In the last thread someone asked for fighters that crossed sports and had success and I'm very mad at all of you for not giving Jienotsu an honorable mention.

CommonShore posted:I was just reading an article about Tecia Torres and it referred to her "partner" Raquel Pennington and I googled "Torres Pennington" and it seems that they got married after Pennington beat up Meisha Tate: This makes me happy, even if I find Tecia Torres unbearable inside the cage.

Captain Log posted:It's an old joke from the hit television cartoon The Critic. A flaming parade float slams into a theater showing "Cats." Take it from me, the world's least funny poster, that a joke generally has to in some way apply to and then make a twist on reality in order to be funny. "Ha ha I made a reference" isn't enough. Shalom.

Trast posted:Dana said Jones is likely getting a title shot when he comes back. I can't wait for Jones to ruin another pay per view main event when he plows into a crowd of nuns while high on boner pills. I'm hoping he screws up in a more low-key way this time. Like maybe he steals a tricycle from a child and then crashes it into a slightly overfilled newspaper kiosk, running away without bothering to pick up all those papers first. If he keeps escalating we're going to get into a weird kink spiral where he has to do unspeakable things just for us to hate off anymore.

Bubba Smith posted:WME-IMG hated Goldberg so much that they fired him immediately with no send-off, had no replacement already locked up, and are now probably paying a little more money to have 3 guys do commentary. that's how much they hated Goldberg. Cormier's voice is so loving irritating. I may have to skip the PPV for that alone.

CatelynIsAZombie posted:Its not awkward to call the ring card holding women lovely or beautiful or fantastic when you'd naturally say the same about sage northcutt, overeem's body, or gsp's flip. im basically 100% fine with ring card girls but feel they should also add some muscly guys in short shorts and have a female color commentator occasionally. i also don't think it's wrong to call a woman beautiful in the context that her job is literally to look beautiful. they spend all day every day basically managing their diets and working out to look like that. it deserves praise. and no-one should be surprised the falcons lost. they stole the packers' soul and the packers' whole thing is absolutely convincing you they're gonna make it only to choke in the most frustrating way possible. they win the super bowl once every decade or so just to prime you to be maximally disappointed in the following years.

Trast posted:Welcome back to the UFC, Julie Kedzie! As much as I dislike Miesha Tate's face, I think she genuinely has a pretty great understanding of the sport and has a less irritating voice than Daniel Cormier so I think they should just use her since she's retired and does their panel stuff sometimes.

Triticum Guzzler posted:it's weird to try and make ring girls into media personalities imo i think it's because people feel like exploiters if the ring girls' only job is to be attractive, but, like, that's what they applied for. i can guarantee you that arriany did not fill out the job application and then hesitate in mailing it, thinking to herself "but does it have opportunities for growth?" it's like getting bent out of shape that a fighter could get brain damage or other permanent injury. it's a primary bullet point of the job and they choose to do it.

Josuke Higashikata posted:Being attractive as a female fighter was a definite thing promoters and fans were looking for early on for WMMA and it's not something that's gone entirely now. It's definitely easing off and WMMA gets praised on its virtues outside of sex appeal a lot more often now but it's pretty much revisionist history if people are going to claim it's never been a thing. i dont think anyone here is unaware that women's mma basically became a thing because Gina Carano was pretty enough for strikeforce to push and then Rousey was pretty enough and dominant enough to convince people that the women's division was increasing in quality. im not convinced it's actually unique to women's mma either. GSP drove a hell of a lot of PPV buys, it's just harder to say for certain how much people weigh attractiveness when evaluating men's mma because the men's divisons have been stronger for longer and you can't really isolate particular factors from the numbers.

Josuke Higashikata posted:It's not unique to WMMA. It's just more of a thing. definitely. i've done no conclusive research but it certainly seems like pretty fighters get pushed harder in the women's division whereas the UFC happily pushed Brock Lesnar who is only described that way in the sentence "pretty hosed up colon".

Bluedeanie posted:Joe Rogan insinuated on air in an official UFC broadcast that Tate vs Rousey 1 was gonna be the "hottest title fight ever," and yet said nothing of the kind at any point when discussing Weidman vs Rockhold. That should tell you everything you need to know. obivously that's because the hottest men's fight ever was machida vs weidman and it had already happened.

Marching Powder posted: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. i mean i get the reference to dada (worthless art degree after all  ), but im apparently slow to day and im not quite connecting it to my post he quoted unless it was just a real nice way of saying "no poo poo it hurts my post was a joke dipshit". which ill gladly wear if that's what it was.

chaleski posted:They could fold the Invicta 145lb division into the UFC like they did the WEC and it would still be a wasteland i think women's 145 has the same sort of problem that men's HW is sometimes argued to have in that any woman who is both genuinely athletic and can't make 145 is probably doing a sport with more prestige like olympic field events or lifting or swimming or whatever.

CommonShore posted:Are there many elite female athletes out there who are too big to make 145 if they were fighters? The famous "Big Female Athlete" is Serena Williams, and according to google she's 5'9" and 150 lbs - pretty much the same as Ronda. Well there's a couple things: 1 is that they underreport the weight of female athletes much in the same way that male athletes weight is sometimes overreported, but again look at people like swimmers, shotputters, that sort of thing. Katy Ledecky, for example, is 6'0" 159 pounds, and Allison Schmitt is 6'1" 163lbs. They're both swimmers. If you are a woman with huge muscles and into athletics that's the kind of place you tend to get funneled to. I'm not necessarily saying there's thousands of women like this out there. Just that the few that are are definitely not doing MMA. Even if they all were it would probably still be a thin division.

Bluedeanie posted:Conversely, I completely agree with your assessment, but that doesn't necessarily translate to ppv buys so I kind of get what Lord Waffle Beard is insinuating. Yeah. A lot of those guys are dudes we know are exciting but who haven't really "broken through" as household names or whatever. Glover, for example, is well liked here but I would bet the average fan only knows that Jon Jones beat him up. Maybe Holm has some cachet from beating up Ronda, but it's hard to sell a PPV where the headline is a title fight between also-rans from another division.

Marching Powder posted:Y'all in denial about Aldo. He has a history of mismanaging his energy in a career littered with five round wins. 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.

Mma athletes have to balance a lot of competing concerns in their sport. The fact that gas problems aren't uncommon should tip you off that the kind of training fighters need to do can make it hard to keep up with cardio. Or to be more disingenuous, do you expect Usain Bolt to run marathons?
