Could you elaborate on that a bit? Trying to think of why it's lovely exactly :thunk: if a guy doesn't want to roll with girls or vice versa then what's wrong?

I got about a minute into it where he talked about the girl having an affair with her coach as a reason he doesn't roll with women and stopped watching, that was gross enough for me

His main general argument is that it's impossible to avoid having impure thoughts about a woman you're rolling with unless she's sufficiently ugly.
He clearly doesn't believe people who claim they can do that. I wonder what he has to say about a straight man and gay man rolling, or two gay men rolling?

Just finished watching last nights main event, and very much agree. I wonder how well he'll do against more wrestling-focused fighters. If they match him against Holloway, that should be a banger (but probably not much of a test of his grappling).

Through most of my BJJ career I was the lightest in my classes by a good margin so I always had to roll with women I never gave a poo poo, you're there to do Jiu Jitsu. Although sometimes with some full guard passes female training partners would be less than sensitive to say - the vulnerabilities of a male training partner - especially with the pass where you drive your knee through to take half guard.

I'm ready to anoint Kevin Lee the lightweight Brandon Vera, you couldn't ask for a better fighter on paper when you look at his resume and camps etc but the dude just seems to suck at two weight classes rather than be dominant at either one. Maybe he'll have a future in One FC on all kinds of supplements like Vera too.

Woodley was a bad champ, but his wonderboy fights are just all time loving stinkers. Sometimes you just gotta throw the shot and hope it works out for you. I think the guys had world class yips for years. At some point being a fighter was working for him but goddamn does he sucks poo poo. I'm even fine if woodley reads this and wants to beat my rear end because rather than knocking me out he'd hug the nearest wall and always have the potential to devastatingly knock me to but never do it.

i hate the woodley / wonderboy fights because i can't even say he didn't have the right idea. woodley threw roughly 4 punches in 50 minutes and 2 of them nearly decapitated wonderboy. on paper woodley / wonderboy will suck in every iteration of the fight across dimensions forever. it is the promotion's fault for booking it a second time. there is literally no excusing that.

What kills me is Woodley always seemed like a nice guy. (Maybe I missed something there.) But constantly getting poo poo on by Dana and co. - so I rooted for him even more. And he just disappointed every turn.

Woodley was never good and his KO against Robbie was somehow not valid I'll find an explanation for it in a little bit just trust me on this.

maybe maybe MAYBE the fight was fixed, but Jake Paul picked Woodley as his opponent precisely BECAUSE he always fights gun shy so that when Woodley would throw the fight, it would look exactly the same as all his other fights, so us super smart MMA fans would end up DEFENDING the fight as not fixed. Has anyone thought about that huh?

Woodley Wonderboy 1 was fight of the night. He was a fun fighter until he got washed and stopped throwing his hands.

He's probably the 2nd or 3rd greatest welterweight champ.

I don't know the history of the division well enough to push him further down but it seems obvious Usman surpassed him both in terms of impressive title defenses, an overall win streak and of course directly in the cage, and then of course there's GSP, so I don't think he can be 2nd.

You have to wonder how history will look at the champ who never had more than a 3 fight winning streak in the UFC.
