First Goff and now you ragging on my man DC? I didn't realize that you were getting your opinions out of the trash.

hahaha. I was saying Goff was dope as shit! He looked like a killer.

And until he's beaten a third time by the same guy, DC is the GOAT. His record stands for himself (read back about what I said about DC, nothing but praise).

He may be the GOAT, but JBJ absolutely owns him.

LOT of feelings in that post.

I just can't wait for DC/Brock to undersell on PPV, Jones to have ridiculous ratings at ESPN, only to set up DC/Jones 3 and watch DC get dragged at HW. Gonna be a great year!

Just provide the link next time...MMA been getting buried on my feed due to things like false accusations of judges.

IRT DC/Brock? Brock Lesnar, another habitual user. What a sideshow of a fight. It probably will be shit. Will Jones actually do well on ESPN+ eh idk. We'll see, I doubt everyone from Fight Pass joins the migration.
 
I am pumped for this time. Brendan Schaub's opinion on Conor's lack of normal promotion for this fight was interesting. He basically said Conor knows he's in for the fight of his life and has taken his camp seriously... I dig that.

Super amped up for this one!!!

Hey fellas. Quick question. I'm currently training and trying to convert my body from weight training focused to cardio/flexibility focused before I land an option 40 contract. This conversion opens up a lot of opportunity for injury, so I'm trying to do this right.

I do a lot of MMA, specifically Muay Thai, BJJ, and Kickboxing, as a hobby. My question is if doing forms of martial arts is a good or bad idea while training for SOF? I figure this particular skillset would be good to have going in, but I don't want to be doing anything that will hinder my progress before enlisting.

Let's put it this way: if you get your ass injured prior to initial entry training you might not even make it through basic. It's fine to stay strong and train up, but if you fuck up a knee or pull a hamstring, it could be the end of SOF for you.

@JWGen3, I'll offer up a little advice since you asked. I have been involved in either practicing or teaching martial arts for 41 years now. I had been taking martial arts for almost eight years when I enlisted in the Marine Corps. After enlisting into the DEP, I quit all full-contact events because the Marine Corps meant more to me than injuring myself and preventing me from doing what I know I was supposed to do.

Now, with that said, you can still do martial arts "type" training, but you don't need to be doing any grappling or any other full-contact type training once you sign up. The risk for injury is too great and isn't truly worth the risk -- if you sincerely want to serve your nation through military service.

You need to spend most of your time on running, bodyweight exercises, and getting your mind right. Always remember that your MIND will quit BEFORE your BODY does.

Once there, never quit and remember to always drive onward...
 
Conor either puts him away within 2 rounds or else hes getting wrestle fucked until he either taps or the fifth round finishes.

Looking forward to seeing Tony Ferguson in action after his layoff. It'll be interesting to see if Pettis targets his knee and if it'll have any major effect.
 
Khabib didn't have really good hands in any of the fights I saw, but yeah his grappling and ground and pound is AAA+. I'm not seeing McGregor put him away easily though.

This is going to be epic any way it goes.
 
I can not wait for this card. Really excited.

Something interesting- Khabib (never lost a round in the octagon) did NOTHING different for this camp. Same training, same prep, same pressers, same everything.

Meanwhile, Connor didn't do as much press, his pressers were flatter than normal, information is coming out about how much wrestling he's focused on, etc.

When a fighter does something different in a camp, I wonder why. This might not matter at all, but it is a fun wrinkle.

and @ThunderHorse , I am equally ready to get a bottle sent my was as I am ready to buy a nice bottle and send it yours. At this point, who knows, but it's freaking exciting.

It's seems like Schaub and Rogan covered it pretty well. Khabib isn't changing anything, cause if its worked 26 times before, why change?

Connor knows he has the knockout power, but if Khabib gets him to the ground he'll be in trouble.

It's gonna be a good fight. Hope it goes a few rounds. It'd be annoying to have all this hype only for a first round KO or submission.

Meh, them's the breaks! You sort of accept flash knockouts or subs if you watch enough MMA. Yeah, I wish every title fight was a 5 round war decided in the last minute, but fights are fights sometimes.

@ThunderHorse I 110% considered getting you Proper 12 whisky- but I figured you for a more discerning taste as far as the water of life was concerned.

Thank you for taking into account my tastes in regards to the gravity of our gentlemanly wager.
