  1. It looks like Rose trained for a three round fight, and Erin Blanchfield trained for a five round fight. Tale of two fights.
  2. I think the UFC commentary team may have inadvertently jinxed Marc-André Barriault. **Barriault gets into a wild brawl** "...This is where Barriault thrives..." **Barriault proceeds to run facefirst into a hard right hand that knocks him into another decade and then finished with a couple hard hammerfists**

  5. ...To be fair, Billy Kidman did almost kill Chavo with his SSP. Never has someone been a potential harm to both HIMSELF and his opponent with his finish like Kidman.
  6. I think he hurt his hip during his WCW run. That along with Herd not seeing him being able to draw money is the reason why he landed in WWF.
  7. Off the top of my mind, there are a couple matches* with Jaguar Yokota where there are tombstone reversals that are utterly spectacular in execution. They couldn't have been done any better. Jaguar is like 5'2"-5'3". *whichever one with Devil Masami where the arena clearly has no A/C cause their sweating profusely 5 minutes in and the August 85 match with Lioness Asuka
  8. Yep, one and the same. I do love that I saw on X a few months back that only guys 7 feet tall (even though that's a worked height to begin with) should be doing tombstone piledrivers. 1. That's literally erasure of folks below six feet tall who absolutely mastered the move before Taker ever did it. 2. They clearly don't remember when he was doing it like a modified shoulderbreaker.
  9. I think he believed Hogan because Koko freaked out on him the prior year. After that, he went out of his way to make sure he didn't hurt folks. It's funny cause IIRC Brian Adams freaked out on Kane for doing the same thing right when he started the Kane character. Knowing that Owen almost crippled Austin a couple months prior, I dunno if folks are going to cry for you cause someone put you in slight discomfort. Brian Adams was so hurt that he was magically on WCW TV three or four months later.
  10. As for fighter of the year, I would probably go Topuria just on quality of opposition alone. Poatan is just fighting a lot which is awesome and very refreshing for this day and age, but who out of the guys he is against would people pick to beat him? Merab also had good year as well. Same with Du Plessis. If Belal beats Shavkat, he could be on that list as well. This is the first year I can remember in a long time where you have clearly multiple candidates. And those are the folks who just come to mind immediately. If I do a little digging, there would probably be more.
  11. What Khazmat did was basically a pro wrestling move, but with real life consequences. After seeing what Fabio Wardley did to Frazer Clarke on the Beterbiev-Bivol undercard and now this, I would say it's been a tough stretch for jaws in combat sports.
  12. I think the talk of how everyone has figured him out should evaporate now. Beating Robert Whittaker when that's a tough ask for damn near everyone at 185 let alone in that fashion is astonishing. He's gotta face the winner of the next MW title fight. Only logical next step. Speaking of doing stuff that's never been seen before, Topuria just smoked Holloway when it was looking like we were heading towards a real scrap.

  15. You joke, but MMA folks on this board know Benson Henderson managed to become WEC and UFC champ despite literally messing with his hair every 10-15 seconds. With that said...I think one time he basically got knocked out right after doing that IIRC. I don't think it ever dawned on him that you either need to cut it or tie it up like the female fighters do.
  16. There really hasn't been a reaction AFAIK. That is probably a result of there being a fair amount of MMA fans who are lapsed pro wrestling fans or just casuals. I would also say that based on how Dana and previously Zuffa has ran UFC before it itself got purchased, MMA fans probably understood this would have very little bearing on the UFC overall. Just minor changes here and there. Now, it's going to be interesting how this goes five to ten years from now. A lot can happened between now and then.
