I don’t think anyone is hating on Blaydes for the 25 attempts. It’s that he didn’t do a whole lot once he got them. He’s straight merc’d fools from the guard and it was a bit disappointing he didn’t cave Volkov’s skull in.Anybody wanting to hate on blaydes let's try and shoot 25 shots straight and see what happens.. There's a reason wrestlers quit wrestling and start throwing hands.
All I'm saying is his conditioning is the shits.Randy has problems with Ricco and Chuck..I understand this isn't too entertaining but Don't act like beating a 7 foot Russian is easy bro
People (me and others) are upset that he is not entertaining us. In professional sports, it is entertainment. I was anything but entertained. I am not saying that what he did was not hard and did not take everything out of him, I'm just saying that this is not what makes me tune in. Employers will look at this the same way to justify pay. You make more when people want to see you.Anybody wanting to hate on blaydes let's try and shoot 25 shots straight and see what happens..

Just fought 25 mins straight vs a monster..idk what you're sayingAll I'm saying is his conditioning is the shits.
There's a reason Blaydes didn't quit wrestling. He doesn't have any other discernable skills.Anybody wanting to hate on blaydes let's try and shoot 25 shots straight and see what happens.. There's a reason wrestlers quit wrestling and start throwing hands.
And how many ppl have those skills?There's a reason Blaydes didn't quit wrestling. He doesn't have any other discernable skills.
You mean more than 1 skill? Most of the division.And how many ppl have those skills?
Try fighting at this level that long and see if you aren't entertaining.. Come on bro survival takes over and ppls satisfaction is irrelevantPeople (me and others) are upset that he is not entertaining us. In professional sports, it is entertainment.

He fought the same way when fresh in round 1. I don't see your point.Try fighting at this level that long and see if you aren't entertaining.. Come on bro survival takes over and ppls satisfaction is irrelevant
Most can't stop that skill can they.. This isn't boxing.. Kickboxing or bjj.. Blame the fighter getting handled bro..idk what y'all want from meYou mean more than 1 skill? Most of the division.
Volkov defended takedowns for 5 rounds. Why wasn't he sucking wind like he was just waterboarded?Just fought 25 mins straight vs a monster..idk what you're saying
Who won? When you got show/win money fighters are gonna get paid regardlessHe fought the same way when fresh in round 1. I don't see your point.
I was thinking the same thing but It takes a lot of horsepower to throw a 240 pound Russian around. Curtis was going HAM in the paint early. I think he thought he’d get the finish early.Blaydes should have better conditioning training in Denver
Tell your guys to stop it.. It's easy to critique guys if you've never felt that scenario.. Blame Volkov for getting mauled..wtf does a wrestler have to worry about? Everybody coming at me and blaydes when you need to go at these non wrestling fksVolkov defended takedowns for 5 rounds. Why wasn't he sucking wind like he was just waterboarded?
Blaydes obviously trained the takedown. Great. Obviously didn't train to do anything with it after that. Just sit there and lay in guard and hope the ref doesn't stand it. No advancement, no posturing and zero sub attempts.
Imagine if there was a full stadium. He'd been booed off stage.
Criticism comes with the game. This was a performance worth criticism.
He's got 1 win in the top 5.Most can't stop that skill can they.
Colby was going to get cut for a boring style irrelevant on wins due to being boring. He decided to attempt to get himself killed in Brazil with post fight remarks and that is why the company kept him. I'm just saying, Blaydes isn't doing himself any favors by dry humping.Who won? When you got show/win money fighters are gonna get paid regardless
My guys? Not sure what you mean.Tell your guys to stop it.. It's easy to critique guys if you've never felt that scenario.. Blame Volkov for getting mauled..wtf does a wrestler have to worry about? Everybody coming at me and blaydes when you need to go at these non wrestling fks
This is basically the reason I stopped getting hyped for GSP fights. I didn’t hate the guy for using his wrestling to win a decision, I just didn’t excited to watch it. These guys are fighting for a paycheck and it’s all business in the end. Blaydes won’t sell out a stadium with that style but it usually gets him the W.Volkov defended takedowns for 5 rounds.

Like a Heavyweight John Fitch.My guys? Not sure what you mean.
Nobody is coming at you, don't take it personal. Not many fighters have ever escaped the criticism of lay and pray.
