Me neither. While it's surely gonna create some interesting matchups especially at HW and LW, I'm sure a shitton of fighters will be canned. I wonder if UFC will start a women's division or 2. Jacare-Silva might be fun. Sengoku also going bust, I wonder when Dream will die. Pathetic. I need more beer. | |

I just hate watching guys who are less technically talented beat guys better than them. I hate guys who have it easy because I'm jelly, and I hate guys who say naive shit. I hate guys with huge bandwagons, they always get too big and the fans don't understand why they deserve what bandwagon they have in the first place |

Honestly, I think he smashes them all. I cannot think of any fighter with more natural ability than Bones. Look at Semmy Schilt. Not as good as some guys he beat, but because he knew how to use his size quite well, he's the most dominant kickboxer ever. Bones is like that, but also disgustingly good at everything. Semmy had problems fighting outside of his comfort zone, Bones does not. Everything is his comfort zone. And he's bigger faster stronger learns better |

I'm not really sure how fair I think it should be, just that's it's awful when it's grossly unfair or too fair. I think we use weight classes because it's what we're used to using. Height classes I think would be a tiny bit more fair, but really would just be more exciting to watch |
03-20-2011 05:02 PM
#625

Yeah the reach is just an insane factor. The only thing we don't know is how good he fights off his back, problem is trying to take down somebody who will have 10 inch reach on you and is an amazing wrestler is gonna be almost impossible. | |

Machida will look like Sherk. Shogun couldn't even tag him with lunging forward. I dont think Machida will be any different, even though I wouldn't terribly hate that fight. The LHW I give the best chance to is Gracie. That's a small chance though. He's got a real good clinch, standup will be better than expected (but not in any way that he could brawl), and Bones will take him down because that's how he rolls, which is when Gracie will have a decent chance of outgrappling him |

So much sigh... Shogun is never good in his first fight back from surgery. He looked slow and old but proved he's got pretty insane heart and a chin. | |

I've been thinking a little about height instead of weight classes and it's certainly an interesting idea and one that I had thought about before but immediately rejecting it. I'm not really sure why.. maybe it's the history/familiarity with weight classes. In any case, I can think of 3 legit reasons off the top of my head why height classes would be a bad idea: | |

Those are excellent points. I partially disagree with the first point though, as most guys wouldn't look much differently than they do. Types of body mass is largely genetic, and they have to work their asses off. I honestly don't think that somebody like Roy Nelson would have an advantage against any LHW who doesn't cut from walk around/training weight. And then you get guys like Pudzianowski, who no matter how good he could be, he loses to anybody worth anything because there's no possible way he doesn't gas out to shit with all that muscle |

Actually, I like the Bones/Rashad fight. Never been a big fan of Rashad, mainly because in my scoring system, he lost to both Thiago Silva and Rampage, but he says he knows exactly how to fight Bones because he's trained with him so much. |

Wuf, do you have any good sites related to MMA fighter and technical discussion? I watch most of the events but I don't really have much of an idea as to whats going on (especially scoring) beyond what's obvious. I really don't know much about the fighting styles either, outside of wrestling and boxing both of which I've done to a very limited extent. | |

I don't have any good sites. I only use MMA Ungerground, Sherdog, and MMAWeekly. Part of the time, you can find excellent stuff, but most of the time it's a bunch of trolls and retards. They do have technique forums, but I never go there. You can discuss MMA there, but it's much harder than you'd think since sports fans are almost always egocentric blowhards |

Guy makes some good points about Machida. If he smashes Randy and somebody else, then I'm quite intrigued with him and Bones going at it |

After watching the fight again, that first knee hit shogun clean and would have dropped many people, starting a fight off with a huge hit like that is never good, he was doing fine on the ground til he got raped standing up. | |

Yeah I'm starting to get the impression that Rashad could take this |

Shoguns first statement since fight and he said Jones hits very hard and he never recovered off that first knee (which is obvious at how slow and sloppy he was) but the fact he was in zombie mode for most the fight and still did fine on the ground in round 1 and tried for leg locks says a lot. | |

danaher has probably memorized every move from every shields match since shields was in high school. as good as Shields' ground game is, GSP wins this won imo. i love bjj though, so if shields can takedown->mount->back-> rnc, i'm all for that too. |

I agree but I've only seen Jone's last two fights. He must learn extremely quickly. I saw a LOT of Anderson Silva's techniques that he was using very effectively. He seems as good as Silva but a lot more aggressive. If anyone wants to beat Jones, they better try it soon because he's rapidly improving. Rashad has a puncher's chance but Jones, like Silva, has great defense and is very elusive. | |

I am pretty damn excited to see Gegard smash Jardine and then Hendo. Sure Lawal was able to lie on top of him for a full 25 minute fight but Gegard is insanely dangerous standing or on his back and he is totally brutal when he smells blood. Seeing him fight JJ would be a treat though it's uncertain how he would deal with the wrestling of JJ. Maybe Zuffa will make it happen after Rashad gets KTFO and Mousassi takes back the Strikeforce belt. | |

Holy fucking shit watching it live I knew that was a horrible stoppage, but fucking christ on rewatch that was easily one of the worst stoppages I've ever seen. Dana must have made it very, very clear to John and the commentators that Daley is the enemy. |

I must say I am quite pleased with Aoki's performance. It's nice to see a success for a crossover Japanese fighter, but more importantly, LW didn't appear to have an uber submission guy after what Gil did to Aoki. But maybe he's learned and he could provide an awesome dynamic to the wrestle-heavy, striker-happy LW division. One of my favorite things to watch is an expert judo/bjj guy with competent striking/wrestling. Like Roger Gracie, and it appears Aoki might be going down that road too. It's a very tough plan to counter for standard fighters today too |

lol just watched Shields vs Hendo again, and daaaaaamn I must have been too drunk to notice how bad Jake's striking was. I knew it was crummy, but broken back Hendo landed every single punch. Not to mention that Mayhem subbed Shields |

Rumor has it Shield's ground game is far superior to GSP's. | |

Superior? Yes. Far superior? No. Do I think it will matter? No. On the possibility that Jake's wrestling is better than GSP's, he does have a clear path to victory, but after watching his fight with Hendo again, I think GSP is going to be able to hang in the wrestling just fine |

Sorry homey, but you losing money on Jake. Upon more comprehensive review, G to the SP beats him everywhere at everything. Not only that but GSP is the most athletically gifted WW. Jake hasn't subbed anybody of worth lately, he won't even come close on GSP. The fact that GSP has evolved a ton while Jake is still the same says everything that needs to be said. Jake is entering the big leagues. This will probably be his last main event. |
