pretty sure both the Diaz's are mentally handicapped and in like 50 years we're gonna look back at the UFC and feel shame that they let retards fight.

I have no idea what threads you've been reading, man. Err'yone loves a Diaz. People make fun of people who think that he won the Condit fight, but the man himself is one of the great sources of comedy in MMA. And he puts on super fun fights to boot.Nibbles141 posted:Wasn't there some UFC poll on Hendrick's next opponent and the far away majority was Diaz? And Kobe Bryant was voted into this years NBA all star game after playing like 5 games this year. Fans are stupid, and popularity is a pretty lovely metric for deciding who's gonna fight the next title shot. I know we're living in a post GSP/Diaz and Jones/Sonnen era so they throw in fun fights sometime, but the UFC still vaguely operates under the pretence that the best fighters get the shot. It would piss the gently caress out of all the other contenders at welterweight, too. No one really gets mainstream popularity until they actually have the belt. He's gonna draw more than Woodley/Rory/Lawler/etc. and will continue to do so until one of them becomes champ. Being the champ doesn't guarantee popularity either, but it's practically a pre-requisite. Like we could just circlejerk popularity and have champs fight ex champs to max buy rates, but at a certain point you have to introduce new talent to the pool, especially when the new guys are clearly better fighters.

Foul Fowl posted:cyborg kicked the poo poo out of nick's leg in that fight iirc, it was pretty brutal and competitive until the armbar Yeah the Diaz's believe that anything that isn't boxing or traditional BJJ (see: wrestling, leg kicks) is cheating. I was gonna write that sentence as "Nick believes," but part of the Diaz magic is that if you write a sentence about one of the brothers it's true for the other one 95% of the time.

Mike Pierce never quite looks like a world beater, but he has this way of turning everything into a dogfight that makes even really good fighters struggle against him. Except for Palhares, who's some sort of weird wild card psychopath.

If Wandy's out, he gets to look like a moron and Chael gets to fight someone who isn't worthless, and if he's still good to go we get to seem him get beat up. It's a win-win.

MycroftXXX posted:^Wanderlei doesn't submit people though except for almost Bisping that one time. Can someone post the .gif of the guillotine attempt where he's screaming and it looks like Wand's jaw is going to detach from his skull like some creature from the thing? Because it's probably the coolest thing he's done in the last 4 years along with breaking Cung Le's nose.

I vaguely remember the Pierce-Fitch fight because it was on one of the first few cards I ever watched. Pierce was a late replacement and no one was expecting much of him. He got Fitched the first two rounds, but it was mainly notable for him rocking and beating the poo poo out of Fitch in the third round. Kinda happened at the height of Fitch's reputation as an unstoppable decision machine so it was really unusual for the time.

Mr. Carlisle posted:It's always crazy when you hear about these guys ending up with broken hands/ribs/arms or other serious injuries and still finishing the fight whether they win or lose. Also puts into perspective how insanely painful stuff like liver shots and whatnot that drop a guy instantly must be. Yeah, for sure. A broken rib makes your life miserable and every movement you do hurt like hell even if you're a sedentary fat dude sitting in a chair. And then there's Browne getting body shot and kicked in a broken rib over and over. On that note, Werdum has the best snap in his kicks I've ever seen a heavyweight mma fighter have. He was hitting loving hard.

Yeah Romero looking like a legitimate good fighter kind of surprised me. I feel like he's gonna be caught be a disciplined striker sometime, but he seems pretty good. I just assumed he was built for hilarity rather than actually being a particularly good fighter, but his gas tank is holding up and he does cool stuff.

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.

Mark Hunt is an old slow fat dude and yet he also is 10x better at slipping punches than most mma fighters.

1st AD posted:Speaking of which, when was the last time we saw Frank Fertitta at a fight card? I can't remember seeing him ringside ever until last night. Dunno. He's got his name on the product but he mainly works on the casino side of the Fertitta's projects. You'd think he'd be around and visible though, especially at the Vegas cards.

This is totally out of nowhere, but sometimes I forget how intimidating Renan Barao's record looks on wikipedia. You just look at it and are like daaaaang that's a long green streak. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renan_Bar%C3%A3o
