  1. The kicker is, early days it was $75k.. they actually reduced it.

  2. Santos is on the way out, but still a great performance by Hill.

  3.  @pliit2101  The most clownish thing a person can say in a MMA thread, is ‘casual’.

  4.  @sorelvio79  Sucks when that happens, however, take comfort in the fact I fully understand the premise of your point.

  5.  @Raiders67  This is also what I saw, but there are things for Jamal to take away, he went rounds, it was a hard fight, he wore some on the chin and didn’t fold. The dude is drinking a loooooot of his own coolaide though.

  6.  @sorelvio79  Mentally, it’s hard to stay hungry to the point required to compete at that level. Physically, the little injuries pile up. It’s a young man’s game. 36 is not an old man, but it’s an ageing fighter.

  7.  @sorelvio79  Sure, you missed your opportunity to list Arlovski.. the ability to go longer doesn’t mean you stay in your prime, it just means the drop off isn’t as bad as lower classes. What you’re not considering is, they’re not machines, drive fades, and niggling injuries limit your training capacity, which limits your fight capacity. With age people lose the desire to get up at 4am and run themselves to the point of vomiting 7 days a week. Understandable. DC was still there mentally to fight, but his body was gone, his career ended at around 40, on a loss. Jan would never have been champ if Jones wasn’t a fuck up, same with Glover.. both on the backs of losses, look like they’re slowing down… because they are. Stipe is 39.. he was last on top at 36-37….. why make things up? It seems like these guys start to fold in their late 30’s.. because they’re ageing fighters.

  8.  @sorelvio79  Mighty Mouse was as dominant as Jones, but being 5’3” he never got respect, people just said his competitors were bad, the truth was, the dude was winning title fights with flying arm bars because he was a truly exceptional talent. Fair with Jones though, he was something else during his run. If he wasn’t a fuck up he would have set record that nobody would ever come close to.

  9.  @sorelvio79  Then you could say that about LHW and HW.. other end of the scale. Not as many fighters, as you said, the numbers are stacked in the middle. So is it only FW/LW/MW that we rate because that’s the average size? In which case, if you’re going to write off DJ, you have to write off Jones/DC/Stipe/etc. FLW is less popular because of size not because there were no fighters to fill the division. DJ finished an Olympic gold medallist in about a minute.. is that sub par competition? HW is actually the hardest division to find fighters for, they were worried the division will die a while back just due to lack of bodies. I’m a bum, I train for fun, but I have a big body. I was getting (clinch) rounds at TMT/Top Team Phuket against legitimate pro fighters because there just wasn’t enough big bodies for fighters to train with. DJ was exceptional, Rogan wholeheartedly called him the greatest fighter to ever live, and he wasn’t being paid to say that like with Rousey/McGreger because Dana didn’t like DJ. It’s interesting to see the bias against DJ though. Jones dominated his division, people say he’s amazing DJ did the same, it’s due to a weak division Yet DJ is the technically superior of the 2 fighters, this isn’t debatable. If you can point out another fighter capable of a suplex to mid air arm bar transition in round 5 of a title fight, I’d love to know who they are. I think they were both exceptional fighters. DJ never popped for peds though. So it’s DJ for me.

  10. Della Maddalena is a far more complete fighter, but I assume you have no idea who that is.

  13.  @Imozep4Live  It was really bad. I didn’t see a single round in the entire contender series posted this week that was worse than that round. Every single round of every fight was better than the round this person is chatting on.

  14.  @ymkyourmoneyking8157  If a guy like that, on his way out, that just had a child, and used to be a middleweight is taking you down, and gassing you so badly you can barely stand after 3.5 rounds, a legitimate LHW grappler will drown you. Stop fanboying so hard, man. Was a good fight for him, but it showed a lot of weaknesses.

  15.  @ymkyourmoneyking8157  Why would that make me emotional, son?

  16.  @axoneman7513  Correct, but fanboys gonna fanboy. I even said the dude had a good fight and ‘money king’ still got up in his feelings. If Hill is smart he will go away and work on what got exposed, if he has the mentality of ‘money king’ then he will say he doesn’t have any holes, and next fight will get wrestlefucked.

  19.  @ymkyourmoneyking8157  “It was a good fight for him, but it showed a lot of weaknesses” “If he’s smart he will go away and work on what was exposed” This is an honest appraisal of an upcoming fighter. Imagine responding to this with “why you crying/mad/hater lmfao”. Are you 13-15 years old, or are you an emotionally stunted adult?

  20.  @ymkyourmoneyking8157  Mate there’s a difference between being ‘emotional’ and pointing out that you’re an illiterate child. Like I said, then quoted, it was a good fight for him, but it exposed a lot of holes.. stop fanboying so hard that you feel compelled to white knight if someone doesn’t say the dude is better than Jon Jones. If he doesn’t acknowledge the fact that he was gassed after 3.5 rounds, he won’t address it. What about this statement upsets you? If he doesn’t acknowledge the fact an over the hill ex-MW striker was able to take him down, and address it, a wrestler WILL wrestle fuck him. What about this statement upsets you? Tell me why those statements take you to a dark place.. I’m all ears. Otherwise, what exactly is your point?

  21. Straight up though, I haven’t seen a card this year that was as good as week 2 contender series. That show is hands down the best fighting you will see. Contracted fighters on main event cards just don’t go at it the same way. Most of them are just trying not to lose.

  23. Herb Dean is also renowned for allowing black fighters to poke eyes.
