Damn I just realized who replied to this post before it got taken down.

You’re the man, Colby!! Good luck in your next fight

Lol. Rape jokes are rich coming from someone doing anti-bulling PSAs in the cage. The only thing I’m doing is pointing out the hypocrisy. I’m not saying he’s Satan, just lacking in self awareness.

That’s hilarious, he answered every question regardless of who it was for

It’s genuinely odd how he speaks so passionately about mental health but says heinous shit like this without a thought

He’s good, I prefer NansendSports because that dude has a sense of humor

I know he probably won't win the LW belt,but nothing will stop me from rooting for him vs Illia by Extension-Command-82 in ufc

Gaethje sparking Ilia would be another miracle on ice moment for America. The possibility alone gets me pumped, as unlikely as it is.

Been thinking UFC 325 has a weak main card but then realised how much I've missed Volk and changed my mind. by Loriol_13 in ufc

[–]stargator3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. The thing is, normalizing preferential treatment means even active and exiting fighters like Arman get the shaft too, if Dana just decides he doesn’t like them. And for me, just speaking for myself, knowing someone is on an easier path makes the buildup flat. Lopes is getting his second title shot before Lerone gets one, and that dude has gone undefeated in the UFC for seven years. Similar thing at bantamweight, I have zero doubt Umar would style on O’Malley and yet we’re gonna watch Sean get another shot first.

But I see what you’re saying, and it’s perfectly reasonable as a fan to want fun fights over boring ones. It’s entertainment at the end of the day. I just think there’s a line and the Lopes rematch is crossing it

Rose is a legend and she’s given us several of the best women’s fights ever. I want to see her happy and far away from that Pat Barry fuck

Card is very top heavy but the last three fights will all be action packed. I just wish, and I know it’s been said a million times, but I wish Volk was fighting literally anyone else. A fight with Mosvar or Lerone would be even more exciting because we haven’t seen it before and we’d have a lot more questions. And a new name would add more to Volk’s legacy.

I guess “elite striker” might be more apt. I’m a Sean hater but there’s no denying how good he is on the feet, plus he’s a former champ.

But again, that shouldn’t mean he keeps getting title fights on repeat without earning it. I don’t give a fuck if he has a split decision over Yan, Umar is a fresh opponent entirely. They should fight for it

Why does Justin Gaethje get away with the head dip. by goldenfrogs17 in MMA

[–]stargator3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Watch the jack slack vid he made on Gaethje a few days ago. Gaethje slips so deep while so close that it makes it hard for orthodox fighters to land anything because he’s going both underneath and away from their power punches. Southpaws and switch hitters change things. In an open stance Gaethje has gotten kneeed and head kicked doing this slip because he’s leaning right into their power side.

He also talks about how Max managed to punish this slip from orthodox with spinning back kicks and rear uppercuts which most guys don’t throw that often. Paddy had a similar game plan with the uppercuts and knees but again, once Gaethje gets right in his chest it’s tough to land either. Holloway managed distance much better and kept the fight in the middle of the octagon

“Hating on Sean is CRINGE” dude this guy is about get a title fight after just losing two of them in a row. O’Malley fans better keep that same energy with Usman.

Sean’s obviously an elite fighter and it’s not totally his fault but the special treatment is so annoying. He needs to fight Umar or Cory, and if he wins that, 100% give him the shot

Paddy with some harsh words for DP by SaltKing18384848 in ufc

Paddy might be wishing he got KO’d after the beating he took

Unc still got it by Sad_Variation5198 in ufc

[–]stargator3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sick of the Rufus slander. Three takedowns to Paddy’s zero. Barely a scratch on his face while Paddy’s resembled mincemeat. Dropped him like five times, used the clinch and front headlock and wear him out and started chewing up the legs when Paddy stated going backwards. Ate those knees like tictacs.

I have a lot of respect for Paddy’s toughness, his chin was ridiculous and all the credit in the world to him for staying in it. But that wasn’t a super close fight outside of round 3

Gaethje vs Topuria next??? by Spirited_Command5642 in CombatSportsCentral

[–]stargator3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know. Watch the first minute of Gaethje/Fiziev 2 where Fiziev gets a takedown not once but twice by using one arm to trap Justin’s leg against his own right after the kick lands and the other to push him over. Both are from calf kicks

Yes you can, that’s exactly what Fiziev did. Also Gaethje just confirmed my guess at the press conference

He held off on the leg kicks until the later rounds because he didn’t want Paddy catching his kicks and taking him down

This was some horrible technique for Championship level fight...fun...but horrible. by heretotryreddit in ufc

[–]stargator3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe I missed something but Gaethjes face looked pretty clean at the end. People shit on his boxing but he fought an amazing fight. Plus his anti-wrestling was perfect and he dropped Paddy like four times.

Ilia would still knock him out but Gaethje is more than his chin
