supremebve Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Vicente Luque may be my favorite fighter to watch right now. Then again Justin Gaethje and Tony Ferguson are in the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again Justin Gaethje and Tony Ferguson are in the main event. It's crazy how he was just some dude on the ATT vs. Blackzilian TUF season when they didn't have the regular single elimination tournament. The only people with talent where Usman, Michael Graves, and Luque. However, due to the structure of the show, Hayder Hassan was in the finals because he could KO some random Florida regional guys. And what happened in the finals? Usman ate his ass up (I know phrasing, but w/e). Then, Luque choked him unconscious in the rematch from off the show. I mean I know that season was to allow Dan Lambert and Glen Robinson to act a fool, but that season made no fucking sense when it came to determining who was the best.

Don't like it but I'm thirsty. empty arena UFC is giving me some hope that empty arena team sports may be tolerable for a short while. Empty arena wrestling doesn't work for me either. Which is odd, considering IWA-MS was fairly tolerable in the mid-00's with ten or 20 people in the seats (and Joe, Punk, and AJ in the ring). And, when I lived in California, I attended a lot of small indy shows with fewer people in the bldg. than IWA-MS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 I'll take empty arena NBA if it is interesting as the end of the ASG. That was as fun as a pickup game can be. Otherwise, I'm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is the wrestling at it's best requires a give and take with the crowd. Without that possibility, something feels like its missing. MMA at it's best is beautiful violence, and you can hear the impact of that violence without the crowd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I’ll be honest guys, lockdown + alcohol * lack of live sports means I’m all in this evening. My Scottish wife is off to bed and I’m getting a free pass for some sports. NB- I’m well aware of the ass kicking Im getting next week.

supremebve Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 So they're just going to keep saying how good Olynek's physique looks, but we're just not going to acknowledge that Verdum looks like his training regiment consisted of nothing but lifting his fork? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) That first round was a 10-8, was it not? Pure striking domination for the entire round. edit: fuck everything, I need an Aleksei Oleinik title win in my life right now. double edit: approaching Dada/Kimbo levels of fatigue.

The worst part about spending the first round playing the part of a heavy bag is that he probably could have won this fight easily if he just took him down and grappled with him. He got almost every takedown he wanted, and won every grappling exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) There were a lot of holes for Aleksei to escape positions and submissions on the ground though. edit: WOW. Didn't see that coming, was hoping a draw was the best he could get after he clearly lost rounds 2 and 3. Edited May 10, 2020 by Oyaji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The difference in the careers of Pettis and Cowboy is that Cowboy is better in every way except Pettis is so much more durable. Pettis can take any and everything that you can dish out without taking a step back, but Cowboy can't whether punishment nearly as well. Pettis just doesn't have the technical foundation to actually reach his peak. 5 minutes ago, The Natural said: Even Pettis' is surprised that he got the judges decision. Really, I thought Pettis clearly won that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
