Lord Waffle Beard posted:I think khabib is going to have trouble getting TFERG down, and even more trouble keeping him there and Tony is gonna gently caress him up, imo. I've watched every Tony Ferguson UFC fight and have been a fan & believer since he broke Aaron Riley's jaw. But whenever I think of Ferguson I always remember the guy who barely got by Danny Castillo and not the guy who schooled Rafael Dos Anjos. I hope he beats Khabib but I'm worried his growth has all been a lie. Like he still doesn't really know how to deadlifts properly.

-Atom- posted:Khabib has had such a weird career thus far only sorta though. he's fought 8 guys in 5 years which really isn't that bad. however khabib is from the camp that has so many frequent fight cancellations that it looks bad for everybody. In my opinion Cain is the only guy who really never actually fights. Rockhold/Khabib/Cormier/Thomson/etc. aren't that bad for pulling out of fights, but together, it looks very bad.

Auron posted:Average of less than 2 fights a year. yes, tons of top ranked fighters barely average 2 fights a year. khabib and the rest of AKA (other than Cain) are only a little behind the average. it isn't a big deal. tony ferguson himself has fought a grand total of 2 more fights than khabib has in that span of time. it barely matters. that's what poo poo metric I'm using thank you for reading my post david carmichael posted:I didn't think khabib cut much weight same.

Lord Waffle Beard posted:Ever since the early weigh ins were instated there has been roughly 1 million more problems with people missing weight Yeah. I kinda think fighters should be allowed to opt-in or out of the earlier weigh-ins. Some fighters enjoy waking up near target weight and getting it all over with while some fat guys like Johny Hendricks need the extra couple hours they used to get. I mean they should try to get rid of weight cutting altogether, but if they won't do that, at least let some fighters have a choice.

I.N.R.I posted:johnsons like a good striker isnt he? could b fun Johnson beat Ferguson with his superior striking years ago. That might be a good enough reason for Tony Ferguson to accept the match, but I don't blame him if he declines the offer. To clarify what Le Saboteur is talking about, apparently this isn't just a fighter calling out Tony on twitter; UFC is involved and trying to get the fight made.

for the first time I disagree with you on fighter opinions because I like Johny Hendricks quite a lot. especially when he hasn't eaten in 12 hours and is challenging ariel helwani to a cage match

Eat This Glob posted:Fairly certain the ufc doesn't have a stopwatch and a guy with a starters pistol signifying when you can start cutting weight. Johny and others could even start losing weight now if they wanted to for their next fight. yes and no. they could lose weight now and make the actual weight cut easier, of course, but nobody is going to do that because we like seeing the most muscular guys we can punch each other. that's why we spend money on UFC. Nobody wants to see average body johny hendricks step into the octagon. Athletic commissions & UFC sort of do have a stopwatch and starter pistol when fighters begin cutting weight. usually it begins when they arrive in town for the fights a few days before the fight and speeds up as they closer to weigh-ins. The earlier deadline clearly fucks with a lot of dudes who used to use every available hour on the final day. There are simply fewer hours now to do the final part of the cut, which is a problem for a lot of guys out there.

david carmichael posted:You could just start your water/sodium cycling 9 hours earlier, or arrive in Vegas 9 hours earlier, or start your camp 9 hours earlier. It's not that big of a deal, and lots of people missed weight before early weigh ins. Is there evidence to suggest a higher proportion of fighters are missing weight now, and can we decouple that from usada's increased controls? As compiled by MMAJunkie‘s Mike Bohn, 21 UFC fighters have missed weight since the early weigh-ins were instituted. By comparison, in the first half of the year just one fighter missed weight under the system previously in place. It has caused an issue, but I'm not sure if that's the new norm. A lot of those guys will probably adjust for 2017. The first time messed with quite a few guy's weight cuts though Agreed with the first part about starting your cut 9 hours earlier, but things like arriving at Vegas 9 hours earlier might be out of the fighter's hands. I'm not sure how much involvement UFC fighters have when it comes to arranging when their flights depart.

Fozzy The Bear posted:Overeem JUST lost to the champion, shouldn't he need 1 or 2 more wins? I mean its heavyweight, but still. Agreed, but if Cain or Werdum are still getting injured nonstop then it's probably gonna be between Derrick Lewis and Overeem. if JDS beats Miocic then it's gonna be the Overeem rematch for sure.

He probably should, Stipe is the best heavyweight of all time right now. But if JDS wins like he did 3 years ago then Junior is back to being the greatest ever.

manyak posted:This will seem like a "___ was always bad" post but Im thinking Stephen thompson isnt as good as a lot of people wanted him to be, his wins leading up to the title fight dont look as good in retrospect agreed, but if you judge Thompson's wins by how they look after he lost you're going to have to do the same for Demian Maia if he loses to Woodley too, and it's gonna look about the same in hindsight. That's cause I don't think anybody has put together a truly impressive run at 170 since Johny Hendricks wasn't so fat and legitimately earned his right to fight GSP. Which I think was kind of your point when you said the division is way less deep than it used to be but I wasn't sure what time frame you were talking about

I don't think Jon Jones is that big of an rear end in a top hat in real life. He just finds Cormier and Rashad annoying. Also I would hazard a guess that 95% or more of all fighters are being themselves. It's just fighters are more concerned with being highly-skilled athletes instead of charismatic entertainers. Like the one time a fighter let loose it was Forrest Griffin immediately making a rape joke and it never happened again. Derrick Lewis is good poo poo though

SNITCHING ON WEED. snowball king. that osp fight. steroids. these are all pretty bad things and as a not perfect human i still feel comfortable saying some of these things are assholish traits. Those are mostly Jon Jones being a fuckup, which he is, but I don't really see much that makes him mean. Hector Lombard is an rear end in a top hat. jon Jones.. eh, he's a pothead who likes to pet his exotic cat. Even when he goes on Instagram and calls his fans ugly or whatever he does, usually it's cause they started it.

He's supposed to get like 4 years minimum suspension right? Cause that'll be the 2nd drug test failure. Not sure how pre-USADA stuff gets factored in with new ones. Either way he's 35 and... actually after a 4 year suspension he'd still be like average age for a heavyweight.
