So do most people?

It's generally safer to move away from someone's power hand, and since most fighters are orthodox, they spend most of their careers circling one direction by default.

This is an especially weird thing to pick up on, because one time Bisping did decide to mix it up and circle the other way was against Hendo... and he walked straight into a right hand for his trouble and spent the rest of the evening moonlighting as an amateur astronomer.

He spent most of his career circling to his left, into the power hands of orthodox fighters.

Rockhold fought basically the same way he did in the first fight, when he trounced Bisping soundly, so it seems silly to say he fought a stupid fight.

Nah, the first fight he picked him off at range with kicks. The second he waded in as if his boxing defence isn't poo poo (his boxing defence is poo poo

Rockhold threw like a dozen kicks in the three minutes that the second fight lasted. The second fight happens at a close range because Bisping stays in the pocket more instead of trying to dance around the edge and pot shot. He stands his ground when Rockhold attacks, and throws back. The punch that puts Rockhold down is beautifully set up by a left that gets Rockhold's attention and makes him pick his head up so Bisping can put the right hand over the top. He wouldn't have been there to throw that punch in the first fight because he'd have been back on his bike doing laps around the edge of the cage.

Romero is going to hit Bisping very very hard because he hits everyone very very hard, and Bisping gets hit hard by everyone. And that will probably lead to Bisping getting KOed.

Bisping gets dropped a lot but hes tough and recovers well.. Romero should probably beat him but instead he will drop him in the first then get tired and lose 4 rounds and everyone will wonder why he Forgot to Wrestle (tm)

I think Romero is more resilient than given credit for. He was dead against Kennedy at the end of the second round and required only minor cheating to KO him in the next round. Bisping will be in danger the whole time.

maias solid, he just didnt stand at the top til people like hendricks and condit mental failed, and others got old/left cuz ufc didnt pay up

I love Condit so very much, but the man who could not stay upright probably wouldn't have ever beaten Maia in a three rounder.

fair but he was in the division the whole time. the rock paper scissors style makes fights game overall favored condit, though. thats why he fought for the title and maia didnt. maia was part of the insanity of that time. hes bisping like in sticking around so long at the almost top level until it pays off

Condit got his title shot against Lawler after notching one straight win and going 2-3 in his last five.

And all MMA fans are all the richer for it. Especially jase

I am exceedingly glad he did because Condit is cool as hell, and it's a great fight, but he got the title shot because he's really exciting, and Maia hasn't so far because he's not.

In retrospect I can't believe Hunt lasted til round 5 against Stipe, because nobody else has made it out of the first since then.

It's like in It Follows, Dom tricked Cody into taking his loads and now Cody is being stalked by an inexorable force that will destroy his bones and joints.

Breaking news, I have also signed a contract to fight Floyd Mayweather, he is unaware of this contract and the details are ludicrously unfair to him, but I am under contract to fight him and if he doesn't sign he's a drat coward.

i don't think this will happen but it had better or it won't really be close.

for perspective, i still think tj / dodson would be competitive at 125 / 135 (ignoring their first fight) and dodson doesn't belong in the same cage as mm.

Watching then fight Lineker back to back I don't think Dodson would be competitive with TJ anymore.

tj only has a size advantage and if he can't use it effectively mm will wreck him

Size does not strictly dictate power, if it did John Dodson would be impossible.

As I watched tj land a hundred unanswered, undefended shots on barao, who is still standing, I think to myself 'There's a man with formidable power'

Barao has a really good chin, some of the shots he took from Stephens were nuts.

The UFC can be pretty lovely with how they treat fighters, but health seems to be the one thing they're (usually) good about.

It was pretty good when Dana White basically called Jose Also a pussy for delaying a fight due to injury. Definitely looking out for him. Of course that was before, when it was owned by guys who actually cared about the sport and not an agglomeration of random actors and NFL owners and agents, I'm sure it's better now...

compillation of jose aldo defending takedowns https://streamable.com/0xxwt

Owns. I like the Florian section where Rogan keeps talking about how Florian is making Aldo work with the takedown attempts while a Florian gets progressively slower and bloodier and less successful from one attempt to the next.

I'll take Junior over the guy whose best win is 2017 vintage Andrei Arlovski and who has never been out of the second round.
