    Media Israel Adesanya grapples decorated high-school wrestler Logan Paul

    He doesn't. He got bodied by Jan Blachowicz and couldn't get back up, life alert.

    Aljamain Sterling has had the strangest title reign ever

    I had Cejudo 3-2, realistically most of the rounds could have went either way. Cejudo won the only two decisive rounds, 2 and 5 I think. Or was it 3 and 5? Fight sucked.

    How big is the gap between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones (in greatness)

    To an extent, yes it does. Fully? No.
  4. No Skill Gap

    Jones only started showing interest in fighting Miocic after the latter got knocked out.

    Maybe a bit of that, a calculated move. But also, who exactly is the next best HW? People want to see Blaydes fight because they hope he can out wrestle Jones and beat him, people who don't like Jon Jones. But what has Blaydes ever done at HW? Relative gatekeeper, doesn't deserve a title shot...

    How big is the gap between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones (in greatness)

    No. Context matters it always does, but Silva's prime was at a later age. He had less miles at an equivalent age than Fedor or Penn. And losing that much simply hurts your legacy. To ignore a 1-7-1 run is retarded. It significantly dampers a legacy. Otherwise we'd be here talking about Silva...

    The myth of Nate Diaz cardio.

    Depends. Is it the Woodley that took down Till or the Woodley who never wrestled again for some reason? I don't put too much weight into what fighters say in interviews and stuff either, GSP tends to be nice and plays both sides of the fence when talking about matchups from what I've seen. Eh.

    How big is the gap between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones (in greatness)

    I understand what you said but it's not a true analogy, it's not an equivalency. So for example, Nick Diaz beat BJ Penn once, he's basically the LW champion then? Griffin was not the champion. That's how individual sports work. Sure, Silva could have likely beat Griffin at 205 while the latter...

    How big is the gap between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones (in greatness)

    No I insulted you because your take was awful. Sorry though, don't mean to be a dick. Jones isn't my hero. My favorite fighter is GSP, and I find it extremely hard to be intellectually honest without being Jones #1 ever. You saying that Jones winning the HW title not changing his legacy is...

    The myth of Nate Diaz cardio.

    I value them. I think it's silly to denote them as "WW" when they are effectively two LW fighters who didn't cut weight. But maybe you have a point in that McGregor was coming up from FW and Diaz was a legitimate LW/WW tweener who competed at 170 before and perhaps did have a size advantage...

    How big is the gap between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones (in greatness)

    That's insane to say, obviously biased. Moving up and winning the HW title to become double champ doesn't "move the needle any"? Lmao. Comical take. Probably one of the guys who slapped each other's asses about Jones never moving to HW ever. And sure doubting him fighting again or at HW was...

    How big is the gap between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones (in greatness)

    1. Jon Jones has a significantly to way better quality of competition. 2. Jones gained double champ status, bonus of HW division and raping Gane in 30 seconds. 3. Silva generally ranks higher due to style and dominance, matrix-like clowning and finishes of opponents, but Jones at least early...

    The myth of Nate Diaz cardio.

    That's fair. I tend to agree. I'd say the one exception is the fact Diaz beat McGregor, then had an extremely close loss to him right after. And this was sandwiched in between McGregor KOing the FW GOAT in Aldo and then beating the LW champion in Alvarez. That singular win is better than any...

    The myth of Nate Diaz cardio.

    "championship fighter" aka you're emotional and subjective and like Nick Diaz better. Why is he a championship level fighter because he won titles against very weak competition in lesser orgs where the WW division was clearly much worse than in the UFC? He lost the EliteXC title fight to KJ...

    The myth of Nate Diaz cardio.

    eh Nate Diaz kind of has a better legacy than Nick at this point and has fought better fighters and has better wins (outside of GSP, who Nick promptly got wrestle fucked by anyway).

    Khabibs top 15 GOAT list

    Idk it's so tough to say. We don't have a complete career of the fighter and see - Aldo, Penn, Cruz, Fedor, even Holloway now, McGregor, etc. These guys continue to fight then fall off a cliff, even guys with lesser legacies that once burned bright like a Woodley or Weidman. I guess I'd have...

    Where is all the hype for Max Holloway? Is no one excited?

    I'm far more excited for Allen personally. Why should there be hype for Holloway? Obviously an all-time great FW but he has no path to a title shot at this point, he's 0-3 against Volk. He's a high end gatekeeper now. He should move to LW honestly, but that didn't go well last time.

    Khabibs top 15 GOAT list

    Yeah it's pretty bad. Khabib showing zero intellectual integrity here and tons of bias, but hey it's his list. The first 4, or really 5, aren't bad though. Just not the order I'd put them in. I'm a huge GSP fan, but at this point I think you really have to say: 1. Jon Jones 2. GSP Then it...

    Khabibs top 15 GOAT list

    Why would it be absurd? Mighty Mouse was an exciting fighter but what was his quality of competition exactly? Pretty dogshit. Cejudo is 1-1 against him, they split. Sure you can argue Johnson could have or should have won that decision, but he lost. He also lost to some random in One, he also...

    Khabibs top 15 GOAT list

    Fedor continues to be mega overrated. Makes sense though, Russian bias there. And I like Fedor but come on bro, fuck off he ain't 1.

    News Alex's next fight will be at 205

    Agreed, which would happen to Izzy too. Not sure why MW has zero wrestlers in it. Perreira needs favorable matchups to succeed at LHW. Even guys who aren't wrestlers might take him down with ease, clearly, like Jan did to Izzy and Izzy himself did to Perreira at 185.
