War Room Lounge v112: Well now I know why Sherdog hates migration.

How do fighters train when gyms are closed and social distancing is being enforced worldwide?

Flight restrictions and social distancing are being enforced worldwide and gyms are closed everywhere so it got me thinking how is the UFC going to run when we have these lockdown laws?

It was a long strange trip but we finally made it.

Anderson is to mma as Messi is to soccer, GSP is Cristiano

Yet another thread about the GOAT for this qarantine

Who is popularly considered in MMA what Messi is to soccer, Jordan to basket (Lebron is hard to deny), Federer at tennis, or Merckx to cycling?

It's a more open discussion in MMA but Anderson is the man in most people's mind worldwide, especially out of North America.

GSP is the equivalent to Cristiano, great athleticism and discipline, exceptionally good at what they do - Critiano: shooting/heading | GSP: jabbing/securing top position...

Semmy Schilt is proof that MMA fighters > kickboxers

I know that Alistair Overeem already proved this when he won his K-1 title. As have the other guys that went over to kickboxing and dominated like Rampage. And guys like Bob Sapp that beat their GOATs.

Semmy Schilt is another proof. He's the GOAT kickboxer, and he's often thought of as a kickboxer. He's NOT. His first pro kickboxing fight was 2002. His first pro MMA fight was in 1996. So, he was a mediocre MMA fighter that decided to fuck around in kickboxing and became the GOAT.

Countries with Untapped MMA potential

Dagestan was not even on the MMA radar until recently. Now Khabib and Zabit are paving the way for a lot of new talent.

What other countries are a likely source of new MMA talent?

Thailand I think is an obvious choice with their great tradition of Muay Thai fighters, especially at lighter weight classes.

Where else?

"It's easier to be an elite MMA fighter than an elite Boxer"

I have heard this argument by people many times. It's complete BS isn't it?

Will fighters with Corona Virus become weaker?

If this is true it could seriously effect testosterone and performance. If they catch the Virus who knows how they will be after

Members of the MMA community you would like to see go away

There's plenty of annoying people inside the MMA sphere. Who do you wish would go away and not come back?

My picks:

Commentator: Joe Rogan
He was one of the best and perhaps the best in his role, but now he is terrible. He doesn't seem to do his research before fights and doesn't seem to know who some of the fighters are. He is so biased towards certain fighters and styles and he influences public opinion too much. The way he and DC were dissing Yoel was wrong. They could have had valid...

How Triggered is Sherdog that a WMMA Fight Will Most Likely Win FOTY 2020?

You never saw fighters like Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva in snoozefests like these

What a downhill shit show the ufc has turned into. You never saw fighters like chuck, wanderlei, franklin, etc in pussy fights like these.

They need to start using yellow cards like pride did, start taking pay away . Some of these motherfuckers will be getting a bill instead of a check.

No one will ever remember these bullshit fights, fighters, or their "legacy". You walk into a crowded room right now, I bet you hardly anyone even knows who yoel Romero and isreal fuckityfuckity ada sacka...

Democrat Senator Ed Markey Introduces KIDS Act...Could potentially affect Sherdog.

https://www.tubefilter.com/2020/03/...ct-youtube-sponsored-content-unboxing-videos/

Ed Markey, the Democrat senator who wrote the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), has co-introduced a new bill that, if passed, would force platforms with users under the age of 16 to radically alter the way they operate.

“As children and teens increasingly spend their time on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and...

Joanna Jedrzejcyk responds to sherdog haters

This is her after the face off that she has copped hell on here

Direct response to the piranha tank imo

Have you guys ever used the Ignore function on Sherdog?

It works better than I thought it would. I thought you'd still be able to see the poster posting but just wouldn't be able to read the actual post.

But it actually removes their entire presence from the forum so you see literally nothing from them anymore. Pretty cool actually and highly effective.

Anyone remember this GTA 5 MMA commercial?

Sums up MMA just nicely.

Which Fighters Are Kryptonite To Other UFC Fighters?

I think Holly Holm is Ronda Rousey's kryptonite. I don't think Ronda would ever be able to beat Holly because Holly's style is perfect to beat Ronda. She can avoid her bullrush by using lateral movement and using her boxing to piece Ronda up when she goes for the clinch. Also, I don't think Ronda can take Holly down using her Judo and she's not able to outmuscle her like she did to everyone else.

Also, Rose Namajunas seems to be Joanna's kryptonite since she's beat her twice.

After watching women's MMA, I don't think mythical she-heroes are possible

We've all watched enough WMMA to know the deal.

They are slower, weaker, and less explosive than their male counterparts, by a large degree.

This is nothing new and is plainly obvious, even Joe Rogan will tell you that.

But having watched all that MMA, I don't think heroes like Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones can exist.

She went toe to toe with the Hound in the show, probably the most badass guy on the planet at that point, someone who slayed the undead Mountain zombie thing...
