So who do you think wins if they match up in MMA for a third time? Curious to hear your honest opinion.

I don't get why having estrogen is considered a bad thing? Like, do you not like women or something?

Yes, because I want to see Pereira end Izzy once and for all. But no, he doesn't deserve it.

Eh, I'm not saying it would have been better for him if he was in the UFC, but it would have given us some really fun matchups that we didn't get in Bellator. And agreed about the pretend MMA fans, he didn't need to go to the UFC to make an incredible resume.

Nah just saw a news article about him so I was thinking about him and the matchups we never got to see in the UFC.

Hmm, I see what your saying and without actually seeing them fight it's hard to say, but I think Pitbulls style of striking matches pretty well with both of them. I'm not sure how much of a pace they would be able to push without eating counters that I'm not sure Volk could take. Holloways chin...

Huh, that's interesting. Shame how you don't hear much about him these days then.

Hmm, I think the Sergio fight wasn't a great example of Patricio's skills as he was down a weight class where he has never competed before and is clearly out of prime by now. Plus, I think people under rate Sergio, he's evolved into a damn good striker and he's super fast, not many UFC fighters...

Chandler has been competitive in all his fights. Record doesn't tell the whole story and Pitbull beat him more easily than any of Gaethje/Poirer/Oliveira did. Who would you put as a greater fighter record wise than Pitbull? Legit interested to hear some other names. I wasn't around in the...

He had more than 1/2 moments against Oliveira though. That's just disingenuous. Plus, he had a back and forth first round with Poirer, he hurt him badly in the first round (obviously then getting hurt badly in return) and then won the second with his grappling on all scorecards. Again, I reckon...

He dominated Oliveira for a round, he was 3 punches away from a stoppage and the LW strap. I'd say that's competitive (or "done pretty good" against the top of the division). Plus, he had Gaethje hurt real bad, and won the second round by a lot against Poirer. Again, I reckon what I said was...

Yeah agreed. I tend to think he matches up pretty well stylistically against both Max and Volk. Probably slightly better against Volk than Max though. Idk who wins those two fights but would have been interesting and close imo. Him vs Aldo would have been an absolute banger as well. It's a...

He beat Chandler who has done pretty well against the elite of 155. What's your reasoning for thinking the top of 145 eats him? I mean obviously mma math doesn't work but I think it's a decent example of his skill.

Patricio in my opinion is probably the second best fighter (outside of Fedor) that we never got to see in the UFC. His run in Bellator was/is insane, and it's a damn shame we never got to see him fight the likes of Aldo, Holloway, Volk, Mendes, Conor, and test himself at 155 against whoever was...

I love this thread. Great work TS.

I'm not saying there has been successful transitions, I'm saying I think AFL would be a perfect sport to transition from. I didn't mention rugby because I don't know much about it and other people had already mentioned it.

I love your new pfp gif. That cat literally unhinges its jaw like a snake to bit that dudes leg. Hilarious!

Aussie Rule Football (AFL) I feel would be perfect for MMA. A great mix of stamina, hand/foot eye coordination, explosiveness, strategy, and toughness.

Sounds like your moral compass is on point. Good on you sir.
