Bet the house on Pereira/Jiri 2 going the distance.

It was only a good idea at the time for those who benefit from the ad bombardment that is even worse than before. They knew the "upgrade" was/is garbage. I had to get a different browser just for sherdog on the phone.

Yeah, ad revenue trumps user experience sir...smh.

 

[StonedLemur]

I mean... PRIDE had better fighters for starters. A bunch of those guys became UFC champions. Yeah ego is a bitch SIR

All true...(bows in respect)

 

[StonedLemur]

Do we have the last 37 fights with the old gloves to compare it to?

Someone in this thread did the research sir.

I just looked, this is what it looks like right now on chrome, lol:

UFC needs to go back to coming up with titles for their cards, that would be a good one.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT: BIRD-BONED MIDGETS

Feisty foot stools

Probably has a lot to do with tonight’s card being almost predominantly Flyweights and Bantamweights.

yip, quite rare for pussy-weights to get t/ko's

This guy did it in 1983:

Luis Resto (boxer) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I think I watched a documentary on that, didn't he fuck up that dude for life by doing what he did? Without looking into it, I remember he went to prison for that. It changed both their lives.

Margarito has something to say about this which I think Dana has to listen otherwise its a complete failure.

I can't tell you the 37 exact fights, but I can tell you the basic averages. Focusing on 37 fights on the other side makes no sense anyway because we have a much bigger sample size to compare to with the old gloves.

2021: 33%
2022: 33%
2023: 31%

5/37 (if these are the real numbers) = 14%

We still obviously need a bigger sample size but the trend is starting to indicate there could be a problem. We will wait and see.

Yeah, it's probably important to compare data sample sets of equal size. We'll see what things look like in the next couple of years.

Bring back the old gloves, because these fuckin things haven't thwarted a single eye poke.
Also it seems like almost nobody can generate power with them...even fighters that normally have pop.


These gloves remind me of the recent upgrade of this site.
Seemed like a good idea at the time, but as hindsight goes...it wasn't.

i basically stopped using this site after it (this is the first post since.)

the adds on mobile are disgusting. Multiple pops ups that are hard to close, spawning right next to scrolling finger etc.

Its like they trying to run this down.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Whats with these new gloves and KO threads...


Like wtf is this shit...Gloves dont determine KOs this isnt a game ...this is real life...

The gloves have the same KO function as the old ones..

Have people lost their minds?

Install the 'Brave' browser, you'll never get a popup again.

Some of those KOs were from kicks, knees, elbows, ground and pound.....the new gloves/fewer KOs theory would only apply to KOs by punches while on the feet, no?

I want to know this too just for shits and giggles.

Good use case for generative AI

 

[El Fernas]

Lighter gloves means less force? If speed is constant between gloves for the same fighter then a punch will have less power because of reduced mass?

 

[Captain Herb]

They only reduce inadvertent eye pokes.

 

[Captain Herb]

Just bring back the pride gloves. I dont remember many eye pokes in pride.

cause they weren't written into the script

 

[Neck&Neck]

They should just do Poke for a poke
If a fighter gets eye poked, they reset and he gets a free eyepoke on his opponent
Stand there and take it like a man
