>spend a round and a half ineffectively fishing for a heel hook while taking 500 unanswered shots to the face
>end up so entangled in your opponent that your own knee gets accidentally destroyed during a sweep
Fairly high IQ maneuver by Fig.

The Belal disrespect will continue until morale improves.

I love watching Valentina fight but it's weird that no one addresses the elephant in the room of her basically being some sort of lab-grown KGB asset.

Multiple languages, really into something as harmless as dancing because that's a fun distraction. Also just so happens to be an expert markswoman who could choke 99.9% of people she meets to death before they'd even realise what's happening.

Completely normal skills for someone to concurrently develop during their life and not at all someone being trained to be a merciless killing machine.

Thug Rose plays classical piano, gardens and builds sustainable housing in third world shitholes. She talked about how when you dedicate so much of your life to destruction you have to offset it with something creative or nurturing. The dancing thing isn't that weird in that regard. Anyway if you have the willpower and dedication and distress tolerance to become the best in the world at something, that's typically transferable to other pursuits unless you have some other kind of impediment.

And shooting is based, everyone should do it.

I have PTSD and I shoot and lift because I've found that the more of a threat I make myself, the less threatened I feel, and the more I'm able to relax and integrate into civilization; it's not hard for me to believe the same phenomenon would apply to a 125lb 5'5" woman who could otherwise be beaten to death by half the population. I respect her for building herself up.

Is anyone excited for this weekend's card? Enjoy, because we're getting two mid fight nights for the rest of the month. And after that, another 5 round manhandling by Merab. Remember how hyped we were for UFC 300 last year? Ilia vs Holloway? This year's been so dull.

I am pumped. Going to go to a sports bar to watch it with some friends of mine. Eat some bar food, get some drinks and just have a nice evening watching some decent fights. Best fight card this year that I can remember. 314 was trash and most of the fight nights have been pure garbage (from a card perspective)

I watch every UFC event including early prelims and prelims but fuck me it is getting hard to stay committed to it.

I'm sure if someone pulled the stats i'm 100% wrong but the majority of fights seem to go the distance now and a bunch of them are a total coin flip as to who won. I don't know if it's the level of training for fighters now or just way too efficient match-making but guys just seem to cancel each other out most of the time.

Also, it feels like most cards consist of 90% welter-weight and lower fights even if you took the women out.

You answered your own question:

The lower the weight class, the less likely a finish. Though that comes entirely down to KOs, subs are pretty much even across the board.

I just treat anything that goes to decision as a draw on principle -- not as a commentary on fighter performance but rather on how dogshit and arbitrary the decisions often are.

But at the end of the day I'm just happy to watch MMA, every time I try to watch boxing I realize how fucking good we have it, that shit is boring as fuck.

True. I like most of the fighters on the main card, but none of these are really must see fights except Belal and Jack, and that's only because it determines the main event of 317.
 
>3 of the last 7 fights are WMMA slop
Uncle Daner must really fucking hate Snow India
