Bruce85 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Really don’t get the hate for the Allen vs Evloev fight, I thought it was a decent scrap. Also seen a lot of people on twitter saying Allen was robbed. I thought it was close but I think Evloev clearly won? MMA twitter really is the drizzling shits! Quote

The Strickland fans are trying to spin it now as if he’s some badass warrior who’s known for having crazy scraps. Strickland! King of the Apex snoozer. You should see some of the absolute shite responses I got for tweeting this ? I used Lawler as the example because it’s so ridiculous to put them in the same bracket in terms of their track records for fight quality that I thought even Strickland’s biggest bum lickers would feel silly. Wrong. Actually had divs arguing he’s on that level. I don’t know if I find it more funny or sad. I honestly think the vast majority of them just pretend to love his fuck ugly, often boring style of fighting because they like his press conferences and political views. Quote
David Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Strickland has certainly become something of a "star" in the UFC world of late, and as much as he annoys the fuck out of me as a person, the guy has been fighting for over 15 years and has seen some real ups and downs in the cage. I'm glad he's seeing a bit of hype and interest, for however long it lasts. It just goes to show you though, when Dana and UFC management tell fighters that they need to do or say something to make the fans care, they're not lying. How much does anyone remember of Strickland from before his motorcycle accident and two-year layoff? I certainly don't really remember much about him from then. It's only when he came back and started to incorporate the "psychopath" character as Michael Bisping loved to call him, that people started to give a shit one way or the other. Strip all that away and you have what I've described in previous posts. A handy, borderline top-five fighter who is really good at most aspects of the game but stands out in none. He's gone from someone who's won more fights via decision than knockout, and who can put together a nice little boxing clinic and outpoint his opponents to someone that some fans consider to be a blood & guts warrior who's down for throwing hands to the death. Just like with McGregor for the most part, and Covington, perception is king. Quote

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 24, 2024 Author Paid Members Posted January 24, 2024 Yeah I get the impression he doesn’t watch half of it anymore. Why would he watch MMA when he’s got Power Slap, eh? It feels like him and, to a slightly lesser extent, Rogan just don’t really care anymore. Seems like a lot of the passion is gone and it’s just a case now of phoning it in and cashing in. Quote
