Re: UFC 118 Penn-Edgar 2 Toney-Couture

Just looking over Gabe Ruediger's record, it looks like he might be the kind of guy who does very well against lower level competition, but loses any time he fights someone that people have heard of.

Perhaps, but I kind of agree with him. Who the hell has Joe Lauzon ever beat? He's only beat one fighter I've ever heard of. I won't name him out of respect for SPX.

Much obliged.

But I know you've also heard of Mike Brown, Jeremy Stephens, and Kyle Bradley, too. Granted, Kyle Bradley's not shit, but the other two. . .

I'm not going back through 30 pages but whats everyone thoughts on Florian-Maynard?

Florian wins via superior striking, threatening submissions, and improved takedown defense.

Maynard outboxed Diaz. Thats not too bad. I think Florian will have better standup but keep in mind he won't be able to use his kicks the same way. Maynard is pretty quick too..He took down F edgar many times. He won every single round and took him down every single round. Nobody has beaten him. This is a tough call.

Maynard didn't outbox shit.

I've considered it. If the line goes higher by fight time I'll probably drop .25u on him, but I hope Randy chokes the shit out of him. Literally. I hope after the fight Toney got choked so hard that there are little bits of Toney shit on the Octagon floor.

did Toney impregnate your mom? Why the hate ?

A few things. . .

1. Do I have to fight to have a love for the sport? MMA's given me a lot: hours of entertainment, a budding side income wagering on it, the nucleus of a new career writing about it, and even IWS. So yeah, it's my sport. I'm very much attached.

2. Sonnen and Toney are nothing alike. Sonnen's obviously very intelligent. Even Gerald Harris told me that Sonnen was one of the most intelligent people he knew, and Harris is no moron himself (he has a BA in history and used to be a teacher, as you know). Toney, on the other hand, can't even enunciate simple phrases and syllables. If he was an MMA fighter, I would be amused by him, but I certainly wouldn't be a fan. And as this match is being thought of as "boxing vs MMA," you know what side I'm going to be on.

What are you talking about Maynard didn't outbox shit? Diaz won "head jabs"
and that is only because he paws at people constantly...Maynard landed far more head power and a bit more body power...

Diaz also didnt land a meanigful punch the whole fight. Maynard rocked Diaz on several occasions.


Just because figtmetric gave Diaz a strike everytime he pawed at Maynard doesnt mean he outboxed him

I agree. There's more to "outstriking" someone than just the numbers.

Proud to wear that label. . .

I'm sorry you don't get to have that experience.

I'll say one thing about J-Lo, and that's that he better bring some more skills than be brought against Stout if he wants to justify that -325 line.

IIRC, Lauzon was doing fine, then he just gassed. He also was coming off an injury/long layoff.
