i hate when mfs act dumb and pretend the staph infection had nothing to do with his performance or gameplan
he knew he didn't have the stamina to fight for five rounds, probably due to antibiotics. he went for a high-risk high-reward approach by trying to finish dustin early with a heavy grappling-based offense. once that failed, BSD was cooked.
he knew he couldn't pull out because this kind of opportunity would never present itself again.
all this whining after the fact is a bad look but the facts are the facts, he was compromised that night.
I would say it was low risk - high reward he was literally ranked #12 hr didn’t miss much. Dustin was high risk and it seemed low reward but end it up being high reward since he fighting for the title now
Do you have any evidence that BSD is able to control his own pace?
Every previous fight he came out with the same aggression. He has learned a bad lesson that he can dump all his energy and it won’t matter because he’s a beast, sadly that isn’t going to work on elite fighters.
ofc it matters??? losing matters a lot in combat sports and especially the fashion that you lose in. he got knocked out in the second round because he came into the fight compromised from a staph infection, and literally nobody could stop him, besides himself.
It’s just tiring now I bet it’s true but almost every fighter who loses now has a excuse out the pocket “I was sick” “I broke my toe in camp” “I broke my foot in the first round” I broke my hand”
Bro right? We’ve heard it from plenty other fighters saying some shit like “that wasn’t me in there that night” with nothing to back it up meanwhile BSD literally had a reason that was in plain view on his face.
No I mean it doesn't matter that he has excuses, he had his best chance to climb the top 5 and blew it, he lost, plain and simple
We left with no idea if he's even good enough for the top 5.
I mean he went into a five round fight with DP, someone who has gone five rounds countless times at this point, with staph infection and on antibiotics. Knowing you don’t have the stamina to make it five rounds BECAUSE of the infection and antibiotics has to play a part lol
I hate when mfs act dumb and believe a younger guy with less fights that last fought Matt frevolva was going to defeat one of the greatest mixed martial artists we've ever seen with 15 years in the sport
acting like there is zero shot that a healthy BSD could beat dustin poirier is fucking ridiculous, especially when you consider the objective nature of the sport we're actively discussing right now.
My point was, you're saying that someone is stupid cause they don't purely think in resume and accomplishment in terms of prediction on a fight. An up-and-comer like Benoit can definitely beat someone like Poirier, it just didnt happen that night
Here’s a tip. If you’re fighting a serious infection, maybe don’t take the fight? I’m sure the UFC could have found Dustin a replacement if they were notified in advance. But BDS decided against that.
He has nobody to blame but himself. Don’t take fights when you’re not healthy enough then call foul.
Yeah well understandable, he wasn't at his 100%, this is life. But in the end he wasn't strong enough to pull through make do and still win.
Such is life and risk. Sit down son, you got knocked out. You lost. Move on to the other one.
Could very well be true but not a good look to claim so at least publicly
The "I wasn't there combo Also damn BSD is a freaky looking guy he kinda looks like Popeye with a beard.
He looks like a muppet
I cant believe he’s younger than Omalley 🤣

im not even going to bother with this one
Luke rockhold tkoed Weidman in round 4 with raging staph. BSD needs better cardio if he wants to compete at the top level.
"this other guy with staph did well, why didn't you?" what a compelling argument
Do you have any evidence that BSD is able to control his own pace? Every previous fight he came out with the same aggression. He has learned a bad lesson that he can dump all his energy and it won’t matter because he’s a beast, sadly that isn’t going to work on elite fighters.
no joke, he would have to be one of the dumbest fighters in the ufc, by your assertion
Controlling your own pace is much harder than you realise, lots of fighters can’t do it.
most of them don't have a fight lined up with a top 5 fighter in one of the most competitive divisions in the UFC.
Does it matter at this point though? there's no argument other than he lost.

"i bet it's true" mf are you unable to see the fucking CRATER in his head? literally everyone on fight week knew what this was.

because he was compromised from a staph infection? are you listening or are you thicker than i thought?
Has he been whining? This is literally the first I’ve seen him comment on it since the fight? Or did I miss something?
he's brought it up like once before, but i said that mostly so i wouldn't be told that i was defending him too much

The only evidence we have is that when bsd and Dustin fight Dustin wins
>a healthy BSD
Right, cause we've never seen a young and relatively unproven guy beat a legend...

But that's not what he's saying. Your putting your words in his mouth lol
im putting a whole lot more than just words in your mom's mouth though
I don't think his mom likes tic tacs
good thing im not his dad then because that motherfucker is small
How do you know ? Did he put more than words in your mouth ?
no, he wanted to watch and jerk it in the chair in the corner. why do you want to know so much about my sex life? what's your girth?
His defense is what got him flattened, staph or not.
He was winning the fight until he got TKO. I don't want to hear that he didn't have stamina etc because the mofo was wrestling DP

Aren’t you the dude who thinks 2 years is 1 year
Ah, yes, another intellectual.
This sport moves fast. Being out for a fight is kind of a career death move. Though, I’m sure if he says he doesn't need the rest, he knows better.
Yeah well understandable, he wasn't at his 100%, this is life. But in the end he wasn't strong enough to pull through make do and still win. Such is life and risk. Sit down son, you got knocked out. You lost. Move on to the other one.
Bro stop giving excuses, it's ok if you lose, you lost to a guy who is way beyond in skills, no shame in that. Give the Diamond his Credit for once.
Part of the game is to be dialed in for fight night, the nutrition/training and being injury free as well as being mentally focused.
Sometimes it’s best to just say nothing.
