Stylebender was soooo good, been a fan of him since the start.

But something wasn't right about Costa, Adesanya would have won either way, but Costa didn't do anything and looked.

Mexes5 · 29-09-2020, 19:09

Adesanya has fans? he's probably the biggest helmet on the planet

I don't follow mma like I used to.

But Adesanya does have an impressive skill set

What are you talking about? What do you mean with helmet?

Same here...

What's your reason?

I just drowned in the amount of events. I used to love the stacked cards.

Means he's a dick. Guy is over 30 & acts about 12, he's even worse than Covington IMO, although both are great fighters undeniably.

& yeah there are far too many events, so many watered down cards - less is more always, alot of the great veterans have retired the past couple years too

Lots of new faces.

MilanMB · 01-10-2020, 10:23

Meh I don't care about their persona, just interested in their fighting. And yes Covington is also the real deal, although his style bores me unlike Adesanya.

MilanMB · 01-10-2020, 10:58

and btw, "guy is over 30 but acts like 12" is not a bad thing in my book. age shouldn't define one.

Same as you. Way too many fighters and events to really care.

Plus as I?ve gotten older, I went from hating Ricardo Arona to modeling my bjj game after his grappling style

I also no longer appreciate slug fests, I guess I have a higher demand for techniques so I find a lot of fights not as interesting as I would if I was younger

Az. · 02-10-2020, 14:09

I don't watch many events likewise, but if you think about it, nothing has really changed. The cards that have relevant title fights, are always stacked bar injuries, which happened before as well.

It's just that in between these cards, there's a lot of shit content, that you can just skip. On another note, i'm hoping Stephen Thompson can make another run at a title fight.

MilanMB · 02-10-2020, 16:51

Uhhm the cards are NOT stacked like before are u high?

There have been at least the same number of cards with 2-3 title fights in them/year since they introduced more content.

Curupira · 07-10-2020, 14:42

Also a lot of this manufactured personas and hype.

Too WWE like for me. I don't mind the guys who are good at it doing it, but some of the interviews with some fighters trying to do that are just cringe.

Loma gonna make lopez quit on the stool.

Tantalis · 18-10-2020, 08:43

Grats to lopez surprised me.

Korean Zombie - cool guy, but why/how was he ever a contender

Congo Powers · 21-10-2020, 15:59

Ortega looked nice, that spinning elbow was so sick

Any chance for Gaethje?

Mexes5 · 21-10-2020, 18:43

I think so, I have money on Gaethje, if he can't get it done Khabib retires undefeated I would've thought.
