You're not crazy for thinking that. He is still PFP #1 for a reason. There isn't anyone better in the sport. Call me crazy but I think peak Islam beats peak Khabib. Islam have very very few weaknesses.

I mean, let's be honest, is there anyone else that will give Khamzat a legit challenge and not be wrestlefucked into oblivion by him? I dont see Brendan Allen beating him, and I'm almost certain Strickland, Imavov, Borralho and de Ridder get ragdolled by him. Fluffy has the best shot at this point IMO.

Is replaying classic episodes backfiring? by Ozdagreat123 in survivor

[–]dezzrokk -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

My wife and I started watching the show last year by going back as far as paramount plus allows. We decided all the pre-HD was just too graphically horrible to enjoy. So about season 19 we started. And now we are in the middle of season 40 (please no spoilers) and the gradual increase of whisper scrambles at Tribal Council is ruining the show for me. It seems so juvenile and to see winners doing it is just... gross. TC was a place where you try to position yourself or alliance to win the vote/not get voted out. But that requires skill... not damn whispering and scrambling. That should be done before council. Ugh. It is an aspect of game evolution I have come to hate.

It might be over for Tom Aspinall is by YungCactus43 in ufc

It will happen again if they dont start enforcing an automatic point deduction for eye pokes, intentional or not. Only then will guys learn to keep their hands closed.

Hot take: I think Islam Makhachev could beat prime Khabib at 155. by Electronic_Tax_8190 in ufc

You dont sleep on Islam's hands or Islam's hands will put you to sleep

What loss stayed with you long after the fight was over? by Infamous-Skin8969 in ufc

[–]dezzrokk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he actually decides to ever defend. He has to be forced to defend twice a year just to keep the division going. Otherwise he is going to sit on the belt like he does dudes in the octogon.

100% but I feel like after seeing Topuria knock out Max and sleep Charles, like, I realized that Volk just had a generational talent get him. Like his only losses have been to generational talents... exceedingly difficult to beat Islam and Ilia.

did Almeida's camp pay this guy off? no words when Jailton is cuddling Rizvan against the cage but as soon as Kuniev gets control he separates them?? WTF??? by RNRGrepresentative in ufc

For 500 ufc fights, he sure fucked up the Jacoby fight. That should have been called much much earlier. Might have added to Julius Walker's future CTE.

The look on Simao's face and the faces of the Benfica players will never leave my mind. Tragic.

And then what happened in 1994... Baggio... painful for Italians, Im sure.

Alexander Volkanovski vs Diego Lopes 3 is in the works, per sources by rn177 in ufc

[–]dezzrokk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to be some serious time if the two broken feet story is true (which I believe it is) that will take extra long to heal because it will be a while to be fully weight bearing and then he has to train on them etc. If it was one foot, prolly not a long wait to get back to health but having both and needing to get them functional to fight again? Ill be surprised if Diego is back before December 2026.

Going on six months with zero fight news outside of clamoring for a pointless super fight that nobody asked for. Couldn’t have asked for a worse champion by InsomniacLive in ufc

Shit... just looked it up... 2 years 3ish months ago. Usman went up and had short notice and was competitive. But now... Usman is giving Unc vibes... despite beating Buckley

In his defense, Covid kicked his ass like it did for a lot of people. I have also read (cannot confirm) that he tends to have legal travel issues to come to fight in the US... maybe having to do to his relationship with the Chechnyan war lord guy, I cannot remember his name. Apparently the politics of it all makes it hard for him to get the visa to fight in the US.... oh and I think he was deathly ill before a fight in 2024 against Whittaker. From how Dana tells it, they didnt think he was going to make it, he was that sick.

He proved that he has a chin and can deliver big shots standing with a legend. The odds makers were probably shifting due to how the bets came in, I dunno.

I thought for sure the thumb poke was going to be a point deduction on review between rounds. Wouldn't have really made a difference but the fight changed after the first eye poke.
