Captain Log posted:Do you mind telling us what at what weight you compete? I'm just trying to picture the severity of your cut. competed. past tense. thank god. 72kg, which is like... 160ish? i cut from 78 usually, which is ~12 pounds i think, and that was cool, but once i cut from 82 due to life getting in the way of my camp and it was miserable. i won the first two rounds before gassing hard and getting thoroughly bashed in the third. the fight was a draw and i retired from getting punched for leisure. e oh and the tough cut i missed weight by 2lbs. sorry, my opponent.

Captain Log posted:Posted too quick - Here is the second half - We've all got the same percentage of water in our body, more or less, so 12 pounds for a much bigger guy would be easier to do than a much smaller guy. 12lbs ain't poo poo to a 250 pound guy, but 12lbs is like 10% of mighty mouse.

-Atom- posted:Aldo would beat Conor in a rematch because Conor lost to Nate Diaz, who is a bad fighter He's an extremely good fighter with an obvious red x weak point that conor does not have the tools to exploit. Diaz even had a wrestling advantage for crying out loud and conor going 1 and 1 with him is cool. Not jaw-droppingly impressive but cool.

Southpaugh posted:Nate has always given me the impression that he's not super interested in fighting and has probably never truly fulfilled his ~~~*potential*~ It's the only interesting first hand experience I can share so I always like to tell it but I had a long chat with Nate in person and he genuinely dislikes fighting. He takes it (admittedly) irrationally personally when people sign a contract to hurt him for money and that's where his animosity towards his opponents stems from. He says he'd be 100%happy just teaching jiu jitsu, smoking weed, and running triathlons, but it just so happens he's one of the best fighters in the world and it pays real well. He's a really cool person and I'm a fan of his as a fighter and a person (and he's a loving excellent jiu jitsu instructor) and the thought of him teaching kids and smoking weed with millions of dollars makes me really happy.

sean o'connell was always fun and that division needs more sean o'connel but the rest of the cuts that haven't been discussed already i'm cool with. hope mizugaki finds some success in the b leagues but i'm getting mad miguel torres vibes from him and honestly i think watching the rest of his career will be mostly sad.

Ratios and Tendency posted:Holloway beating Aldo seems v. unlikely imo. Pettis (during his title reign) vs Aldo was considered to be a competitive fight at the time, and holloway beat the gently caress out of him and did what rda couldn't in 5 rounds. Kid's elite, and I would not be surprised to see him win. Or lose.

Jerusalem posted:Hey I gave Skip a 6 hour probation (which is nothing, it's already almost over) because I thought they were taking things too far and going overboard and needed a break. It's as simple as that, disagree with it if you like but it was my call. you should probably acknowledge our ability to self-regulate with actions as well as words. by that i mean probably don't put probations on people when yourself and the aggrieved are the only one's with the problem. if you're going to do that, at least put out invitations for a discord seminar on acceptable posting so we can all pull ourselves up to the required level of posting morality. this will stop us disagreeing en-masse with your hysterical mashing of the mod button. ta.

I assume the Irish sun is like it's British counterpart but they're reporting that an agreement has been reached between conor and Mayweather. Nothing signed yet though (of course).

I'd watch it because regardless of outcome there is a near 100% chance that a very wealthy egotist would get embarrassed and although I try and be a humble, decent man I still really want to see that because I am a flawed human being. I wish it was because I'm a life-long combat sports fan but it isn't.

manyak posted:Also i still dont think itll happen and its stupid, the way everyones talking about it like its actually gonna happen is unnerving i get it, and same, but the more i think about it the more it makes sense. conor will lose easily. conor has lost before. conor will make stupid money. conor's career in mma is in no way negatively effected. floyd gets his 50 in a match that makes the berto fight look dangerous and also makes a billion dollars. it makes sense.

big money big clit posted:If Floyd cared about getting to 50 wins there are plenty over overmatched boxers he could have faught by now, and made 100 million doing it, so I'm not sure why he'd choose to cap off his legacy by fighting a guy from a different sport who just recently got beat up by Nick Diaz. the money between him fighting conor and anyone else not named manny pacquiao or ggg isn't even on the same planet and the conor fight contains a near zero risk. e: also, conor would settle for less than pacquiao for drat sure

Lid posted:Yes but if you start relying on only names they realise that they control you and not tge other way around, UFC was successful in building by avoiding the boxing pitfall of letting the fighters choose. The loss of Lorenzo and Joe Silva contributes strongly to this. As for Sage and Paige everyone could see that was protection based on nothing and yeah it blew up in their faces. As for Bones he is one that shows what happens when you get too big too fast and burns out in a blaze of glory, like tge burn one feels from a fingernail raking the cornea. Man I don't know poo poo about business but I sort of agree with you. It's just a couple of prospects leaving and the paying for fightpass thing at the moment, but I've got a bad feeling

So...prepare for that... the fertittas were rich and built something amazing. the only difference in terms of fertitta richness and conglomerate richness seems to be lorenzo would open his wallet for every tiny japanese man joe silva wouldn't stop messaging him about.
