UFC 195 on Jan-2-2016

[Bernman]

Stipe Miocic vs Andrei Arlovski is a great match-up...!

And it was, I was hoping Arlovski would continue on his comeback, but at 39, it was just hope.

I like Stipe and hope he gets a chance to fight for the title!

He did make his comeback and then some. After losing 4 straight, including 1 to Rogers, and another to Big Foot, he just went on a 6 fight win streak that included Browne, Big Foot, Mir, Schaub, and Kyle. But then ran into a top contender. That's above the opponents he beat for the title back in the day. He beat Tim Sylvia, and actually lost 2 of 3 vs. him. Had a win over Werdum, but he's improved a lot. The top heavyweights are a lot better now than they were back in the day in the UFC. Best HW's of course were in Pride.

I might believe Porier about the arm triangle. When practicing technique for them, almost every time I'm the practice dummy, pretty much everyone I train with can't lock it correctly on me, even when I'm not putting any resistance. Just a body composition thing I think, my shoulders/neck/chest area just isn't as susceptible to it as much as average people, it's weird. I was actually trying to adjust the positioning for my partners to try and figure out why it was so much less effective.

Arm triangle or regular triangle?

Arm triangle. If he was talking about a regular triangle, I dunno... I'm not immune to those lol.
