It’s all because that KSI fella is absolutely massive in the UK, no?

(Also I had it once because it was 2 for $3 at a quickie mart here. Went straight back to BioSteel.)


Old thread reply, but I can't say I'd consider him more notable than literally any other UK YouTuber, even considering I do sort of keep up with the circles KSI involves himself in, i.e. boxing etc.

I think it's more that the UK is loving braindead.

The fencing position is when your arms go all stiff and out.

Maybe not the most textbook example but an easily remembered one would be Terry Etim being murdered

I just realized the volk super fight is THIS WEEK after a coworker mentioned it and I haven't heard poo poo about this fight being promoted whatsoever, am I crazy??? I've heard way more about dana's white power and other poo poo (jon jones, conor, etc) than i would like. Nothing about this fight at all. Anyone else???

because this is how dana white's brain works


"i could gently caress those little guys up they're tiny this fight isn't going to sell so i'm not going to market it"

but also works like this

"yeah sure my heavyweight champion looks like a god and has a body sculpted to perfection, and could make me more money than anyone else ever, but he thinks he has rights so gently caress that"

they did bring you in to lose, but they also brought you in to not get paid by someone else, sorry friend.

if i were a betting man, i'd put my dollar on what's his name, the 155 champ, idk, holding volk down for most of the fight, however long it lasts.

would love to see volk win though.

He's gonna get old and slow down eventually or retire before it.
Just hope it's your turn in the beating list when it happens if he does lose a step

if he commits to 155 full time and builds his body without having to consider going 145, he'd take the w the next time out imo

It is at this point arguable that effective grappling ISN'T weighted equally to striking anymore, and that is a loving issue.

i think there's also a problem of effective defense being weighted less valuably than ineffective offence.
you can stand in the middle throwing and missing but if you're slipping the punches, you'll look like you're losing despite making the dude miss and waste energy

the volk/islam fight's at least a good example of pointing out people who think MMA is strictly a fight between people and the dude who got busted up most should lose and if they don't it's bullshit vs people who realise it's a contest where you score points against rules through the medium of punching people and poo poo. i'd never argue the rules and criteria for scoring are even great, but that's what the sport is, not just a punch up.

same reason why people think a close fight can't possibly be a "49-46" or a "4-1" "5-0" and that all close fights have to be "3-2".
it's totally possible to win a fight 50-45 but all of those rounds be razor close things where the defining round winning factor is a single scramble across the entire five minute round. it's quite unlikely that'd be the case. i think there was a josé aldo fight like that? maybe even the UFC 200 one that was posted about recently?

but people also seem to think that if the final round is close as hell/dominant for the fighter who lost the previous 4, that means the other rounds should be re-evaluated.

trying to get that point across to people is an exercise in frustration, so it's not worth trying to make the point.



tl;dr - people fuckin dumb

i suppose where they are on the list is always highly debateable or whatever, but alex under islam on a p4p list is hard to defend when the general consensus and evidence suggests that alex would win if they were genuinely the same fighting size.
