Yoel and the other good middleweights should just move to lhw because that belt is never going to be up for grabs again

Wait why did they book Maia for May if GSP isn't getting the next WW shot?

I guess the idea is to give drama/significance to fights in the very bottom tier of the UFC. So the 500,000 hardcores who bought fight piss can be emotionally invested in a fight between two guys who used to be good or did something cool on TUF but are now in danger of being cut. Nerds like us might be more likely to watch early prelims to see Artem Lobov vs Maximo Blanco or whatever

Its very gross

Selling PPVs of a live firing of a guy making 8/8 is better when its implied

Bisping telling gsp that the only reason they're fighting is because gsp thinks he's an easy fight and that he didn't want anything to do with Anderson when he was the man was uncomfortably real and cool as gently caress.

I hope Bisping takes that chip on his shoulder and beats gsp, then yoel or whoever, and retires with one of the most remarkable careers and collection of scalps the sport has ever seen.

Bisping owns is what I'm trying to say.

The only reason he's fighting a long retired welterweight is because the welterweight thinks it's an easy fight

if you're not going to truly randomize testing then and you're actually going to test some people more than others than i'd probably focus on the people who have popped for steroids before. especially under the old system where all they'd do is wave a geiger counter in your direction as you walked back to the dressing room from the cage.

for real though dj probably just lives around the corner from piss HQ and it's just an easy way to keep the numbers up.

Looks like all of the champs are tested around ten times a year. Alvarez was tested 14 times last year

I'm not sure when the "new breed" kicks in but it seems like most ranked guys over 170 are the same ones who were ranked in 2012 or whatever

Kelvin's weird to me because he has a lot of power and great hands and can run a good drill but every three or four minutes he gets really stiff and just kind of flattens out so it's weird when people say he moves like Dillashaw

Like this- he gets a bit tired and then comes in straight with really heavy steps. And he can do that because he's a great fighter but it's obviously a hole for him

I saw him get it in the Hendricks fight but I don't have a gif. And it's weird, because he will spend like two or three minutes looking slick and then just abandon it for whatever reason

He's a great fighter though

Reach is pretty obviously a big advantage and every champ except for mighty mouse has some of the longest arms in their division
