Boring

Yeah, only Trumpanzees, like yourself, know "logic".

I'm not the only one. Is Bellator even the D3 of MMA? Maybe NAIA? JUCO?

I think Bo has a better UFC record than Askren did. Askren got beaten to a pulp in 2 of his 3 UFC fights. Bellator is the MMA equivalent of D3.

I thought Sammy would be, at least, a two time All American. In fact I thought he'd probably be a 3 timer after his very good FR campaign. What happened to him? Did he have injury issues that held him back or something?

I still remember my first FS wrestling practice. The coach showed the Gator Roll and I remember asking him "So I don't have to release the hold, I can just keep rolling him over and over again?". "Yup" said the coach. It was exactly at that point that I realized FS scoring was a bit of a joke. They still haven't cleaned up the perpetual moves, but now it's always the leglace. Well, at least they don't have that ridiculous ball-grab nonsense anymore. I'll take whatever improvement I can get.

My bad, World Cup.

Yeah. I don't see how he has any eligibility left. Hopefully he doesn't try to transfer to Little Rock, they have a pretty shoddy rep now about checking their kid's eligibility.

Jon Jones would pull Bo apart like a wishbone.

How is Sammy in the portal? He was a Sr last year.

It might work pretty well, as long as they push their opponent under the water.

People seem to really dislike him. He hasn't got much charisma and he's a really ugly dude. That wouldn't lend itself to a career as a commentator. On the other hand, lots of people hated Howard Cosell and look how successful he was.

Chance won the US Open and went to the Olympics. True, he didn't win any medals.

I don't know if that'll work. Do they lock up and push in swimming?

That's actually pretty funny. I can't imagine any of the teams better than OU wanting those guys.

It would be a bit rash to retire after one loss wouldn't it? It wasn't as if he was knocked out in 5 seconds like Askren. I think we'll see Bo continue MMA for awhile.

I LOVED that Askren/Masvidal result Askren running his loud, disrespectful mouth. He got shut up REAL fast once the fight was on.

I don't know why guys do that. I lost 20 pounds in less than a week one time and I was as weak as a baby on the mat for a couple weeks after. Seems like maintaining your weight around the competition weight would be best, to me.

KOT should stay at Mizzou. He should be their next coach (as soon as he get a little more seasoning). He's got great name recognition among the HS kids nationally, plus I bet he's a superhero to the kids who are fans of Mizzou.

Yeah. I consider anybody under 150 pounds to be a munchkin though.

I don't think there is a perfect shape for wrestlers. The only requirement is they have strength, flexibility, and endurance. We've seen the short legged, barrel chested guys like Chance Marstellar and Luke Pletcher, and the tall, long-legged beanpoles like Mark Branch and Evan Wick. If a guy has a particular body shape he can adjust his style to his strengths!

The best part was we didn't have to worry about them drowning because turds float

Bo has never looked jacked. He's still obviously very strong for his size or he'd have never did what he did in college wrestling though. I saw him one arm throw a guy in a college match one time, which astounded me. Sometimes the really strong dudes don't show it in muscle size. Chris Barnes is another one who doesn't show his strength either, some of you guys might remember him.

I can see somebody bringing up "former wrestler" or "former COLLEGE WRESTLER". First, a guy could've wrestled in elementary school then quit the sport and started playing bball in 6th grade, maybe. I knew a bunch of guys who did that, but could you really even call them "former wrestlers" in an MMA respect if they haven't wrestled since 5th grade? Probably not. More likely the distinction is that of FS, Folk, or Greco. A "college wrestler" narrows it to only folk, and folk is considered better than Greco or FS in MMA because folk has a lot more of the "control" element than Greco or FS.

Google says Phelps is 6'4" tall and 198 pounds. Wick was 6'3" and 165 pounds in college, hehe, a real beanpole.

Lots of pro boxers have lost because of devastating liver shots over the years, for that matter.
