MMA & UFC General - Featuring Bellator MMA & Rizin Fighting Federation

I'm so MATTV that Merab keeps winning. I don't care how good his wrestling and cardio is, 11 out of 12 wins by decision since getting to the UFC is extremely gay. Has there ever been another champ with a worse ratio of decisions to finishes? Even Belal gets it done more often.
GSP won a lot by decision. He went 10-0 in his last fights and eight were won by decision. Pretty much any title fight at 170 and down is going to be won by decision. Very few champions are stupid enough to risk damage just to entertain the casuals and drunks that don't understand the sport. The finish rate for the sport is usually around 50% but that's skewed by the low level brawlers on 10K/10K contracts that just swing at each other until someone is unconscious.

You'd probably be one of those guys complaining that GSP 'sucked and fought gay' during his reign. Just watch boxing or kickboxing. Merab's last fight was probably the best 135 title fight of all time. If you don't like that fight then you don't like MMA.
 
Islam humiliates another BJJ black belt (who give him? We have to check that one). I know Islam has his own weapons (wrestling, judo, sambo) but not even Sakuraba was this hellbent on embarrassing the pajama boys like Islam (Moicano, Poirier, Oliveira, Moises, Hooker, Dober). Islam is pretty much out of challengers at 155. Short of Ilia Topuira coming up from 145 or reaching down and grabbing Paddy Pimblett for the meme value, Islam's only plays are to pull a Khabib and retire or make the move up to 170.

Likewise, Merab has no clear challengers except for do-overs against Yan or O'Malley.

I think it's time that the MMA community accepts that BJJ only really works reliably against clueless kickboxers.

Eastern European mystery meat wrestling and US college wrestling beats it 99.9% of the time because BJJ is predictable as fuck and everyone skilled in wrestling knows how to easily counter the handful of techniques it uses.

When you get two decent BJJ guys going up against each other they usually stay on their feet and work to a boring decision because they both know the other guy knows how to completely defend against any grappling they could possibly attempt.
 
I really want whatever they shoot into those Georgians. Just watched the Merab fight again and I’d love for UFC to strap a heart rate monitor on him for his next bout. Dude only takes a few deep breaths in between rounds. His ability to just shoot for takedowns and run around for 5 grueling rounds is unreal.
Has he always chewed his mouthguard like he just did an addy rail or is that a recent development?

Lol. The translator said that Khabib told him to knock off the takedown attempts because they were doing fuck all, and start punching at range. Khabib is supposed to be this MMA deity. Would the MMA deity tell his pupil to punch with a broken hand? His hand would have been broken if he had won too, I’d bet.

These guys would be more tolerable if they and their fans would shut the fuck up

If Umar had won, he would've used the broken hand excuse to overcome adversity. If he lost, he would've used the broken hand excuse to cope.

Khabib's coaching was him screaming unintelligible Russian to Umar. The main reason I hate Dagestanians is because they ruin the fucking sport by wrestlefucking every fighter and their retard fans will hail them as the greatest to ever do it.
 
Moicano took no damage and got a huge paycheck. Likely the largest paycheck he will ever receive in his career. Mission accomplished. Plus, he’s now earned that coveted “company man” badge within the UFC. Might even see him fight again in April or May.

I’m still on the copium myself but when you consider the dude’s mission is strictly to earn money, you can hardly do better than being choked out in within a couple of minutes and earning 500,000+ dollars. Way better than getting knocked around for 5 rounds just to lose.

Was his shoulder still fucked up?

GSP in his UFC tenure had 8 finishes in 18 wins, they're really not comparable. He was actually trying to finish fights, Merab doesn't have a single submission in the UFC which is ridiculous for someone who's primarily a grappler. I see what you're saying that a champ will usually fight safer but Merab has always been this way. He's a grappling point fighter which is the least entertaining style possible.

Best 135 title fight? And you're calling people drunks? How about Cruz vs Mighty Mouse or Faber? "Pretty much any title fight at 170 and down is going to be won by decision"? Have you never heard of lightweight? You'd have to go back to the Benson Henderson era for a time when most title fights at 155 were being won by decision, in fact I'm pretty sure the majority of all lightweight title fights have ended with a finish.

Usually I'd agree but it's funny seeing him embarrass other wrestlers like Cejudo or give Khabib a heart attack screaming at Umar. His striking technique looks pretty bad and he isn't a big submission threat so most of his fights are boring. Prime example of a fighter who's great enough at one aspect of the sport that he doesn't need to be good at other stuff.

The fans are pretty obnoxious especially when it's Arabs and Pakis pretending theyre hot shit because of shared religious ties to the cliff dwellers.

Iirc he explained in a few interviews that it's been like that after an older injury and people only started noticing once he went on a streak last year. Maybe the surgery to fix it would take him out for awhile and he doesn't want to lose out on fights/money late in his career.

I like Money Moicano, but his ceiling is a #5-6 ranked gatekeeper of 155.

Alex Pereira well and truly broke this buck and let his son Jiri sweep up the pieces like any good father would.

Look, Merab being a weird spaz is more entertaining than watching Merab fight. The other side of that is it's not Merab's job to be on anybody else's highlight reel. It is the job of his opponent's to protect their manhood from 25 minutes of Georgian wrestlefucking and so far, most of the division has failed at their job.
 
They really did think they won that fight. To be fair, I’m surprised they were allowed to lose. I was so astonished to see how many people thought Umar won, but then I dug deeper and found that most people who think that are also Muslim.

Honest question, do Muslim people actually like MMA, or do they only watch to cheer their fellow Muslims on? Muslim MMA “fans” have some of the most retarded takes I’ve ever read.

They all share a collective hive mind. They will call non-muslim fighters chicken for losing, but cannot handle when the shoe is on the other foot. Just type "Umar" on twitter and go through the comment section of any post and you will see guys begging for a rematch no matter how unearned it is, not to mention the fact Umar was lucky to have been gifted the shot in the first place, or making excuses. They claim they want to see it again because they claim it was close (It wasn't, Merab muscled Umar around in the later rounds and outstruck him lol). Here's some of what I found just now

Funny that they mention Umar's broken hand, but not Merab's broken back, the cut he had in his leg that exposed his tibia a few days prior that barely closed up and his staph infection and the fact he put a pace on him regardless.

Kenny here is a delusional Izzy fan who rides the fuck out of black and dagestani fighters he likes. He's goes and debates with youtubers and randos on the internet and makes a big ass of himself. I don't want to derail the thread, so do tell if you guys want to see more of him.

Money Moicano reveals he made more than 950k from his Islam fight.

I hate Kenny so fucking much. He is the type of faggot to call Usman and Izzy top 5 over people like GSP purely because they are "African brothers". Part of me really thinks he's some troll that gets off on saying the most retarded MMA takes.

If anyone wants to know Kenny's takes, this video perfectly describes it.
