I can at least appreciate what ONE is doing in terms of having their own set of young prospects who might one day end up on the level of UFC fighters, though they're shooting themselves in the foot by constantly lying about everything, but Bellator and PFL are never gonna compete for top dog while their business model is paying lots of money to over the hill UFC fighters (and now jake paul? lmao) for their name recognition.Google Butt posted:the last good fight was Conor vs Diaz 1 It's okay not to enjoy MMA, but if you enjoy MMA, lol.

blue footed boobie posted:I think you’re confusing complaining about virtue signaling with actually thinking something is okay. This thread has a bad habit off going through cycles where everyone has to announce that mma, the sport we all watch and are here to discuss, is evil, which is basically the definition of virus signaling. Now we’re going on for several pages about how slap fighting is bad and dumb (it is), and it’s getting tiresome. Ok but if that's what you feel a problem is, the solution to that isn't posting about posting, it's actually coming up with another subject to talk about. There's an actual ufc card tonight that starts in like 2 hours, say something about it. Any guesses as to how Vacant will keep their belt tonight?

CommonShore posted:Seriously I get paid better than that for my part time proverbially underpaid insecure teaching position, with no brain damage. Yeah I'm not trying to defend the 2/2 thing, I was just confused by the oddly specific comparison (the context is apparently that that's your own job title(?)), since it seems pretty natural to assume someone with "professor" in their title should be paid way more. That being said, I think unless they "fight" (and win) like 10+ times a year literally any job even slightly above the federal minimum wage pays more, and most don't involve brain damage.

The Carla situation is a bit of an outlier because the first time was the creation of the belt and the second time was a fight where both fighters refused to actually fight, and to make it even weirder somehow both those fights were against the same opponent, she was still champ though. "Undisputed" is just a thing buffer says as part of the announcement, it never seemed like it meant anything to me. When you're calling for a third party to handle rankings/titles you're not calling for a change to UFC, you're calling for a change to international MMA as a whole (and for it to be more like boxing), I'm not gonna put much thought in to whether or not it's a good idea because it just has exactly 0 chance of ever happening unless all the current MMA organizations dissolve or something, or maybe if an international fighter's union is actually formed, which in itself is also a longshot. And yeah, this: Lucasar posted:If lineality is so important Jones is still champ at LHW anyways.

Marching Powder posted:My understanding of the 'title' of lineal champ is that if the lineal champ retires undefeated or fucks his whole life up then the title is passed to the winner of a fight between the consensus number 1 and 2 in the division. Has that seriously not happened since Jones? Ankalaev vs Blachowicz is probably the closest we would've gotten to that, but they fought to a split draw. If it's not the two of them, look at the LHW rankings and tell me who the consensus number 1 and 2 guys are, cuz I don't have a loving clue.

The best LHW in the UFC is probably Stipe, if he was interested in cutting weight, though I suppose at 40 he probably wouldn't be able to anyway, I guess I mean like 5 years ago stipe.

Mekchu posted:Thing is, the cage always looked like a NASCAR covered mess (a bit less than now). They just wanted a bigger cut of the sponsorship money and to prevent fighters from doing advertising of a brand on a card they weren't tied into. Yup, it was always a bullshit excuse.

I don't even want to admit that I know this, but the drink is Logan, the older one who seems to make the dumber decisions (you might recall the forest thing, that was him). Jake, the younger brother, signed to fight in PFL, though personally I maintain that he's never gonna get a real opponent.
