If Tommy Fury gets dominated by KSI then that's pretty much the end of JP's run after the Diaz fight performance. JP's stocks can't take a bump like that after such an atrocious fight.

I don't think anyone watching Jake Paul fight is really in it to see high-quality boxing.

The worst and most ineffective version is 'theory crafting' is 'fight-theory crafting', lol.

What's the story on this internet karate kid? Who is it? Where can I go watch him crying into a camera and getting heckled on every Livestream following this event?

I just want to burn his name into my memory so I recognize it in the news story about his suicide.

Brutal Jason/Kurt fight on TUF, just trading and seeing who drops first from CTE.

all estimates, but they think nate made $15-20m for his entire mma career and his cut (50/50 on profits) from paul fight could be $20m.

Size/strength does matter, tho.



Big guys with enough grappling knowledge will wreck your day, no doubt. Without it, though, not so much. In no universe does an Instagram bodybuilder do anything to an elite MMA fighter of any size other than MAYBE make him break a sweat on the way to domination.

(Yes, I've see video of The Mountain rolling. THAT is where size and athleticism become scary to anyone. He's 50%+ bigger than Martin, though.)

Yeah I would get my ass kicked until I became a purple belt and then it switched. I was 6'3" 280 at the time. Once you learn momentum and technique then add your strength it becomes rough for smaller guys.

Obviously skill level has a huge impact and I'm not trying to say Bradley Martin would win this thing, I just think some people get a little too carried away with the whole "grappling makes you invincible" stuff.
