This is going to end up with him fighting TJ at 135 for the interim title.

I'd almost wanna see a DJ/Cruz rematch first at 135 before anything else.

the PPV points setup has been basically the same forever. We first saw the structure back when Randy was having a contract spat with the UFC.

KyloWinter posted:Is CTE worse in football than mma? Absolutely, but mostly because in football after someone gets concussed they go right back to getting smacked in the head again sometimes within minutes but definitely within weeks. In MMA when someone gets concussed, the fight is usually over, and the person is medically suspended for months on end. The number of subconcussive impacts a football player takes, especially guys on the offensive and defensive line, dwarfs the amount of strikes to the head any fighter absorbs.

Also, yeah, the number of professional NFL players is extremely small. There are about 70ish per team (counting practice squad) throughout the regular season. Less than 2300 people a year are able to say they were NFL athletes, and many of them will not play more than 2-3 years. Those majority of the players aren't getting million dollar paydays and instead make a few hundred grand, wash out, and open a car dealership before they eventually eat a bullet because they stared at a picture of their own kid for 20 minutes this morning and couldn't figure out who they were.

Offensive lineman is basically wrestling anyways which is part of why Neal was so loving good at it.

david carmichael posted:Yeah I only thought of Clara because I was really thinking of bobsled and powerlifting where an enormous part is bigass asses. I'm just saying that there is a lot of sports that are transferable to other sports at near-elite and elite levels. Obviously it's not happening every day and the herschel walkers are stupendous athletes. But there are people who have low level professional success at sports that they haven't done enormous amounts of sport specific training for just because there is a large overlap in required skills and training protocols I think a prime Bo Jackson could have crossed over to MMA, but Bo Jackson was once in a lifetime.

Southpaugh posted:Did Lewis gently caress up a weight cut or something vs Hunto? He seemed way more shy about eating shots than normal (even more than I would expect someone to be against Hunt). I only remember him shooting for a very sleepy takedown around R3/4, which Hunt just stepped around. Strikes me as strange that he'd be so timid having called Hunt out in the first place. I think he was wore out because he spent the entire fight running from Hunt because Hunt hits very loving hard and was surprisingly fast for coming in at 265. Hunt's cardio was on point. Lewis got outworked by one of the best heavyweight kickboxers of all time. I don't think it's that he was timid, but rather playing smart. At the beginning he was tagging Hunt pretty well with this strategy and he won the first round. Hunt was relentless, though, and just flat wore him out.

JaySB posted:I don't think he underestimated his punching power because there's highlight reel knockouts in abundance when it comes to Hunt. He probably just has never been hit that hard before. This. Lewis was cautious from the start and it helped win him round 1. He just wasn't expecting the short little pudgy guy to be as fast as he was nor hit quite as hard as he did.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Or Ngannou is going to mystified by a heavyweight who can throw a jab. I had to watch the Arlovski fight again to see if there were any jabs, but Andrei doesn't get to throw much at all before getting dumpstered. Ngannou has 20lbs and a 6 inch reach advantage over JDS, though.

I'm not saying JDS is completely shot nor am I trying to say that he couldn't wreck probably more than half the current heavyweight roster without much trouble. Francis Ngannou is a loving killer though that is bigger, stronger, and a lot younger than him, though. (just had to look it up and JDS is a few months older than me  )

Also Conor has lost in hilarious ways before. See for example Nate Diaz and Joe Duffy fights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkjwIZhT5hg&t=117s
