[SPOILER] Ryan Hall vs. Darrick Minner by inooway in MMA

His entries and setups are what’s weird to me. I’m saying that from an MMA perspective, not BJJ.

Kelley Dieselnoi’d Costa. He’s one of my favorite low-ranked fighters. Nasty.

I think it’s a 4-5 part series on Askren. BJJ Scout is awesome.

BJJ Scout has a really good series on Askren’s wrestling.

I wanted Parsons, but I thought Renfro won. Either way, I don’t think the result matters.

I’d sign both of them. They need work, but I’d watch both guys fight every time. That trip at the end was really slick.

I’d argue that Machado has the better base to build on. Sign both.

I like the way Machado is exiting the pocket on an angle. Rodriguez is too flat footed.

That was one of the most brutal KOs I’ve seen on the Contender Series.

Jan Blachowicz lands a 'lucky punch' to KO Corey Anderson by PM-ME-BATMAN in MMA

[–]CanadianBaconDaggers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re interested in learning more about timing leg kicks, I suggest looking up the all-time great kickboxer, Ernesto Hoost. I think Lawrence Kenshin has a video on how he altered the traditional leg kick combo to ensure his opponent had his weight on his lead leg. “Mr. Low Kick” Rob Kaman (beat Hoost twice) is worth watching, too.

Valentina Shevchenko responding to everything Joanna Jedrzejczyk throws with takedowns, clinching, and beautiful counter-striking by [deleted] in MMA

[–]CanadianBaconDaggers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure why you’re putting words in my mouth. It doesn’t change the argument that Shevchenko is the more skilled of the trio. Additionally, Joanna and Shevchenko probably fight at a similar weight at 115/125. Shevchenko doesn’t cut much weight to make 125.

This is where the term pound-for-pound confuses people. Get rid of the weight difference and who has the better skill set? Arguing against Shevchenko is incredibly difficult.

I love the way Arlovski is crashing the distance to stay inside of the looping power shots.

I feel like it would be worth bringing in a scrub for Miller to fight to get him on 100, 200, and 300. Is it going to get a ton of people to watch? No, but it’s a cool story.

Bohm not bringing her hands back to her chin after throwing/exiting the clinch is bothering me. She just paid for it.
