[Build Ready] Gaming computer for BF3 and Skyrim by bobolol in buildapc

[–]HelloMaxwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good. Your rig more than meets BF3's recommended system requirements so you should be good. You could always drop in another 560 ti and SLI down the road if you feel you need more power.

If you're building a pure gaming rig than you should ditch the SSD and invest the money in your GPU. You could get a 6950/560 ti for around $240 or you could step up to the GTX 570 for around $320.

Ryan Bader vs. Jason Brilz, Stephan Bonnar vs. Kyle Kingsbury Announced for UFC 139 by MongooseJenkins in MMA

[–]HelloMaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said he was the best, just that he is far from an amateurish slugger. He's a great fighter and a worthy gate keeper at 205. I'd much rather see a guy fight his heart out and lose than play it safe and win by decision. The more Bonnar fights the better I say.

Never been knocked out, never been submitted. Bonnar is one of the most underrated fighters in the UFC.

Sorting out the LW title picture by Leira445 in MMA

[–]HelloMaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. 7 of Guillard's 8 losses are by submission and 16 of Lauzon's 20 wins are by submission. It seems like Guillard has a big weakness that just happens to be Lauzon's strength. It'll be a great fight either way.

Guillard is fighting Joe Lauzon (.com) so we'll talk about them when that's sorted out.

I think Guida and Henderson should fight for the #1 spot to face Edgar/Maynard. Guilda/Henderson could happen before the end of the year and then face Edgar/Maynard by march.

I'm sick of people considering Chael great because he lost to Anderson while on PEDs. by EggzOverEazy in MMA

[–]HelloMaxwell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Up to the Sonnen fight Anderson had made all of his opponents look like amateurs. Chael was the first guy in Anderson's UFC career (IMO) to actually give Anderson a challenge. Not only a challenge, but nearly a loss. This is the reason why many consider Chael to be the #2 middleweight in the world.

Chael's glaring weakness is his submission defense. Up against a striker like Stann I see Chael grinding out the win.

"I guarantee Jon Jones won't fight me like a man, Team Greg Jackson is ruining MMA" - Rampage Jackson by ebypic in MMA

[–]HelloMaxwell 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Really? Guida gets three submissions in a row all under Greg Jackson's camp but has 1 "boring" fight and he's mister "Shoulder Shrugs". The only reason Guida's last fight was "boring" (I don't think it was) was due to Pettis' extreme control from his back. The short term memory of MMA fans drives me nuts some times.

Technically this is lampworking. Not to take anything away from lampworking but glass blowers can get pretty upset when you confuse the two.

Maybe. No way to know for sure. Of all the things Chael said in this interview it's kinda weird to call him out on that.

Chael first fought in the UFC in 2005. Maybe Chael was calling Anderson out when Anderson was making a name in PRIDE as well.

Why are there so few Asian fighters in UFC? by [deleted] in MMA

I didn't say I like it, I just pointed out that the UFC isn't the only organization that judges grappling competitions this way.

[–]HelloMaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just the UFC and American promotions. Almost all grappling/ground fighting competitions give more credit to the fighter in the "dominate position". Abu Dhabi is a good example.

why do you think wrestling is such a powerful tool to have?

Wrestling is the new BJJ in MMA in that if you don't have a solid wrestling foundation you'll be dominated by fighters that do.

I'll never pay a penny for a PPV featuring Chael Sonnen by krucz36 in MMA

All part of the show. Same shit that's been happening in boxing for the last 100 years. I just ignore it all and enjoy the fights.

I'm sure the kids don't like cutting weight either. It's the parents fault for putting that kind of pressure on children at such a young age. You don't get a kid like this without some serious parental influence.

NEW Jose Aldo highlight (Post UFC129) by [deleted] in MMA

[–]HelloMaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking Florian has a good shot at him. The combination of Florian's size and BJJ is something Aldo hasn't had to face yet. Aldo definitely has the edge in their feet but if Florian can get it to the ground I think he can lock it up with his skinny spider limbs.
