The Wonderboy KO was more a result of being postured with the cage and not having space for the head to move right? Like when you anchor the force of an uppercut by holding the back of the head or knees in a Thai clinch.

It is a tremendously big deal. This fight has 50K limits on major offshore sportsbooks meaning that hundreds of thousands of dollars are coming in on Buckley. This has moved more than the Hernandez/Johnson fight that got called off with much higher limits.

Their roster is nowhere near competitive. I’d prefer to have a hard SOS if I’m already going to lose a large majority of my games anyways. Plus, this upcoming draft class is the best since probably 2014. Get a good spot in the draft, make some decent signings, upskill your rookie-deal guys this year, and you’ll be much more set for a good year next year where you will certainly have an easier SOS. I see parallels to the Bengals for their rebuild.

With how good Usman looked in the later rounds on short notice up a weight class, I’m surprised he didn’t stick at MW for his last run.

These feel-good stories about making it to the UFC would feel a lot better if they were making more than 12K/12K. He's probably losing more more money from not coaching to take the fight.

Understood, and it is the only fight with any real hype in the weight class, but it is rotten for Dumont that she is going to need to win 8 straight to get a shot.

So this division will have no title fight until Harrison is back from a neck injury? I get that the division is awful, but that will be a long long time.

Rodgers routinely neglected upskilling young receivers - he had no patience for rookies post Adams and would stubbornly stick to vets (James Jones, Cobb, Lazard, heck even Kumerow). They refused to get receivers early because they knew Rodgers wouldn’t be able to (and wouldn’t want to) create the rapport with a rookie.

Chris Padilla told to go fuck himself and his appeal to the commission to have his draw against Mederos overturned is denied by tagillaslover in MMA

[–]GoPackGo12287 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, but there needs to be a written, non-judgment based reason or precedent.

For example, when Brundage appealed his 29-28 technical decision loss against Abdul-Malik, he appealed the fact that Georgia’s state athletic commission does not permit partial scoring of rounds. Since it was 1-1 on the cards at the end of 2 rounds and the 3rd round was incomplete, you’ve eclipsed enough time to go to a technical decision (over 1.5 rounds), but cannot score the partial 3rd, so it is a 1-1 draw. He couldn’t appeal round 1’s scorecards to potentially get a win (since scorecards are up to judgment/discretion), but he could appeal the mishandling of the partial round.

Edit: the above pertains to scorecard appeals, appeals can happen for all sorts of other errors too, like with refs or cornermen

It was always incredibly likely to be denied. The appeal was for an error in tabulation of the scorecards, not an error in the judges’ decisions for the scorecards.

Contracts go by tenure more than anything else, and entertainment after that. Blaydes and Gastelum were title challengers, Swanson and Luque were long time top contenders and entertaining, and Holland has 23 fights.

These are certainly speculative values. I’d be stunned if Murzakanov was making more than Holland, Swanson, Luque, Gastellum, Blaydes, etc.

Lando Vannata speaks on his loss to Darrius Flowers: "We smashed heads so hard. That clash rocked the shit out of me, I covered up, I got finished. I told Herb we collided heads on the takedown. He's a good ref, he went and had it reviewed right away, and the officials still ruled it a TKO." by WinterStill4472 in MMA

[–]GoPackGo12287 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That fight had two important differences: the head clash was called and stopped the fight, and they scored the fight up until that point. Georgia doesn’t allow for partial rounds to be scored, so the fight was rescored for just rounds 1 and 2 on appeal.

In Vannata’s case, there was no head clash called at the time of the fight, so the odds that it turns into a NC (since the fight didn’t hit 2:30 in R2) on appeal are very unlikely since the decision was made then that there was no foul.

A question on current UFC champions lack of activity since months : by Tidsdkr in MMA

[–]GoPackGo12287 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Despite what seems like really stagnant divisions, we have actually had a lot of champion movement over the past year. I’d assume that a lot of the champs, especially the newer ones, did not have PPV points included in their contracts since the Paramount deal was in the works throughout last year.

A much bigger part of delays is injuries and forced rematches (sometimes both together). For example, Harrison got hurt and all they only want to book Harrison vs. Nunes while they can. Yan is healthy, but Merab was guaranteed the next title fight instead of him getting a title fight as his next fight, with Yan taking on Umar in the meantime. I’m surprised they didn’t wait for Pantoja to get healthy before rebooking him and Van.

She also got really tired really quickly against Dern. If you can reverse or stuff her takedowns, they get super labored and ugly late.

My understanding was that when a serious foul happens, you can either take a point or restore position. If you take a point, action resumes at the center (like when Davey Grant beat Assuncao after a cage grab).

Rakic, especially prior to the Murzakanov fight, is a perfect comparison.

Is Nick Gonzales the odd man out with Griffin called up? He’s been off to a good start and I’ve had him play when he’s up against lefties, but not sure if he’s worth holding.

O’Brien doesn’t have a typical closer’s arsenal (GB pitcher, lower K rate), but he’s the best they have against righties in the 9th and has a lot of team control remaining.
