Darc_Requiem Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) I'm curious if anyone else here follows MMA. It's the only sport, except for American Football, that I really follow closely. Hopefully this Khabib vs. Ferguson fight really happens this time. Edited July 25, 2021 by Darc_Requiem Abbachio 1 Quote Link to comment

Darc_Requiem Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Everyone wants to fight Cyborg....until they get the fight contact. Nunes changed her mind quick after Cyborg smashed Yana. Edited March 21, 2018 by Darc_Requiem Quote Link to comment
Abbachio Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I don't even know why they have Cyborg, an entire division and there's only 1 fighter in it that actually fights at that weight. Quote Link to comment

Cyborg is a draw. She had the third highest PPV from last year. Even her fight against an unknown like Yana Kunitskaya did more than double the PPV numbers of Nunes fight versus Schevchenko. She'd be an even bigger drawn if Dana White didn't spend so much time shitting on her when Rousey was still in the picture. Quote Link to comment
Abbachio Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Oh I get that, it'd just be nice if she had some actual challengers with a division underneath. I wonder how long her drawing power will last though? Quote Link to comment
Darc_Requiem Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Women's Featherweight is a thin division. While the UFC was shitting on Cyborg to appease Ronda. Bellator snatched a lot of the thin talent pool. The UFC needs to do a TUF for Women's Featherweight. That is the fastest way to build the division. Women's combat sports doesn't pay that well for the most part. If the UFC showed they were serious about the division, they'd actually be able to draw women for the division from other disciplines and they'd have decent division on their hands in a few years. A baseline UFC contract that is like 12k to show and another 12k to win would be good money for most women's combat athletes and that just the bottom tier contract. I watch Invicta. A UFC base contract it like 10 times what those girls make. I think the old ownership would have built the division the right way. WME is just trying throw together money fights. Which was good in the short term but a poor long term plan. Quote Link to comment

Darc_Requiem Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Yeah I can't wait for the card. As I said earlier, just hoping the main event actually happens. Both Tony and Khabib have had to pull out before. It makes me nervous. Abbachio 1 Quote Link to comment
Abbachio Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 This is like the third time the fight has been lined up? Only 2 weeks for one of them to get injured or miss weight :kappa: Quote Link to comment
Darc_Requiem Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Not sure if anyone else watches Invicta. Mizuki Inoue is fighting tomorrow. Quote Link to comment

Abbachio Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Barboza got fucking wrekt, LW has always been an interesting division but I think it's the one that has my full attention right now. That may be because I can't wait for someone to completely embarrass Khabib on the feet though. Quote Link to comment
Darc_Requiem Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Lightweight is always stacked. Part of the reason the whole McGregor saga pissed me off so much. He was jamming up the deepest division in MMA. Abbachio 1 Quote Link to comment

Darc_Requiem Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Great night of fights. Penningtion's coach should be ashamed. She said she was done after round 4. Her nose was toast. They shouldn't have sent her back out there. Quote Link to comment

Maxx Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Lmfao some mma fighter in a mma group tried to call me out about the jump back kick. I was saying it's amazing what you can do when you have good basics. And now people wanna tell me it's not a basic move. See what happens.. When you don't have good fundamentals.. People will tell you it's some crazy advanced move only special people can do. Lmfao. Next they gonna tell me Machias front ball kick was some super dark arts move.

KingTubb Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 1 minute ago, Abbachio said: Wait that's this weekend!? Shit how did I miss that? Cause the UFC doesn't think Gaethje is a star, is betting on him losing so that Conor/Khabib 2 can go down in March. But they might be nervous that Khabib will actually lose, so they don't want him getting beat with a huge audience so the fight in March still sells gangbusters. Don't mind me, I'm just trying on my tinfoil hats over here. Abbachio 1 Quote Link to comment

Darc_Requiem Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 I don't disagree with you. That said, since the Fertita's sold it, the UFC has been more about less about merit. I mean look at the bullshit they pulled with Leon Edwards. They pulled him from the rankings for "lack of activity." Dude hate a fight cancelled due to COVID and more importantly Ortega didn't fight for two years and was still on the rankings. Edwards is in the same position Usman was before he snagged the belt. He's really good, not well known, so no one ranked above him wants to fight him. Quote Link to comment

It's all about points of control. -contracted workers -no outside sponsorship -they say who is. Or isn't in the rankings -using Rankings to value a fighter even though it means shit for outside org Champs or former Champs coming in. It's all a game of how Dana can control the game as much as possible. Darc_Requiem 1 Quote Link to comment
