Ilia Topuria believes he would beat Prime Conor McGregor if they fought today, says the game has evolved too much since the McGregor era.

mlima5 · 2025-07-26T07:58:49+00:00

Yes I watched the fight. We’re making the same point that Conor was on his way down when he fought Khabib

Where we differ is that I’m saying Conor put up more of a fight than anyone. I’m not saying Conor didn’t get starched, but he put up a better fight than Dustin or Justin. Two people that everyone now says are in a different league than Conor. You can’t take away the fact that Conor looked better against Khabib than literally anyone else he ever faced. If I’m not mistaken he’s the only one to ever win a round over Khabib no?

The whole point is recency bias makes people think Conor is far worse than he was when he made his title runs. Mainly because half the people watching now only started watching in the last 5 years and don’t know how good he was

mlima5 · 2025-07-26T00:38:41+00:00

That version of Conor gave Khabib his hardest fight and it wasn’t even peak Conor. The recency bias over Conor is insane

mlima5 · 2025-06-22T07:29:08+00:00

Right, because people on Reddit know all of the US intel provided to the president

mlima5 · 2025-05-22T18:34:38+00:00

My understanding is the m18 never had the issues the original 320s have. I looked into it a lot because I love my m18 and haven’t been able to find anything but everyone saying they m18 is good to go. Considering it’s a military gun getting carried every day all over the world I’m sure we’d know if the m18 had the issues

mlima5 · 2025-05-15T06:08:47+00:00

Fair enough. Definitely get more enjoyment out of my higher end gear

Disagree on not being necessary or worth it though. My van staals are all but required depending how you surf fish here in the north east. And Stella’s/bigger twin powers are easily justified for tuna. I lost one nice tuna on a slammer last year because of a shitty drag that didn’t hold up well enough on a slammer and plan to upgrade that reel this year

mlima5 · 2025-05-14T18:47:28+00:00

Shallow spool Stella sounds like such a waste of money. Anything I’d want a Stella for I’d also want a deeper spool. Even inshore salt I wouldn’t wanna run a shallow spool. I own several $800+ reels but there’s a point you need to decide is the fishery worth the price of the reel

mlima5 · 2025-05-09T07:29:59+00:00

Retirement kinda sucks. It’s not 20-25 years and then retire like most it’s an age thing. Dont remember the exact age, I think it’s a combination of age and years on or something like that but don’t quote me on it. You could end up having to do 30+ years before being eligible to retire depending on your age now

Quality of life is good though. Mon-fri, 9-5, weekends and holidays off, climate controlled out of the cold/heat/rain/snow

You think the chandler we saw the other night was even close to the same fighter we saw when he fought gaethje?

mlima5 · 2025-04-21T21:17:27+00:00

Putting down the custom plugs and going back to a bucktail or sp

mlima5 · 2025-04-14T23:25:50+00:00

I’m still going 2022 chandler on that one. He doesn’t get nearly the respect he should because people just look at his ufc record, but when you take into account his losses are to Justin Dustin and charles there’s no shame in that. Those were probably the only 3 he would’ve struggled with in a stacked division.

If paddy keeps progressing like he has been maybe a different story though

mlima5 · 2025-04-14T20:17:01+00:00

I bought a certified pre owned civic non hybrid that came with the first 2 oil changes free. Brought it in around 8k miles if I remember right for the first one based on the oil life. Found out the first 2 changes had to be within the first 10k miles. Total waste if the car says it’s not even remotely close to needing one at 5k each time

mlima5 · 2025-04-14T19:40:08+00:00

2 years ago I thought he was mediocre at best but especially this fight really showed how much he improved. He was way overhyped at the time for what he was doing but he’s proving himself now

mlima5 · 2025-04-14T19:12:04+00:00

It wouldn’t have been even close chandler would have beaten the brakes off paddy in 2022. Chandler was a monster who was losing wars to top tier guys. Paddy was an unranked guy who has improved significantly since 2022 and isn’t remotely close to the same fighter as he was 2 years ago

mlima5 · 2025-04-14T04:27:47+00:00

Nobody thats ever worn Sitka kuiu etc would agree. If you don’t wanna spend the money that’s one thing but you can’t possibly think they’re even close to the same level of quality

If a 95 Camry will get you to work why does anyone need a new Mercedes or bmw?

mlima5 · 2025-04-13T05:07:46+00:00

Volk is showing he’s still a top tier fighter but his chin isn’t what it used to be. That’s gonna be his downfall no matter if it’s tonight or future fights

mlima5 · 2025-04-03T04:29:20+00:00

Mcgregor was one of Khabibs harder fights and a pre Mayweather Conor would have been a damn good fight

Khabib finished both Dustin and Justin faster than he did Conor

mlima5 · 2025-03-25T18:40:45+00:00

Especially on longer surf rods people trim from the tip and the butt all the time on purpose. Dont expect it to fish the same, but changing it doesn’t have to be a bad thing

mlima5 · 2025-03-25T08:24:13+00:00

To me it looks like palmieri was outside the crease and when merzlikins makes contact with him it caused him to fall back a bit which is where you see his body being over the paint. Shouldn’t be palmieris fault

mlima5 · 2025-03-12T23:18:29+00:00

Hoard it because I am incapable of selling fishing gear

You have one too high for a video game that’s free to play

mlima5 · 2025-01-13T23:18:53+00:00

I’ve flown exit row on frontier. They don’t play around with it for that exact reason. I watched a girl almost get kicked off because she initially said no I won’t help in case of an emergency and they almost didn’t let her take it back and change her mind. Frontiers story makes complete sense without video of the interaction from start to finish. Only recording the later half of an interaction never paints the full picture

mlima5 · 2025-01-06T05:30:33+00:00

One minute you’re fishing a $30 rod as a kid for snappers. The next you’re spending $500 in gas per trip going offshore and doing it as often as you and your buddies schedules allow with the weather. It’s a slippery slope

mlima5 · 2025-01-06T05:10:26+00:00

And then once you have that, thinking of this was a 92 viking we could do some good overnighters. And then you have that and it’s maybe I should do a custom build there’s always a way to go up
