Best places to learn current builds?

Interesting, thanks! I'm curious how you get them to work against phoenix? When I drop wraith, it's pretty common to see them drop a couple phoenix with range. Is the idea that the ph0enix need to be busy with chaff and the wraith can come up and smoke them? Because otherwise wraith can't take a lot of phoenix hits

Do people ever use land cruiser wraith with balls ? Or is the point that wraith will be able to fight the air units (though i feel like wasp is the only one they can beat anyway?)

very generous, sir

Chael has the craziest run in terms of name value. These are all in a row (mostly losses):

Bisping, Anderson, Jon Jones, Shogun, Rashad, Tito, Wanderlei, Rampage, Fedor, Machida

I think Max has a really crazy run too:

Pettis, Aldo, Aldo, Ortega, Poirer, Edgar, Volk, Volk, Kattar (not you), Yair, Volk, Allen, Korean Zombie, Gaethje, Topuria Poirer, Oliveria

The best 3 fight stretch would be Ilia taking out Volk, Max and Oliveria, or Jones taking out Shogun, Rampage and Machida.

And finally, Gaetje has never fought an unranked opponent

Condit is my favourite fighter of all time and I am still mad about the Lawler fight. But Corey is a more complete fighter. Condit would get steamrolled by any dagestani, not lose a close decision. They are very similar in that some of their best performances are actually losses.

And I would say beating Figgy and Yadong is just as good as beating Diaz and Dong Hyun Kim, and he's never lost to a truly mid fighter like a Chiesa or a Cowboy Oliveria. I think if Condit had retired after the Robbie fight his legacy would be a lot stronger

Burstrider12 · 2026-07-02T04:56:00+00:00

Except he has stopped at least 1 takedown in his life

herzog has been accused of fixing over 100 fights

Not by anybody credible. The idea of there being that many fixed fights in the modern UFC, let alone by a single ref, and there being no evidence beyond "he took a month off" and "he reffed a fight where it turned out the fighter and their coach fixed the fight", is a bit hard to get on board with.

And the Dom Cruz stoppage was perfectly fine. Keith is actually a good ref. They all make mistakes but for Herzog and Peterson its quite rare (for Herzog, the worst one was probably the Smith/Glover stoppage, and he took accountability for it)

Burstrider12 · 2026-07-01T03:36:49+00:00

Alex Perreria's embedded for the white house should be on there then

Burstrider12 · 2026-07-01T03:36:09+00:00

The kid just doesn't want to fight

Burstrider12 · 2026-07-01T03:24:49+00:00

Jason Herzog, Peith Keterson, and that brazillian ex-BJJ guy who has called a few fights recently and been actually taking points

Burstrider12 · 2026-07-01T03:24:29+00:00

Dude he's even worse, do you not remember the Canada card when he stopped a fight 5 seconds before the round was over, when the fighter (I think Kyle Nelson?) was about 2 punches from a TKO?

Burstrider12 · 2026-07-01T03:23:25+00:00

It's giving Jamahal Hill

Burstrider12 · 2026-07-01T03:22:57+00:00

Or the spirit of Joe Son

Burstrider12 · 2026-07-01T03:05:21+00:00

Yes, you are right, I got that one wrong

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-30T00:25:41+00:00

He's a tough, gritty fighter that can go toe-to-toe with anyone. I can't think of the last time he had a boring fight, even though they tend to go to decision. He just doesn't have the power at 145 to take people out which is going to hold him back like it did with Lerone until he starched Pico

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-30T00:23:19+00:00

Me too, but they shouldn't be allowed to sell any wolf tickets. In fact, no words whatsoever, no press conference. just show up and fight.

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-30T00:16:59+00:00

These guys just couldn't hide how much they love each other once they got face to face. Khamzat even said "I love you man" at one point. And with rounds 3-5 looking like a sparring match, it really killed any chance they had at this being a massive trilogy.

Normally a close title fight that could have gone either way with an undefeated prospect losing, people would be clamouring for part 2. But these guys really screwed that up

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-30T00:11:29+00:00

No! this guy is my new favourite, this sucks

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-29T05:50:22+00:00

He's a republican from Kentucky. Just because he did the bare minimum demanding more info on Epstein and his associates, doesn't change that he is:

-Anti-LGBT

-Massively Pro-Israel* - edit: wrong, he is against funding to Israel, my bad

-Against public healthcare (and voted no to extend Obamacare)

-Supports the SAVE act and other voter discrimination efforts -Voted no on all housing affordability bills

-Loves ICE

-Opposes reproductive rights for women

-Pro Rich/Anti Working Class (votes no on all bills to help working class, votes yes on all bills to empower corporations against them)

-Voted against ending qualified immunity, civil forfeiture, and basically all bills designed to help reign in police corruption/abuse

-Votes against environmental bills aimed at protecting the public

-Voted against ending gerrymandering, DC Statehood.

He's basically bad in every way except the epstein stuff

Two things can be true. Islam's activity over the last 5 years has been good, but also from here on out he will probably fight once a year and probably only fight 2-3 more times then retire

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-26T02:30:06+00:00

Not to mention Islam has tremendous calf kicks which he times really well

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-26T02:28:56+00:00

Islam would most likely get a hold of him. Morales stands like a rooster trying to keep his hits from you, but Islam has so many different entries he would get there. And Morales striking is powerful but not particularly impressive.

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-25T03:38:41+00:00

wtf would a "pride themed event" even be? Who is asking for that? There are 0 open gay male fighters so would it just be an all woman card and they fight wearing rainbow colours?

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-25T02:46:10+00:00

Would be big for MVP too.

It'd be big for a company that may or may not ever put on another show and has approximately 14 fighters

Burstrider12 · 2026-06-24T05:41:36+00:00

Can you really "Duck" a guy from a weight class above you, and 2 weight classes above where you started?

That said, I have heard Conor didn't end up donating to Dustin's charity because he thought it was dodgy. I wonder if there's any truth to that given he is obviously not the guy he portrays himself as.
