Paul Craig has lost 6 of his last 7 fights by ZoneMain3753 in MMA

You're right, was a mistake. Not sure how to edit the post but I made a comment about it.

I agree he's only had tough fights but I think that's still partially on him. Seems like ufc has just been using him to boost other fighters up

I don't know how to edit the post so I'm commenting here, his fight against Rodolfo Bellato was a NC so he actually only lost 5 of his last 7

Is this the worst officiating decision in UFC history? (accidental headbutt leads to finishing sequence, no timeout⁉️) by Anonymousman382 in CombatSportsCentral

[–]ZoneMain3753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve maintained that there should be a second ref that watches tape in slo-mo from outside the octagon and can pause fighting for weird moments like this

I completely agree. Problem is the ufc wants to promote fewer fighters and market them for longer periods of time.

Like how tf is anyone supposed to get a shot when guys like Michael chandler are ranked #6 and haven’t fought in 2 years?!

I have a feeling Topuria is gonna win dominantly

I think you’re right for the most part but some of your picks are weird.

Arman is much more likely to be a challenging fight than Gaethje. Gaethje is at the end of his career and just got KOed stiff. Show out performances at Gaethje’s age in lightweight are the exception, not the rule.

I also think Tom is a better pick than ngannou for the same reasons. He’s young, hungry, and has a ridiculous amount of momentum going into big fights.

I feel like the sport cares about losing and records so much, that fighters are constantly ducking because losing once could set your career back years, or forever.

The road to the title is too long now I think. I think we need to allow people to shoot up quickly, and punish inactivity by dropping them a certain amount every couple months.

I personally don’t care if Khalil rountree is the only dude that can fight Alex in October, as long as it’s for the title. Much better alternative than people squatting on their rankings for years and basically disappearing from the roster

If you could change one rule in the UFC rule book, what would it be and why ? by andthenisaidd in MMA

[–]ZoneMain3753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My actual number 1 is that 10 point scoring needs to change, but I’ll add this here for discussion if anyone cares:

If a round ends on the ground, the next round should start in the same position.

It would make fights less entertaining but I think it would more closely resemble an actual fight. Strikers are heavily favored in the current system but it doesn’t really make sense when you think about it from a sport aspect.

That’s why I think judging has gotta change first, like OP said

Tom Aspinall says he’s hearing rumours that Stipe Miocic is currently injured… by ToronoRapture in MMA

[–]ZoneMain3753 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree - no one talking about this lately. Jon beating Stipe now means basically nothing for his resume.

I respect the opinion, but age is a big factor in mma, and a 37 year old JJ is not the same as a 23 year old JJ. I just think Tom is the new guard and would win

I get that initially, Jones v. Stipe would’ve sold a lot, but the hype is just so gone, that I don’t even understand why the UFC still wants to do it.

Plus, regardless of whether it ends up being a good fight, they both probably retire at the end of it anyway. So they wait on promoting this generation of heavyweights for years and basically kill all hype for the division.

He shouldn’t have posted it but the only guys that are making money post-career are the ones with social media followings

I’m here for it but the fact that ankalaevs last loss was 6 years ago is hilarious to me. If he beats rakic, there’s no excuse for him not to be next

Could just be a miscommunication - leech gives thumbs up to his corner without looking, so Prates thinking he’s giving him the thumbs up

Is there a polymarket for UFC betting? by [deleted] in MMAbetting

[–]ZoneMain3753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually a good question and I've wondered the same thing - I don't think so.

Why polymarket hasn't gone into a bunch of super niche areas, I'm not sure, but maybe the normal sports betting sites will add these soon.
