Who are the others?

Conor
Penn
Rumble?

I’m guessing some old school guys like shamrocks or Tito?

I would think Florian. Although not sure if he was fighting 170 after TUF or if the TUF fights counts towards this.

TUF fights are exhibitions (and wouldn't count), accept the finale card, which he lost on. That was at 185. He has wins at 170, 155, and 145 though. That TUF finale counts as a 185 win for Diego though, so he has wins at 185, 170, and 155.

Rumble only if you count his HW in WSOF, he has wins at 170 and 205, but never made weight at 185.

Couple others -

Jared Cannonier - 265, 205, 185
Vitor Belfort - 185, 205, and the HW tourney at UFC 12
Dan Henderson - 205, 185 and then only if you count his Strikeforce win over Fedor at HW, or his pride WW run (shouldn't since pride WW was 183).

So I was right about Florian.

Cannonier has wins at UFC HW? EDIT: Looks like yes vs someone named Cyril Asker?

He has a wikipedia page and everything. Went 2-3 in the UFC.

What a boring **** fight/main event. Smith sucks.

cowboyronnie · Post #1371 » by **cowboyronnie** » Sun Aug 30, 2020 7:32 pm

Thinking maybe Smith should work on getting to his feet after TDs. He's been SMUSHED by Jones, Glover, and now this guy.

Ya he really just seems to accept horrible positions. If you're just going to accept being on your back and not look to get back up, at least be aggressive with strikes and submission attempts. Smith just seems to get in a bad position and it looks like he just goes, "welp Im here for the rest of the round, lets try and not take too much damage".

There just seems to be zero urgencies from him when taken down.

JJ and Rajkic played with his form like it was play-dough, he was so passive. Actually rolling him into a ball in order to beat on him.

I am unsure what can be so good about Henry Hooft. Did you listen to his corner advice to Lawler? "Why are you not going what we planned? Why are you not answering him?", etc. Browbeating him with rhetorical questions. So weird.

That said, Robbie came out with a fair bit of fire in the 3rd.

Also, Ricardo Lamas, what an animal this guy is. For a decade, he's never not given his all in every fight. Never stops trying to win. He's amazing and very undersung.

To this day, that Emmett fight 2-3 years later gives me the creeps. Emmett talking about how he gambled that Lamas would take the fight on short notice because he probably needed the money since he had a baby due within a few weeks, despite Emmett missing the weight by 4-5 lbs and then proceeding to destroy Lamas by KO. I'll root FOR Lamas and against Emmett for the rest of my days due to that one single fight.

Every time I've seen Lawler fight for the last 3-4 years I've heard the commentators comment how his opponent is having the fight of their lives. At this point maybe it's just Robbie? As much as that sucks to admit.

At first i thought Smith was an example of regression to the mean in the sense that he was what we thought he was back when he was a middling MW. But in reality if you look at his resume, he pretty much just lost to who he was supposed to and beat who he was supposed to. He earned the title fight on some wins of questionable quality.

Not hating, because ofthe circumstaces, but this Overeem card is the worst of all time. I recognize 1 fighter in total (Reem).

Michel Pereira is one of the more entertaining losers in the UFC. Took like 5 minutes for his walkout, doing a bunch of dancing and flips. He was the biggest favorite on the card against some local plumber or something like on short notice. He was doing flips during the fight then ended up gassing out and losing haha. Then just teed up Diego Sanchez for 2.5 rounds then got DQ'd with an illegal knee.

So looking forward to seeing how he loses this one.
