Media 'GSP had boring fights' - Matt Brown REACTS to Khamzat Chimaev 'boring' win at UFC 319

You know whats funny?

if you've ever watched a no-hitter baseball game, It's not fun to watch. It's boring as hell. But it is impressive.

but if you showed a non baseball fan who doesn't understand the significance, They'd think it was like watching grass grow.

I understand


I see the nuances of it, for example against Rob he pitched a shut out, but what he did to Holland was nasty work, he pitched a no hitter on that one

Ddp atleast got some hits in lol

That's like your opinion man.

But I did find the Thiago Alvez fight extremely boring. It was worse than the Khamzat fight because there were people on here convinced DDP with his strength, size and cardio would weather the storm and pull ahead in the championship rounds so the danger was always there.

Gsp vs Shields was criminally bad,super bad followed by fight vs Hardy almost as bad
Both are worse to me then the one vs Alves

It just one boring, careful, dont take any chances fight so people should cut him some slack. He had to secure the title. Next fight Khamzat needs to be more active in the cage and go for a finish. Thats perfect for Renner who does well against fighters that engage. So its for sure going to be a more exciting fight.

IMO not a single GSP fight was as boring as that khamzat fight

And also, it's not like GSP didn't also receive a SHIT ton of haters for his fight style.

Fighters need to stop telling fans what they should or should not like

 

[deman]

Yeah, and he got called out on it.

Why are people pretending that GSP was heralded after every performance? If you're a noob and don't know any better , fair enough, but then keep your opinions to yourself.

Still does til this day, and it's held against him in goat talks often.

We're actually spoiled as MMA fans today. Fights like GSP vs Diaz were way more exciting than what we saw last weekend. and we all said that fight was boring. And it was. It was a lopsided decision where Nick got off Ittle offense and mostly got rode in defensive positions on the ground. but still probably double or triple the combined significant strikes.

damn does matt brown look old.

This whole whining about fights being on the ground is a new phenomenon and pathetic also shows the new modern UFC fan is ignorant and uneducated, if you go back to the beginning the Vale Tudo days fights were allowed to stay on the ground to let them naturally unfold the way they would and often times what happened was that the guy on his back would gas out and get pummeled.

Another point is that I believe striking arts like boxing, kickboxing, MT etc, are for ligher and leaner less physically strong guys, where as wrestling, jiu jitsu, judo etc, are for bigger, stronger guys who tend to be slower and have slow twitch muscles so it's bullshit to expect them to be doing MT or boxing. The modern UFC is not fighting it's entertainment for casuals whether anyone wants to admit it, they're structured like boxing with 10 point must system, 5 minutes rounds are awful not enough time for anything to happen longer rounds would have much different outcomes, scoring system is again based off a boxing perspective ridiculous this isn't boxing, stand-up rule totally stupid all for the short attention span new breed fans.


I would love for UFC or some other organization to go back to 8-man tournaments all in one night, all the rules of the old UFC with punches to the back of the head just everything the way it was that was real fighting much more entertaining have 3 weight divisions none of the weight cutting bullshit.
