Yeah good point I guess.


This makes more sense. I know nothing of MMA so I didn't know whether the eight fight number was any kind of binding amount or if it was more a symbolic kind of thing.

Yeah you can always retire, they can't force you to fight if you don't want to. You just can't fight anywhere else if you still have fights left on your contract.

Anderson Silva just signed a 15 fight contract and he's about to be 40.

Again not much of a MMA guy, but from watching his fights his style was "Be a gigantic freak of nature, sit on my opponents and hit them until they stop moving" yes?

That's hard to do though against guys he was fighting.

More or less his style was 'I'm a big monster' yea. Like, I'm sure a way bigger MMA fan than me (not hard at all to be) can breakdown exactly what made his stuff work but his strat of 'be a big man who crushes people' worked fairly well!

He was a freak athlete who was a good wrestler and picked poo poo up fast but he didn't react well to getting hit.

I guess it just seems really strange to put a total no name up against him and have it be a part of PPV. At least with Lesnar he had the collegiate wrestling background and had a fight in Japan.

It feels like there's a lot of filler fights recently and I'm not excited to have to sit through Punk vs no name local can as part of a paid card.

I regularly see people I've never heard of on ppv cards.

Rogan would probably beat Punk only marginally less than the actual UFC fighters would in all likelihood. He might not be a fighter, but he's legit good at Taek Won Do and probably good at BJJ too.

Rogan is a legit black belt in bjj and was a tae kwan doe champion and did some kickboxing, he also is 45 years old and does not train as pro fighter.

I am a blue belt (so apparently I am more skilled on the ground then punk) and have rolled with a real low level UFC fighter (Charles Rosa who debuted a few months back), and let's just say punk better start hitting the mats pretty hard.

There absolutely are, but when you get to middleweight you're getting 6'+, 200 lbs+ men who train to hit people, so it doesn't matter who you are that poo poo is going to gently caress you up.

Punk is a larger than average guy but i don't see how he isn't going to look smaller and physically outclassed at middleweight. RIP CM Phil

I'm of a similar build as punk and I would absolutely go down to 170 if I were to fight. Though again I have no idea what Punk's actual weight is.
I'm 6'2" 190 fwiw.

Were you planning on going pro? Our online relationship (you telling me when I've done something stupid on a forum) means that I would be very invested in hootin' and hollerin' for you to kill a man.

Haha no, though I plan at least taking an amateur fight if I can get my schedule to where I can train seriously and consistently enough (I've really only had the time for bjj recently). If this occurs I would be sure to post video so people can enjoy my victory or take pleasure in watching me get beat up.
