Rashad vs. Sam Alvey for the Fight Night card in Mexico City in August, that fight's got stinker written all over it

Alvey is a southpaw, so he's going to win

if miocic was getting paid so little he needed a day job then i don't begrudged mighty mouse angling for a fairer deal because post fight the ufc repossesses his furniture and fucks his wife

He's a regular professional firefighter/paramedic, and I don't think he does it because he has to, he does it because he likes it, likes having a career to fall back on, and they work around his schedule. A lot of MMA fighters are firefighters, since a job where you work 10 days a month and do nothing but lift weights at work is pretty agreeable for an athlete.

I walk around at like 210 and once spent a minute unable to get out from under the side control of a (very low level) female pro strawweight. Mighty Mouse would easily handle me in a grappling match and beat me even easier if striking came into play, and I'm willing to bet I'm more fit/capable to fight than 90% of the population.

That rules.

This now has my wondering if I could escape from beneath an 80 pound non-elite pro woman and I'm going to go against the grain here and say I probably could

i escaped eventually. but it was an embarrassing minute before i did.

Hell, I myself was easily beat by an 80 pound girl, also I weigh 210 pounds and probably am not 6'3" or taller. This means that mighty mouse is actually good.

I am over 6'3" and mighty mouse is actually good

Demian Maia, arguably the greatest MMA grappler of all time and has a claim to top 10 bjj practitioners of all time, couldn't beat Mark Munoz who was approx the same size because mark was too strong to get dragged to the ground. And we can all agree that Mark Munoz had basically no training

i have actually grappled with mark munoz and was unable to beat him, thereby making me as good as demian maia

It still kinda amazes me that the UFC Heavyweight division is a thing. Basically every single one of them could have chosen to say, play professional football for 500x the money.

Brock Lesnar, probably the best physical talent the division has ever seen, couldn't make it onto an NFL team.

I'm pretty sure he had never actually played organized football before either, so the fact that he almost walked on to a NFL team is pretty nuts.

my point was that there's a lot of skill other than being big strong and fast and that not everyone big strong and fast can play football

Bethe Correia being knocked out mid-taunt would have been way better if the taunt hadn't been 30 seconds of her going "come at me bro" while Holly Holm bobs up and down outside of punching range, and it would have only been "good" if it hadn't been preceded by two rounds of Bethe trying badly to fight while Holm bobbed up and down just outside of punching range.
