That’s an absolute one off. Clearly. With Porier, Tony, Edson, anyone..
That's a defect not a feature.
He's bland. He's got exceptional boxing, when he's in Gaethje form, but otherwise, he's quite unspectacular.
I do think that the Diaz brothers have brilliant cardio. They last 5 rounds like it is nothing. You have a fair point about Nate having an issue going up against Woodley or Usman as they are terrific wrestlers. But Diaz is very good off his back so he might not try to defend the takedowns at all. Saves a lot of energy that way. Remember how Woodley refused to get into Maia's guard? Would be the same situation here and Diaz's cardio may hold up fine. The fight may also turn into a super boring contest though (for casual fans).
That's not a good thing for them. Hopefully they grow up.
You’d have to be an absolute idiot to roll with Maia. He’s as good as they come. Imagine if he wanted to kill you for 25 minutes, he’d be the fecking best figher of all time!
Leaving aside him behaving like a prick after the McGregor fight, how about the video of him mocking the homeless guy? Or his comments about female fighters staying in the home and finishing their husbands instead? That's without getting into the rather more nuanced issue of his ties with Ramzan Kadyrov, author of actual gay purges.
It usually has his opponent's blood caked on after he mauls them.
MMA is different from professional sports. I played basketball for my university team (nowhere close to professional as you) and now I have trained in mma for about four and a half years (I am a two stripe blue belt in bjj too). Trust me, I have had my share of sports and 10k running, but nothing prepared me for what I was about to experience in the cage. Would suggest you join a fight gym yourself and see it for yourself. Trust me, you have no idea how tiring wrestling and bjj can be. Add striking to the mix and it's even more difficult. And how Diaz and a few other fighters can last 25 mins, it's nothing short of mind boggling.
What the hell does that even mean!
I absolutely agree with you on every point, but first and foremost, it’s difficult to judge a group Muslim folk in USA.
i'll copy my edit:
He's a different animal now at lightweight.
I’ve never been inside a cage but I think I have been put under a lot of duress. I absolutely cannot think now some fighters would cope under BUDS, SASR selection.. to whom, I must underline, anyone is open to.
I didn't see that female fighter quote but I've seen the homeless video... I swear that's not Khabib in the video? But it does sound like him behind the camera.
The bicep is a small muscle really and tensing it at 100% with quickly fatigue that muscle and its surrounding muscles.Get a cushion and squeeze it as hard as you can with your bicep for about 20 seconds and see if it hurts
Danis and McGregor smashed glass in his team mates face and called him a terrorist.
Damien Maia is awesome, BJJ is a thing of beauty. What sports did you do Maxi?
They're thugs too. I don't like McGregor either
I don't think he's a horrible person but he's certainly no saint either and has a lot to answer for following the Artem incident, constantly yucking it up with Kadyrov, and his behavior immediately after the Conor fight. So far all his talk about humility and donating to charities etc., he is still a work in progress in terms of living up to those ideals through his own behavior.
Was your professional sport darts or Golf?
Its like alternate universe amateur hour in here all of a sudden. Lesnar is a flyweight, DC is a welter weight and the Diaz brothers don't have great cardio.
Nobody gives a feck if something is acceptable in rural Dagestan. The UFC is an American organization with a largely American viewership, and who make most of their money in the US, so the framing is always going to be from an American or Western perspective.
Umm 99.99% of the professional fighters wont last a BUDS or SASR selection. Same way, 100 percent of the soldiers who pass the SASR or BUDS won't last in a cage against the top guys. Different skill sets. Not sure what you're trying to put across.
It has a 75% fail rate as well but I agree totally different training. 1 set trains for maximum output, power and recovery in a short period of time. The other is designed to test your mental toughness more so than just your fitness.
I gave up last night
What the hell are you talking about?!
He said he doesn't care for Conor's antics either. Khabib is obviously more in focus at the moment since he just fought less than 24 hours ago.
The Kadyrov stuff isn't so clear cut mate. My friend is from that part of the world and said if a dictator attaches himself to you, it's best you act civil with them. Don't have to be best buds but you can't antagonize them either unless you want your family and loved ones in danger.
"Excuse their Thug bullshit"
Where?
Khabib doesn't have blood bro. He's all stone inside.
I had this as audio on my phone yesterday while ufc was on tv. But they talk so much shit that has nothing to do with the fight it's sometimes annoying.
yeah, thats a load of rubbish. You seem very narrow minded and ignorant.
Rogan needs to stop inviting Schaub back. He offers very little beyond what the others do.
