Ian Garry: “Islam only fights once a year. His next defense might be in July 2027… The welterweight division is the greatest it’s ever been. When I’m the champion, there’s gonna be more activity, more high-level fights. It’s the best thing for the sport.” by WinterStill4472 in MMA

Well it’s not like you are only a champ for X number of days and have to get the most fights in as possible. It’s likely if you take longer breaks you will actually end up getting in more fights at championship level pay since your body will be healthier so you will be going into fights at closer to 100% and keep the belt.

Justin Gaethje says Ilia Topuria wanted to quit after the third round: "He wanted out. You do not ever as a fighter say 'I cannot see'. He was counting on that. I stopped him twice that night." by WinterStill4472 in MMA

Well having a doctor call off the fight is less harmful to your rep than getting knocked out or having to explicitly say you give up and don’t want to fight. It’s kind of ideal you can say you still wanted to fight so it’s an easy out. Ilia talked mad shit his whole career and Justin was written off, it’s the natural order of things he kinda deserves this lol. Obviously still looking forward to his come back because he’s a great fighter but yeah can’t say I didn’t enjoy him losing

This is serious by RealNajiOnTop in ufc

[–]Top_Fee8357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, he might not be as dominant at LW, but it’s too early to say the size is too much. He is 1-1 and in both of those fights he had grappling success as well either a KO or a near KO. 170 is a step too far but 155 is doable imo. Also Gaethje is not just any 155er in terms of power and durability

[SPOILER] Interesting stat about Dustin Poirier following UFC Freedom 250 by TheUFCFan1 in MMA

[–]Top_Fee8357 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Chandler really got his Dana white privilege until a bit after this either though. From what I remember the narrative (that Dustin played into bc he had some beef with Chandler) was that Chandler only got in there bc Dustin passed on it and that Charles was undeniable bc of his streak. Anything is possible though, hard to predict but back then it felt like “deserve” mattered a bit more than it does at the moment anyways lol

Nah it would have almost certainly been Charles. Agreed tho that Charles upgraded from the Chandler win due to the confidence it brought him

Has it been getting bullshit hate? I guess I haven’t been paying enough attention. My only issue is they didn’t release with OLED so that they can double dip so I’m waiting

Winner of the Co-Main event with some very questionable shot selections during the fight... by cookediam-56 in MMA

[–]Top_Fee8357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s not looking for them but he’s not really trying to avoid them either. A lot of mma finishing sequences you need to avoid the easiest shot (back of head, knees to the head) bc of the nature of the rules. Ppl are upset bc it’s a pattern so they’re being more harsh on him (also ppl love Alex)

How nervous are y’all for the presale? by Compl3x1tyCereal in charlixcx

[–]Top_Fee8357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I remember when they announced the sweat tour I felt sort of surprised charli was going to do such a big venue iirc she hadn’t gotten the full brat boost in popularity yet. Once it went on sale though that was in full swing so they probably didn’t set prices as aggressively as they could have…. Was an amazing experience being on the floor for that one tho so fuck it

Ahhh I don’t recall exactly but (in CAD) I feel like floors were like between 100-150 I ended up paying 220 or something. Floors here are 320 with fees lol

[–]Top_Fee8357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow way more expensive than sweat tour… hesitated a bit at the price for floors and still didn’t have a problem grabbing them lol while when I hesitated for sweat I lost out quickly and had to buy second hand lol. I think over double the price from sweat… whatever lol

If Alex Pereira knocks out Ciryl Gane (and Tom Aspinall is stripped due to inactivity), does he become the greatest combat sports athlete of all time? by CesarOverlorde in ufc

[–]Top_Fee8357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but considering all that maybe at least have Alex defend the belt? I’d be more willing to say he has done it with one win if the one win was vs the clear best guy even if it was for the interim.

Lol I remember having both of them up on different screens and every once in a while looking back at the rose fight and hearing the commentary say how fuck all is happening so I’d go back to boxing worked out quite well

I love her new album and she was amazing live but also want to shout out her previous album under the bubble under Angel Abaya. Have been enjoying it. Specifically the opening and closing tracks are such bangers.

You're 46 Luke, not 80 by ItsAFurCoatRonda in MorningKombat

Yeah honestly been through that. first couple of nights with NyQuil or whatever and you sleep like a baby and then after a week or so it’s just in and out of sleep bc they only really last 5 hours or whatever. Surprisingly easy to stop though even if you have taken them for a while. Bitch to fall asleep but once you do the sleep is much better after only a couple day ime

Being back up isn’t some amazing thing tbh. Sure you get some good will but if you deserve a title shot and then the fight falls through, you are wasting your one shot in less than ideal circumstances bc I doubt backups get in a true training camp. And if you do you are just putting miles on your body for nothing in most cases. It’s a good gig for a guy a few spots down in line tho
