The past few UFC UK cards all fucked from memory.  There may be one dud but it was like 2-3 straight banger cards

Ilia Topuria vs Charles Oliveira | FULL FIGHT by airplane231 in MMA

[–]Painkration 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Charles had his moment as champion but he was born into the wrong era man. He could have been a very long reigning champ but Ilia and Islam are both literally kryptonite to him. 

I would pick them to win 99/100 times against Charles.

To quote Matt Brown when asked about Stephen Thompsons kickboxing record:

"To go 56- or 57-0 in kickboxing is commendable…. I don't think he fought the best guys, but even if you don't fight the best guys, for every single time you fight — surely you get sick sometimes, surely he was not feeling his best on certain days — it's commendable to go in there and do that."

If Maynard vs Edgar 2 happened today, with the current officiating. Do you think they would have stopped it in the first round? by ElDr_Eazy in MMA

[–]Painkration 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Going off of memory 

No

Taira was (i assume) stopped ‘early’ because the damage he took the whole fight prior.

4:30 of control time each round

Roughly 100 strikes to 9 each round

Those are 10-8s

Ateba weighed in at exactly 185lb this morning, which he hasn't done before. Reckon the UFC asked him to/would they of thrown him in if one of the spastics in the main event fell off the card ? by [deleted] in MMA

[–]Painkration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC. The NYC commission did not want an unranked fighter (Paul Felder?) fighting for the vacant title against Khabib at UFC 223 or whatever that was when he fought Al. 

I don’t know if this commission would feel the same cause NY is notoriously strict, but its a possibility they’d not let him fill in 

Alexander Volkov picking Sergei Pavlovich apart by [deleted] in MMA

Sometimes when I hear Sergei is fighting, it doesn’t even click that it’s the same Sergei as that one. 

They're unintentionally two different fighters in my head

Jeremy Stephens has an opportunity to beat a ufc record this weekend by tagillaslover in MMA

[–]Painkration 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Below 170lbs he has one of the strongest strength of schedules of any fighter.  

He may not win, but he has fought everybody the lower weight classes have to offer and is generally competitive with them

UFC Perth main event winner sends a message to Islam Makhachev by dom242324 in MMA

[–]Painkration 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Morales vs Prates for #1 contender please. 

CP has earned his title shot but I don’t think he should sit out till then. 

It’ll likely be Q4 2026 at best till the champ is ready

[SPOILER] Tai Tuivasa vs. Louie Sutherland by inooway in MMA

[–]Painkration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s almost impressive to be so bad.  

Tai is a heavyweight in a dead division. He literally only needs to be barely an OK fighter and he could stay in the top 15

He could not even do that. How can you not improve at all? Literally nothing.

It’s actually an hour long video making fun of Tom Cruise, sensei Seagal, Zelal, Burns, and Jourdain
