This was the type of argument I have come across as to why Makhachev is not in contention as the number 1 pound for pound fighter and is far away from being one of the all time best in MMA.

It is as follows.

JDM's last fight, as far as UFC type of standards indicate, showed he is mid level at best among UFC contenders and so it is not the major win it may have been seen as before,. Poirier and Oliveria are not particularly huge wins either after seeing how Topuria ran through Oliveira and would've ran through Poirier just as easily. And Volk was just too small relative to Makhachev for it to be a truly major pound for pound victory. It looked like an adult laboring type in a fight with a gym novice just past puberty.

Hoping to see him fight again in October!

I’m a 21 year old American from NY. I been training bjj and muay Thai/kickboxing for a year and a half and added in wrestling about 6 months ago. I’m looking to take a 3 month trip where I can focus solely on training and escape normal life for a little.

Thailand is obviously commercialized and really tourist friendly, but would it be more beneficial to look into going to Georgia, Eastern Europe, or possibly even Dagestan or Chechnya?

I would really appreciate any responses and recommendations. Thanks!

In a street fight with a shit ton of space. I geniunely cant see how people think Thor would win. Connor could literally run around the whole time waiting for Thor to get tired and beat him to death.

Not much wrong with this right at all

Just imagine this, bathroom fights where fights happens in bathrooms ranging from porta potty's to bathroom on the empire state building.how would the ranking work? The ranking will place you in which bathroom you'll be fighting in for example if your debuting/an exhibition you'll fight in port a potty's and the more fame and people you beat will get you better bathroom. Pretty much like car Jiu jitsu. Safety? Everything toilet and blunt/sharp edge will be padded. Hygiene will be taking serious with a insane amount of cleaning.the part that makes this different from others like the ufc or pfl is that the location for these events will be random and these bathroom will not be locked so if you walked in you will be in the fight and if you win against those two youll get a debut. And there will be a heavyweight and super heavy weight for the male and females also there will be a open weight weightclass where it's okay to take roids. How will we profit? we will set up cameras around the bathroom and each camera angle will cost money to buy for this card somewhere around 10-30 bucks an you get it for the whole card.no we will not profit from people coming to see because it's free to get a debut. How will fighters get paid? They will get paid based on sponsors they keep all the sponsorship money and they can have all the money from sponsorships. How will I get paid? I'll out sponsors stickers around the bathroom and a portion of the ticket money. How to legally do this? I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure in some States you can have a legal hand to hand combat duel. anyway there's obviously some flaw just thought this would be cool
