To Fabricio Werdum? :eek6:

(seriously?) :skep:

Werdum's Jiu Jitsu is amazing. This was Fedor's first challenge in a while, I am not overly surprised. I put $150 on him needless to say I came out way ahead.

the sad thing is that Fedor had the fight won. but he bought his own hype and didn't respect Werdum's bjj and he got caught. if he did anything except jump into his guard, Fedor wins 9 times out of 10.

Huh??? He connected once. I never knew the first person to connect won.

he rocked and dropped him. if he had taken a step back and let Werdum up instead of jumping into his guard, he would have easily put his lights out.

for all the people who talk up Fedor's "humble" personality (which is almost entirely because he's flabby and can't speak english), we just saw his ego lose him a fight.

Granted on Werdum, but this is Fedor the unstoppable we're talking about here.

(or at least it was) :sosp:

He dropped him but Werdum was not rocked that bad. He would have been fine before the fight would have been stood back up if Fedor would have stepped back.

he would have recovered, sure (within the amount you can recover in 20 seconds), but another big right hand and he would be dropped.

Fedor dropped Arlovski (who beat Werdum) and Rogers in the last year, and both of them have much better chins than Werdum. if the fight stayed on their feet i would consider it basically a given that he would've KO'd Werdum.

but it doesn't matter anyways, because he didn't.

Werdum flopped. It's what he does. He has horrible stand-up, and tries to goad his opponent into following him to the mat where he is deadly. It's a big reason he is no longer in the UFC. His fights tend to be boring because he doesn't want anything to do with the standup (see Arlovski), and most of his opponents are smart enough to avoid his ground game. And since Werdum has poor takedowns, the only way he can get someone on the ground is by pulling guard or acting hurt.

As for the punch itself, it just clipped him. It wasn't solid enough to put even the worst chin down...although it was just a matter of time if Fedor wouldn't have foolishly followed him down. But Fedor has always been sloppy when following his opponent to the mat. It's just that up until last night, he was either able to power out of any trouble or kept enough distance to minimize the risk.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
