Sure, not every ol person on contract should be seeing Dana whenever they want, but you'd think Diego Sanchez of all people might have earned a little face time.

yeah. if dana wasn't a shitheel who fell into every trapping of fame and fortune that pop culture has warned us about he'd do diego the decency of pleading with him to retire face to face. as it is though, this is absolutely not a surprise.

i feel bad for diego. he was seasoned before i started following the ufc again like a decade ago. it sucks to see him thrown on the trash heap like this but it is what it is.

e: holy loving poo poo he flogged kenny florian on tuf1 finale 16 years ago. absurd.

Poor Diego. I'm not a fan, but drat it sucks how lovely the UFC is to fighters.

and yeah i hope your bro finds a modicum of happiness calling convicts gay from within his playground of nightmares and flogging them when they are forced to enter. it's probably the funniest prison story i've ever heard and i've heard some great ones.

i can see the point that dana couldn't be at the beck and call of every fighter on the roster but yeah when a guy helped save the company that's currently occupying your time 16 years ago you pick up the phone imo.

education edit: never used the phrase 'beck and call' in writing before and had to google it because wtf is 'beck'? it's short for beckon fyi.

gently caress that old thread was wild. it features me wondering seriously why demian maia was a +400 dog against loving kamaru usman. it also features me not believing that cmpunk could possibly be bad enough to lose to a journalist with some amateur boxing experience they picked specifically to be bad enough to lose to cm punk. to say i was wrong on both counts would be wildly charitable.

I see Oliveira's protracted path to the title as a failure of UFC brass to appropriately nurture talent more than anything. I remember seeing him early in his UFC career and thinking right away that he looked like a future contender, but any time he ever got some forward momentum going the UFC would throw him in the deep end of the pool and match him up with someone he was clearly not ready for. I mean, in his first three years with the promotion that dude fought Jim Miller, Donald Cerrone, Frankie Edgar and Cub Swanson all close to their primes. If he would have been given a more gradual path into contention then I think he would have developed his confidence and skills to where they are today much faster. But instead he just got his rear end whipped over and over by division elites and I think that shook him and led to this unfortunate narrative that he wilts under pressure. Who knows, maybe he even believed it after a while. I'm really glad that he had the wherewithal to keep going until his game and mentality developed more fully. He's just an incredibly fun fighter to watch and seems like a genuinely nice guy. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does moving forward now that he isn't just bouncing off the top 5-10 over and over anymore.

i really don't know about this. it's not like he was just fed to sharks. the dude was good and when he was on he could have beat those dudes.

And yet he did not beat any of them. You don't have to fight exclusively sharks to have your career suffer for being pushed too fast. The fighters that were appropriate matches he did beat. I just think that when your best wins in your first five years with the promotion are Jonathan Brookins and Jeremy Stephens, maybe there should be some intermediate steps before you get to the biggest murderers in the division. That's what he was getting though.

fair enough. i can't remember the context of the matchmaking back then but i never remember anyone saying how inappropriate the match ups were or thinking that oliveira was being sent in there to die. he's always been hanging around contention.

Someone on reddit made, or linked, to a collection of delayed knockouts.

this is cool because it reinforces to me just how loving weird the barboza one is. a count of four before the dude goes cross eyed, loses all balance, and then finally loses consciousness.

still think about that liver shot knockout from the olden days where the dude gets drilled in the liver, doubles over in pain, and when the other guy runs in to finish it he gets knocked the gently caress out and finished before the knockout from the liver shot sets in.

It's the salient example of a fighter who's completely rocked swinging for the fences and turning the tide when the opponent comes in to finish.
Pat Barry x Cheick Kongo isn't a one hit example but has the same insane degree of reversal.

actually i just remembered a story from i think bisping who got knocked out but autopiloted to victory and came to during the result announcement. he said he was heaps excited but back stage everyone was trying to get him into the ambulance and he was saying 'no, i won, what are you talking about?' and finally someone asks him 'what year is it?' and he thinks for a couple of seconds before asking where the ambulance was.
