threeagainstfour posted:Has she ever had to deal with someone like Claudia trying to take her down? Claudia was able to get JJ down and keep there early in their rematch and if she can do that to JJ I feel like Claudia is gonna take Karolina down and either dominate her the entire fight, or finish her. I'm glad Joanna smashed her on the feet in the second half of that because even though Claudia had her grapevined against the fence for two rounds all she did was tap her in the face a bit.

Cruz going around interviewing fighters so he can have accurate and insightful commentary is the best thing. https://twitter.com/DominickCruz/status/870684315901874177

Gadelha is much more self-aware than most fighters I guess https://twitter.com/DannStupp/status/871411307316117504

kimbo305 posted:We've been over this -- people have only so much control over their persona and the marketability thereof. The only thing worse than "bland or boring fighters" are fighters who are trying to ape people like Conor and Chael when they have no charisma or personality. The only thing I think more fighters should do is have an opponent in mind for the post fight interview rather than "I'll fight anyone".

Memento posted:Nahh, they both deserve to be in the UFC but if they weren't as photogenic as they are, they'd both be one or two losses away from being cut. Maybe they are one or two losses away from being cut, who knows. They're not exactly lighting up their respective divisions. Sage started on a much higher payscale than other fighters lmao

Auron posted:Gotcha. Well then work out a deal for 20% of what Dillashaw was supposed to make and waive the fight. Asking for the whole purse is ridiculous. If there's no concern about him making weight then why not agree to the purse forfeit?

They'll stuff top 5 Flyweights in the middle of the prelims while giving two 3-8 LHWs a co-main to gas out in after a minute and a half.

Marching Powder posted:i think it's because he doesn't get promoted, and the people he fights have spent the entire rest of their career buried in the prelims / early prelims so every single title defense sounds like it's against someone from keven's lhw rankings who he crushes easily, instead of world class fighters in their own right.... who he crushes easily Yeah it's much more of a problem with no flyweight getting any promotion so no one cares about their champion crushing them either.

I know lmao but Conor has poo poo talked the UFC like that when he refused to comeback from Iceland but I suspect Artem didn't think of that.

Marching Powder posted:Wow, coming from fellow ufc on fox main eventer and promotional equal artem lobov that's gotta count for something. He then moved on to calling Aldo out as Artem is "the closest you'll ever get to Conor again. It'd be an honour". Big oul evening for him on Twitter.

Rigel posted:Bullshit. Jon Jones was crowned for quite a while, and it took him being inactive plus Mighty Mouse going on an absurd run before people reluctantly went "oh fine, OK MM is PFP #1 I guess" P4P existed as a concept long before Jon Jones

Marching Powder posted:he never did this. the fight with borg was at his usual pay and conditions, and the fight with tj would have been at this usual pay and conditions if they'd just agreed to insure that he made weight. they couldn't even do that so lol, good. "Don't ruin this for TJ!! " was my favourite part
