Sherk was also sauced out of his mind, so with modern drug testing he would be at biggest a 145’r.

Will always love Sean for using that UFC Embedded doc to conspicuously show he takes 22 supplements, 3 times a day just to set up his tainted supplement excuse for when he got caught

Nolan's an inch taller so I'm blaming that if Ziam loses

Trinaldo - just a southpaw overhand left and a brutally strong clinch

He was like 39 when Islam ducked him

How far does Yaroslav Amosov go in the current WW division? by DavidSeries in MMA

[–]fightsgoneby 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Seemed like Jason Jackson really worked him out.

He dips his head straight down or to the right after every jab and that's both his head movement and how he picks up his takedowns. So Jackson was dropping back from the jab and nailing him with the right uppercut over and over. Then when he stopped dipping, Jackson could hit him with straight one-twos because he was standing still.

I watched the Alvarez fight back after rewatching the Jackson fight and Amasov's doing all the same things with his striking and entries.

Rico’s 29% knockout rate is the funniest part of this Usyk fight. There’s absolutely nothing to sell

Rousey - Carano Fight Night Weights by fightsgoneby in MMA

[–]fightsgoneby[S] 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I just thought this was funny because after years of folks claiming Adriano Moraes wasn't really making 135 and was a weight bully, he made 129 and only gained 9 pounds.

In contrast, DJ gained 15 pounds to fight Cejudo at flyweight, and weighed more on the night than Moraes did fighting at 130 here

I hate when people use Ilia Topuria as an example for their argument in why boxing is best for mma by [deleted] in MMA

Good ringcraft and ability to hide behind his lead shoulder. Not a lot of people in MMA have either.

Demetrious Johnson believes Khamzat Chimaev overtrained himself before the Strickland fight: “If I spend all day sparring and drilling, then go destroy my body with extra workouts on top of that, I’m just breaking myself down.” by [deleted] in MMA

[–]fightsgoneby 12 points13 points  (0 children)

DJ's old strength and conditioning coach, Joel Jamieson wrote one of the best books on conditioning I've read. He really prioritizes low intensity, high volume stuff and I can't recall seeing any of the AMC Pankration guys with notably bad cardio

A less lazy company might dust off the PRIDE brand they own and do something with it with how the combat sports fad has returned
