I'll wait for Rogan to confirm he is leaving. When he was saying he was out if the UFC is sold, I think he may have assumed that a sale was going to mean no more Dana White. I remember him explaining that the only reason he was still with the UFC given his crazy schedule, is because his bosses (meaning Dana) were very cool and easy to work with. Maybe he quits anyway to focus on comedy and his podcast, but I could see him asking Dana how long he's under contract, and if its more than a year, signing consecutive 1 year deals. or something like that.

Did they buy out the UAE owners as well? I think that might actually be good for the company.

I've seen Joe a few times at the comedy store and he could use some extra time for material, he's been using the same Caitlyn Jenner bit for at least a year

I'm on a huge gastelum high right now. He's just skyrocketed since the end of his TUF season and is tough as nails.

EmmyOk posted:Rogan can be much more candid on Fight Companions because he's not being paid by the UFC for them, it's why he likes them so much. Also Joey Diaz was great and much funnier and more informative than Callen and Schaub combined. His reaction to Eddie winning the belt was amazing. *Five Minutes of Loud Scream* *turns back to a calm tone on a dime* "I almost had an aneurism there"

Has hendricks ever talked about moving to 185? I know he only missed by a 1/4 lb but man this is the third time he's missed? He's only 5cm shorter than DC who fought in HW so I don't think he's too short or whatever.

I think Hendricks isnt mentally in it anymore, he seems to take losses pretty hard and getting (arguably) robbed against GSP and Lawler the second time has just made him look like crap lately and unmotivated. You could also say its USADA which might be true but he just seems like he doesnt care about improving and guys have figured out his tools

Unfunny Poster posted:His reaction to Eddie winning the belt was amazing. That's what I was about to post "HE'S A FUCKIN PIZZA GUY MUTHAFUCKAS" The companions can be entertaining but when the regular crew is there they hardly talk about the fights. Callen will get called out on some dumb poo poo he says that he half believes, someone will try to provoke a pot saturated Eddie into talking about chemtrails and poo poo, Rogan weed weed medicine weed, Schaub will make a joke that he cribbed from some movie and everyone will laugh, then OH OH OH he's in trouble, he's a savage. Repeat. They really are the most well informed, well traveled, rich group of idiots in the game, I think. I say this as someone who listens to most of the fight companions and the occasional JRE. I confess I also used to listen to Fighter and The Kid.

Johny is just done as an elite, it seems. Much too big for LW, a little too big for WW without changing his lifestyle which he's obviously unwilling to do, way too small for MW. DC might be short in height for a LHW and former Heavy, but his body is gigantic. He's like a ball of muscle and/or fat if you want to be mean. He's a way bigger human being than Hendricks.

Also his gay brazilian co-commentator bit he did with Joe on one Fight Companion was pretty amazing. I forget which one it was, but he and Joe did a fun bit with it for a round of some fight.

Marching Powder posted:i find it so strange that the guy who could outbox robbie in exchanges is worse than kelvin and got humiliated by wonderboy*. usada is a convenient explanation, but it's not the whole story. He's a tubby bitch and a combination of aging, a fighting career taking a toll on his body, and loss in motivation due to losses has made him totally uncommitted to dieting/staying at a healthy weight. I don't think it's all that complicated, prior to the ban he always had trouble making the weight even though I don't think he outright missed it until the Woodley fight that never happened. Also I only caught UFC 200 and fell asleep during the Brock fight only to wake up to Nunes being a champion, and I really don't care enough to go back to watch it. Joanna/Claudia sounds epic though, is it worth the watch?

It's easily the best fight of that division, really has a lot of momentum shift and has JJ coming back from adversity. Also features Claudia being a tremendous bitch after the fight when JJ tried to make peace which was great.

Remember when Dana managed Chuck, and then the Fertittas bought the company and put him in charge and he immediately stopped managing Chuck because it'd be a conflict of interest? How does literally every promoter in MMA continuously fail to clear the incredibly low bar of "is as ethical as Dana White and the Fertitta brothers"?

Friends have their own patterns, jokes, etc. I guess I just get tired of having to hear their same routine every single time, and a lot of TFATK is dedicated to Schaub/Callen sucking each other off. Sometimes they do point out there's a part of Callen that actually believes some of the dumb poo poo he says, i.e. the multiple instances of him trying to wrestle Schaub. I stopped listening to their podcast awhile back but I am curious how their show turned out.

Chael is on Joe Rogan's podcast right now and is talking about his first meeting with the Piss Collector. it sounds horrifying. tl;dr: version is the guy shows up with no identification, leads Chael to a dirty janitor's closet, and asks Chael to show him his penis.

No identification? Wow, that does sound scary. Also really easy to do, make a fighter show you his wiener in a closet, for anyone. Did Chael say of this guy ever showed ID or credentials after? Did he wear a special uniform, and if so what color? Just asking for a friend, this sounds interesting.
