Is that certain trends have yet to reveal themselves.
I'm not sure this deserves to be a thread, but what the hell..
We tend to think we know everything about MMA as fans and what things are likely, what is impossible, what succeeds, what fails ect. However in recent years we have been humbled a bit by the MMA Gods. We all thought for a while that NCAA Wrestlers were going to dominate the sport. We all thought for a while that Huge Heavyweights were the next "big" thing.
The truth is anything can happen. Michael Bisping, Rafael Dos Anjos, Robbie Lawler, and Mark Hunt have all been key players in proving that recently. What else could happen ? I always wonder which fighters are going to surprise us and stick around for a long, long time.
What if Big Country doesn't retire and continues to trade KO wins with beat downs until his hair is white ?
What if Lyoto Machida has a resurgence and wins another title ?
What if Demian Maia beats Masvidal and goes on to defend the belt 3-4 times as a pure BJJ guy ?
Are there any common beliefs held right now about the sport that you personally think could change or anything you think will happen that sounds crazy to most ? I mean, who the fook thought Bisping would be champ !?!?!?
