Didn't loving Mayhem have him briefly rocked in their fight with a right hand?

iirc he hit him with some wild right hands without ever hurting him because it's mayhem and bisping has a good chin

iirc yoel has no idea how old he actually is because he was born in a little cuban village, he could be even older.

when hirota started wrapping his hands he went from winning decisions to having his next six wins come by tko stoppage

iirc he was confused by the notion that you wouldn't punch as hard as you could all the time

which in the context of the time he was fighting makes a lot of sense because being good at mma meant having really good offense and hitting hard, i'm pretty sure there was no point to him throwing with less than 100% power in most of his fights

e: i'm obviously not saying that there's no point to doing that. but it didn't really impact quarry much because of how, and who, he fought.

he fought some guys who knew how to strike. rivera and franklin

oh yeah and they loving killed him but i don't think the fact that quarry threw everything hard changed those fights at all. they were just way better. i'm not saying everyone sucked just that quarry probably had the best career he could have had.

agree. he was a bit of an older guy too i think

i watched the quarry/franklin fight not too long ago and it seems so incredibly unfair. nate has zero chance. but apparently he was 3-0 with only first round knockouts so i guess franklin was just really really good.

the special is straight fire in the sense that norm macdonald is straight, and wants to set fire to marginalized groups in america.

i was going to argue that bisping could beat jacare if he could dodge the right hand for five rounds but then i remember the hendo fight

i think jds will beat that francis guy. he's still really good. just not elite. whereas knocking out arlovski puts francis in the esteemed company of brett rogers.

Have you watched any of Ngannou's fights? He would beat Brett Rogers worse than Overeem did.

He didn't just KO Arlovski. He's destroyed everyone he's fought.

the last time jds fought someone on arlovski's level was uhh 2010, roy nelson when he was undefeated in the ufc. the last time he fought someone on the level of ngannou's other opponents was before the ufc (or i guess yvel if you want to be really generous).

ngannou might be really good but he's fought one good fighter who is notorious for his awful chin and had lost three in a row. and jds has fought the best fighters in the division for like seven years.

i think probably aldo will shut holloway down for a 50-45 or 49-46 but there'll be a lot of cool moments along the way

i hope you're right, holloway is awesome. aldo just has a way of completely shutting down guys who are awesome.
