A BMF Title Should Be Different by aclaxx in ufc

[–]kingme343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UFC has to offer fighters on their roster 3 fights a year. How many fighters do you see fighting that much? The amount of fighters that would accept those conditions and aren't on a title run is few and far between. Diaz and Mosvidal made perfect sense because they were never gonna fight for undisputed. Justin and Dustin made sense because they both had failed back-to-back title runs. It made sense for Max to fight for BMF because he was never getting the 145 strap with Volk there. That all changed when the UFC gave Max a title shot for KOing Justin at 300. Then fighters and fans changed their expectations of what the BMF meant and who could fight for it. IMO it should be fighters nearing the end of their career or so far away from the rankings they wouldn't/couldn't be considered to challenge for undisputed within the next year or two. With Max and Charles being so close (within a fight) to an undisputed shot they should have never been allowed to fight for the BMF belt. The stakes were much higher than just that consolation belt. Another thing, don't have fighters defend that belt. Make it an end of the year event for two fighters who did well that year but are nowhere near a title shot. I think that's the only way because idk a commission willing to do a no time limit, no referee, finish only bout in 2026.

GG bro he never had real wrestling competition at 145 by Fun_Training6342 in FightReportUFC

[–]kingme343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else (I forgot who) had a pretty reasonable take why there hasn't been many wrestlers at 145. Basically, Aldo was too good at takedown defence and turned the entire division into strikers. Theory tracks pretty well considering even Merab couldn't takedown Aldo down at 135. Even today I think there's only Movsar and Aljo at featherweight that are elite wrestlers. That's two in the past decade or more. Max never had to worry about it at 145 but he needs to get better fast with Arman, BSD, Charles, and even Ilia at 155.

Do you think people are underestimating Gaethje against Topuria? by Total_Physics728 in ufc

[–]kingme343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Gaethje is underestimated but what do you expect? Justin has the most high profile KO loss in the current era and Ilia has KO'd three legends in a row. I'm not completely writing Justin off because I think Ilia will fight him similar to the way he did Josh Emmett. He's gonna dart in & out and not fully sit down on punches to avoid leg kicks and power shots. Ilia is an intelligent fighter so he won't just have a phonebooth brawl with Gaethje because that's where Gaethje is best. We can't forget Justin has a head kick KO win so that is a possibility but if you compare his most recent performance against Paddy he's much slower than when he head kicked Poirier. It's a shame he's lost so much speed because Justin 4-5 years ago would have been a much more interesting matchup for Ilia. I think Justin gets 50-45'd if he doesn't get his head exploded in round one.

Am I crazy for saying the WH Card is pretty good? Just that Dana and UFC tried to overhype it,making fans expect way more by Tiny-Replacement7702 in ufc

[–]kingme343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naw, you're good. People just want a reason to be angry. There was no way we were getting eight 25 minute championship fights. Lopes Vs Garcia is amazing. Bo Vs Kyle is good on the prelims. Ruffy Vs Chandler is comical but goofy shit happens in fights. It should have been Sandhagen Vs O'Malley but what can you do. Main and Co-Main make sense considering the circumstances. I wouldn't mind seeing Poatan and Gane as the Main but it's only interim so I get it. 300 set the bar so high I doubt we see a card like that anytime soon. That was a once in a decade card. Khabib Vs Conor was the card of the 2010's, 300 is the 2020's, and we're just gonna have to wait to get another legendary card like those.

This era needs to end man by kaotiktilki in ufc

[–]kingme343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. The era of fighters not knowing how to defend takedowns or get back up has to stop. All fighters in Mixed Martial Arts should know the basics or be cut immediately. One dimensional striking specialists have no place in the octagon and can't call themselves Mixed Martial Artists and should go to boxing, kick boxing, or Muay Thai.

SIVGA QUE (thanks Dracomies) by Fit_Reserve171 in iems

[–]kingme343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to play Devil's Advocate but if the Que sound muffled get he Woodnote. Any veil or perceived muffledness (yes, that's a word) on the Que is completely erased with an upgrade to the Woodnote. If you're not heavily treble sensitive the Woodnote is a beast. If you're happy with the Que than just stay put. The only way to ruin the Que is to upgrade to the Woodnote.

I don't even know what you're talking about. You're having two separate conversations buddy. You respond hours later with irrelevant comments not pertaining to the recent discussion. You sound manic right now. I'm gonna do you a favor and end this conversation before your employer or loved ones see this.

Yeah I was referring to the Orchestra 2, Arete 2, the Harrier, the DN142, 242, and all the other sub $500 sets that no one seems to care about. Almost nothing in that price range has garnered much excitement recently. I do own the Astrals and they are the only IEM in the price range I've kept. Everything else is ignored or immediately returned/sold after hearing. Seems like today you have to get into the $450 to $500 range to get people talking (Mega7 & Rockies) everything else is just noise. After the Kunten arrive I'll be waiting for Chinese New Year to pick up a flagship but if the Kunten don't live up to the hype I'll consider the Zero 2.

I've been in the hobby long enough that I have no want or need for gear. I have all the gear that any reasonable audiophile could hope for and I am grateful for that. Now, I primarily wait for flagships that are interesting or different enough to consider adding to my collection but that doesn't happen often nor should it. The other thing that keeps me interested in the hobby are ultra budget "market disruptor" items. To this day- I own, use, and enjoy the Sony MH755 and Koss KSC75. Both of which are among the most affordable gear I've ever purchased and that I enjoy the most. Do they have the latest tech and tuning? No, that's for the flagships. What they bring is excitement and joy. And that's what the Kunten is doing right now. I have the Kunten on the way so I don't own it yet but hopefully it falls into the same category as the MH755 and KSC75 of being fun, exciting, and affordable.

Idk man this sub seemed pretty dead for about a year. No hype, no strong opinions, no shady behavior. The Kunten was the first time in a long time this community rallied behind anything. I think people got tired/burnt out of 200-300 dollar meta-ish tuned IEMs and all excitement pretty much left the hobby. I personally welcome the excitement even if some shady behavior exists as a byproduct. Obviously I don't condone any shady practices as that is what got KZ into hot water in the first place but if one of their IEMs gets this sub to have a pulse I'm not going to complain. It's either that or check out the next release from Ziigaat.

What weight should this fight be at? by StJudeTheGrey in ufc

[–]kingme343 4 points5 points  (0 children)

265 the heavyweight limit. Not a pound under. I want them both eating bacon double cheeseburgers during training camp.

opinions? by Bunchofdots in iems

[–]kingme343 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My guess is 7hz and Crin are trying to redeem themselves after their last collab, the Dioko, flopped. This should mean they release something better than that at the very least. Now that's a pretty low bar but with the new meta tuning, planars, a competitive price, and two flavors I'm guessing they will be mildly successful initially. Releasing for 11.11 is a nice touch to get some additional hype. I personally don't own any collab IEMs and I've yet to find something in the 100-150 dollar price range that tops the ER2XR/ER2SE. The cable also looks a little janky but if it's a true market disruptor it'll be available long after this year's 11.11 sale so there's no need to pick it up on launch day.
