70 Year Old MMA Fighter Steps into the Cage to "feel alive"

Re: 70 Year Old MMA Fighter Steps into the Cage to "feel ali

Having a 210-220 pound Courture fight a 265 pound Lesnar is like having Edgar fight Shogun

But is it really? The purpose was to set things up so that people of any weight could participate in the sport and get a fair fight. At the time, the perception, at least, was that ability didn't really go up with size after 220 pounds or so. When the best fighters in the world are 220-235 pound guys like Fedor, Cro Cop, Nog, and Couture, it's hard to say those size guys need to be protected from the 265-ers by putting them in another class.

On the other hand, if guys like Lesnar and Carwin who cut to 265 never let go of the HW championships, I'm sure you'll see more calling for a Cruiserweight class.

I'd like to see a 206-235 class and 236-265 one. I think that would make it more even .You cant tell me that 265 fighting 206 isnt a huge disadvantage for the 206 lb guy.
People say BJ is too small for GSP but thats a 15 pound difference which is only 10% body weight gain for BJ . A 206 lb fighter fightinng someone 265 lbs is him fighting someone 30% bigger than him .
Even if you say most HW's are at least 220 thats still fighitng someone 20% bigger

Gross.

The HW division is already the world's worst division.

I dont care if they do it or not. I was just saying to be "fair"....

Once Cain and JDS beat the bejesus out of Lesnar you'll see why it doesn't matter. Big guys are horrid.

Isn't it the same in boxing? And hasn't it been that way for a long time?

Boxings different imo because there's no wrestling involved but yes anything over 200 in HW is boxing and they dont have a limit .I've seen 310+ pounders in the HW division in boxing.

NCAA wrestling is 198 to 285 for the HWs.

And the "small heavyweights" traditionally do just as well as the bigs.

I think Brock is one man... He has won 5 fights, lets not get ahead of ourselves. He doesn't need his own weight class yet. I actually think the 205ers would beat the HW's in a round robin tourney.

Anyone actually watched this fight?

There's lots of talk about it being a work. I haven't located a video yet though.

Look fucker. It's my job to argue semantics. I'm saying I heard it was a work from a few different places. So I'm asking if anyone saw it. EAD

I haven't heard that shit.

That old man's too proud for that. Besides, wasn't his opponent like 49? It's not like it's an old guy beating up a young guy or anything.

Re: 70 Year Old MMA Fighter Steps into the Cage to "feel ali

Yeah that's why I wanted to see the fight. But apparently his opponent was an ex pro wrestler.
