Hunt is extremely picky with his punches most of the time, but he spent a non-trivial portion of round 1 with 290 lbs of muscle on top of him. Hunt was exhausted and I would be surprised if that slam at the end of round 1 either broke or dislocated one of his ribs.

Neither Joanna nor Claudia were on TUF because they couldn't make weight for the entire show as well, iirc. She has just destroyed her competition since the title fight.

Seriously go watch Joanna just destroy Esparza https://www.ufc.tv/video/joanna-jedrzejczyk-vs-carla-esparza-ufc-185-1 Esparza did not fight again for over a year after that beatdown.

willie_dee posted:I will not reveal my sources. If I were to say what I told fatherdog other people (Internet detectives) would figure it out and it would whittle it down to to few a people which makes me uncomfortable. I love your JT gimmick, but I wish you'd just loving drop this one. It doesn't matter at all what a guy's sexual preference is. It's none of ours or anyone else's business. Second, you come across as a homophobic rear end in a top hat constantly dropping jabs at someone because they might like a dick. It's tired and it isn't funny. Please stop with this.

Marching Powder posted:getting called a homo is what got georges to where he is now I'm fine with someone making a funny joke. The zoom out joke was good. What isn't funny is every single time GSP gets brought up, willie has to come in and hurl some baseless insinuation and then act like he has some journalistic duty to maintain his source's anonymity. Fatherdog even told him to knock the poo poo off once. It's never been funny or entertaining and is just done to stir up poo poo. It contributes nothing whatsoever to conversation.

Marching Powder posted:i was at a pool party in downtown la and got talking to this guy who after about 2000 mimosas told me in confidence that he'd hosed keanu reeves. i didn't find that interesting because i hate gays, but because i thought keanu was straight. But then you'd also say "some guy at a pool party in downtown LA told me Keanu was gay" and not spend the next 5 years every time Keanu was brought up acting like you're some super sleuth with speed dial to all his previous lovers and constantly jab at another person's sexual preference.

Marching Powder posted:ok but maybe consider that willie's doing it because it's his schtick and not because he can't find an easier way to let everyone know he hates gays than a 5 year long running joke That's the point - it's just schtick. There's no substance. And he was told to drop the act once already. Gimmick posting has been around as long as message boards have been around, but even still typically the only individual gimmicks that stick around are good ones.

If he was actually causing anyone to get angry that would be a different story. Trolling is one thing and is a beauty to behold when done right. We typically have a pretty gimmick free experience around here outside of Mr. Dee. And even still, some of his gimmicks are endearing. This one is just tired and old and was never really all that interesting even from the get go. If william was actually funny about it, that might be one thing. It's nothing other than just drive by shitposting at this point.

afatwhiteloaf posted:the reason behind every time you see dudes in MMA with their hands down getting punched is because of the threat of takedowns. For some fighters that is just their style and they make up for it with head movement and other evasive techniques. Some people are just masters at moving away from, deflecting, and blocking strikes without having to keep their hands up high. Dom Cruz and Anderson Silva both immediately jump out as fighters that just simply can evade almost all of an opponents strikes. Here's a great video that is just about showing off head movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSX0PCQXiO4 Striking coaches are still going to tell everyone to keep their hands up at all times. Some people are just good at dodging and don't keep their hands up regardless of takedown threat.

Tezcatlipoca posted:It also helps if they can't see your hands at all though. Some fighters will recognize feints and milling hands better than punches that come from the hip and vice versa. This isn't some binary thing and some fighters do one of/some of these things better than others. Basic fundamentals, though, are to keep your guard up. The only people who should be fighting with their guard down are good enough strikers to take the risk or motivated by takedown defense. I would never fault a fighter for keeping his hands on his hips against a guy like Maia.

He said he gave Brian Ebersole a $75k bonus at the UFC 133 post fight presser for finishing Dennis Hallman early and getting his speedo out of the octagon.

maffew buildings posted:Manhoef was the first dude to knock out Mark Hunt as well, if I remember right this was the year Manhoef got like crazy sick and almost died. I think David Carmichael wrote up a Manhoef fighter of the year thing in our best of the year retrospective that covered it all well In Hunts autobiography he talks about that fight as the worst loss of his career quote:“When Jérôme dropped out and they replaced him with journeyman middleweight Melvin Manhoef, again on short notice, I knew I was assured victory. Manhoef stood only about five foot seven, and would weigh in a good 40 kilograms lighter than me. I’d be able to bully him on the ground, throw him around in Thai clinches and bludgeon my fists straight through his standing defence. There was no way he could possibly beat me. Perhaps DREAM knew that too. Perhaps they wanted to protect their asset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf9U0quIrB8 Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Sep 23, 2016 |

E4C85D38 posted:Is there anywhere that does radio/audio coverage of UFC events? I really don't want to miss 205, but I'll be driving the entire time. You could always just find a stream and listen to the TV broadcast. I end up doing that a lot cause I work almost all saturday nights. It's not quite as good as something that's geared entirely for radio, but the play by play from the TV is usually good enough to keep track of the fight.
