I have been barely following MMA for awhile but this poo poo with Maia missing out on a title shot pisses me off. Yeah rankings don't mean poo poo but he's 39, he's on a great streak, he beat Condit, give him a loving shot already.

Anyway that's my baby rant over

It's pretty bad.

The Oscar Schindler scene from Schindler's List but it's Dana breaking down and crying that he could've signed more of the Northcutt family instead of buying Bibles carved in the shape of guns

Thanks for doing a better version of that joke.

Yeah how gratuitous of him to make a whole third of the plot revolve around head to head slave fighting and then show some of it

Thank you. Also to show how hosed up slavery was since the Northcutts of the world apparently don't know.

Tony's habit of rolling out of body-locks and takedowns will either work brilliantly or get him into heaps of trouble and I really want to know which.

Trujillo did this a couple of times against Khabib and it worked. Then he kept trying it and got owned over and over.

It should be Wilson imo considering he was given one then DJ got hurt and Wilson got sent to the fightpass prelims instead.

Since April '14 Reis' best wins are against a declining Scott Jorgensen and Dustin Ortiz and he was soundly beaten by Formiga. Benavidez beat Ortiz, Cejudo, Tim Elliott, Bagautinov, Makovsky and Moraga in the same span of time. Reis has been beating bad fighters and isn't impressive when he does.

Wow, what. When was Jacare vs Whittaker announced? I didn't hear anything about it, I just saw it show up when Mighty Mouse was announcing his next fight. That's a great fight, but I feel like it might be too soon for him to be taking on the upper echelon of the middleweight division. Won't be surprised if Jacare gets another 1st round sub.

Whittaker is good and if he can stay upright he'll probably knock Jacare out. If

Could be because the other guy did even less than he did the whole fight and yet many fans are exclusively chanting "gently caress Woodley"

It is even more egregious for Thompson because the only way he was going to win was with volume and he did as little as possible the whole fight.

Did nobody really try to just sit back and counter against Cruz before the Garbrandt fight? I'd like to watch somebody else try it

The fighters who tried it failed very badly. Like, Faber in the third fight had the same plan as Cody but he just got owned round after round.

They said the fighters were lying and were proven wrong. That essentially proves the UFC had no clue what the fighters were making. If the UFC is pocketing most of the money, then that only supports my point even more because they got FAR less than they could have. The UFC would not have knowingly screwed themselves while negotiating with reebok.

This is my favorite part of the whole thing, the UFC played themselves because they wouldn't do the most basic amount of work.

Or they didn't care about the Reebok deal as long as it led to the sale. Zuffa seemed intent on getting uniforms. Like, in the short term, if you're trying to cash out for 4 billion dollars why worry about 70 million?

bisping is also hittable, see 40 year old dan henderson smoking him twice with his only punch during bisping's best run of his career

The way Dillashaw fought in the 1st round of the 2nd Barao fight was kinda like Kelvin and he did leave the same kind of openings when he was exchanging. He fought mostly southpaw so maybe I'm just conflating the two. Dillashaw also throws way more kicks that end with him on his rear end.

I remember seeing a chart or graph of the best heavyweight boxing champions (multiple defenses, etc) throughout history and only two had reaches that were shorter than their height. It's the two most obvious boxers too.
