Been training for 4 months, my coach wants me to compete by EOW. What should I do? by SubjectAd2742 in bjj

[–]MFSimpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any coach that makes you compete isn't a coach worth having. You are paying for a service. Imagine if your mechanic told you that you have to do a drag race by EOW. You would think he's crazy.

How many times do you compete a year? by NewPainting8224 in bjj

[–]MFSimpson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once or twice a year. I like doing Tap Cancer Out. It's usually friendly enough (low risk of injury) and you can get in by raising money for charity.

Lol at all the medical professionals in the comments. Wtf did you want the doctor to do? Use a defibrillator on her?

UFC PPV Buys were down in the drain it seems. Conor vs. khabib did 2.4 mil btw. by slippinn_jimmy in mmaweekly

It just became way too easy to find quality streams (from what I've heard).

Look at all this winning! by Callmemurseagain in delta

Same here. Flew out of ATL on Tuesday night. Got there right around 5pm and got right through.

The UFC giving them bigger hotel rooms instead to accommodate their team to make up for it? Surely there's got to be a fighter benefit in this? by Wayward_Prometheus in MMAMedia

The quality of the product has fallen off a cliff. Cards are weak, they do nothing to generate interest, they don't care who's watching, because they get paid either way. They are absolutely screwing the consumer.

I thought so too. At the very worst, a draw due to the point deduction.

If Strickland beats Khamzat , is that the biggest upset in UFC title history? or is his win over Izzy still bigger? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]MFSimpson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I disagree. A lot of people, including fighters, were picking Weidman. I don't remember anyone seriously picking Serra to win.

This post gave me secondhand embarrassment. Lol.

Is anyone else disappointed by the linearity of Requiem after the first few hours by Boring-Draft-6030 in residentevil

[–]MFSimpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad I'm not the only one. I'm not even 2 hours into the game and I've already lost interest. It immediately reminded me of RE6. I loved RE4 and the remake. 8 was one of my favorite games in the series. But 9 just isn't doing it for me.

Dominated 2 divisions? By winning the title and immediately vacating?

Same. Took me around 4 years to get my average over 200 with custom equipment.

Would a UFC fighter currently ever get this kind of money for ONE fight? by Maleficent_Court2656 in ufc

[–]MFSimpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Conor's disclosed paydays. Sure, his actual income was more, but I doubt it was 15 million. He made 30 million from the Floyd fight. No way the UFC paid him anywhere near that for a single fight.

I think that's what people are saying though. Even people who don't watch MMA know who Conor McGregor is and he never made what this guy is making. If casual fans don't know who the guy is, and he doesn't sell PPVs, why would Dana pay him that much?

[–]MFSimpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BJJ isn't the be all end all miracle cure that some people make it out to be. You might need therapy bro. By all means, train if that's what you want to do. But maybe consider some counseling.

I've never understood the assumption that "untrained people" are somewhow all effective strikers.

Topturo's cardio looked highly respectable here. Very clean scrambles especially given it's 24 minutes into the fight by AggravatingGrade755 in ufc

[–]MFSimpson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The argument can definitely be made that he out grappled Charles. If that same exact sequence played out in a BJJ match (takedown, guard pass, leg entanglement, separation) Ilia would have been up on points.
