    Romero is Spanish for "Ouch"

    At this point, I don't think the opponent matters. If this fight against Alvarez did really big business, he can fight a broomstick and basically get a similar number.

    Not sure how much Conor's bad wheel played in that, but Mendes has shown himself to be a much more effective wrestler than Alvarez. It's just that Mendes doing the Koscheck thing and abandoning his wrestling has kinda hid that. Alvarez isn't a wrestleboxer as most people think he is. Not like a Frankie Edgar, who can box your ears off, stay away, and still somehow change levels quickly. Alvarez can get clutch takedowns, but his bread and butter is being able to exchange at a moment's notice. However, that's not a good recipe to fight Conor McGregor. I don't think we need anymore proof of that.

    I mean Eddie has been dropped by dudes who are like 1/10 as good as Conor McGregor. Are we shocked that the dude with one of the best left hands we've seen in MMA dropped him multiple times?

    Eddie shot like 5 takedowns and got stuffed on everyone of them.

    At no point...no point...was Eddie Alvarez was in that fight.

    I like how I mentioned Audio Two, and Conor uses the song that samples Top Billin.

    Who's going to tell Yoel Romero what to do? You can tell him but I don't think he's going to listen.

    Romero and Khabib would be the best Cold War era tag team ever.

    Miesha has been mentally checked out of the sport ever since the walkout against Nunes.
  11. Elsalvajeloco
    Personally, I had it 29-28 Edgar. Edgar wants to fight on UFC 209 in Brooklyn.
  12. Elsalvajeloco
    Khabib is the greatest Russian heel ever.

    Hi, Sapo *right hook to his domepiece* Bye, Sapo

    American Top Team not having a good start tonight. Vicente Luque is so much better than his record.

    Rap is not something that's confined to just English speaking territories. Plus, Biggie is one of the most famous MCs of all time and that's from his earliest hit song. It's not like she is out there quoting the Cold Crush Brothers, EPMD, or Audio Two.

    He just did an ode to both Biggie and Joe Frazier this week with the Coogi sweater and white/red getup respectively. Pretty sure pro wrestling culture isn't exactly that obscure to him.

    Faber in the leadup to the third Dominick Cruz was pretty bad. Tito Ortiz probably should have his own category, but that's probably not fair since anything he tries to do cognitive is some hamster-on-a-wheel type shit.

    I like how Joanna knows how to troll everyone.

    Apparently you never seen these fighters on fight week because 85-90% of the fighters are absolutely miserable come weigh-in. We're not talking just 1 or 2 pounds. You can probably burn that off jogging around the fighter hotel so this early morning thing wouldn't be an issue at all. We're talking upwards of 10-15 pounds (probably more for certain fighters) prior to that last cut down. If you're doing that the day before the fight, you can't eat or drink anything until you've burned that weight off and weigh in. Previously, you were allowed one more attempt after failing to make weight. That's an extra 30-45 minutes of that if you even bothered to make a legit attempt. We're just talking about simple weight management, which can be easily tracked. If you're 5-10 pounds away from the weight class limit when you're body hits the wall, then you have an issue that you personally need to solve. If you don't want to deprive yourself of food and want to enjoy camp a little more, you probably should move up a weight class. That's just it. The UFC has stressed you need to be in within a certain limit prior to your arrival to the destination of the fight. If you respect that, it shouldn't be that hard. If you don't respect that, everything that happens after that is on you as a fighter.

    And that's on Miesha really. It's not like the window to weigh in changed. The commissions aren't going to let you just walk around dehydrated for 6-8 hours the day before the fight anymore.
