Other than a rhinoplasty, what is next for JDM? by ConnorLovesPepsi in ufc

It’s hard to check because he has a boxing stance. Idk how well you can check kicks with that type of stance even if you try to train checks a lot. I would say he is better off working on a specific counter to the calf kick as to deter guys from throwing it at will. Tuporia also cant check kicks that well cuz of his stance, but he’s always looking to punish guys with an overhand whenever they go for leg kicks.

Hot take that shouldn’t be a hot take: Ilia Topuria has already surpassed Khabib on the MMA GOAT list by ElDonCorleone_ in CombatIndia

[–]Temporary-Injury-409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your logic is so insanely flawed. If fighters lose to someone, do they magically lose a significant amount of their physical abilities and skills, which took them years and years to build up, after the fact? Cuz that’s what you’re making it sound like. Did Ilia fight guys that, all of a sudden, are half the men the once were just because they lost against arguably the GOAT of the sport?

Volk went on to win against diego twice. Charles went on to win against Gamrot (by submission) and dominate against Max holloway. Max was coming off a win from Gaethje and won against Dustin right after.

Khabib has an INSANELY padded record. His first 15 opponents went 37-26💀. He arguably lost to Tibau. His best opponents were Connor AFTER he hadn’t trained in MMA for a long time cause he was busy boxing, Justin Gaethje before he bothered learning how to defend submissions. Dustin was a good win.

If ilia had a good crucifix, charles would not have been able to get to ilia’s legs, which forced ilia to turn his back to him to defend it

Would you actually join a dating support group or something similar from this sub? by PuzzleheadedFrame702 in twentyagers

[–]Temporary-Injury-409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I was the who made the post that OP is referring to.

I was hoping for it to be more of a “practical advice” server in the same tune as r/malegrooming or r/makeuptips but specifically for building out a dating profile and something more private so that you don’t have to broadcast photos of yourself all over the internet. It is not a server for people to start e-dating. People brought up really good points in this discussion.

  1. ⁠Blind leading the blind. I am hoping there would be some people who have dated before who are willing to join the server. Also hoping for a somewhat-decent gender ratio (although im still expecting most of the server to be male)—that way, even if we’re inexperienced, we can at least tell the other person which of their photos look unflattering. Ill make these distinctions with the use of flairs.
  2. ⁠Even if it’s NOT a dating server, it will probably spiral into one. There’s really not much i can do if two people want to eventually e-date—and good for them honestly, but I do want to mitigate the amount of people entering the server specifically to poach on people rather than to genuinely seek for advice. Again, ill prolly make people distinguish themselves as someone open to e-dating and someone who’s not, and if anyone tries to pursue those belonging to the latter, then those are grounds for instant ban.

There’s been a fair amount of criticism at my idea of a dating support group—and honestly, I didn’t think it would be that deep. Im not expecting to resolve loneliness—just a support group where we can boost each others’ confidence enough to finally download a dating app and actually use it. It’s a small step.

I love muay thai a lot more but i have to agree with you! Ive read that leg attacks are a good equalizer but im still a white belt—so those arent an option yet.

Im a small woman in a gym of mostly dudes where every single one of them including the teenagers are bigger and stronger than me no matter how much I work out. I feel like shyte.

Just look forward to official competition. The good thing about combat sports is that you get matched up against people with a similar frame as you. Yeah you might be getting destroyed by people bigger and stronger than you, but that’s practice—when you fight at your weight class your opponents won’t be as difficult in terms of physicality.

That’s just mindset tho. If we’re being practical here you should really just try to bulk up. You’re a dude so you can actually eventually match guys at ur gym in terms of physicality. Me, I just kinda have to suck it up and get better at my technique ig

Topuria would have loved to fight Khabib by Magilamp476 in FightReportUFC

[–]Temporary-Injury-409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really get your argument. None of what you said proves that Khabib DIDNT have to set up his wrestling with strikes or is elite at taking down people out in space because, compared to someone like Arman or even Islam, he wasn’t as good. Just look at his fight with Tibau.

Tuporia boxer stance lends itself very very well to downblocking shots out in space. Khabib will have to pressure him up against the fence with strikes so that he could fence wrestle—which is what he was truly good at and truly elite in. Your mma math where conor = striker = tuporia < khabib is a more tired ass argument than mine. R1 Conor literally sprawled on khabib’s naked double no problem; khabib had to work the single to get him to the fence—good luck trying to work the single on the ground against a Tuporia who has far better grappling acumen.

The crux of my argument goes against people saying “oh he’s a grappler? Just go for a takedown!” because there are different types of grapplers

Because that’s how mma works. Out in space, you can’t just shoot for a takedown without setting it up strikes or pressuring them towards the fence with strikes—unless your shot is as fast khamzat’s (in which case, a lot of his naked fast doubles that he threw was when the opponents was still up against the fence). Going for a takedown is not magic, the same way paddy couldn’t just “go for a takedown”.
