There is value in learning to not panic tap to things and developing enough to grit to spit blood every now and then.

But. Sweet. Jesus. How. Do. You. gently caress. That. Up!?

My contentious MMA fashion opinion is that Aldo dresses better than Conor. McGregor has lovely tailored suits but Aldo has many different types of lovely outfits.

Conor walks like a tiny bantam rooster so he pulls off the suits better.

Magana is an idiot. And who the gently caress is the other person to crank down on a twister in training camp?

To be fair, some submissions you cant tell if you are applying it correctly, so maybe he thought "what idiot doesn't tap maybe I need to pull harder"

Yeah I've had that before, had a guy in a Kimura and he kept trying to get out even though it was in pretty well, so I applied pressure, then he yelped and started tapping really hard. Coach got into him for being an idiot not me for continuing to apply it.

I've gone out trying to fight out of a guillotine though but in my defense I was rolling with my instructor (black belt) who I am pretty sure wasn't going to kill me and I wanted to test how far I could go in a choke fighting the hands before I fell asleep in his crotch. spoiler: not long. But for anything joint or tendon or bone or anything else related -you're a retard if you don't tap when they've got you you don't "lose" in training the whole BJJ mantra has always been you win or you learn.


Also on Mark Hunt, he's been in Thailand for a lot longer than normal. I'm almost sure for the Stipe fight he didn't do anything except hit pads for a couple hours a week 2 or 3 weeks before the fight and for the fight in Mexico he had a really short run up to the title shot.

In the past I wouldn't be surprised if his trips to Thailand have been less "training camp" and more "hit pads in between naps", he looks a lot leaner than he has in years and from videos he's posted he looks a lot, lot faster and lighter on his feet. I can only really remember one other time he's looked like this in the UFC in the lead up to a fight and that was when he tore his knee and had to sit out and promptly got huge again.

This is true. Additionally; I'm an injury-prone, 8 year white belt. I know enough poo poo to catch people in really obvious submissions, but I lack the regular training necessary to know when I have someone dead to rights so I rely on them tapping.
The problems begin when you get some guy who doesn't want to tap to the unfit white belt, and he gets a shoulder tweaked. BJJ definitely suppresses ego, but it still exists.

That'd be nice. She has nothing for Ronda, but has just enough for the rest of the division. It makes her seem a lot more relevant than she is. Plus she constantly has this look on her face that suggests she discreetly farted, and you are just smelling it.

I can't say I know what Miesha should have done but I see no upside to having her continue to buy into fake hype everytime she beats someone in the UFC and gives the brass an excuse to say Ronda's name despite how unlikely it is for her to be fighting Ronda right now.

She could win fights in an impressive fashion and make people want to see her fight Rousey again. Winning a series of close and boring decisions against people, including Rin Nakai, doesn't do anything for you.

At my previous company we had some custom software that needed calibration files to run.

Each file could store several calibrations that were tagged with a "name" that was just a text string containing a date and the calibration range, and then a timestamp stored in a binary time format.

The calibration would be performed on a computer running Canadian regional settings and then the calibration file would be sent to an American computer to actually run the software.

This actually led to a situation where I was able to produce a screenshot that showed 8/6/2013 and 6/8/2013 on the same software dialog, which our programmer explained was totally normal.

They need her around to lose to legitimate prospects and people who know what striking is. She'll have a home for a little while yet.
