Eugene Bareman got that ‘Kiwi Edmond’ energy…

[stacrafty]

Yeah, I'm not reading all that. Maybe if you type a few more paragraphs 'Eug' will let you suck his cock.

lmao, grade A shertard response. well done. Your'e due for a belt promotion.

 

[flektarn]

see what I mean, gullible key board tapping morons

The stuff with Rob? that was Eug for the one time in his life having a go at "trolling" he admits this on a podcast with those Aussie guys (Casper and whoever), cracks a smile and says "I can't do this social media trolling stuff - of course Rob has the next title shot"

Do you want me to link it?

Vs DDP?
They are stating how its always been. They set the standard themselves you take your opportunities when you can regardless of injury - so they hold DDP to that. Izzy was injured before Pereira 3. Alex was carrying that arm injury int the Yair fight - had to be pumped up on cortisol to even move his arm. For the both of those guys to keep their crazy schedules they have fought injured. That's the standard Bareman sets for his. When is the last time a CKB guy ever pulled out from a fight due to injury or didn't make weight? They are simply holding DDP to the same standard.

This is precisely why I keep saying this forum is an echo chamber of low IQ keyboard tappers. You base your opinion on stuff thats simply not true, either because you are gullible and fooled by the obvious, or you don't know stuff, you ignore the obvious, or simply you are not that smart.

None of the above is an insult to you, its simply describing what you are. There are too many examples to ignore now - this forum - factually - is an echo chamber of stupidity.

Nah Eugene is a dumbass for this one. Volk and Izzy both had a good six months between fights when they first fought for the title. They weren't sitting there signing a contract while injured for a TS 2 months away. It's great and they get their props for not pulling out of fights due to injury but they both had all the time to prepare and get ready for their first TS's each.

I made a thread about Kavanagh and everyone here was doubting he ever had anything to do with Conor's success

that's actually Kavanagh's own fault. he's the one who went and did a public interview where he said he didn't know shit about striking.

 

[swarrrm]

No one is worse than Fabia.

Edmond wanted Ronda to succeed,and just made some big mistakes along the way and got caught up in the hype. He did care about her.

Fabia was just the worst snake ever.

I didn't say he was worse. All I said was Edmond is more like Fabia than Bareman.

This is not true at all. There is definitley a successful technical,defensive/risk averse style that is a Jackson hallmark,and GSP and Jones are hardly the only fighters that came from his group.

Rashad in his prime was a damn good fighter and he came from Jackson’s right?

 

[Thesnake101]

Condit was a Greg Jackson product too, came up with him since before he was even an adult.

It's crazy how much disrespect trainers get around here.

 

[HHJ]

Rashad in his prime was a damn good fighter and he came from Jackson’s right?

Yep.

he's had alot of good fighters that chose to go there.

People cant just dismiss a camp that Jones and GSP were in,because they think that they would have succeeded anywhere.

Think about how shitty that is. You could basically say that about any dominant fighter/longterm champion. Its ignorant as fuck.

 

[HHJ]

It's crazy how much disrespect trainers get around here.

It's because they dont see what goes into things,or choose not to see. They dont like the idea that these guys all have help and world class training partners and coaching to prepare them and divise strategy.

 

[Marko Polo]

Yeah saw that video a few days ago, I agree with the MMA Guru, Eugene is contradicting himself quite a bit, trying hard to justify him cherry picking easier fights for Izzy and comes across as inconsistent with his reasonings because of that.

Wish MMA coaches would just stay humble, refrain from playing matchmaker saying who deserves the fight and who doesn't, especially when they obviously have an agenda like this guy.

Javier Mendez is the goat coach. He always puts the fighters first, even if they’re not from his gym

 

[maximus__]

Am I alone here?

It wasn’t until he went full-Kavanagh and felt like he needed to speak in interviews, and essentially try to push himself as the ‘Mad Genius’ behind City Kickboxing’s success, that I started to smell something ‘off’.

It’s very difficult to put into words, but something very disingenuous just radiates from him. Check this video from the polarising YouTuber ‘The MMA GURU’, where he (in my opinion), quite accurately calls out the hypocracy and snakiness that Bareman conveys.

I know Volk started off at CKB, but Bareman isn’t really to thank for his success. His claims to fame are Izzy, KKF, Hooker and Ulberg at this point. Not a bad roster, but I get the feeling that Izzy is a bit like Conor, he would have been great no matter what gym he fought out of. If anything, Izzy would have become a much more well-rounded fighter if he’d had a better coach in my opinion.



What are your thoughts on Eugene?

Weird take. Volk just does camps at CKB. He is Wollongong born and bred and still trains in what would be considered a smaller gym.

Izzy,KKF and Hooker are all great fighters. If you listen to early interviews Eugene had a massive impact on Izzy as a fighter. He was instrumental in his career success.

Very weird take to be honest. All these guys went over to Tiger muay thai and did the trials before CKB was a bigger gym.
Izzy success is based off him being such a great striker. We have enough MMA fighters who have nothing they are really great at. Guys like Izzy are great for the sport. I think you are way off to be honest.

 

[The Accuser]

Bit OT but can anybody clarify the history of gyms of Volk. I always thought he and Izzy are training partners but he seems to train with other people now.

They separated by many weight classes.

 

[Harlekin]

Jackson's had good professionalism and gameplans before most other camps.
Also good wrestling, as there were many wrestlers.
Not good striking, as both Jackson and Wink got that 90s kickboxing skill and not much more. Similar to Roufus.
Condit throws the same combos over and over again, no matter if he sees openings or not. UFC record for most missed strikes against Lawler
Dodson is their best striker.
Holly's hands got worse, as she had to train other stuff more.
Jones finally is developing a right hand, since training striking else where, after like nearly 2 decades in the sport.

 

[Wonderfight]

Mma Guru, I stopped there to save myself.

 

[rjmbrd]

Bareman is a complete turd and says ridiculous things.

Izzy would have been a gifted talent anywhere he went and his grappling is pretty awful - that is a coaching problem.

 

[rjmbrd]

He coached Izzy from day 1... This is an awful take from the TS. If you don't like the guy then whatever but to say he's Edmond 2.0 because you don't like his takes and the MMA "Guru" <Lmaoo>dislikes like him is utterly stupid. When did people get this emotional?

I don't want to beat the DDP situation again but let's be frank:
- If Khamzat beats Costa then UFC will push for the Adesanya fight
- If Pereira wins the 205 belt then UFC will push for the Adesanya fight

In no way is DDP eclipsing those 2 fights. If you truly believe that then you are a mark. He had Adesanya build the fight and decided his "foot" hurt to lose the opportunity to Strickland. <45>

Izzy is afraid to fight DDP confirmed.

 

[MGS]

Eug if true

 

[Royce's Gi]

Brutal if Eug

 

[BangBang]

My thoughts are that the MMA "Guru" is a neck bearded fat buffoon, seriously.

who I hear is disabled and in a wheelchair…
