What is your single most unpopular MMA opinion?

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Agreed. It says something that the UFC still uses his old work for promotions even now

So true, one of the biggest things I notice when I go back and watch older UFC events is that Goldberg and Rogan never talk over each other, its really amazing. They obviously had a very good chemistry and knew each others timing.

Now when you watch UFC events everyone is talking over each other, Rogan is dreadful with Cormier and Bisping especially, they are constantly all talking over each other, and Cormier and Bisping can't shut up, it just doesn't flow.

Prime Cain beats Prime Jones

I'm confident-ish about that. I think he woulda been all over Jones. It's the most potentially controversial opinion I can think of.

Prime Cain beats Prime Jones

I'm confident-ish about that. I think he woulda been all over Jones. It's the most potentially controversial opinion I can think of.

Even with my opinion on Cain, I think a prime, uninjured Cain 100% beats a prime Jones. Bigger guy, terrible stylistic matchup.
Jon's issue in most all of those fantasy matchups is that he simply didn't have the power in his hands to hurt people. Machida blitzing into his counter was his only standing arm strike knockdown in his UFC career

 

[YesForGayJesus]

The judges got Edgar-Penn I right.

 

[TheNewGame]

nostalgia is a powerful emotion, old man

Prime Penn had a close fight with GSP. GSP is better than Khabib.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Every Russian fighter besides fedor made the sport way more boring.

I honestly didn't mind when the ufc stopped at 170 or 155 and the wec was the small man league. It was fine that way

The judges got Edgar-Penn I right.

Get the fuck out.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

A shitty fight night card is always worth watching, even if you haven't heard of 80% of them a good fight is a good fight, and some big PPVs can be fizzers.

 

[Cucumber Slice]

Prime confident JDS beats anyone on the planet

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Come on Bandito, that one is lukewarm from such a knowledgeable fan, don't be afraid to offend!

Aw man, it's the problem with being right all the time, it's hard to find when I'm the minority on things.

I love you mod types never go to far from the mainstream opinon. very delicate around the line

 

[Oscar Madison]

The aliens have tried to take over MMA several times, just as they did with the NBA. They tried on TUF 1, and they tried by abducting some superstars
Joe Rogan died years ago and has been replaced by a lookalike, which is why they got rid of Mike Goldberg. They didn't trust him to keep the secret

Which ones?

The Mexicans or the Chinese?

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Aldo would have kicked the shit out of Conor in a rematch

 

[UkraineFreightTrain]

Cyborg is the female GOAT

 

[CdaMMA]

Most of the so called robberies people talk about weren't robberies at all and most MMA fans aren't as good at judging fights as they think they are.

 

[MRT]

'Unpopular' in that it does not really get discussed rather than something few people agree with, maybe?

Fedor should have joined a new camp, signed with the UFC, and cut to LHW...rather than continuing to fight at HW post-Pride and not really evolving as a fighter.

 

[mooseman17]

The Sherdog play by play threads are filled with alcoholic retards who barely pay attention to the fights and will then argue life and death for something they watched half assed.

[NoStoneUnturned]

I enjoy having more cards and more fights. I'm a fan of fighting, not fighters. Sure, sure I like some fighters more than others, but I would never want to go back to the time when fight cards were few and far between.

I also think fans who hero worship fighters for any reason are idiots. They are just people who put the time in and excelled.

 

[JBJ was here]

Reyes's strongest round against Jones was the third round--it's the only round where Reyes landed more than one or two non-pitter-patter shots and Jones didn't have a clear advantage in the power of strikes landed--and that was a toss-up round if you evaluate under the unified rules (also, LOL, Texas MMA rules; almost none of anyone's arguments on either side about whether the fight was a robbery make any sense at all because the Texas rules are simply too vague and useless for a robbery to be possible).
