🧵 Could Silva become a triple champion?

What if he had tried to become not only middleweight but also heavyweight and light heavyweight champion before Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones got their belts?

Is it possible to just never get good at a sport?
I always wanted to drift. I used to rip the e brake in snow and dirt but I just suck at it. I bought a simulator setup and been using it for years and I never get better.
I can barely drift around one wet corner. I just don’t think I can get good at it i never know where the cars gonna go until I hit the throttle and I’m already sliding out of control.

🧵 What do you think of Cejudo?
Anonymous at Thu, 15 Feb 2024 15:08:37 UTC No. 187072
A few monts ago there was an O'Malley vs Sterling fight. After that, O'Malley said he has just beaten the bantamweight GOAT and as far as I remember Rogan thinks the same.
But I, as a Cejudo fan, don't believe them. In fact, Cejudo lost to Sterling but first it was split decision, second Cejudo haven't fought for 2 years cause he was "retired". Moreover, he won one of his fights against Demetrious and knocked out Dominic Cruz who also beat Demetrious.
So what do you think about this? Who's the bantamweight GOAT?

🧵 /gtg/ Grappling Technique General
Anonymous at Wed, 14 Feb 2024 16:11:49 UTC No. 186929
This will be a thread for people of all grappling disciplines (judo, wrestling, BJJ, etc.) to come and discuss or ask about technique. Here, we can avoid the retarded debates and help each other out with youtube links, instructional suggestions, troubleshooting ideas, etc.
Any serious grappler likely has questions from outside their main discipline. A judo guy starting BJJ might have some questions, or a BJJ guy trying to get better at wrestling.
This is NOT a self defense circlejerk thread, or a A vs. B circlejerk thread. Start with something like
>discipline
>years of experience
>technique question or problem
I train at one of the most popular gyms in the world right now and I'm an instructional addict. I'll do my best to point people to the right resources.
🧵 Belt System Alternative
Anonymous at Wed, 14 Feb 2024 09:03:27 UTC No. 186914
Belt systems were cool at first but they are easily corrupted and nowadays they have become a joke in most styles that actually use them.
How would you fix and/or replace the belt system?

Why are championship belts in boxing so shit? They all look horrible. Every other combat sport has belts that look 100x better. Even indie wrestling promotions have way better-looking belts. Why won't they change them?

🧵 Usyk vs Fury - Undisputed Heavyweight champion
Anonymous at Mon, 12 Feb 2024 15:40:47 UTC No. 186669
Alright /xs/bros, who do you guys think wins this? It's been delayed a few times but it should HOPEFULLY be happening in May. I hope it at least happens this year.
When this fight was first announced I favored Fury but as time as gone on I find myself leaning towards Usyk. However I don't think Usyk will be able to stop Fury; he will win by decision if he does win.
The winner will not only be undisputed but undefeated as well. First undisputed HW champ since Lennox Lewis.
So who you got?

Anonymous at Sun, 11 Feb 2024 16:29:00 UTC No. 186520
I’m curious about starting Muay Thai as a hobbyist, but I have a couple questions first:
1. Is Muay Thai worth learning if you’re about 5’9”, 160 pounds? I’m a skinnyfat dyel and am fully aware I need to bulk up a bit.
2. Will I feel more confident defending myself as a hobbyist? I’m not interested in competing since I’m 30 and need my brain for work, but I’d like to feel like I could handle myself (or at least put up a fight) in case I got jumped or something.
🧵 We need to make Skateboarding this again
Anonymous at Sun, 11 Feb 2024 07:51:13 UTC No. 186489
Modern skateboarding fucking sucks. Everyone skates like a robot: same tricks, same style (both clothing and trick execution), everyone at the skateparks are way too serious and tryhard. Nobody carves or has any real style, just the same in-line tight truck 5 approved tricks tried endlessly in a row.
How do we make skateboarding like 1988-1992 again? Bright day glo colors, giant ass fish boards with rails, tricks that are whatever the fuck you felt like doing that day and who fucking cares if you drag a hand or a toe as long as you surf out of it. People used to all have a sense of humor and goof around and improvise halfway through a trick, not stand around like soulless autistic robots and give up if the autism flip didn't land perfect in the sperg grind. And for the love of fuck, they listened to ROCK and METAL, not this horseshit faggot ass trap music rap bullshit.
Skateboarding used to be rad as fuck and whatever gay shit it is today isn't worth being around. I don't see any tricks around today that weren't being done back then, it just had more pizzaz then.
Like, watch this part and tell me you aren't 1000x more amped to skate than some bullshit dropped today: https://youtu.be/3c7XV-FC59k?si=RAA
Fuck modern skateboarding, make skateboarding rad again.
