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.
I mean... PRIDE had better fighters for starters. A bunch of those guys became UFC champions. Yeah ego is a bitch SIR
Do we have the last 37 fights with the old gloves to compare it to?
Feisty foot stoolsUFC needs to go back to coming up with titles for their cards, that would be a good one.
UFC FIGHT NIGHT: BIRD-BONED MIDGETS
Probably has a lot to do with tonight’s card being almost predominantly Flyweights and Bantamweights.
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.This guy did it in 1983:

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

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.
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 can't tell you the 37 exact fights, but I can tell you the basic averages.

I want to know this too just for shits and giggles.
They only reduce inadvertent eye pokes.Bring back the old gloves, because these fuckin things haven't thwarted a single eye poke.
cause they weren't written into the scriptJust bring back the pride gloves. I dont remember many eye pokes in pride.
