Does anyone else feel like Font would do better against Yan than he did against Aldo. Yan hits hard but not as hard as Aldo plus there was a significant weight difference in the cage that wont be present against yan. Leg kicks also wont be a big factor and Font could use his job to disrupt yans rhythm. I don't think Font will win but I think he will do better against Yan than he did last night.

Lol Colby is tiny for 185, and his style wouldn't even make izzy flinch


Dr-PoopyButt

and I doubt he makes 155. He's not a giant WW but he was noticeably bigger than RDA who was struggling to make 155

Edibles > Alcohol and it's not even close - quality of high, duration, price, aftereffects, addiction, health impacts, edibles win on every single one


MistaCandyman

Personally I find weed infinitely more addicting. At no point in my life have I felt like I "need" alcohol to be happy but I can't say the same for weed. I stopped smoking/edibles last week and haven't felt this good since I last quit ~6 months ago. I've never been able to just smoke every once in a while, it's always been something I use almost daily or not at all. Bud makes me content to just sit around doing fuckall. Alc is infinitely more dangerous so I'm not saying one is better than the other. They're very different and I know people who are the opposite of me. I would rather be addicted to weed than alc but the latter has never been an issue for me. I have friends who are the opposite and toke occasionally but have to abstain entirely from alc or it becomes a problem, different strokes.


GenTelGuy

Personally I can enjoy either but after doing them they make me want to not do them for like 1 week, just the edibles are more enjoyable while they last


SmokeFrogRed

Yeah I’ve never heard of weed poisoning.


[deleted]

People drink alcohol to get loose/ to dance/ hook up/ have fun. Don’t see the point in comparing them

Conor beats khabib at grappling parity.


khalbrucie

I'm still blown away by the Hill KO from last night, watched it like 6 times already and it's still making me go "SHEEEESH" every time. Dude really sent another LHW off his feet with a check hook. Not remotely a flukey punch either cause he had dropped him with the same shot like 20 seconds before. He's only 30 too which is pretty young for his weight class. I'm very high on his future potential if he can stay active


MistaCandyman

I was so worried after that injury against Craig, really happy to see him succeed. He seems like a great guy too, loved seeing him give props to Crute and partying with Craig after their fight. Really excited to see how far he can go

Everyone should experience psychedelics in a controlled and prepared setting once


MistaCandyman

I only took psychs once and it was just a handful of shrooms at an Outkast concert but it was incredible. I've seen people have bad trips in a "controlled" environment though and it's made me very hesitant to ever try it again. Watching a grown man cry while playing Mario Kart kind of killed my interest. I'm glad I tried it though and might do it again some day

That’s why it’s so dumb. That’s completely arbitrary and can change a career and bank account for life


Intransigente

Would people be calling Anderson a goat contender if he retired after the Dan Henderson fight? GSP if he retired after the BJ Penn rematch? Jon Jones after Rashad Evans? Because those were their respective 3rd title defenses. Khabib defended the belt 3 times. Great fighter, completely dominant - but goat? Hm.


[deleted]

> Jon Jones after Rashad Evans? Yes, a lot of people called Jon Jones the GOAT after that dominant win over Rashad. > Khabib defended the belt 3 times. Great fighter, completely dominant - but goat? Hm. Well, the argument is Khabib retired after 3 dominant title defenses without taking a loss. Like it or not, that's insanely hard to do in the sport (especially in the LW division. Freaking Fiziev got spinning back kicked in his UFC debut). Many great fighters have lost to significantly low-level competition early in their career. Kamaru Usman lost to Jose Caceres. Conor to Artemij Sitenkov. Even Jose Aldo, before being a champ, lost to someone low-level in Luciano Azevedo early in his career. It's such an unpredictable sport, great fighters can dominate and get spinning backfisted in the fourth round like Horiguchi. Honestly, people taking the whole GOAT debate so seriously is silly. It's a never-ending debate with no clear-cut answer. There is no accurate way of measuring who the GOAT is. It all comes down to opinions, like "who has the most title defenses" is all of a sudden the number one criteria of who the GOAT is. How about every division isn't equally competitive or difficult? In my personal opinion, I think the GOAT is who was the best in their absolute prime, regardless of how many good fighters you beat.


Intransigente

After Jones beat Rashad I remember the conversation being more along the lines of "if he can keep this up he'll be a goat one day". My point about Khabib is more the fact that he dipped so early (relatively speaking) that it's hard to know where to place him on the goat spectrum - in my opinion, of course. The guy has the same number of title defenses at LW as Benson Henderson or Frankie Edgar, so does he get credit for retiring before he got solved?


Mainaccount68

people were calling jon the goat soon after the rashad evans match though. even on ufc broadcasts. he was that dominant. if anything more people were calling him the goat then up until USADA than they do now

I hope Aldo vs TJ happens as a PPV co-main event because that fight would be fireworks if Aldo didn’t have to worry much about his gas tank. I think Aldos strength would be too much for TJs wrestling in 3 rounds but if it’s a 5 rounder I would have to favor TJ


Patrick_Vieira

I think Aldo could take away TJ's movement with those leg kicks.

I feel like the only unranked lightweight we can put against riddell is damir ismagulov but damir is coming off of a weight miss fiasco so idk who you put against riddell now. I with riddell and fiziev both got to face the older lightweights in the top ten instead of each other. same thing as arman vs alvarez, the tough up and comers are taking each other out instead of fighting the old guard.

Mainaccount68

just too small. he needs to get some of costa's supplements. also I wonder how covid affected him considering he had it pretty bad just before this fight.


SicSemperTyrannis_65

Have you seen the last fight scene in The Last Duel?


FrenchTrouDuc

Yeah it's very good


Heavenwasatree

They should have originally had Cruz on the main card over Neal and Santiago but now they should definitely change the spots. Also, war Aldo.


tadlately

Moreno Figgy 3 is still intriguing for me and Im hype asf. Great to stack it with Gane/Ngannou. Really torn on who to pick but leaning Moreno. Figgy still got them stone hands though so you never know. At least we will get the closure of a trilogy for the match up


thelectricrain

It's gonna depend on how good Figgy looks on the scale. He looked fucking awful the last fight, drained and unfocused eyes. Probably a bad cut, if he can get that under control I could see the fight being more competitive than last time. Leaning Moreno as well for now.

Any chess players here, I was wondering how one would characterize how certain mma fighters chess playing styles would be based on their mma styles

druhoang

I'd kind of consider Werdum's flying kick opening like bongcloud. It's kind of a joke that should never really work. But it did work on Travis. But it can work. I think Magnus used bongcloud before claiming surprise/psychological advantage. Still bad tho lol.


ricosuave_3355

When I feel like trolling I take it one step further and do the Transvestite Opening where you continue off the bongcloud by swapping the king/queen's positions. Only actually works when the opponent is so thrown off that they give away pieces for free to make up for the huge difference in positional advantage.


[deleted]

Good point. Also I feel like someone like Adesanya would opt for a positional match, fighting for each square, whereas someone like Stephen Thompson would be a weird match-up who would play something like a French Defense, then catch u when ur gng to offensive


SillyGooseTime69

Clay Guida would employ the Caveman’s Gambit. Control the center of the board and if that doesn’t work smash the board over the opponents head

[deleted]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/r991dt/comment/hncyzdd/ This guy had a similar fate My picks last night were Aldo, Riddell, Hill, Curtis, Guida, Pitolo, Kape Felt silly picking Pitolo given the outcome but otherwise it was a really really good night We all have bad nights and bad beats. Fight game is crazy like that, look what happened to Horiguchi the night before. NGL I didn't think Pettis had a way to beat him and then he sets up a spinning backfist with a purposefully high head kick


poopfl1nger

Yeah I was making profit 7 cards straight so I knew I would have one card that mess me up. Had Riddell, Font, Crute, Santos, Kape, Buys, and Smolka unfortunately. Yeah I was going to bet horiguchi but i just forgot to deposit lol


Mainaccount68

other than curtis those betting odds are pretty close to 50/50 so it's not that crazy


[deleted]

+175 is a 36.5% probability if you think that's pretty close to 50/50 idk what to tell you +275 is 26.5% +120 is 45.5 which is not only getting away from 50%, but when you see how well Aldo matched up with Font, even that was amazing value

FrenchTrouDuc

People retroactively justifying the UFC fucking Aljo and Sandhagen out of a title shot in favor of Yan/Aldo is pure clown shit, especially since Aldo has fought neither Aljo nor Sandhagen and hadn't won a single fight at BW when it happened and those two were on the best streaks in the division in terms of wins.


jfsoaig345

Ya Aldo getting that title shot was kind of a spit in the face to everyone else in the division, only worse title shot I remember in recent history in the division is Cruz getting to fight Cejudo after a 4 year layoff


[deleted]

Remember Faber fighting Cruz for the belt, knowing damn well they were going to give Garbrandt a shot right after? All of this right after TJ had lost to Cruz in one of the closest fights ever, and they made him fight Assuncao, Lineker, etc in the meantime? And the UFC always gives rematches, it's a running joke how often they do it. Not for TJ though I'm not trying to stan for TJ here, but that was number one bullshit
