inefficient with energy
I feel like that is a pretty reasonable thing to say when loosing a fight. Considering tat he clearly gassed in the fight.
The balloon thing however, silly.

You could be efficient with your energy and still gas because your tank is trash.I feel like that is a pretty reasonable thing to say when loosing a fight. Considering tat he clearly gassed in the fight.

Conor has bad cardio, that’s just a fact and it’s a meme. But him being inefficient with an already limited gas tank is a very good way to gas early, which he did.Saying stuff like "I was inefficient with my energy" isn't an excuse. It's identifying a reason why you lost so that you can improve in the future.
It's the difference between a hockey player stating "We took too many unnecessary penalties", rather than "The ref's f'd us over the whole game".
But training isn’t pacing yourself against a guy who wants to win like you do. He can loose in sparring all the time no problem.You could be efficient with your energy and still gas because your tank is trash.
I could go race some Ethiopians and Morrocans in an Olympic marathon, collapse 4 miles in and just chalk it up to "being inefficient with my energy".
At the end of the day, he's not gassing doing 5 rounds in the gym so if you're gonna take an L, acknowledge that your opponent BEAT you.
He did cop a bit of shit on here, though post fight night Sherdog isn't necessarily very measured, we're all drunk and mostly high ha ha
This.Being a fighter requires delusion (i.e. 90 percent of fighters sincerely believe they will be champ even though clearly most won't). Hence excuses. Sometimes delusion goes too far (Diaz bros probably don't think they've ever lost a fight "legitly"), sometimes it's just enough (a lot of champs).
No its not allowedI think depending on the severity of the excuse, it's okay if a fighter makes excuses/"excuses".
Seems like after every main or co-main fight, or any fight we care about, 9/10 times the loser has an array of excuses for why they lost.
Maybe I just wasn't paying that much attention say 10-15 years ago but it didn't seem this prevalent.
Just in the last couple weeks :
Costa - wine
Holland - didn't want belt anyway
Francis (on latest countdown) : Came into Stipe fight to just destroy him like he was nothing and he's never approached a fight like that /also , that wasn't him in the first fight
Ortega (on latest countdown Before they took it down ) - jumped in frozen lake night before fight and felt sick next day before fight, couldn't put weight back on
And then there's -
Mas - short camp
Nate - he actually never lost Mas fight
Conor - inefficient with energy/balewn foot /tree times his size.....
I mean damn dude, It's the default nowadays ....?
Am I trippin?
because they know they are gonna get torn apart for speaking the truth. The fans dont like preconcieved notions challenged.Explaining circumstances and complaining /giving excuses are different things
Many of the fighters also mentioned that they weren't using what they said as an excuse.
I think many people found KERS and DRS weird.Yeah it was interesting to learn about things like chicanes, Apexs and how different tires work etc..,I've never been much of a Car person though, horsepower and suspension stuff kind starts to go over my head and then they introduced kers and drs stuff which I have 0 information on.
One of the most interesting characters in the sport I alway thought was Hakkinen, some really funny interviews.
All good haha.Yeah sorry didn't mean Monaco is a bad course by any means it's one of the best, didn't write that very clearly lol.
Yeah elevation is a good.thing to have Spa is best for this imo, you should go watch a Monza race and see how it starts! So sick man, massive fucking gap in the track and everyone has to slow from like 5th gear to 2nd on the same corner lol, chaos.
Nice man, cool you've seen and liked it too.I have indeed! Loved it, best thing Thor has been in imo, and the other actor is really fucking underrated too.
Out of likes too bud KhabibBS
Alhamdullilah1) you're tripping 2) people ask them what went wrong and fighters reply with what they think went wrong. A reason and understanding what went wrong isn't an excuse and if it is: 3) admitting defeat and saying "he was better than me that night" is still an excuse by your standards and 4) pro athletes need to find out the reasons aka excuses they lost. Admitting defeat would mean giving up and never coming back because so and so is simply better.
Again, you're tripping... Tito Ortiz, Rampage Jackson, Chuck Liddell, Couture, Sonnen, etc. All American Excuse Squad. Don't forget Johnny Hendricks, Weedman, and many more.
I think many people found KERS and DRS weird.
The latter is btw just changing the angle of the rear wing from (side view of the car which drives from right to left): / to --- (bit exaggerated, but you get the point) for a few seconds in the race - it decreases drag, making for a faster acceleration and top speed. However, it also decreases downforce, which is why one shouldn't use it in corners.
KERS is i the electricity cars get from braking, which they can then use as well until the battery for it is empty for a while.
I love how he started out as a Taxi driver, some of his mannerisms really crack me up, legend, seen him doing some Rally Driving stuff as well which is super impressive, always find it interesting seeing how F1 Drivers are in slightly more normal "cars" lol. And Halkkinen was legit James Bond worthy... I do remember the Schumi moment, good stuff, another massive massive legend obviously.Häkkinen was awesome!
Very appreciated basically everywhere i think and for good reason.
Was always a role model, sympathetic, cool and a great driver.
(When Schumacher broke into tears after equalling Senna's number of wins, he was asking the interviewer to give them a break, after the latter continued to ask questions despite Schumi crying).
It is very beloved yeah, Italians love cars and racing, Ferrari pressure at Monza is always huge! I just love the track though, first track I ever learnt the entire way roundAll good haha.
Monza is beloved, isn't it? Didn't remember the situations you've described, but i do remember it being a very fast track with one or two long straights.
Nice man, cool you've seen and liked it too.
Both Hemsworth and Brühl (the guy you meant) were great there, just a good example of an all around really good movie.
Made me realize what an absolute mad man Lauda was, i didn't have much of an idea just how tough and competitive he was.
You're welcome!mma4Thanks for the summary makes a bit more sense now, though I think i'd need to read that bout 5 times over and over again for it to really stick in my brain lol, i'm pretty dumb with this kind of thing.
Had no idea about the taxi driver thing, that's funny!I love how he started out as a Taxi driver, some of his mannerisms really crack me up, legend, seen him doing some Rally Driving stuff as well which is super impressive, always find it interesting seeing how F1 Drivers are in slightly more normal "cars" lol. And Halkkinen was legit James Bond worthy... I do remember the Schumi moment, good stuff, another massive massive legend obviously.
Yeah, now that i think about it, i found it kinda difficult to master those corners 01 and 02 after coming from the straight, they're kinda hard to assess, ngl.It is very beloved yeah, Italians love cars and racing, Ferrari pressure at Monza is always huge! I just love the track though, first track I ever learnt the entire way round
See the speed trap between 01-02? That shit on the first lap! But then it get's even harder to time the gear shifts and breaking on obviously 2nd time around(and after) because you have the built up speed pretty much all the way from 10, when you pull off that speed trap turn perfectly you feel like such a badass, so easy to over or undershoot.
Shit, i totally forgot Spa! Mad track, the part after the starting straight, the "Eau rouge" (must be the 02/03) is crazy. (The whole track is and i really like it, but the eau rouge in particular).Then Spa circuit in Belgium
just fucking all over the place! But lots up hills and stuff, it's another really awesome track imo. And also beloved due it's history and personality.
I feel you, i think i only really know the Nordschleife, Spa Franchorchamps, Laguna Seca and maybe some other 1-3.Though I don't even know all the circuits now days, I wonder if anything is as fun... I seem to remember Our own Silverstone and one of the Germany(Nurburg iirc)tracks being really highly rated too! Though weirdly I don't know them very well at all.
Same here, he's really good, though i only remember him from Captain America: Civil War and Rush, lol.Yeah Bruhl has impressed me every time i've seen him, first time I saw him was in The Edukators which I really enjoyed.. I would really like to see him in more things.
I'd like to watch it again, I hadn't heard of either Hunt or Lauda at the time I watched it in the Cinema.
because they know they are gonna get torn apart for speaking the truth. The fans dont like preconcieved notions challenged.
fuck all that shit. People should say what they wanna.Right, which is why fighters began prefacing their statements by giving credit to the Victor before indulging us on why they think they lost.
fuck all that shit. People should say what they wanna.
I loved it when Val said that the decision against nunes was bullshit and that she won that fight,and that the judges were tards
thats honesty!!!!!!
