IDK. Every time I watch a Sox game now. I'll just think Timmy Anderson is the manager and not TLR. At least he stands up for his teammates

smoky fable
#

He's always animated in the dug out

dim kettle
#

Also the irony that TLR will go after Yermin for breaking unwritten rules but TLR has no problem breaking basic laws.

I wouldn't coach the Lions. QueenKEKW

#

detroit too poverty

#

goff will have a rough tme

dim kettle
#

Seems like one of the shittest jobs in sports to have. Imagine having to coach a poorly run team and live in shitty weather too.

#

The Rays just came back from 5-0 deficit 6-6 rn

celest zephyr
#

nice

#

Arozarena with 2 homers tonight

dim kettle
#

Choi comes in. Randy hits a dinger.

#

Actually, 2 homers in back to back ABs for Randy

You can take the Grizzles out of Vancouver, but you can't take the Vancouver out of the Grizzles.

smoky fable
#

Also, apparently Kwame Brown is taking a scorched earth tactic to guys like Matt Barnes, Stephen A.

celest zephyr
#

crazy that the north div playoffs only start today

dim kettle
#

The Bruins tied it up

#

I love how the Flames and Canucks are just casually playing reg season games still.

celest zephyr
#

yeah they dd

#

lol

#

nhl was like screw it we can't wait longer put the jets-oilers game today

dim kettle
#

That's what the Flames get for choking all of these years. Having to play the Canucks in purgatory while everyone else is having fun.

celest zephyr
#

that has to have been torture for both teams

#

wilson missed a wide open net

dim kettle
#

Karma?

celest zephyr
#

possibly

#

rask was next to the right post and the middle and left were completely open

#

rask wouldn't have been able to stop it

dim kettle
celest zephyr
#

MEM run

#

lmao

#

this is a crazy series so far

#

crazy how long breaks are

dim kettle
#

One dude just reminded me that the last time the Caps had 3 straight games with OTs was 2018. Excuse me, I'll just weep in the corner for a few. MoriaFeels

celest zephyr
#

leafs haven't won against boston in a playoff series since 1959

#

its been 62 years

#

oh it was against the cbj

honest umbra
#

this game is such a snoozefest

#

no wonder 9th and 10th seeds arent in playoffs every year

celest zephyr
#

its weird

#

like its close

#

but the spurs just can't seem to close in

dim kettle
#

One day the memes will die. Like the Caps not beating the Pens in the second round, or the Bolts choking when it matters.

honest umbra
#

how are SA shooting 32% and down like 5

#

some of their shots are so bad

celest zephyr
#

they won't lol

honest umbra
#

lakers vs warriors ratings are prob gonna be 10x this

celest zephyr
#

the leafs losing to a zamboni driver will be a meme forever

dim kettle
#

If the Cubs can win a WS after 108 years. The Leafs can sure as hell win.

honest umbra
#

cubs?

#

dont they suck again/

dim kettle
#

They're okay. But, hey, they can sink into Lake Michigan with a title at least.

celest zephyr
#

me as a raptors fan now

dim kettle
#

Hey, you can say for this year. One team had to suck in Tampa this year.

#

I kid you not though. They were selling Raptor stuff here like they played here for 20 years or something. QueenKEKW

#

Choi just gave the Rays the lead. Choi - The Face of Tampa Bay Sports.

celest zephyr
#

might have wanted a basketball team for a while

dim kettle
#

Here in Florida is weird. Tampa and Orlando almost never mention each other. You can't even get Magic stuff in my area.

celest zephyr
#

interesting

#

magic haven't been good lately so its whatever ig

dim kettle
#

It was like that even when they were good. You'd be lucky to find a hat or something of the Magic at a Sporting Store here in the Tampa Area.

celest zephyr
#

ah yeah that's weird

#

guess there's some bad blood then or something like that

dim kettle
#

No, I think it's just because they're two different cities.

celest zephyr
#

ah true

#

makes sense

dim kettle
#

I remember listening to a Magic podcast and they mention the Lightning and were like. "They really like their hockey." Like they're at a long distance or something. It's only a hour and a half away from each other.

tall temple
honest umbra
#

only 15??

tall temple
#

yeah

celest zephyr
#

seems to be weird there's that much of one with them being so close

honest umbra
#

i have 25 dollars though

celest zephyr
#

man kat for 1 dollar kinda seems like a steal

tall temple
#

embiid for $3 is even bigger of a steal

#

its kinda hard to decide on a lineup tho

#

accounting for usage percentages and shit

#

like bron and harden, who gets the ball

celest zephyr
#

maybe giannis, embiid, curry, d mitch, booker

#

idk its hard

honest umbra
#

isnt that 14

celest zephyr
#

tatum then lol

#

instead of ingram

honest umbra
#

u different

celest zephyr
#

maybe jokic other than embiid and then ingram still, but also fine with what i had before

#

12 minutes of ot holy shit

tall temple
celest zephyr
#

money

#

shoot tatum is 3 lol

tall temple
#

oh shit

#

it's 15

celest zephyr
#

then booker LOL

tall temple
#

fate confused me with the fucking 25

celest zephyr
#

2 is weird cuz don't want any of them other than maybe pg

#

i'll stick with booker

tall temple
#

cp3, harden, kawhi, embiid, zion?

#

hmmm

celest zephyr
#

d mitch at 3 might not work huh

#

screw it i'll just let him run the 3

honest umbra
#

MEM won

#

not surprising

celest zephyr
#

yeah lol

#

making a team is ahrd lol

tall temple
#

it really is

#

dmitch at 3 is not right

#

that doesn't sound good hmm

celest zephyr
#

yeah it ain't

#

my options are play pg there or ingram

tall temple
#

hmm

#

take PG over booker i think

honest umbra
#

idk what team yall picking

tall temple
#

then you can run dmitch at two

honest umbra
#

but if lebron aint in it

#

its a wrong team

tall temple
#

i need to rethink my lineup, dont like zion in it

celest zephyr
#

yeah lol

tall temple
#

with embiid

celest zephyr
#

i think ill go with that then

tall temple
#

i want cp3 and harden thats for sure

#

as well as embiid

celest zephyr
#

yeah pg with his defence

#

okay i'll just go with embiid, curry, giannis, pg3 and d mitch

honest umbra
#

lebron, curry, embiid, pg, zion

#

aint no one beating this team

tall temple
#

there's actually no good power forwards

#

lmao

honest umbra
#

barely any good pf's irl

#

who even classifies as a pf anymore

tall temple
#

giannis, ad zion

honest umbra
#

its either a big man who can shoot or not

tall temple
#

and i dont have enough money

celest zephyr
#

lol

#

i went giannis

honest umbra
#

cant believe yall would go giannis voer lebron

#

when u already going embiid

celest zephyr
#

thinking about age

#

a bit lol

honest umbra
#

this aint current

#

aint no where it says that

tall temple
#

kyrie, pg, tatum, ad, embiid

#

15 dollars there itis

celest zephyr
#

going full youth would be ingram, booker ig but pg is fine

#

2 ots wow

#

well prime then lebron lol but i feel like they want 2020-2021

#

cuz like prime lebron would be worth 6

tall temple
#

if its all time you getting LBJ steph indy pg embiid and like kat or something

#

BI or zion

celest zephyr
#

morant dagger ft

#

yeah i'd do that lol

tall temple
#

morant didn't have the step up season i expected him to have

celest zephyr
#

kat, bi or zion

tall temple
#

kat doesn't fit with embiid

#

cant have them on the same team

#

its toxic

celest zephyr
#

yeah it is

#

they have beef

#

so then i guess i'll bet on zion

#

being good at defence

#

wiggins starts off

#

gs on a run

#

12-4

haughty moss

The Rays with 6 straight wins.

It's such a shame that this Caps and Bruins series has to be in the 1st round.

celest zephyr

dim kettle
#

And the Pens or Isles are just waiting for them.

celest zephyr
#

turnovers costing them two games in arow

dim kettle
#

Dude, Craig. What the hell were you doing, man?

#

I haven't seen such goofy ass shit from a goaltender in the playoffs since Quick in 2013.

celest zephyr
#

what did he do

dim kettle
#

He just handed it to one of the Blues players and scored in OT.

rotund carbon
#

The Fakers proving thag they arent even worth a Playoff Playin spot

celest zephyr
#

that was rough

#

what did craig do lol

Crosby> Gretzky

If crosby played garbagemen and janitors hed drop 2x the points

When AD plays bad they lose

honest umbra
#

AD played bad all first half of the szn

#

they were 2nd seef

#

and he was a MVP candidate

celest zephyr
#

NSH really went from 1-0 to 3-0

#

really just suddenly flopped

honest umbra

celest zephyr

dim kettle
rotund carbon
#

Aww

#

I just realized

#

When we 4-1 the Islanders

#

We will only be able to destroy the hopes of the Caps/Bruins in rd 2

#

I wanna destroy their hopes in the Conf championship

celest zephyr
#

holy shit the blues gave up a goal in the first minute

rotund carbon

rotund carbon
#

Even if you won the ring 1 hour ago

celest zephyr
#

rotund carbon
#

Who cares

#

We have rings in 2016 2017 2021 so i dont get how in salty about recent years

dim kettle
#

I mean, for me. Even with the cup last year I still can't stop thinking about that 2019 playoff disaster

celest zephyr
#

ah true

rotund carbon
#

Anyways

rustic ore
#

I can, cause I have a short term memory, also ngl not the biggest hockey fan in general, certainly nowhere near to the degree that I'm an NFL fan

celest zephyr
#

2021? huh where lol

rotund carbon
#

Same

rustic ore
#

Still enjoy it though

rotund carbon
#

I only follow the Penguins when they are good

#

So basically every year

celest zephyr

I aint a fan to watch Isaiah Roby

rotund carbon
#

I am loyal to NFL and NCAA

dim kettle
#

Yeah, that happens a lot I see from basketball fans. From the Heat, to the Cavs, to the Warriors to the Lakers.

celest zephyr
#

ah lol

rotund carbon
#

I dont do that

dim kettle
#

And I don't blame them.

rotund carbon

Root for good games not wins

rotund carbon
#

I dont with the NFL tho

#

Cant say Steelers have been bad in the last 20 yrs

dim kettle
#

Yeah, yeah, Baseball is just very nice to sit back, relax and watch.

celest zephyr
#

man so many ads

rotund carbon
#

But i watch wins and losses

rustic ore
#

Baseball games are fun to watch in person though

dim kettle

Baseball is just relaxing to watch, but can be stressful at the same time.

Went to see an Orioles game when I went to Maryland for my cousin's wedding a few years ago, one of the nicest stadiums I've ever seen

rotund carbon
#

I was mad confused why they made the play in like this

Camden Yards. I wish to go there one day.

Baltimore is so nasty

dim kettle

They put more effort into their stadium they do the team. FranKEKer

rustic ore
#

It's funny cause it's true

rotund carbon
#

The city spends more on the garbo sports teams than anything else

#

I wont return to Baltimore

dim kettle
#

Yeah, Baltimore is a dumpster fire. I drove through there a couple of times.

rustic ore
#

I only took an Uber when I visited there, the drivers are insane

rotund carbon
#

I live near so ive been and its just so trashy

rustic ore
#

Could never live in a metropolis

rotund carbon
#

Ye

rustic ore

I'll take my quiet suburban neck of the woods any day of the week

dim kettle
#

Tampa is a lot more cleaner than Baltimore. Besides the traffic.

rustic ore
#

Do quite enjoy Tampa

#

More of a Largo boy myself though, nice living so close to the beach

dim kettle
#

I do live in the boonies myself. About a hour from Tampa though.

The Keys though? AceJustRight

Walmarts down here actually sell winter stuff in the winter months. I have a lot of Buccaneer winter clothes.

So if the Lakers lose this game is there season over or do they still have another shot at making the playoffs?

Interesting

haughty moss

#

morant has been a bit of a letdown

rotund carbon
#

If this pans out with Curry leading in scoring and winning by 11+ i win $125K

rustic ore
#

Good enough to beat the Lakers with LeBron not 100%?

celest zephyr
#

nba made this complicated

whole bear
#

memphis kinda good but i dont think they can beat the lakers

celest zephyr
#

probably not

#

but if they play hard and the lakers play like this then maybe

whole bear
#

playoffs would have started now right?

rotund carbon
#

Since i already hit first half points for Curry

rustic ore
#

Well, hope you win your bet my dude ZeusMonka

dim kettle
#

If the Lakers lose and beat Memphis. They'll face the Jazz. You see, the NBA has made the playoffs into this gimmicky crap just for TV ratings.

rotund carbon

He hit 5 threes in the 1st half

haughty moss
#

wtf 125k lol

steph man

rotund carbon

Literally all you had to do was pick warriors to win by 11+ and curry to lead

he was elite

tony is still fine for now, yeah he got absolutely dominated, but its by three other monsters, when he starts losing against even lower ranked fighters then yeah.. its time

celest zephyr
#

Hmm, I will be honest I think Tony should either hang up his gloves now or get cut

#

I understand that they were monsters

#

but he is almost 40 years old

bitter rover
#

have to remember this is still their living in some cases, and what they dedicated their life to, just because they cant beat the aboslute elite doesnt mean you have to get cut

celest zephyr
#

he is going to deteriorate even more and at a far faster pace

#

no no dont get me wrong I fully understand

#

Honestly

#

best choice right now would be

#

if Conor loses to Dustin again

#

give Tony a payday that would be let him go into the sunset

#

by fighting Conor

bitter rover
#

yeah

celest zephyr
#

Beside that, I don't see him beating anyone in top 5 anymore.

bitter rover
#

at least he didnt take a lot of head trauma the last two fights

celest zephyr
#

Yeah

#

I would say he should fight Islam but I think Islam easily takes it

bitter rover
#

yeah for real

celest zephyr
#

Unfortunately on top of losing to father time, his bottom game has been badly exposed

bitter rover
#

one legacy fight but that would still be relevant in terms of rankings would be tony vs felder, loser gets out of of top ten, both are older too, but theyre big names and can headline an event

celest zephyr
#

Oh shit that is a good matchup

#

Felder just openly admitted on Twitter to dodging the Islam match up

#

so he is looking for something that isn't one-sided

#

The Tony fight would be perfect

bitter rover
#

yeah

#

conor vs tony tho, id love it

celest zephyr
#

Yeah that is if Conor loses again

bitter rover
#

if he faces the conor that showed up last time, im actually favoring tony lol

celest zephyr
#

he could surprise everyone

bitter rover
#

heck even if dustin loses

#

tony vs dustin is a decent match up too, they never fought

celest zephyr
#

Dustin wins that by a long shot tbh

#

in my opinion

bitter rover
#

yeah

#

dustin got the best striking in the division, and got the cardio to back it up

#

but he doesnt have an iron chin id think, but tony doesnt punch that hard so

celest zephyr
#

Yeah Tony does not have KO power

#

he just accumulates damage on you

#

But Dustin is like a rock

#

so not sure how that would work

bitter rover
#

ive read a lot of what some people have said about tony, and what they say makes sense.
the reason he has been losing is because he lacks fundamentals, both in grappling and in striking, and he always relied on his atheltic ability to win fights, but that doesnt work when you get older and thats why he has been getting dominated basically

#

look at glover, old as shit, but still winning

#

because his technique and fundamentals are strong

bitter rover
#

should do gaethje vs poirier if poirier loses

#

mma man, its irl manga FujiLUL

celest zephyr
celest zephyr
#

I just realized Gaethje still doesn't have a matchup right?

bitter rover
#

nope

#

maybe chandler if chandler wants to get back at it quickly

#

i think gaethje is waiting to see everything play out

#

Arozarena 3 run homer ZoroNut

bitter rover
# celest zephyr Yeah I was suprised to see his BJJ not put to good use, I assumed it was well ve...

someone explained it like, Tony is from wreslting background, and he upped his game in BJJ with tenth planet, eddie bravo, but most grapplers that comes to tenth planet are already high level grapplers from elsewhere where they have drilled in the fundamentals, and it seems like they place less importance on it in tenth planet, so tony has always been lacking in it, but made it up with his athletic ability and slick subs he learned from tenth planet 🤷‍♂️

celest zephyr
#

Oh Tony has a wrestling background? I didn't even know, hard to notice after those last 2 fights 👀

bitter rover
#

lmao

slim geyser
burnt cedar
#

The only thing they really implement is the rubber guard

#

Which Tony didn’t use that much

#

His teammate Ben Saunders used it a lot in the ufc but he didn’t really have much success

#

I think the bjj they teach they there is more suited for competitions and not mma

#

The Tony fighting of his back myth also got answered last two fights

#

I mean it got answered vs Kevin Lee to before Lee gassed out

#

Sadly history won’t look back too fondly on T-Ferg and the wins on his win streak have aged horribly

#

Don’t think I have him in the top 5 of lightweight history

bitter rover
#

barboza and rda were good wins

#

pettis wasnt too bad

burnt cedar
#

Nah the Pettis win I don’t really rate that much

#

Pettis was fighting to stay ranked not too long before the Tony fight

#

Rda and Barboza were good wins

#

Rda maybe less since he eye poked him in the 4th OdaHaa

#

I think if Rda knew how easy it would be to take Tony down and control him he probably would have won it

#

Better grappler than Dariush and maybe just under Oliveira

bitter rover
burnt cedar
bitter rover
#

one of the reasons i think gaethje is a bit overrated tbh

burnt cedar
#

He gets away with it

#

The Khabib fight he was so poor

bitter rover
#

knocks barboza out after eyepoking him, then fought two oldies in cowboy and tony

burnt cedar
#

Khabib Poirier Alvarez Edgar and then maybe Tony I’ll be fair

bitter rover
#

lw goats?

burnt cedar
#

But with a lot of good talent on the come up I think Tony and Edgar may fall out

#

Yeah lw goats

#

Alvarez gets really underrated imo

bitter rover
#

i dunno, i cant see how tony could get dropped out before alvarez

burnt cedar
#

Alvarez does have better wins albeit less than Tony

#

Rda as champ and Gaethje > the rda Tony beat and Barboza

bitter rover
#

oof i dunno man

#

ok, alvarez best win is gaethje

#

because i remember something about rda having health and weight issues before his fight with alvarez

#

but then you say tony eye poked him

#

so i guess that makes the rda wins equal

#

then alvarez got three split decision wins against chandler, pettis, gilbert melendez

burnt cedar
#

Melendez was trash so I wouldn’t hold too much weight in that

bitter rover
#

KOs over shinya aoki, and patricky freire

#

loss to chandler and cowboy

burnt cedar
#

If I had to order Tony’s wins

#

Rda, Barboza, Pettis

#

Not sure what would be next

bitter rover
#

tony got a win over yves edwards before he lost to micheal johnson

burnt cedar
#

Yeah

bitter rover
#

submitted abel trujilo and gleison tibau (thats probably why people didnt want to take him down before)

burnt cedar
#

Yeah isn’t tibau the only guy to take Khabib down lol

bitter rover
#

submitted barboza and kevil lee

#

yeah

burnt cedar
#

The Kevin Lee one

#

He did have staph

bitter rover
#

decision wins over josh thompson and rda

burnt cedar
#

And I felt like Lee was winning comfortably

#

But can’t blame Tony for Lee’s deficiency

dim kettle
bitter rover
#

everyone looks good against tony at the beginning

#

just look at lando vannata FujiLUL

#

tkoed pettis and cowboy

celest zephyr
bitter rover
#

lost then to gaethje, oliviera current champ and on a 9 win streak and dariush on a 7 win streak

#

i still think fergusons record is better and more impressive

#

more finishes

#

losses to legit contenders

celest zephyr
#

Yeah I was going to say

#

Dariush is so heavily underrated

bitter rover
#

7 fight win streak man and most of them against killers

#

knocked out james vick before it was lame

celest zephyr
#

oh

#

no way

#

they gave him #3

#

looks like he just threw himself into the mix

burnt cedar
#

How he only lost to killers too

#

Feel like the guys he lost to bar chandler are better than Tony’s

bitter rover
#

in ONE?

burnt cedar
#

Nah not one

bitter rover
#

temujin is legit but

burnt cedar
#

Eddie now is finished now

#

But I mean we put Tony in ONE

#

Is he winning?

celest zephyr
#

Tony and Eddie are the same age

#

btw

bitter rover
#

eddie the only guy to get knocked out by mcnuggets in LW QueenKEKW

celest zephyr
#

just wanted to point that out

burnt cedar
#

The Conor he lost too was pretty good tbh

#

Bruh I thought Eddie was like 50

#

Why’s he look so old lmao

bitter rover
#

goddamn dariushs record is impressive

#

he beat prime micheal johnson

celest zephyr
#

Yeah he is really slept on because of how stacked LW

bitter rover
#

same guy that beat tony and poirier

celest zephyr
#

I am happy to see him 3rd, time is running out he needs to get a title shot in if he wants to leave his mark

burnt cedar
#

Cdf and Moises are really good wins too

celest zephyr
burnt cedar
#

He controlled cdf easily

celest zephyr
#

I just think that version of Conor still doesn't stand a chance in today's LW division

burnt cedar
#

Hmm

bitter rover
#

jim miller, CDF TWICE, and anthony rocco martin who went to a nice little streak in ww after that

burnt cedar
#

I think that Conor who beat Eddie would have beat Poirier in January

bitter rover
burnt cedar
#

Let’s not forget this version of Conor won the first round

bitter rover
#

for islam too

burnt cedar
#

Yeah the current Conor is too boxing heavy with his footwork

celest zephyr
#

I mean don't get me wrong Conor looked great in the first round but we can't over look how good Poirier has gotten

bitter rover
#

depends if he fought that years poirer or the current poirer imo

burnt cedar
#

The old one had a lot of success with his Karate stance

bitter rover
#

poirer right now is the best he has ever been

#

poirier*

celest zephyr
burnt cedar
#

I think the Poirier who won from pettis to Holloway was the best Poirier but he’s still pretty good now

#

A better fight would be that tbh

bitter rover
#

ill take this years poirier

burnt cedar
#

205 Conor vs the Poirier until Khabib

#

That’s a much closer fight

bitter rover
#

that one i think conor wins

burnt cedar
#

Really

#

I thought version of Poirier was god level

bitter rover
#

poirier got into too much brawls with eddie and gaethje

burnt cedar
#

He did get into one with Hooker

bitter rover
#

after khabib loss his striking looks better against max, dan and conor

burnt cedar
#

Max was pre Khabib

bitter rover
#

oh fuck

celest zephyr
#

I look forward to Gaethje's return as well

burnt cedar
#

I think they should do Gaethje Chandler

celest zephyr
#

I also personally don't see Conor standing any chance against Gaethje

burnt cedar
#

I think Gaethje murders chandler

#

And Conor

celest zephyr
#

Yeah that matchup makes sense

burnt cedar
#

One leg kick

#

And it’s over

#

Neither of them can take them

bitter rover
celest zephyr
#

Conor is probably

#

going to spend all these months

#

just checking leg kicks

#

😂

burnt cedar
#

Lmao

#

Then Dustin brings in a new tool

#

Which he hasn’t prepared for

celest zephyr
#

You think Conor hangs his gloves if he loses this fight?

burnt cedar
#

He’ll always tease the Nate fight

bitter rover
#

and then when conor loses, he will defend himself by saying he focused on too much leg kick defense than improving his striking
you get the reference?

celest zephyr
bitter rover
#

conor always excused his losses to his camps

burnt cedar
#

No matter how badly they become bums they’ll always have the trilogy

#

Casuals will eat it up

celest zephyr
#

he would be 1-3 in his last 4..

#

and I mean he just got another $150 mil in his recent deal

burnt cedar
#

I mean Nate is like 20-15 in his career and people still think he’s a killer lmao

celest zephyr
#

I literally see no reason for him to continue fighting

bitter rover
#

if conor loses the nate trilogy then he should get cut, fr

celest zephyr
#

all he is doing is ruining his own legacy

burnt cedar
#

That’s it

#

His ego

bitter rover
#

he barely won their second fight

celest zephyr
#

True

burnt cedar
#

They should make Conor fight Islam

celest zephyr
#

LOL no way thats happening

burnt cedar
#

Promise him a shot at Khabib

#

Which he’d be deluded enough to take

bitter rover
#

i could see them doing conor vs rda tbh, the fight that never happened

celest zephyr
#

Hmm, maybe

#

I do remember their manager saying

#

if he wants to fight Khabib

#

he needs to fight Islam

#

I feel bad for Islam

#

his route to the title is taking so long because literally all of top 10 is dodging him right now

#

Don't blame them, his grappling control is on par with Khabib and his striking is actually pretty decent

burnt cedar
#

Same happened to Khabib

bitter rover
#

dunno if it was ali or someone from the ufc, but they said islam is promised a top contender by the end of the year if he wins against moises

celest zephyr
#

Yeah I read that too

burnt cedar
#

He’s basically Khabib 2.0

bitter rover
#

maybe it was DC

celest zephyr
#

I am predicting Islam to be champion by mid 2022

#

if the end of the year fight happens

#

and he wins

burnt cedar
#

Would it be vs Oliveria is the question

celest zephyr
#

If Conor were to beat Dustin, he fights Oliveria right away the UFC wouldn't let anything else happen

#

and if he were to somehow beat Oliveria

#

it could be possible to have Islam vs Conor

#

but that is just the fantasy scenario for me

#

who knows what happens

#

I wouldn't be surprised if they refused to let Oliveria sign any matchups until post July

bitter rover
#

dariush said he wont fight until end of the year or next year, maybe we will get islam vs dariush

#

could honestly see dariush winning it

celest zephyr
#

Oh yeah good point

#

Dariush is top 3 now so he would be massive

#

yeah I actually have no idea how that matchup would go, Dariush's grappling is really impressive

bitter rover
#

i think dariush got a better shot at islam than oliviera for some reason lol

celest zephyr
#

but I also remember watching an interview where DC mentioned that Islam's grappling has even surpassed Khabib's

#

not sure if it was just an attempt to build hype

bitter rover
#

probably

#

look what khabib did to gaethje, and what islam did to dober

celest zephyr
#

he would either need to get a lucky lock or do something on the feet

#

Which is why I give Dariush a better chance as well

bitter rover
celest zephyr
#

Yup I agree wholeheartedly

#

Now we just wait to see how that July matchup plays out

#

its like the whole divisions future is centered around it even though it isn't a title fight

bitter rover
#

what about oliviera vs conor or poirier?

#

i think theyre both winnable for oliviera

#

obv the grappling vs conor

#

but i dunno, i could also see conor having a shot at knocking oliviera out

#

feels like oliviera vs conor would end within the two first rounds by a finish from either guy

#

and poirier vs oliviera would last longer

celest zephyr
#

Something that was Chandler's massive disadvantage

#

was the reach difference

bitter rover
#

yeah

celest zephyr
#

Not sure how the Poirier match up with oliviera would play out, that is actually a good quesiton

bitter rover
#

im thinking dustin slowly gets picked apart striking because of reach, and grappling because of olivieras superior bjj

#

what dustin is lacking is his wrestling id think

celest zephyr
#

yeah his bjj is actually not that too bad tbh

#

kinda underrated

bitter rover
#

yeah but his wrestling seems to be worse

celest zephyr
#

yeah true

#

He hasn't really had to wrestle aside from the Khabib fight and I think Olivera's wrestling is weak too

bitter rover
#

which would lead me into thinking oliviera will control most of the grappling, but dustins bjj is good enough survive

celest zephyr
#

Yeah possibly, the only reason

bitter rover
#

i think olivieras wrestling is better than dustins tbh

celest zephyr
#

I criticize Olivera's wrestling is because it has only been effective against weaker opponents

#

but Dustin is overall a very strong LW

bitter rover
#

kind of want to rewatch lee vs oliviera now

#

is there any fight this weekend?

celest zephyr
#

That Oliviera Lee fight was great, its what put Oliviera on the map for me

#

I was so disappointed in Lee, such a horrible fall off

#

and uh I believe

#

there isnt

#

OH NO WAIT

#

THERE IS

#

how could I forget

#

Cody is fighting

bitter rover
#

for me it was oliviera vs jim miller and teymur

#

ohhhhh

bitter rover

yeah

celest zephyr
#

yeah

bitter rover
#

he beat younger pettis too i think

celest zephyr
#

oh yeah he did

#

he is on a nice streak but I think if Cody can go back to his roots and fight like he did pre-TJ

#

he should win

#

but who knows

#

He hasn't looked the same in years

bitter rover
#

yeah who knows, im not ready to believe in him

celest zephyr
#

Yeah even though he won the last fight it was very iffy and he almost made the same mistake

bitter rover
#

assuancao was getting old

celest zephyr
#

he keeps making

#

very old

#

and on a losing streak

bitter rover
#

rob font got maybe equally good boxing

#

but better defensively

#

and better chin FujiLUL

celest zephyr
#

😂

bitter rover
#

man it must suck to get a weak chin in fighting

celest zephyr
#

Yeah it is the one thing you can never train to fix

#

and on top of that, it is actually so detrimental to your whole fight

bitter rover
#

yeah

#

even age id think, thinking about jacare getting knocked out by kevin like that

celest zephyr
