Cymbols Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Teemu Packalén might want to consider a new career, has suffered really scary knock out losses in consecutive fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Khabib is easily the best MMA grappler I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishmadePunk Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Im not up to speed on how UFC rankings work. But have McGregor even fought since Khabib turned out his lights? If not, how the eff is he still ranked #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 If they're anything like the rankings boxing organisations use, they're put together on the trusty "Because we say so" model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 No, there’s a panel of like 14-15 media personnel who put together their own versions and they are aggregated. Thing is, they are all super obscure people and not at all mainstream, so some of the lists are fucking mental. A whole bunch of them had Neil Seery as a top 10 Flyweight...two years after he had retired, for example. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 To be fair to those 14-15 people, they would all still have McGregor ranked third, with Helwani and Okamoto (both ESPN and therefore now basically in-house UFC journalists) probably ranking him just behind Khabib, on the pretext that he's the ex-champ. It's basically just there for aesthetic purposes, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I’ve got a lot more time for Okamoto than Helwani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattu29 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Helwani is a snake, never liked that guy, such a fake guy. That MSG card is stacking up nicely, who needs a title fight to sell a PPV?!? Masvidal vs Nate Till vs Gastelum Johnny Walker vs Corey Anderson Derrick Lewis vs Blagoy Ivanov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 So Greg Hardy asked whether he can use his inhaler in-between rounds and his corner gave it to him and used it. The commission apparently allowed it because MMA is dumb as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I was also expecting that fight to be a quick squash for him and it turned into two low quality heavyweights turning in a snoozefest of a fight and it was super annoying. I was scared to use it as a piss break because I didn't want to miss Yair / Stephens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Sosoli isn’t terrible, but both are clearly regional level talent at this stage. Should be deep on the prelims if we have to have it. I’m not convinced by the contender series as a pathway for that reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
