I've learned everything I know about him between her podcast with Joe and now. He's a snake oil salesman. Ronda's mom was right.
He's garbage.
Saying she was doing well during and after the fight is fucking bonkers. It's like he has a spell on her. Sadly I think (I might be
reaching......) that Ronda has some serious daddy issues and that's why she seems to surround herself with shitty men.
"Daddy issues" sounds pretty dismissive, so I'm not sure that's the phrase I'd go for there. She probably does have significant
issues revolving around her father's suicide when she was still a child - she's said as much on numerous occasions and it's
obviously something that shaped and changed her life in profound ways. Hopefully, she's had significant therapy, but I wouldn't be
surprised if she just channeled her rage/pain into her fighting (and, again, some features/documentary footage on her has definitely been spun this
way).
Does that make her vulnerable to an older guy who tries to play the nurturer while giving her bad advice for money? That doesn't seem like a
huge stretch, although it's obviously speculative. What isn't speculative is that, yeah, his coaching and analysis seems to be at best
oblivious/bad and at worst manipulative/deceitful.

I know I'm probably reaching, but maybe I'm not.
When she was like 17 or so she was seriously dating and I assume fucking a dude that was like 21 or 22. That's fucking gross on the guy. Then
she dated a dude that she caught taking nude photos of her while she slept. Gross. She is on the record saying that Edmond ignored her for weeks when
she went to his gym... I can see this turning into "Why is he ignoring me?! What do I have to do to prove myself?" It's possible he was
playing her like a guy plays girl he's into, but pretending not to be interested so the girl that everyone wants to be around gets jealous and
throws herself at him (not sexually necessarily). She had never had people ignore her since she became known for being a world class judo player, and
it might have driven her crazy to be ignored by old Edmond.
And we also have her dating Browne, a guy that is accused of domestic violence. I HATE accusations being treated as fact, but for arguments sake what
if he did beat his wife? Then we would be on shithead number four. I dunno. It just seems like she has been preyed upon by multiple guys and
can't see it happening. I can see this playing into Edmond's hands. He is very fucking creepy if you listen to him. He says he can foresee
what the fight will look like.... sure, bro. Let me guess, your golden egg gives you 10% of her winnings no matter the outcome? Dude is delusional as
fuck too. He has a mural up in his gym where he is standing next to Ali. Yes, that Ali.
And watch him after she is KO'd. Weird as shit. He's holding her like a child and she's acting like a child. The whole thing was
fucking uncomfortable and I honestly feel a bit bad for her to be surrounded by yes men and have everyone telling her she's "ONCE IN A
LIFETIME!" Bullshit. She's a decent brawler with a good judo toss and armbar. When you compare her to how advanced even your average 155lb guy
in the top 15, it's laughable.

I don't regularly follow MMA, nor would attempt to say I know the first thing about it, but...I don't get it. You train for months for a
fight, only to throw a few punches, fall on your face like an idiot, and get knocked out in 15 seconds. I guess I don't get how you can compete
at the highest level of something, put in countless hours training, and that is your end result.
And yes, I'm sure I'm being an ignorant dickhead when it comes to the science of the sport but I could have gone out there and literally
lasted as long as Aldo did.

The punch he got before falling actually knocked him cold. When he was trying to get back up he looked very cross eyed and the hammerfists definitely
didn't help. Training is definitely helpful, but that punch was perfectly timed and perfectly placed.

Ah, okay, that makes more sense than (because when I saw the footage it looked like he had just fallen down). Though I guess that still goes back to
my original point though, where if you train for months for one fight, shouldn't you be good enough to not get punched in the face and knocked
out within 15 seconds?

He is good enough not to get punched in the opening exchange, but we have to consider a couple things first.
He was too amped up and charged out. Conor said he was expecting a big right hand just on how Aldo was carrying himself. The mind games paid off. Aldo
is a very smart fighter so for him to rush into this shows he let Conor get under his skin.
Second, another issue here is Conor himself. There are a handful of extreme weight cutters in the UFC, and he is the king of them at 145. He has
openly talked about how he is bigger than his opponents. It's part of the sport, and it fucking sucks. Some guys just can do it better than
others, and it does have a huge impact even though it has zero to do with skill or training.
So when you see him, keep in mind he is more or less a 155lb fighter, beating on 145lb fighters. That's the reason his chin is so fucking good.
He can eat a shot (which he did here) and not worry as long as he lands too. He did this a lot with Mendes. He knows he will get hit. He just knows
his chin will probably take it.
Not to totally take this away from him though. His timing is like Anderson Silva in 2010. Magnificent.

UFC 194
And poor Chris Weidman. Hopefully this puts away the notion that you can get by with cutting little to no weight. He was way smaller than Luke, and
when he made a mistake by throwing a spinning kick, he paid so dearly. I felt awful for him.
Hat's off to Luke though... He's a giant well rounded machine.
And the Romero vs Jacare fight kinda fucking sucked. I am fan of both, but not so much after it ended. Romero cheated blatantly and repeatedly. Rogan
even called it out during a round break... He said his corner would probably dump water on him and they did. Shit like this that is so blatant should
result in a point deduction. In case you don't know why, they did so because it takes time to get him dried back off. They wait until the end of
the break to do it... this gives the winded fighter an extra few seconds to breathe. They were warned not to, and did it anyway. Blatant as fuck.
Hell, they were even giving him advice during a time out and the ref had to scold them for it. Just all and all terrible cheating. And then Jacare
lost
Was a bit of a let down of card really. Maia dwarfed and manhandled one of my new favorites guys in Gunnar Nelson. He should maybe move down a weight
class.
And Holloway vs Stephens didn't even come close to delivering what I was expecting.

UFC on Fox: dos Anjos Cerrone 2
Anyone else pumped for this?
Anjos has been on FIRE lately. Hopefully he is 100% clean and can bring the same game tonight. I like Cerrone too. This could be great.
And JDS vs Overeem aka mini-Reem should be interesting. This could very well be lights out for Alistair in the first minute of the fight. I think JDS
has found all the muscles that Overeem has lost.
And Nate Diaz vs Michael Johnson could be gold. Johnson is hitting his stride nowadays.

I sure as hell am. This is a fairly well stacked card and I'm surprised it's not a PPV. Merry Christmas to us, I guess. I like RDS and
think he'll take it, but I love the Cowboy and hope he can pull out a win to get him closer to a mythical possible bout with McGregor. I think
Overeem's chin is pretty wonky and JDS takes this with a Mortal Kombat style finishing move.
Always a hoot to see a Diaz brother get nutz in the cage, win or lose. It's just too bad his brother's suspended for being a cokehead and
getting in that hit-and-run accident and injuring that pregnant lady then returning to the scene of the crime to remove evidence. What's that?
Ohhhh, apologies. That was Jon Jones and he's allowed to fight soon. Good on "Bones" to not do something as horrific and evil as Nate by
smokin' doobies. But I digress.
Looking forward to Dollaway and that Tex Cobb lookin' muhfugger Marquardt on the undercard. Those dudes don't have much time left in the
cage, at least Nate doesn't, but they can still fucking bang so I'm looking to that one for a pretty good brawl. Hell, the whole undercard
looks pretty stacked with decent matchups, or at the very least with "name" guys and gals. Tis the season for a beatin'!

Cerrone is beaten rather easily and Nate Diaz beats a guy I still am not sure how he got ranked in the top 5, let alone 10 (Michael Johnson is decent,
but his four fight win streak previous to his well earned loss prior to this fight were against a gatekeeper, Melvin Guilard, streaky Gleison Tibau,
and Edson Barboza, who can't seem to win a fight unless he fights guys who have no specialty), meaning he's relevant again until he takes
on a real top ten guy and/or smokes too much weed before weigh-ins and gets another huge case of the munchies (though, as with all Diaz brothers, this
decision is still TBD until the drug tests come back). That card was a bit of a disappointment as far as the results, but still a fun free card.

RDA is a fucking nightmare. I never would've expected such a late spike in any lightweight's career. He's in my top P4P list for
sure. In some ways he is way more talented than Jones. He doesn't play it safe. There's no massive reach advantage to exploit. He just
goes in and throws some of the hardest and fastest strikes a 155lb man has ever thrown.
Poor Junior.... poor Junior.

UFC Fight Night 81 - Cruz vs TJ
And the king returns to once again rule over the little guys as the most boring high level fighter I have ever seen.
I kinda half watched Pettis lose to Alvarez.
Poor fucking Matt Mitrione.
Most entertaining moment of the night was probably Ilir Latifi smashing another man.

Wow. Ok just wow.
First off, I was IN the building Sunday night for the big show. I was there from 5:30 to closing, strictly for the diehards. Interesting aside BBMN,
the sledgehammer fight happened during the Fight Pass prelims. At the point I was standing in one of the Loge's watching the fight, when this
skinny bald dude asked if he could take some film of the Latifi fight. Apparently I was standing next to one of Latifi's homeboys, and we
bugged out when he came away with such a dominating victory. That was pretty cool.
The rest of the card? MAN bitter disappointment from this fans perspective! Showtime is my favorite fighter, and he did get off one bit. Boring
Eddie with the lay and pray, holding my dude down and boring the fuck out of everybody (except the green-clad bunch of loud-mouthed loons in the
Balcony section who kept chanting "EDDIE! EDDIE!") Ugh. Then I watched my man Dillishaw get robbed, IMO. Cruz did NOT do enough to BEAT the
champ! I hate that shit man! If that's all it takes, then Gustaffson should have won the belt from Jon Jones already. It was razor thin,
super close, and I think TJ did enough to warrant a split decision win. And now what? Cruz is already complaining about his foot. Are we gonna wait
another 3 years for him to fight again? Anyways, it was a great night, super fun. My seats were awesome and the snow wasn't that bad.

I assumed they would give the win to Cruz, because MMA scoring is skewed heavily towards awarding take downs. It's been a huge problem for
years. If a take down does nothing to help one win, it's pretty much a moot technique as far as I'm concerned.
But if a take down can lead to you dealing out significant ground and pound, and or lead to submission attempts, than it's important.
I hate it when I see a guy go for a take down with no meaning behind it. I don't think Cruz even wanted to keep TJ down with his take downs.
Just do it so the judges notice, and let the opponent up a second later. It's about as useful as a jab. But this is how judging goes. I think
spamming take downs with no effort to capitalize should be looked down on by judges.
So now we have the most boring fighter I've seen, back on top at 135. Fucking yay.

In other words BBMN, I couldn't agree with you more. Though the Showtime fight was just as lackluster because of Eddie's insistence on
more or less doing the same thing.

If you missed the three round classic that was Kimbo/Dada 5000 yesterday night, this is about the level of energy both men had after Kimbo scored a
takedown 30 seconds into the fight:
That entire show may have done more harm than good for Bellator.

The Gracie-Shamrock debacle that followed was better; if only because it was over in less than five minutes. The knee was close to a nut strike,
shamrock didn't respond...knee hits (big)head shamrock goes down and grabs his groin. Gracie with weak hammer strikes ref stops fight.
Hosts call BS on Shamrock while he is whining about an intentional grounding strike. Finally replay goes back far enough to see it (and shamrock not
respond). Merc turns back to Celtics game...drama TV is for the wife.

Bellator reminds me of why I like the UFC: if a fight sucks, the announcers (usually) call them out on it. The Bellator announcers...not so much.
They still try to sell whatever story they're trying to tell, like, in this case, which one of the two is going to wind up being "King of the
Streets" (spoiler: the answer is "neither"). They constantly seem to be wrong about just about everything (whoever the guy was taking on Melvin
Guillard was, according to the announcers, not the one pressing the fight and not starting the exchanges, despite very clear evidence to the contrary,
where he'd even throw a series of punches at Guillard every time the guy said it just to seemingly prove him wrong).
If Mauro wasn't on Smackdown, I'd say Bellator's first right step would be to hire him and Bas Rutten as their announce team. Their
second, and one that is actually something they can do, is never again put two "specialty" fights on the same card. They could have had Kimbo and
Dada main event this card, then sucker in the audience next week with Shamrock/Gracie. Instead, they put two sideshow fights on the same card, and
both of them sucking stands out a lot more now than if each one sucked on a separate show that also had four better fights on them (and, again,
ideally two better announcers).
