Lucasar posted:Apart from the pay and the billing and the likelihood of the winner being parachuted in to a title shot in a weightclass of their choosing, the match-up actually makes sense for both guys. They are at similar points in their careers with similarly unproven records against the top of the current heap, and both are very aggressive fighters so it'll definitely be a good fight. It's just that in terms of divisional relevance it should be a 5 round fight night main event instead of a ppv headliner.

I don’t think Conor was that aggressive in his last fights, and definitely won’t be against someone whose double leg faces little challenge from Conor’s repertoire. He can lay off the roids and start timing knees for the rest of camp.

Conor will lose in a stupid way. His fans will insist that he actually looked quite good considering the break he's had and that saturn is in retrograde. He'll then fight for the middleweight title.

He can lay off the roids and start timing knees for the rest of camp. Conor's always been a counter fighter, he's not going to lead now and while Chandler does have the wrestling chops he has of late been using the threat of his wrestling to create that uncertainty that opens up he leaping hook, overhands and even high kicks. Chandler does have great accuracy and he pushes back and forth and holds the pace well. It's a fun match up with Conor I don't get how anyone can look at this on paper and not be keen to see it.

BlindSite posted:Conor's always been a counter fighter, he's not going to lead now I was just responding to "both are very aggressive fighters" Conor's pace is high if the other fighter gives a lot of openings coming in or standing on the pocket, so he'll probably be active until he gasses. Then it's gonna be non existent takedown defense and passive ground work. Best case scenario is a Chad Mendes type result. Not out of the question.

Sure he has power and timing, not accuracy. UFC stats have him at 46% for whatever that's worth.

Chandler is a fighter who is very different after the first 6 or so minutes of a fight. He's an extremely powerful and aggressive puncher with deceptively sharp footwork at the beginning but once that initial round-and-a-bit rush wears off he starts throwing single shots and rubbing his face on his opponent's crush and trying to sit in the guard as long as he can to get a rest.

I can't see an average anywhere, top 10 is 56 - 60 though. e: I'm actually kind of a Chandler fan and I hope he beats the alleged rapist, I just don't think he's very accurate. COPE 27 fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Feb 5, 2023 |

If you read the fine print the UFC's striking average stats are stupid because they only average significant strike ratios. So Islam can, say, ground Thiago Moises and throw hundreds of punches, but they'll only count the significant strikes and say he had a 66% average.

Huh. I just learned that Mark Coleman and Kevin randleman were both victims of sexual assault by Ohio state's team doctor during the big scandal with US rep Jim Jordan turning a blind eye. I know this is old news to most of you but I'm just now learning that that doctor lost his job at the university, opened up his own place, and resumed abusing boys / men. Awesome.

kimbo305 posted:I was just responding to "both are very aggressive fighters" I'm the one who called Conor aggressive and you're right it was not the most precise choice of words. I guess I meant that his output is always pretty good and he doesn't avoid engagements, which is not always true for counter fighters. Like Adesanya and Anderson can have these sort of bare-minimum performances where they just stay safe and don't take any risks that I don't think Conor has the personality for. Conor takes risks and moves forward.
