UFC 319 Live Discussion - Sat 8/16

Lamont Cranston said:
Honest, I don't think he was.

He was head and shoulders above most f his competition but he wasn't ready for the UFC for a long time imo.

But there is no doubt he is now and his defence vs Cannonier shows he is ready but not only for his defence.

And suddenly he is?
Bruh, he's 39.
He learned/implemented TDD when he had to.
There is no "UFC-level", muck like there's no "K-1 level".
It's just a bunch of elite fighters adapting to rulesets & environment.
Look at MVP vs. Raymond Daniels, their respective transitions...Tyrone Spong...Stephen Thompson....Lyota Machida....
Anderson Silva wasn't "UFC-level" after Ryo Chonan popped his ankle, even after flatluning Carlos Newton, then immediately came over & starched Leben.
It's idiotic.
UFC just happens to be wrestling-friendly ruleset.
In Pride Randy Courure would've been yellow-carded into oblivion.

The "UFC-Level" moniker is retarded

Fair enough, maybe we should use the term, "UFC style ready?"
 
I remember Aaron Pico had a massive amount of hype when he first came out and got knocked out by some nobody. He’s obviously rebounded, but for ME Lerone Murphy is the proven guy. He’s fought the best of the best! Ige is better than Pico. Emmett is better than Pico. I just hope we get a REAL FIGHT, not no weird Vegas influenced💰 BS. Imo Murphy should be the significant favorite.. I don’t understand this line and it scares me. 😂 The forbidden fruit, I KNOW this sht is poisoned! 🍎
 
3rd most betting handle tonight.. that bag is HEAVY on murphy..😬 We’re going to see some weird sht!! If not in the fight it will show up at the judges table.
