Nierbo posted:This might be Conor's retirement fight if he loses I mean he's gonna make more easy money on the YT boxing circuit, so the circus only moves a little further out of town limits. beep by grandpa posted:I also think it is unwise for Conor fighting again just 6 months after such a bad KO. If Dustin lands with basically any power shot he's gonna be on the canvas. He should have taken a year off after that It's not great, but it also depends vastly on how he's been doing his camp and how much damage he's taken there. Getting a steady diet of punches in the months leading up is worse than getting a clean KO on fight night.

I wonder how they decide who gets to do the sponsorship plug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxsZXg5Q_XI&t=425s If it's first come first serve, if the manager convinces the UFC their guy is the best shot, or what. Anyways, this is corny but I hope Wonderboy gets decent cash for it. And not State of Survival bucks or worse, NFTs.

evobatman posted:-Because he never used to leg kick before and don't have the years of experience and conditioning a regular leg kicker does, he inevitably fucks up something. Most likely his own leg. When talking about conditioning for your legs, it's mostly to do with nerves in the skin. Repeated microtrauma to the bone can make the surface denser, but not to a degree that would protect it from hitting a hard object. Freudian slippers posted:It showed that McGregor, with about 11 seconds remaining of the first, throws a straight body kick. Poirier keeps his guard up, but blocks/deflects it hard with his elbow. I saw that replay, but it doesn't seem like the shin hits Poirier's elbow or forearm. Still, Conor was throwing the rear kick so much that I'm not surprised it fractured off of one of the hits.

crepeface posted:edit: oh yeah, he also has not really had to get used to roundhouse leg kicks because he mostly fights against orthodox fighters. he could get away with a long bladed stance, exposing the back of his legs because opponents would need to switch stance to kick there. You can throw a lead roundhouse to a mirror stanced opponent without switching stance. It is something southpaws get a lot more practice doing on offense, but I as a southpaw never took it for granted that my front leg was safe from orthodox kickers. Conor's bladed stance is a range choice he makes against orthodox fighters. TheKingslayer posted:That sounded like an, "always bad" judgement and that wasn't it. Just the thought he wasn't necessarily a tippy top world beater guy. I think if he'd never fought Nate at "155," he could have picked up some more highlight reel wins in a 145 title reign. Going to 155 because he struggled to make 145 still exposed him to bigger and stronger fighters, namely the 3 who've beaten him in recent history. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Jul 12, 2021 |

crepeface posted:i've never seen a lead leg roundhouse in an open angle land with any kind of speed or power without a telegraphing stance switch/half step. is this a TKD thing? do you have any links You rock your upper body back as a counterweight and throw essentially a Brazilian kick from the ground. It's not gonna be as powerful as a kick with more windup or hip torsion, but it's more than enough to damage (or turn them around if they're only lifting their leg and not full-on checking) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVXv0nHE8N4&t=99s That's same stance and to the body instead of to a mirror leg, but the body shift is the same. Wonderboy teaches a karate version that emphasizes snapping the shin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV8gNR8qpes&t=308s

This guy really belabors the point, but not much hard contact on the very last teep Conor threw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK7xB0XDbmw&t=24s Another theory has it as the round kick at 13s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeAfdAhzggQ&t=6s crepeface posted:interesting. i feel like the mirror stance/open angle match up fucks up the range though (since you're leaning away) and basing off your back foot. It is a completely different range, yes. Offensively (when your opponent is not moving toward you), their lead leg is the only easy target. Either you throw a fast weak lead kick to it, or a really slow (since it has to swing almost 180deg) rear kick to the inside of the leg, the one that is begging for a straight counter. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Jul 12, 2021 |

Freudian slippers posted:I don't mean to rag on you here, I think the debate is interesting and I'm fully prepared to accept that the damage happened earlier in the fight. That said, I'm not a fan of the video you posted. By the time Conor's foot contacts and starts retracting, there'd be so little speed left that Dustin wouldn't really be able to do that kind of damage in the remaining couple of inches he had left to reach down. So: - no video evidence of contact - video shows pretty slow approach of the right forearm such that it wouldn't be a factor if it did make contact And yeah, I dunno who cared about the left elbow, but he just wanted to make it abundantly clear that that was not a factor.

LobsterMobster posted:Miles goes to the doctor for a reading of his MRI, and the doc asks if he wants a coach in the room with him (Uhhh, seems weird 2 me) and Miles declines that option. Miles has a grade 2 strain of the MCL, then says he's torn the MCL, but the other ligaments are fine. The doctor says a hit to the knee or a submission could make the injury worse. I'm assuming Miles called it a tear in front of the teams? Did the doctor talk directly about whether it was a tear or strain? I could see Miles not really drawing a distinction between the two. Further, is there any hint that Dana talked to Miles 'backstage' or to the doctor directly, provided Miles gave consent etc? Not trying to give Dana any benefit of the doubt, just want to understand the sequence by which he went with calling it a sprain.

Thought he more than held his own until he lost gas and was getting edged out in every exchange. I don’t see him catching Yan early, so hopefully he’s worked on staying strong for 5.

I think he was painting Woodley as wanting to horn in on his sidepiece, not Lombard's gf. Woodley doesn't look great, but obviously neither does Hector. Also free shot at Ricardo Libório for trying to keep it all swept under the rug.

Brut posted:If you're kneeling in front of your opponent and their limbs are free enough that they can choose to punch or kick you in the head, and just one of those happens to be against the rules, you're losing the fight pretty bad. Step really deep with the right foot and go for a double, or if you have the flexibility, reap his legs with the right calf. Put your head up right into his waist/stomach as you go, assume you won't get kneed and watch out for the guillotine. None of this offense has to fully succeed, it just needs to do enough to keep you from getting punched. You could also just fall back into a butt scoot. In motion, I think you have plenty of options. It'll take another fraction of a second for Yan to sprawl or snapdown and stop Aljo from moving.
