No tune up fight for GSP? That's impressive to me.

The tuneup is bisping

I get it but I think it's still a tough comeback fight.

"The only thing I remember about Overeem then is that he was using steroids then and he's still using steroids. The guy's a filthy cheater and he shouldn't be up at this level. In society, you do wrong, you go to jail. But right now [in UFC] it pays to cheat." - Mark Hunt

I wish that part about wrongdoers going to jail was true but you can't argue the other part.

It's funny that mark hunt had been on this tirade against steroid users then accepts a fight with one of the biggest steroid cheats of all time, then complains about it

All he's offered is steroid cheats tho. Should he drop out of the UFC?

Was that the guy who doesn't know what a toehold is?

I mean I don't know either but I'm not making any claims about them.

And it goes through the big toe? That doesn't sound very efficient.

I feel like I have heard that having super gangly arms or legs can make it harder to get a good squeeze in some subs but that really is reaching for a disadvantage.

Also if youre a short person, the other guy might try and punch you, only to find you below where he expects you to be. Hes punching thin air

Dennis Siver would have been KOd by McGregor much sooner if he was tall enough to get hit by some of those kicks.

Aren't the first two fights their #1 and #3 all time ppv records? Makes sense to run the third, and it markets itself.

Give me Rockhold vs Jon Jones.

Oh. Duh. Rockhold is skipping LHW because he thinks he would of course have to face up with (and probably beat up) his friend DC.

I don't know that I'm right but if I am it's pretty funny.

rockhold got mad at someone for minor meathead reasons, he's not fighting at heavyweight and he doesn't have a deeply considered plan revolving around gym politics to do so

That does seem more plausible but even meatheads will surprise us.

At least we have that video if someone questions whether a massive size difference confers any advantage.
