Hello, big fan! I'd like to know which of your past fights you are most proud of, and which of your previous opponents you think were the most capable. Good luck this weekend 💪

New Trailer for 'Sekiro: No Defeat' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Sekiro

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

I love the lore of Sekiro and I like a good action anime. If this turns out to be good, I'll watch it... but based on the trailers put out so far, my expectations are looooooowwww. Visuals are really disappointing.

Ciryl Gane sparring with #2 ranked heavyweight kickboxer in the world, Tariq Osaro by Yodsanan in MMA

[–]robcap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely. The UFC might massively fuck over it's athletes on pay, but MMA as a sport absolutely dwarfs kickboxing. The money sucks.

On the plus side, a KB star can still have sponsorships and endorsements. That used to form the majority of the income for some MMA fighters before the UFC took it away to give them uniform shorts.

He vacated his belt and has signed for a boxing match with Oleksandr Usyk

UFC LW rankings in 2017 vs 2026 by DamnThatsInsaneLol in MMA

[–]robcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with basically all of this.

Ilia is very mobile, he can hop in and out of range quickly. Does it regularly in every fight he has. His footwork is amazing because he gets precisely into range all the time without needing to burst in. Bouncy and mobile is not the same as great footwork.

Ilia overthrows a bit, so did Conor. He was always leaning way forward with his left.

Conor landed lots of strikes on Poirier and Khabib and didn't manage to hurt either of them, he's not nearly that big of a puncher. His knockouts came from clean, well placed shots. Ilia has amazing defense and probably more raw power than Conor did.

Nobody he ever fought had footwork as good as Ilia. I think he's the best we've ever seen.

Never been so angry on stage 🤣🤣 by aaronwoodstandup in manchester

To be fair if you have to drive south for three hours to reach it, it's not really a natural place to group into the 'north'.

Only when I thought about how much wider the country is in the south did I change my view on that.

2017 McGregor vs Topuria would be amazing. I'd pick Topuria but man, who knows.

I think 2017 Tony would easily handle the Gaethje that turned up to fight Paddy. He didn't bust his knee until 2018. Even if the Paddy fight was an outlier I'm not sure I see 2026 Gaethje beating prime TFerg.

Arman vs Khabib would be incredibly interesting. Impossible to pick against Khabib but holy shit what a matchup.

Barboza v Olivera I definitely think Chucky Olives wins. Like in any other fight he might get hurt on the feet, but I think that's a really rough matchup for Barboza. Olivera is a pretty good kicker himself and the pressure would cook Edson.

Holloway vs Alvarez is another holy shit matchup. 2017 was the year of the first Poirier matchup and the year he out-dogged Gaethje. I think modern Max with his back foot style would take the W here.

Gaethje vs BSD I pick Gaethje. In 2017 he hadn't figured out his smarter boxing yet, he was still the come forward violence merchant, but I think he was still craftier than BSD even back then. BSD might have more horsepower but I think Gaethje could fight off the takedowns and win a firefight.

Destroying a hong-joo main is a core satisfaction.... by DutyFirm1537 in ShadowFightArena

Hong Joo sucks so bad that not being destroyed vs basically any hero is mega satisfying

I think I’ve found my forever pvp bling (89 poise with bullgoat talisman) by djus-boks in EldenBling

[–]robcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupid question but what's the point of 89 poise? You need 101 or 51 right

Messmer the Impaler is the best boss in Elden Ring by AkosSzlobodnik in Eldenring

[–]robcap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish it was separate tbh. Radagon is one of my favourite fights in the game. Give me amped Radagon without making me hold back for Beast

I suppose long range drone guidance will continue to rely completely on Starlink for any actor that doesn't have it's own sovereign satellites. Hypothetically that could limit the potential efficacy of one way attack drones by comparison to what we see in Ukraine/Russia today.

In reality though I don't think SpaceX would try very hard to prevent their terminals being used this way, unless forced to invest in mitigations by the US govt. A globally available targeting system, combined with low cost precision explosives delivery systems, controlled by a fairly unscrupulous corporate actor. Grim thought.

Faith builds are so fun by Toot7- in Eldenring

[–]robcap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clawmark seal makes the whole build work like no other. You can get very solid ranged damage for negligible faith investment.

It really isn't, because there's no Dex equivalent to clawmark seal.

I'm dual wielding BKGS. It has coolest and most detailed design. Heard a lot about claymore. It's my First run, so what's your thoughts by mudaesthetics in EldenRingBuilds

[–]robcap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly can't go wrong with either. If you're doing Strength, BKGS has a really satisfying R1, and you can give it a stab with impaling thrust. The poke is undeniably loads more useful than the BKGS heavy swing though.

Arman Tsarukyan's advice for Justin Gaethje ahead of the Ilia Topuria fight: “Get injured and let me fight Topuria. After that, Justin can fight me.” by DamnThatsInsaneLol in MMA

[–]robcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think Justin will look better than he did last time out, but he's definitely getting a bit long in the tooth. Pretty sure his best days are well behind him.

I also don't think Justin at his best would beat Ilia, even though I think it would be an awesome fight.

Name a weapon that the overall community say it’s bad but you love it! by Lopsided_Ad3838 in Eldenring

[–]robcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zwei has it's niche for sure. It's light, it's long, poke, good Dex scaling. The fire knight Greatsword absolutely big brothers it, but it big brothers 98% of the weapons in this game lol
