vitor is really good .. this thread really sleeps on him. his style isnt pretty but its no joke either

i think everyone in this thread has always said vitor is insanely dangerous and prone to gassing and giving up which isn't really sleeping on him so much as saying exactly what's prone to happening when he fights.

another thing to consider is that since tkz went on sabbatical featherweight has turned into a loving shark tank. my concern is that even if tkz comes back as good as when he left, he'd maybe be a top 15 guy at this point.

Dennis Bermudez was in the middle of really long win streak the last time TKZ fought, now he's on a two fight win streak over a cool old man and a bad brazilian fighter. Right before that, he was finished brutally twice in a row. If featherweight has turned into a shark tank, I don't think Dennis is a symptom of that.

errr, yeah. that's what i was saying. when tkz left, dennis was a loving beast (relative to the division). now he's struggling to fit in the top 10, and i actually think tkz will lose to him.

I like Phil Davis a lot, he's a funny and chill dude. I wish he had done better in the ufc

Actually he did do well in the UFC, he just never got the stardom thing

phil davis was great because as an unbeaten rising star he was so confident in his ability to gently caress jones up that he was honestly surprised at his capacity to get thoroughly thrashed by rashad.

he then recovered his ego after 'beating' lyoto machida, and the entire run-up to his fight with rumble was spent talking poo poo at jon jones, which resulted in another hilarious thrashing by a man not named jon jones.

Dada was an anti art movement where legit famous artists did things like present a toilet as an art exhibition, forcing high-faluting upper class dickheads to either call a toilet art or a famous artist terrible.or they could just be like, 'that's a toilet', but they won't because of the context of the space.

They could fold the Invicta 145lb division into the UFC like they did the WEC and it would still be a wasteland

I've been saying for ages that even though people are signed to the UFC, have the non-title / top contender fights in their lovely divisions (lhw, mw, w135 and w145) on the cards of their premiere feeder leagues. It gives the feeder leagues some name / production value and could drive viewership of these organisations while simultaneously not forcing us to watch lovely fights that honestly aren't ufc calibre.

there is a distinct possibility that bisping can outbox yoel on the outside for 5 rounds. yoel in rounds 4 and 5 would be genuinely pathetic. i wouldn't say it's a probability, yoel can cover distance and land shots with insane speed, but bisping is pretty loving good.

Amazing that he beat a really old man and a really stupid one then another really old one all in a row. The explanation is definitely steroids.

2 of those guys have definitely done steroids, and the other guy after some spectacular performances got totally and easily bested by Michael Bisping at around the time steroids became extremely hard to do. I think it's worth considering. He'll I think it's worth lolling.

I really hope Korean Zombie gets to fight for a title one more time. He looked so good in his comeback and stuffed the takedowns easily before the KO. I could see a title fight happening now that he's had all that time to get healthy and stay in shape.

and yet the only loss he's ever had was a flash ko in the opening seconds of a fight against one of the greatest power punchers in the history of the division. i don't think going 5 rounds is detrimental to aldo's ability to win.

That was my point. Even when he 'gassed', Aldo has had no trouble winning decisions.

And he looked nothing short of perfect in the second Edgar fight. If gas was a problem for Aldo, it's got no bearing on his current form.

i don't disagree. that just wasn't really coming through in your previous posts. he definitely tires somewhat, it's just never been a problem at all.

My position is he has visibly slowed in the later rounds in more fights than the hominick fight. Despite slowing, he is usually well in control of the fight at that point, as evidenced by his numerous five round decision victories.

And Edgar won the first time :D

you can do most of the work in a couple of weeks if youve been there before. although i have to wonder why fighters are letting their cardio slip so far in the first place ,seems like somewhere that the game could improve

the fight camp cycle is extremely physically and mentally taxing. way more than other sports i've done. after every single fight i've ever had i immediately turn into a slovenly piece of poo poo for a few months and i'm only in the gym like twice a week to do really low key stuff.

i can't really explain it, and i'd like to think if i was getting paid tens of thousands and it was my literal job that it'd be different but i'm not alone in that attitude even in the ranks of world class pros.
