Bucky Fullminster posted:Bah it's what he does, those two were elite, just give him someone in the latter half of the rankings and get a scrap on. Yeah the point isn't that he lost 2 fights so therefore he's not skilled, it is that he needs to take a break from taking brain damage.

I don't think I've ever even seen the word "Quokka" in my life. Anyway, my view is that weight classes exist for a reason and I don't think Volk's gonna have the strength or ability to stop Islam's wrestling, especially looking back at his path to the title, as far as I can tell the only wrestler he's fought is Chad Mendes? You can maybe count Ortega too if you're generous but that's not the same, partially due to ability and partially because Ortega likes to just stand with anyone, and to the best of my recollection, mostly did.

https://twitter.com/guicruzzz/status/1623120254921502721 Jesus christ what a paragraph. Islam's English is pretty good these days, probably better than Khabib's was when he was champ.

I think overall it makes a lot of sense if China cares a lot about the Olympics and doesn't care at all about UFC, that aside, Weili spends a lot of her time in Vegas these days doesn't she?

It's interesting to me how much of Islam's dominance particularly in terms of ground game decision making depends on Khabib being in the corner screaming concise instructions on what to do next

kimbo305 posted:I don't think that was it. Volk was really strong and slipping away from any kind of control. Islam wasn't one step ahead and simply scrambling to counter every position improvement Volk made. Could be that Khabob's instructions would've gotten him that one step ahead though, if he was there, you know? We'll probably never actually find out though. Was Javier even there? I don't remember.

BlindSite posted:I wonder if its part of the language barrier - Islam speaks pretty good english but I wonder if when you're in the stress of a title fight he doesn't pick up technical instruction super well in his second language and perfers one of his crew give the instructions. I think it's more that Javier comes from a kickboxing background and just doesn't have the same immediate understanding of the ground game that Khabib does, though it could be a little of both.

I enjoyed the fight but we need more champs staying in their own divisions for a while, I'm glad Islam is saying "I need real contenders" and not "Conor where you at" or some bullshit

CarlCX posted:Oh, yeah, just ask Bobby Green. MMA has never scored defense worth a poo poo. I'm guessing this is some kind of "I heard from my cousin's uncle's friend's girlfriend..." kind of situation, even immediately after the fight there was a journalist at the presser asking Islam something along the lines of "I heard you told your corner after the fight that you thought you lost", rumor mill is quick. That being said, even if it's somehow true, reminder that nothing was ever done about this: https://streamable.com/wqbnn

mewse posted:??? If I'm understanding it correctly, that suspension was specifically for doing this at UFC 212 in Rio, but this specific video is from UFC 217 in New York. I might be wrong and the suspension is for both  Edit: Wait no, I just looked at the actual USADA release, they definitely mention both, so I just remembered this wrong.

Unperson_47 posted:This is kinda out there but has there ever been AI made that can analyze video of a fight to judge the outcome I believe this is pretty far off from current video recognition technology. At the very least to make something like that happen you'd need the video to be from a single consistently-placed source, or have access to several such sources, and that's just for the system to figure out which fighter is which and where they are in the octagon, before even getting in to anything to do with actual judging. I think you'd probably want some kind of sensors in the gloves too, both to measure amount of strikes and force of impact, might also be helpful for the positioning problem. But then what do you do about kicks? Brut fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Feb 14, 2023 |

Yeah the slowmo that suddenly gets applied mid-sequence actually makes it more confusing to see what the gently caress is going on, is there a realtime clip?
