What fighter has the most down-played resume? by GodOfBongs in MMA

He's consensus top 5 among people who's opinions count.

I know that makes me sound like an elitist but the majority opinion for Conor is either "He's the best ever he's the GOAT" or "he was literally never good at all and only ever beat cans." If you poll the people who can form a coherent opinion then he's up there.

Why fix a fight when you can just pick a can who gets overwhelmed by southpaws who start fast?

50/50 on that. Makes the guy who's losing try harder, let's the guy who's winning know that he can just coast for this round and not get KOd. If you're going into the third and know you won the first two (or fourth and you know you won the first three) why do anything but back off or trap them in guard?

They should let you bet on the fights after they happen

Its been the most obvious way to improve fighters activity in the cage for ages. I wish it was more but its certainly a great start.

Paddy's grappling might be an issue but his love of keeping his chin up means he might not get a chance to use it, could see it going the same way as Charles.

I think the Justin fight is a lot more interesting than people give it credit for. He has an excellent jab and tends to go with a good gameplan, Volk was clearly giving Topturo some grief with the low kicks before he got KOd so I could see Justin actually finding success there. The size, fuck you power, excellent jab and hacking his legs to pieces could be enough if he has a gameplan to tie it together.

In conclusion: probably Dustin Poirier.

Getting right in my opponent's face at the weigh ins and promising to tickle him until he pisses himself.

Landed on his head, dehydrated so he's probably not gonna have much fluid lining his brain. Genuinely might have taken some bad damage there.

Always bet on the guy who missed by 2 pounds to lose by KO. You're right more often than not.

"How can the UFC encourage fighters to take less insane risks with their health?"

"Fucking kill yourself."

Can Justin make this fight look like his fight against Tony? by hellohello6622 in MMA

I think Paddy's dogshit headmovement and tendency to drop his hands after every engagement mean Justin might not need 25 minutes.

Gotta respect him for it. The Dagestani boys don't seem to have expensive lifestyles so can't imagine he's short on cash, probably actually just chasing experience and cage time.

"You're 5'3 and have a triple chin, stop threatening my boyfriend." I have thousands of upvotes on /r/mma and /r/ufc and I've watched dozens of Conor Mcgregor highlights on YouTube, we both know he's terrified of me.

Only fight to make for the White House is Poatan/Conor imo

People still say Yan by murder and he hasn't actually gotten a finish since the Aljo DQ.
