Put his ass in there with Gane.

Would be a fun one.

Middle seemed ridiculous for how big he is anyway

Izzy sleeping him was epic

 

[Mecca]

Well, there you go, @Stakesarehigh

 

[Stakesarehigh]

No one has ever been middle light heavy and heavy champ right?

I'd have to imagine that's a no

Has anyone won a belt in 3 divisions?

My first thought to the question you asked was Cormier?

But his fat ass wasn’t a middle weight.

Most guys aren't able to cut down to 185 at 6 4 and jacked

I guess his chest isn't that big which is where he makes up weight idk lol

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Man they talking he wants to fight for the heavy title at ufc 301? Wut?

It's in Brazil though. Damn

 

[Shanemansj13]

WOW

I just did a quick search online about which people think is tougher and seems like the vast majority say basketball.

Which makes sense when you think about the subjectivity of the calls, the pace of play, conditioning needed for the officials, instantaneous response, number of officials on the court at a time and what they are looking for, etc.

I have done basketball. It is really hard. And when a basketball lifer and incredibly impressive person tells me that football (a sport he knows nothing about) is a lot easier to ref than basketball, I don’t need to look much further.

I could definitely see it being bball....what I am 100% certain of is both are much harder than baseball which was the main point.

 

[dtgold88]

Always.

I just haven’t talked to him in awhile.

Texted him just now. Will see what he says.

Would be cool to see them before the draft as seems we usually get his info from you after (maybe I am wrong?).

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Basketball is the hardest because the sport rarely stops. Football has a play and you mostly just follow the ball after the ball is snapped.

Baseball is clearly the easiest and it's not even close. The home ump should be automated.

 

[dtgold88]

Just got off the phone with him. Not a ton of detail because talked about life more than football. Had t talked to him in like 3 months.

Daniels was the guy he raved about.

None of the top guys had any real red flags to worry about. All look like they have chance to be pretty good.

But Daniels looks like the dude.

Interesting.....Have heard a few so-called experts (or at least analysts) say if were them they'd feel more confident risking a high pick on him over Caleb.

so pretty much no insight on anyone else, it seems, other than no red flags and to say he likes someone more than Caleb?

I can definitely see bball being tougher as just like football there are a lot of people to watch and they are often moving very fast. also like football you can probably call a foul nearly every time down court (like you could call a hold in football on every play).

How anyone could think baseball is the toughest is kooky talk.

I think Caleb has the tools

He's clearly weird to put it lightly

In an NFL lockerroom that can be a big deal.

Will he grow up? That's on him

i told y’all about this streaming service before and nobody was interested or believed me lol. I’ve had it for years now

Missed the other comments....which service?

Probably the closest we will ever get.


Cannonier is one of 16 fighters in UFC history to win fights in three weight classes. He's been victorious at middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight. Cannonier is one of two fighters in UFC history to earn knockout victories in three weight classes.

Well...he seems to want to make history so let's see how he does.

I was watching PPV on it last night. Basically a streaming service I have through a company where I download an app on my firestick and pay for service. All sports, ppv, movie channels, etc.

His college teammates loved him, don't think it will be an issue.
