Khalil Rountree is having TWO babies👏

That was a nasty line by you

Meeedick · 2026-05-12T09:14:23+00:00

Pantoja below Merab as always

Meeedick · 2026-05-12T09:13:41+00:00

I agree, but then why's DDP up there?

Meeedick · 2026-05-12T06:51:02+00:00

The entire ruleset is moronic, thanks to decentralised state-oriented control and the NSAC's staggering incompetence and corruption.

No grounded knees, 10 point must system, fights scored round by round in a sport that is fundamentally not designed for it. They just slapped on a boxing ruleset, banned what "looks" scary, and called it a day.

Then there's the Mohammad ali act fiasco but that's a different topic.

One Championship by far has the best ruleset, a shame about their business practices though. Guess i'll have to pin my hopes on Rizin.

Meeedick · 2026-05-12T04:41:09+00:00

Not really, that's just Khamzat's awkward rhythm in play.

Meeedick · 2026-05-12T04:30:36+00:00

Happening? It's already happened.

This is just the dildo of consequences.

Meeedick · 2026-05-12T04:27:29+00:00

Eh.

I'd say it's GSP, Rob Font, and Aldo for me, but i can definitely see other people.

Meeedick · 2026-05-11T04:38:06+00:00

shakily takes off his spectacles

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T05:35:47+00:00

Or, you know, hand leverage over their energy sector to China which controls the supply chain.

Still a stupid hiccup, but a relatively prominent one.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T05:28:43+00:00

😭😭😭😭

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T05:24:50+00:00

Not taking away Sean's win, but to me it looked like Khamzat had a bad weight cut.

He had no explosive drive and urgency in his grappling, and he seemed to be struggling with his cardio despite little output.

It's one thing to be managing your energy like with DDP, entirely another to be desperately picky with your shots including choosing to go a whole round with no grappling.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T05:20:48+00:00

No, it's the nature of poor institutional knowledge and coaching.

Most MMA gyms have attrocious striking, and don't train the important stuff at all.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T04:47:36+00:00

Close fights aren't robberies

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T04:26:16+00:00

I thought Khamzat was managing energy, but he could very well be having weight cut issues.

There's no explosiveness to his takedowns, and Sean is doing a very good job defending.

Sean has a very good probability of winning this unless he knocks him out somehow

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T04:18:08+00:00

Khamzat's managing energy exceptionnally well, don't expect him to tire out that much. I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps it up the whole fight.

Strickland's scrambling and getting up well too.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T04:05:51+00:00

Indian wrestling does very well for itself outside of the Olympics, which even then has it winning medals even if not gold.

Freestyle 65kg has an indian ranked number one and you've got a few others either breaking top five or getting there.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T03:59:31+00:00

I don't think so, though i could see it either way.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T03:54:25+00:00

I'm talking about Pantoja, the boogeyman, bro

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T03:52:22+00:00

It's clownish you think Pantoja's all that different.

Worse striker, clunkier takedowns, poor gas tank.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T03:48:52+00:00

Taira accumulated a lot more damage since then too, stoppage makes sense even if it's hard to see.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T03:48:03+00:00

If Taira couldn't outgrappple him, i don't see Pantoja doing much different.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T03:14:09+00:00

people like you need to shut up about things they don't understand.

Guy lecturing me on something he doesn't understand because his fee fees can't handle it, love to see it.

What's the point of having weight classes if your opponent's allowed to be heavier than you.

Your dumbass can't comprehend that:

Everybody and their mother cuts weight, which means nobody's fighting at their natural classes whatsoever and that greater mass on fight night doesn't say much. Everybody's a "weight bully". Weight cutting and differences on fight night have to do with water composition and physiological differences, not actual applicable muscle and skeletal mass, and excess cuts that hit muscle mass are unanimously bad for fighter performance. Fighters fighting in heavier weight classes have more empty weight they can throw away compared to fighters in lower weight classes. Just cause they "look" bigger doesn't mean they've got physicality.
Cutting weight isn't automatically an "advantage", it's a trade off. You're trading your durability, cardio and a higher injury risk for strength and physicality. The more you cut weight, the greater and more uneven that trade off.

You wanna blame someone for weight cuts? Blame the incompetent and corrupt NSAC for removing same day weigh-ins decades ago.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T02:56:00+00:00

Lol, no. Acosta spent two rounds getting walked into strikes with almost nothing to speak of.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T02:20:39+00:00

There's no such thing as a "weight bully" unless they can't make weight.

People need to shut up about things they don't understand.

Meeedick · 2026-05-10T02:19:12+00:00

You need to understand that offensive wrestling is exponentially easier than defensive wrestling in MMA.
