Did Baruto retire from MMA ?

Did Baruto retire from MMA ?
He hasn't fought since his loss to Cro Cop which was over two years ago now, I thought the guy had some potential. Massive, rather agile, good top control, decent cardio for a guy who weights 400lb+.

MMA NEEDS A "standing 8 count" ? FEDOR vs Bader

MMA NEEDS A "standing 8 count" ? FEDOR vs Bader
This fight made me want to puke!

Fador wasn't even rocked... he just got caught with a flash knockdown and sustained a pretty nasty cut. I've been knocked off my feet before in a fight.

They had another quick stoppage that night... this problem isn't unique to Bellator or UFC it's all about Ring sport politics.

These guys aren't in there fighting with knives!

If they could get an automatic rematch off a ref stoppage I'd be okay with it but they don't....they have to go through the...

Fighters that fight beyond their prime...
Do not ruin their legacy.

In my opinion, a fighter who loves to fight will fight beyond the point where they have the advantage of youth. Some fighters quit when they aren’t prime anymore (GSP @32) while others continue to fight, even though they may have diminishing physicality.

People say a loss ruins a legacy (BJ, Anderson, Fedor) but I don’t think that continuing to fight is a bad thing versus quitting and only picking winnable fights (GSP vs Bisping then vacate).

It sucks to lose...

Fighters getting hate on social media after a loss
Man, it must be tough these days.

Not only do they have to deal with losing a match in the cage, in front of their coach and teammates, the audience in the arena and the TV/streaming viewers...

...but they also have to deal with all the haters who immediately swarm their Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to shame them, to tell them how much they sucked in the fight and deserved to lose. Plus their skills suck.

Khabib looks like an in shape guy don't get me wrong, but he doesn't look like he should be ragdolling and manhandling every guy he fights.

That's all I ever hear on this site...about how A+ athletes, football and basketball players would make the best fighters...I say that's all bullshit...always has been...some of the greatest fighters in history, were not great athletes...rocky marciano, wasn't athletic...he was fairly short, had a short reach...most likely couldn't run all that fast, dunk a baskball or play football all that great...so what does that mean...Absolutely nothing...the guy still had incredible cardio, hit like a...

Both main and co-main of ESPN debuts show what MMA is compared to other sports.
Co-main:
Greg Hardy, thrown from much more known and established sport in American Football for domestic violence, lands in MMA.
What does he do in MMA, in front of a huge audience? Blatantly breaks the rules. Shows exactly what kind of a sportsman he is. Gets praised by UFC.

Main:
OK, nice short fight between two champions, one beat the other one...OK. Wait, what does the president of UFC says? Ah, that was a horrible stoppage? And not even one nice word about the winner, who's supposed to...

Both main and co-main of ESPN debuts show what MMA is compared to other sports.
Amazing how the UFC tries to sell bums like Greg Hardy as worthy of co main event level fighters.
Literally a bum with no skill.

This guy would get beat up by Fujita and Heath Herring like he stole something.

UFC will hate on Fedor but will watch this bum and other bums like Derrick Lewis fight for a title with a smile.

Bob Arum was right about the UFC being garbage and junk.

A very insightful analysis. Well done, MMAJunkie

edit: I think he includes Woodley because McGregor might fight him for the title. McGregor won't fight other WWs who don't have the belt
Why would an MMA fan dislike Fedor?
First off, I don't mean if you think he is goat or a can crusher. That is a different debate. You can still like a can crusher. I don't get the actual dislike for the guy though. He has never said a god damn word so it can't be his thoughts. He always brings the fight and he has a just bleed type style a lot of times. His fights are always exciting, even in old age. He has never acted like a bitch or whined about shit. I cannot honestly think of one single reason why any mma fan would...

My WORST Sherdog peeve is how many people hate women. Not WMMA hate, I'm talkin' women hate.
My girlfriend is (was) familiar with Sherdog, which is why it eventually fell completely out of favor for her.

A current example of Sherbros being stupidly hateful (for lack of a better word) is regarding Rachael Ostovich.

Now, I get the WMMA hate, but the straight up...limp dick responses to women in general seems SO out of place to me on an MMA forum of all things...

I swear, it's worse than geek based forums of note...

Why is that?

It boggles my mind that people call Waterson and...

Today :

MMA 'Cans' - The Unsung Heroes...

Sadly, some fans seem obsessed with the W/L record, and are quick to dismiss a fighter´s career based solely on that.

Sequences during a fight are much more interesting imo, not the overall fight itself.
What Im looking forward to is the fighter´s evolution & the slick transitions he might showcase during
the fight.

Assessing a fighter´s career is generally something uneasy, especially when it comes to ol´school
fighters.

Deconstructing MMA Myths... [Part 9] - BJJ during the Vale Tudo Era...
Today :

MYTH: BJJ was already a dominant Martial Art prior to UFC 1, in Brazil, during the Vale Tudo Era..

In other words: Nobody knew how to deal with BJJ prior to the 1st UFC events...

The truth is that, between the 1930s & 1980s, BJJ was not that dominant in Brazil...

Between the 1930s and the 1950s, George Gracie had:

vs Takeo Yano : 1W-1L-4 draws
vs Roberto Ruhmann: 1W-3L
vs Grillo: 1W-1L
vs Yassuiti Ono: 1W-1L
vs Budip: 0W-1L
vs Jack Russel:...

I had no idea Lawler basically staked Woodley’s MMA career
Most interesting bit IMO of Tyron’s interview with Ariel on monday:


Whole interview is worth a watch but basically Tyron says about 10 yrs ago when he was first getting started, nobody was giving him a shot in the big leagues, then Strikeforce came to St. Louis headlines by Robbie/Jake Shields.

Tyron knew Robbie since theyre both from around the STL area and he says he asked him if he could put in a good word and Robbie did him one better, hooked him up...

90s MMA Kevin Randleman vs Kimo Leopoldo
It's the late 1990s Kevin Randleman just won the UFC championship against Pete Williams and instead of fighting Rizzo he fights Kimo instead in his next fight. Kimo definitely would have been the biggest opponent that Kevin fought up until that point and had some pretty good skills for the time do you think Kimo would have gotten the upset or does the monster keep the title? I honestly think Kevin would have won this fight but he was...

Pro fighters out of Gracie Torrance (Rener, Ryron, Rorion) besides Brian Ortega??
I remember that school had a reputation as being more commercial and was known for holding their students back and not promoting them to black belt. I trained there for a one day free class and it seemed a bit strict (beginners not allowed to roll/free train until 3 months, while other schools let you roll from day one). I chose the smaller but more relaxed RCJ Machado academy, also in Torrance, CA. They were more balanced in that they did a lot of no-gi and also had many people cross...

"[St-Pierre has] never been a natural fighter,” [Din] Thomas said. “He’s a great competitor – one of the greatest competitors the UFC’s ever seen. But he’s never been a natural fighter, and it’s hard to really learn how to do that. I think it goes all the way back to when he fought Matt Serra. When Matt hit him that first time, he turned away and started tapping....
