I randomly followed a self defense / combatives account from my Instagram explore page, and it seemed ok for a while. Then one day, they posted the old Southpark clip of gay vs f--, with the caption "if you don't think this is funny, we can't be friends in real life" And save for what I wrote, every other comment is some kind of agreement or thinking it's funny.

CarlCX posted:Song Yadong is not interested in helping anyone build poo poo. Since entering the UFC back in 2017 Song's made it clear he wants to be the best in the world, and his punching power, volume, wrestling and simply being tough as poo poo have almost gotten him there repeatedly. He went six fights without a loss in his first run at the top, but the eternally hot-and-cold Kyler Phillips halted his momentum. I've long held a half formulated opinion that Song has really poor fight IQ. That kind of airheadedness might very well lend itself to being a good fit at TAM, but he's never made great adjustments when faced with problems. Either he just manages to eke things out with physicality, or he gets safely shut out. He's even decent at being coached mid-fight, but just doesn't seem to have the smarts to radically reapproach an uphill battle. Yan stands a good chance at winning by edging out each exchange.

CarlCX posted:It was fun while it lasted and he still earned ten times as much from one fight than he would've gotten from the UFC, so he wins, but still disappointing. I'm sure he's got one more big money fight if he wants it. And unfortunately I suspect his ego will push him to risk the extra damage for another few million.

Halfway into it, I was thinking, ok, I guess he's looking for redemption after getting taken down by Khabib. But by the end, I realized he just has a Crocop level fondness for it as part of his takedown defense game.

OSP stands out to me as the most successful fighter with 0 gas. He got a lot done with barely daring to move before he was putting his hands on his knees. Only other fighter that comes to mind is Shane Carwin. Trillhouse posted:jesus, that was way worse than I expected. It was better that what I expected? Mostly cuz he gave a much less inflated view of himself as an actor than as a fighter, despite all the coke tics.

Shumagorath posted:This file turns 24 this summer and I stuffed it into modern codecs for Mark and all of you: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...405ff31889ebb2& Lmao, Royce died on his way back to his home barra. The technique is so much better these days but really the rhythm and chaos of an MMA fight hasn't changed much in decades.

I’m still reeling from how much of a loving wake call it is to have Platinum Mike telling you to maybe take care of yourself.

CarlCX posted:Also, rare Bellator victory: Hunh, was Bellator streaming on Paramount+? I'm seeing that it was just replays posted the next day? Streaming live on Max would be a big boost. It's 50% bigger than Paramount+ in terms of subscribers, but live events are a lot more relevant to Max/Discovery is trying to pivot to.

https://news.yahoo.com/entertainment/ronda-rousey-reveals-years-concerning-200803773.html Without watching that interview, I can't help but think this is moderately sour grapes. I don't doubt that Ronda had concussions that made her overall development and mental health a lot more difficult. I just don't think it jibes with accepting a heavier striking gameplan in her last few fights.

COPE 27 posted:Getting hit in the head really hard can gently caress you up in all sorts of ways and I'm inclined to believe someone when they say that. Just because someone got outclassed in a fight doesn't mean their struggles aren't real. My chief complaint is not that she is overstating how much concussions affected her career length or health. It’s that she consciously agreed to keep trying with staying on the outside and using terrible boxing in the face of those concussions. BlindSite posted:She made a bunch of mistakes on her own and eventually you have to take responsibility for sure but still. Sure, she was far more susceptible to listening to Edmond that the average person. Really sad how much she didn’t listen to her mom over it.

COPE 27 posted:Dustin said he was suicidal after his last loss and I don't remember a lot of criticism of him for trying to keep fighting. I did criticize Rousey then and now for being so dogged about the boxing being her approach. quote:I don't think it's realistic to expect people to be rational decision makers.

The beauty of the trajectory of MMA is that each day, we grow closer to that fight being a possibility, up until one of them dies.

Watching and enjoying Dong-hyun Kim in season 2 of Physical 100. The other contestants revere him. In short, cannot loving wait for Zombie to show up on this. As far as I'm concerned, that's in their back pocket as long as they want to make another season.
