MMA fan exploring the numbers behind the fights

If their TD average is below 0.5, I'll probably find their fights incredibly boring.

My Top 15 Favourite (Male) Fighters

Changes:
1. Nakamura is off the list. Go be a kickboxer somewhere else
2. Merab breaks into the top 15 now that he's not being a ducking bitch.

My Top 15 Favourite Fighters

@Mobb_Tv_ Ilia had one defence at FW and waltzed into a LW championship fight he didn't deserve.

Brutally lost his first defence and there are talks about gifting him another chance at the belt?

What am I missing here?

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

@loststatew86691 @skinnyd___ Dude beat two FW kickboxers past their best, chinned a chinny LW past his best, and many started treating him like some GOAT.

For many, it is just easier to keep deluding themselves than admit they got it wrong.

- Topuria ducked his way into losing to a 37-year-old Gaethje.

- Gaethje remembered he is an MMA fighter.

This sport shines in spite of the UFC's best efforts.

@HusseiniGroyper It was a surprising fight. Khamzat performed better on the feet than I thought he would. He also performed worse on the ground than I expected. Was shocked all he could achieve was control.

MMA, man.

MMA is such an interesting sport. Always serving surprises

@MovsarUFC @Valoresense @alexvolkanovski The curse of the UFC.

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

The better fighter won. I suspect I have to thank the UFC for Evloev not wrestling as much (even his corner was calling for it).

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

@itssleeep Vallejos and Silva are exciting, no doubt!

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

This might be the last UFC FW match I watch this year.

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

@itssleeep I prefer to actually see the fights than just count out fighters.

I was referring to how it seemed Evloev was kickboxing due to pressure from the UFC.

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

UFC FW fights boring the hell out of me as usual.

Little chance of that in the main event, thankfully. Evloev is one of the few bright spots in that kickboxing division.

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

All hail LW

@MVMNTMartials HM: Sean "That fight doesn't make sense for me. I'm taking it" Strickland

Max "Thank God I'm in a division with shit wrestlers" Holloway

Sean's fighting style bores me as much as Holloway's. But I love their warrior attitude - - will take any fight.

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

Got one of my wishes.

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

From now on, I hope to only see Holloway vs fighters who have a ground game and WILL use it:

- Ilia (I guess)
- Evloev
- Arman
- Gamrot
- Charles

If not, just bring in a world champion kickboxer lemme see if Max really crash something.

@pearls125992 @ChampRDS Which fighter(s) would make it a legacy fight for Islam?

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

@mma_kings @HaduuckenIII @omgitsfeely They cut undefeated fighters, give undeserving fighters title shots, gift double champ shots to champs who duck contenders.

A sorry sight.

[Dan Tom @DanTomMMA]

Casual fans to colleagues alike scoffed at me for even suggesting this fight could be competitive and Yan just do everything I laid out in all my breakdowns this week.

✅ Yan +350 (1-U)

✅ Yan 5.5 pts +195 (1-U)

@itssleeep Do you have any BW contenders you are looking forward to seeing in the top 5?

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

@itssleeep Umar vs Merab 2 would feed us for months, don't get me wrong,

BUT I think it only happens if O'Malley gets the next title shot, and I definitely hope that isn't the case.

[I Like My Martial Arts Mixed @ThisIsMMANot___]

@itssleeep I really hope they do Aiemann - Merab. He is on a 7-fight W streak.

Fresh blood should be given opportunities against the top 10 instead of just recycling the same old fighters because legend/big name/past glory.

But yeah, that bald asshole can absolutely do Yan - O'Malley

[ACD MMA @acdmma_]

Merab deserves everyone’s respect honestly

- three title defenses this year
- fought four times this year
- put on exciting fights
- entertained us inside and outside of the cage
- WAS AN ACTIVE CHAMPION

one of the best UFC champions we’ve ever had, idc what anyone says #UFC323
