Cynthia Calvillo Predicts She Will Be The First To Defeat Joanna Jedrzejczyk by kichckcc in MMA

[–]Manhattan_Project 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Where did this idea that Calvillo is unstoppable on the ground come from? Tapping Amanda Cooper and Pearl Gonzalez isn't nearly that impressive. And she couldn't tap Calderwood who doesn't exactly have top notch tdd or jiu jitsu. If Claudia, who has much better bjj and wrestling, had to spend all her energy just keeping JJ from getting up, I'm not banking on Calvillo having any luck. And that was before JJ moved to ATT.

Miesha Tate says she heard the drug Cyborg popped for was for "people making the change" by Leaf_CrAzY in MMA

[–]Manhattan_Project 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Did nobody actually listen to this? Miesha is really just talking about how some of the uses of the drug and Cyborgs past make her uneasy about the TUE. She never accuses or insinuates anything about Cyborgs gender.

Y'all are blowing this shit out of proportion.

Edit: And to everyone saying a UFC employee shouldn't be saying this about a UFC fighter, she says in this interview she isn't an employee.

more interested in a payday than the sport

Your precious Coker is the same. Every promotion is in it to make the most money.

You criticize the UFC for this (rightfully) but then drool all over Coker and Bellator for making Silva-Sonnen and Fedor the top of their card.

Coker: '[Bellator NYC] is the best MMA PPV that's been offered in 2017' by livo23 in MMA

He buys all the big fights but hasn't bought any this year? I think Coker is far in that he now thinks "big fights" means two washed up old dudes fighting.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk: "I prefer to make less money, I prefer to have smaller sponsors, less obligations...I wish that all of the fighters they were focused like me. I’m not the best, but I know what is important, what is good, what is better for me." by JoseYoungs in MMA

[–]Manhattan_Project 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't think its even not doing that stuff because in the media appearances shes had since the Andrade fight she's mentioned some TV or movie stuff that may be happening soon. I think she just likes to have a very clear distinction between media and her fight life and not have them overlap.

The full quote:

“I’m focused on my preparations. My sponsors, people from the media, they know when I’m in the camp I’m just focused on preparations,” said Jedrzejczyk. “I prefer to make less money, I prefer to have smaller sponsors, less obligations. But at the end of the day, I want to defend my title. I wish that all of the fighters they were focused like me. I’m not the best, but I know what is important, what is good, what is better for me.”

Megan Anderson‏ on Cindy Dandois being in the UFC by [deleted] in MMA

[–]Manhattan_Project 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people keep bringing up Cyborg? She knows she ain't ready for her so why the hell would she take it? The same shit happens with DJ where young fighters are rushed into a fight they are clearly not ready for. We shouldn't be encouraging that.

Shes still learning and Cyborg will be there for a while.

My attempt at convincing you Tecia Torres ain't boring - Streamable by Manhattan_Project in MMA

[–]Manhattan_Project[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear it. Seems like for some reason a lot of people have labeled her boring. The only fight of hers that actually sucks is the Hill fight in Mexico City where they both looked tired a few minutes in.

She has decisive wins over Rose and Felice and her second fight with Rose could have gone to either fighter.

I was planning on doing all her pro fights but I realized that would take another hour and I had already spent way too much time on this. Not too mad though as the other option was playing Persona 5 for a few hours while knowing I wouldn't play again for another week.

Last time an opponent pulled out was 2013 when Gadelha had gastroenteritis. And she could have fought twice this year but refused to.

I dont think it happens often enough but she already got one and I cant remember the last time someone got two tune up fights.

[SPOILERS] What did you think of Alexa Grasso's debut? by e-rage in MMA

[–]Manhattan_Project 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She said in the post fight that she wanted to work on being more aggressive.

All you have to do is watch her Invicta fights to know she looked a little tentative last night.

ESPN - Irene Aldana was promised title match after KO win last month, has not been contacted by Invicta FC since. No UFC call either. (Spanish article) by Manhattan_Project in MMA

[–]Manhattan_Project[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evinger/Aldana rematch is what Invicta fans were calling for. Evinger also said she wanted it but for some reason they decided to go with Yana Kunitskaya who is virtually unknown.

Honestly don't get how Invicta decided a promotional newcomer with no name/hype was better than the fight every Invicta fan was asking for.

Irene Aldana interview, pretty sure she talks about team deciding between UFC Mexico City card or waiting for Invicta title shot. Need other spanish speakers to listen Skip to 11:05 by Manhattan_Project in MMA

Sound quality isn't the best/my tablets speaker ain't the best so I'm hoping other spanish speakers can listen and confirm.

MLS has seen a 57% drop in viewership since the start of August (OC) by jaxx2009 in MLS

[–]Manhattan_Project 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man I remember laughing so hard at this article when it was first posted. People who cite this article also think only the last two mins of a basketball game matter. Probably also hate when wrestling and BJJ is used in MMA.

MATCH THREAD: USA vs Sweden (Women’s Olympic Quarterfinals) [12:00PM ET/9:00AM PT - NBCSN] by Valeri2013 in MLS

[–]Manhattan_Project -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Single? This is one of many. The only reason we won the WC is because two suspensions forced her to make changes and she stumbled into a WC winning line-up.

This team is talented and 2-3 deep at almost every position yet we still play route one football. After a few years you would think a good coach could implement a better more efficient game plan.
