kimbo305 posted:I too wish for a controversial Muslim force to defeat Israel. Legit lol. I wonder if TJ Dillashaw will make a comeback, he was looking juicy AF and yolked out the other day now he's had his 50 surgeries and is back on the supps. Gotta be honest, i wouldn't mind seeing him back.

FishBowlRobot posted:What’s the condition of Dillashaw’s shoulder, though? I was just speculating just because he was a massive drug cheat, but man was he an incredible fighter when he was fully healthy and in full flight. If he never went to 125 I think he cements a legacy. That being said he'll be 38 next month and has been in competitive sports his whole life, that's a lot of miles on the tyres so I doubt he comes back.

I don't know why but watching some old fights today I think Dricus is going to loving destroy strickland and I don't think it will be particularly close. Like I'm talking a 10-8 beatdown if it even gets out of the first round.

He's actually incredible at juuuuuust slipping out of range and counters with just incredible power and accuracy. His footwork is also outstanding for keeping himself in control the entire time. There's some subtlety to his game that I think people overlook because... mad, but he's a really elite fighter. I don't think he's the type to have a long, career or reign because of that fact but the way he generates power in short areas off slips and counters is rare. I think I'm gonna chuck some cash on him by KO.

kimbo305 posted:I had never seen this particular example of Johnny Walker’s chinniness Yeah, he doesn't have a beard like some guys do, but he often gets hit very clean and very flush and I don't see him developing a shoulder roll or a distance based offense like he could and probably should have. He was fun as hell as a prospect coming in killing dudes in under a minute but he never really rounded out. I guess that window is a small one. He'll probably be fun for a few more years going out on his shield or putting guys out though.

Shumagorath posted:Oh what the gently caress I didn’t realize 297 was happening here. Maybe there’s some way Strickland and Du Pelisses (not looking that up) can be rendered inadmissible to Canada if they’re not already in the country. I’d rather a non-title headliner than those two. Dricus is the number one contender deservedly so and Strickland is the champion and deservedly so. The middleweight title fight deserves to be a main event lol.

Shumagorath posted:I don’t care if he’s the champ or not just don’t bring that poo poo here and have it hold pressers / post-fight interviews where he drools a bunch of slurs and stans for a wannabe dictator. Thats the neat part. It would be the same anywhere!

Tom Clancy is Dead posted:BlindSite's gimmick is they like shitheads Eh my gimmick is wanting to see the best or most interesting fights and being bored of everyone having to fall over themselves to tell you they read das capital and have a twitter account. I dont particularly give a poo poo about either of these guys beyond watching them cause each other brain damage for a pay cheque.

Are we all being whooshed and sold out is like a percentage threshold, like is there some weird event holding industry nomenclature we're running afoul of?

kalensc posted:Well, at least some places aren't shying away from describing his hateful bilge. I don't think he even said "real". EDIT: Found the quote “As far as I know, they came to America and New Zealand. I’m going to take a belt to Africa.” “I’m the African fighting in the UFC. Myself and Cameron [Saaiman], we breathe African air. We wake up in Africa every day. We train in Africa, we’re Africa born, we’re Africa raised, we still reside in Africa, we train out of Africa. That’s an African champion, and that’s who I’ll be.” It's super tame really but Adesenya thinks you can't be from a place if you have a skin colour he decides is wrong.

Cool quote from a genocide defending pedophile from the party you vote for but doesn't really have anything to do with Dricus just being a dude from Africa wanting to win a belt
