When I think champs I think Jon Jones, GSP, Conor McGregor. You know, guys who can take a loss.

GSP quit due to mental weakness. Jon Jones looked terrible in his last fight compared to all previous bouts and got popped by USADA. Conor refused to defend his title to the point of losing it.

GSP quit due to injuries and cumulative damage (CTE symptoms). Jon Jones did look like shit against OSP but he still won UD easily. And how many times is Conor supposed to fight a year? Nevermind going up and down weight classes.

Kill that noise.

Seriously. Not wanting to stagger around for the rest of your life like a punch drunk boxer is apparently mental weakness.

Plus 9 title defenses over 5 years and something like 3+ years without losing a round.

Whatevs.

Jon Jones had a lot going on the week of the OSP fight. He also admitted he didn't really even train for him or take him seriously. People give him a lot of shit for all of his past misgivings, but when he's on his game no one (except a highly motivated Mauler) can come close to hanging. I don't think Rousey should be compared to either him or GSP. Before losing, Rousey scored 3 of her 4 wins by KO or TKO and I think that helped her falsely believe that no one could fuck with her. I really wish she would've switched up her coach/camp to see how she would've fared under a different tutelage. It may have been the same outcome, but considering Edmond's record of coaching past fighters, I think it would've helped some. She needs to go train with Schevchenko if she ever wants me make another serious go at it.

Wait, why'd the ref jump between them after that sweet ass dodge? Did he watch him matrix that shit and decide to call the fight realizing the guy kicking has no chance?

I don't think the ref realized that he dodged it.

Judging by the way the guy who throws the kick lets down his guard at the end, I'm guessing it was the end of the round

Yeah probably, but I like my idea of the ref realizing you can't beat someone with those kind of dodges and forcing the kicker to throw in the towel.

I figured the ref was just matrix stopping the fight. BA DUM TISHH clap the cymbals one time for ya boi

Probably because the bell rang

Derrick Lewis said that Chuck Liddell (47 years old) is going to make a comeback today on the MMA Hour.

Must have seen how easy it was to get that Chale Sonnen fall money.

My bro said it was because he was let go from his UFC job and saw Tito get 300k from Bellator...seems about right.

Chuck vs Manhoef please. Chuck might as well go full brain damaged if he's stupid enough to make a comeback.

Ronda Rousey's Future with UFC Commented on by Dana White on 'UFC Unfiltered'

Not all that surprising really. She looked totally out of her element in there her last fight. It doesn't seem like she has it in her to keep going
