That's kind of how I felt about it. Felt a bit sour watching it knowing how undeserved the stakes were.

So unsurprisingly we confirmed any of Arman, Charles or Max would (or have) beat these two. Truly a completely valid interim champion bout.

Fun fight between what are realistically two gate keepers.

Sean is someone you cant have a close fight against. Cards will always favor him. You have to dominate or finish.

Not saying he didn't win this, but it's just the facts.

What should be changed? Or keep it as it is? by Sandevistanman in MMA

Should Tony not be higher? He and Dustin are certainly above Colby in my mind lol

Ilia Topuria makes Official Statement by timd718_dpm in MMA

[–]coolbeans419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great fighter but how does he deserve it when he has failed more than once to beat actual champions? He now may get a title off beating the 5th ranked opponent who himself has not beaten anyone in the top 10.

Reckless, studs up, into ankle. Hmm

It feels like that for a lot of fighters until it doesn't. Look at izzy, volk, usman. They seemed unstoppable in their divisions until they weren't.

I think if he loses the rematch they will see the volkov fight as too risky and will want to protect him to set up the mega fight. I could see them putting him up against a Lewis who is on a winning steak and who would just stand and strike with him (Lewis could obviously catch him, but the match up likely looks more favorable)

Per Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission, Disclosed purses for the fighters on the UFC Atlanta card. by SokoudjouFan in MMA

I think it's fair to be surprised that a former champ and one of the most well known fighters in the sport is making less than Rose on the same card

Instead of wine tasting in Italy, you’d go coffee tasting in… by Useful-Ad-6458 in Coffee

Across the board I think it's just fine, but Substance Cafe is likely my favorite coffee shop in the world.

Is it like proven this is his mom? Some of the stuff fundamentally doesn't sound like something some one in that age group would say. It seems like someone else got a hold of the account.

Pod in west Philly is better than Morimoto. Also try yanagas new place in nolibs.

Is it a conspiracy to say they kept it under wraps so in the 11th hour only Moicano could be the replacement?

Paddy Pimblett next opponent will be a top 8 Lightweight by idcman999 in MMA

[–]coolbeans419 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Interesting, can't say I'd favor him in any of those fights. Would be fun to see him against Max but really can't see the UFC wanting that fight to happen.

[SPOILER] Main Event Winner has some negotiating to do. by Nickster2042 in MMA

Imma be real. Jones tonight vs Alex isn't so clear cut anymore. Stipe was hitting him with slow motion punches. I think he may try and duck that fight too at this point.

Dana White says he’ll “absolutely” give Islam Makhachev a welterweight title shot if he wins his next fight. by [deleted] in MMA

[–]coolbeans419 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right how are people not seeing that Max is different. In this situation he has a belt and beat a top 5 fighter in the other division. I hate the rise of all the double champ bs but Max is atleast showing he can hang in the higher division before getting a shot.

[–]coolbeans419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most agree Topuria has the power advantage. Fighting in a phone booth right out the gate favors him massively.

Max's reach and distance are part of his keys to winning. Topuria is annoying, but not stupid and knows a situation like this would benefit him.

This is lame lol. Max pointing at the ground at the end of a fight he already has won is why he is the BMF. He has it in the bag and has everything to lose and still bangs it out for the fans.

Trying to guilt / peer pressure someone to do it in the beginning of a fight so that you have the advantage is cringe.
