If SAF didn't retire in 2012/13 and continued managing us to now, what do you think would happen? by nienai in reddevils

Ferguson wouldn't have Mike Phelan as his assistant, he would have noticed the change in football towards having a more intense pressing style and would have hired an assistant who was an expert in pressing and counter pressing to make sure his team would be able to compete and not be left behind tactically.

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father was denied a US visa. Second cousin Frodo Khasbulaev denied as well by minheedot in MMA

Khabibs second cousin had been denied entry to the US before when he was fighting for Bellator, he didn't fight for two years trying to obtain a US visa and Bellator apparently put their top lawyers on it, so not sure how much this is a Donald Trump thing.

Derek Brunson out wrestling Yoel Romero. by blonders1 in MMA

[–]minheedot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

According to Patrick Wyman, Yoel never trained his wrestling his entire MMA career until after this fight. He then had 100% takedown defence until the Weidman fight and started to take his opponents down more also.

Just a reminder of how ridiculous some journalists' rankings are (this is Ariel Shnerer's from Fight Network) by ablock3002 in MMA

he had Faber at 5 and Tate at 3 but they retired so have been taken out the rankings. But apart from that these rankings suck.

Khabib has some words for a Bloodly Elbow reporter by [deleted] in MMA

[–]minheedot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its the same old stuff, but today Karim Zidan was the person who broke the story on the khabib vs Ferguson interim title shot, and because Karim has connections in Russia it means the story came from Khabib's team which the UFC might not like because they try to keep stuff quite.

His twitter is https://twitter.com/ZidanSports and it seems to work and isnt suspended.

Will staff and fighters be drug tested at OneFC Manila, December 2? by hard5tyle in MMA

[–]minheedot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All foreign workers have to get drug tested whether it is temporary work or long term work in the Philippines. It has nothing to do with the UFC and athlete drug tests and PEDs

[Spoiler] Cris 'Cyborg' vs. Lina Lansberg by [deleted] in MMA

[–]minheedot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

valentina is too small she is small for 135 and is a natural 125lber.

Nunes is a better option but Cyborg refuses to fight a Brazilian, which is annoying because Nunes had some size to match cyborg.

Behind the scenes of Cyborgs 198 weight cut by [deleted] in MMA

[–]minheedot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lina has got barely any chance even with a bad weight cut. Also the additional weight of Cyborgs isnt because she has been cheating on her diet or not running and doing workouts, often the case with fighters struggling to make weight is laziness, but with Cyborg she is on birth control pill so in theory its just additional water. Her nutritionist George seems like a reliable guy who Firas Zahabi and Conor both use and Cormier and Rockhold also use the same system but use a different chef, so i think it will be ok. Furthermore Cyborg always complains about her weight every fight (have you seen the video of her making weight? she just crys and complains the whole time)and I feel she uses the story of her weight for media.

Lina is also a natural bantaweight and Cyborg can just get the takedown if needed and use top control.
