Aljo is lame as poo poo and he can scramble all over people but he did nothing with it against Yan and just looked bad. If you can spend that long in back mount and not get a finish you aren't a top p4p fighter.

Finishing other really good people is pretty hard it turns out.

Retro thread recap: UFC 200

That's right, noted dickhead and caretaker of Ronda while she poo poo in the woods Travis Brown was about to fight Cain Velasquez and everyone knew what was about to happen and they liked it.

I just looked at Travis's fight record and it is one of the most truly baffling records in existence. Wins against Struve, Gonzaga, loving Overeem, even Josh Barnett, but quick as look at ya he'll just lose to Andrei Arlovski. Travis Brown was never, ever a better fighter than Struve, Gonzaga, Overeem or Barnett but poo poo happens at heavyweight, and the MMA gods are cruel. They made an athletic commission think he belonged in their with Cain Velasquez (sea level model). Cain beat the loving poo poo out of him with wheel kicks and brutal punches and the bout was unfortunately stopped with a few seconds remaining in the first.

Will Brooks is calling to step in and fight Jalin Turner on short notice and I'm down for that. His first UFC run was a bit of a dud and I'd like to see if he righted the ship.

This is kinda out there but has there ever been AI made that can analyze video of a fight to judge the outcome

Also there should be dark matches where the lights are off in the arena and the gloves light up

E: ^ yeah that.

Thinking of the time Jon Jones allegedly crammed a mysterious dick pill in his mouth like an unattended child and that pill just happened to be full of East German roids.

It's ok, the organizations doing the drug testing don't either.

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:

someone with Conor's money has to be an absolute moron if he pops. I think he's gonna show up fully roided and passing all the tests easy. There's too much money at stake unless you're like Jon Jones level dumb, and even then, they've handwaved his stuff away for years and he got away with pulsing lol.

well yeah, they should, but much like everything else it's going to take a lot to get them to test heavily on the very big/moneymaking fighters. no way is USADA risking the lucrative UFC contract by going out of their way to catch Conor. they can maintain their reputation with most people by running a good program for everyone except the top 1-5%.

Well don't you worry, there's a push to go back and retroactively give Jon his win back against DC because the threshold for pulsing has been bumped up. It's only a matter of time before 12-6 elbows are legal and they go back and give him that one too.

Matchmakers really didn't do Till any favors once he got any momentum. He might have had a chance if they slow rolled the guy after Woodley.
