canada jezus posted:I think i've seen one maybe two of his fights, is he really that boring? Rashad is something far worse than boring. He has done enough cool things to make people feel that it's worth their whiles to watch, but more often than not he does nothing to win other than control his opponent. Ugh. I just agreed with Thiago Silva on an issue. I feel so dirty.

If the UFC has been forcing fighters to change divisions for promotional reasons - Lineker, Gastelum - they should also start forcing fighters to change divisions for health (ethical) reasons. Hendricks to 185. Everyone will be happier. For even though I don't like him, I don't want to hear that Johny Hendricks dies in an attempt to make weight.

Bluedeanie posted:Like Kelvin though, I think Hendricks' issue is just he doesn't manage his weight between camps far more so than it is he legitimately belongs at welterweight. If he kept his diet under control I suspect his weight cuts would be much more reasonable. If he puts himself in the hospital from a weight cut, no matter the leading causes, he shouldn't be in that division anymore. Like, if he completely overhauls his lifestyle and never goes above 185 between fights, etc etc, then great, let him fight at welterweight, but after this long and this many bad cuts and however many dietitians, do you really think it's going to happen?

Re: "the people walking around at 185-90 are fighting at 155" - didn't GSP claim that he walked around at 185 to fight at 170?

Err it sounds like he's blaming Uncle Creepy for Del Rosario's death, and saying that "everyone" knows it's true but that FRB is the only one "brave" enough to speak up? Something about Creepy threatening him at some point, too? He also linked this? http://www.foxsports.com/ufc/story/tuf-alum-holds-ian-mccall-indirectly-responsible-for-shane-del-rosario-s-death-040814

The talent gap in W135 compared to other divisions is a bit overstated, too. W135 has one great fighter, a few decent fighters who really have no hope of dethroning her, and then a garbage fire. HW has two great fighters, one pretty good but declining fighter with multiple losses to one of the great ones, an old man on a winning streak, and a garbage fire. 205 has a champ, a "champ," and then a few decent guys who have lost to the champ and the "champ," and then it's a garbage fire. 155-185 are shark tanks. 145 has four great guys on top of the heap and then it's a mess. 135 has Brian "Seedy" Caraway pushing the top 5, and actually in the top 5 if we remove fighters who are hopelessly inactive, injured, or no longer fighting in that division (Barao, Assuncao, and McDonald). Let that sink in. 125 has one great fighter, a few decent fighters who have really no hope of dethroning him, and then it is a garbage fire. e. Mark Hunt of course defies all classification.

Can anyone find these articles about the scoring in that fight?

What about Joanna as a dark horse candidate? She's had an amazing year already. If she beats Letourneau like she beat Penne and Esparza (she will) she will have gone from being basically unknown to a savage TKO inflicting champion in a division which isn't known for striking power. This is all moot of course because Fighter of the Year is Sage Northcutt, obviously

Bluedeanie posted:I watched this fight with extreme bias FOR Edgar, and you are very wrong. A 3-0 Joanna has a better case than Cormier or Rousey. She basically created a division that people seem to enjoy watching and brought a title to represent a new market. Could even say that Werdum and Lawler have good cases, at 1-0, though Lawler-MacDonald is such a lock for fight of the year that the vote should be for the runner up. Do we not have anyone on crazy winning streaks this year like Neil Magny was last year? Never mind. Mark Hunt Fighter of the Year 2015.

I move that the Favourite Fighter award be renamed the Mark Hunt award, and that he be given the prize emeritus forever so that we can vote for our second favourite fighter. Or the award can be renamed "PSP's second-favourite fighter"

But like, barring some gigantic Cosby-level scandal, that this forum loves Mark Hunt is not going to come into question. There's no point in voting for it anymore.

Also, Waldburger was tweeting that he wasn't forever let go, but that since he's on indefinite injury hiatus that they terminated his contract. He expects to come back to the UFC once he's ready to fight again.

Lid posted:They said they'd treat Punk like all 0-0 fighters. You know what? They're probably going to run a season of TUF in his weight class soon, and they'll throw in the house couple guys who have 1 to 3 fights . They'll likely have Punk fight the one of them who performs the best and/or represents a favourable style matchup. Of all possible ways of finding him an opponent, that seems the most reasonable.

Bluedeanie posted:A TUF tournament where the winner gets the privilege of fighting CM Punk would simultaneously be completely meaningless and also way better than the actual traditional TUF contract due to the fact that a CM Punk fight will do stupid numbers the first time. I wasn't suggesting that he'd fight the winner. I mean they'll do a middleweight tournament and have CM Punk fight a mediocre-at-fighting but charismatic also-ran, and then only announce that toward the end of the series when the finale is getting booked. gently caress, anyone who could win a tuf tournament, even a TUF 19, would straight-up murder Punk. Again, I'm talking someone who is 1-0, wins the fight into the house, and then gets RNCed by a 9-3 prospect in 90 seconds into his next fight.

The shirt was a response to Poirier turning down the fight against Parke, who is the only Northern Irish fighter on the roster. It was a jab specifically at Poirier - it is his fault that Northern Ireland doesn't get to come play.
