I feel like for as long as Bisping is champion, we need to have this quote: “Let me put it like this, I’ve sparred with Luke Rockhold recently and let’s just say, I’m the unofficial Strikeforce champion."

Fat Twitter Man posted:For whatever reason people didn't really admit Rockhold's flaws and limitations as a striker even after Vitor punked him. You can't really just write it off as "TRT" when a guy's entire striking game is shut down like that. Rockhold wasn't shut down really. Vitor was moving well which made it hard for Luke to get anything going, but at the same time Vitor wasn't really doing much better on the feet. Both guys were getting countered on when they tried to close the distance, so we got a bunch of staring and tepid leg kicks and spinning poo poo until Vitor's spinning poo poo actually landed and stopped the fight. Also I consider Vitor's late career resurgence as a result born out of PED usage - I don't think he would've been able to commit to the kind of training needed to develop a well-rounded kicking game in a 3-4 year period without having loads of drugs that helped him with recovery.

Bundt Cake posted:The more I think about TJ + Bang and their kickboxing formula, and the way garbrandt attacks, Im leaning towards a KO a little bit. Not sure for which guy. Probably garbrandt TJ leads with his head a lot (trying to bait for a counter) and I think this is a bad idea against Cody.

Bluedeanie posted:Also Valentina is getting talked up as Nunes' next challenger, but I think Pennington has earned her shot imo Pennington is clever but iirc injuries have been nagging her forever. Also Miesha Tate stinks and is now physically shot so I don't put too much weight into Rocky beating that rear end.

In general, I do not take wins over "ranked WMMA bantamweight" to mean anything because the fighters in the division are so flawed. This is a case where the fighter with 2 wins on free TV main events should get the shot over some nobody.

Rigel posted:Might be useful information for WME. If it does, say 100k buys, then they will know that is the amount of buys they can expect from ANY UFC PPV with a title in the main event. Going forward, they can then tell their stars that the first 100k doesn't count for anything, and they get PPV bonuses based on how well they can beat that number. Pretty sure PPV points work on a sliding scale of buys already.

tesilential posted:Almost everybody had a size advantage against BJ, that was kinda his thing. But anyways what would Bendo actually do in that fight? His striking sucks and I don't see him being able to hold down or GnP BJ Penn. I mean Pettis outgrapped Bendo in both fights. BJ would have boxed him up. Body kicks, leg kicks, punches to the thigh, confuse BJ with his luxurious flowing mane, Benson Henderson defeats BJ Penn via split decision (48-47, 49-46, 46-49).

Marching Powder posted:At that point in time, the UFC was only doing like a dozen-ish cards a year with plenty of room to grow. Now we're sitting on ~card a week and they're losing prospects and names to other orgs. If I had to guess, WME plans to run way fewer shows.

Rigel posted:re: the "fewer cards" thing, I don't think it'll be much fewer. They'll probably go away from having Thursday/Friday/Saturday cards, or 2 cards in one night where there's an international one during the day and something in Vegas at night, but we'll probably still have an average of 3.5 events per month. They still need to have volume to sell for the next TV deal. I think the cards will be a lot shorter and more stacked on star power. Also probably they'll have fewer PPV's but more TV cards.

GSP has been away for a LONG time and we don't know what kind of shape he'll come into in 2017. If Conor can enforce a similar kind of distance that Nick did (I'm skeptical, but it's possible), he could create problems for GSP.
