Ok I have an absolute rake of recommendations now. I just gave some of them my FightPass login and copy pasted the responses people gave into a list! I have also been getting them excited for a fight between a man who loves America too much and a white trash Greek god.

Along these lines, you shouldn't show people Edgar/Maynard III unless you're first going to show them Edgar/Maynard II and then the promo where everybody picks who they think won, and also you shouldn't show them Bisping/Hendo unless you're going to have them sit through half the TUF season of Bisping shittalking and becoming increasingly unlikeable before being turned into a metaphor for american foreign policy

Sounds like a plan! Though for Bisping Hendo I'll just tell them Bisping is aggressively English and history does the rest.

e: Though the politics is long since quietened "Anyone But England" still exists in all sports

It's a top 100 all time banter session from Bisping though. People are still angry about it and it's like 6 years or so ago now?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
My favorite is when a white fighter comments on Bisping being whiter than a bandaid, Bisping thinks a black fighter made the joke, then throws poo poo at the black fighter and complains about racism.

Maybe at this point they're playing the long con. That by flooding the market with intentional comical misprints, they're creating collectors items that will have significant value once they're out of print, or that people will just buy blindly so they can laugh at Jose McGregor, Dutch Jiu Jitsu Champion when they get it in the mail.

That has to be it. There's just no way a company this big can have such poor quality control.

I take it you have never worked for a big company before. I bet some manager was assigned to the project that has no idea what the UFC is and only sees it as an opportunity to move onto the next job promotion.

And I'm sure the best path to that promotion is to gently caress everything up relentlessly, including key things that only a UFC fan would know such as how to spell "flexibility."

I know a place in Calgary that serves this but I wasn't quick ready to drop 25 bucks on cold cuts. But I mean, poo poo, Mighty Mouse can splurge all he wants. I remember reading a UFC mag a few years back where he said that his favourite coffee joint in Seattle was Starbucks so him developing a taste for cool expensive stuff is only a good thing.

I think they just assumed that UFC fans can't read or spell...which is a fair assessment.

The design of the shirt sucks event outside of the typo.
It's amazing how consistently they gently caress it up.

Surprised he's got a black shirt considering he's not champ. Does that only apply to fight kit?

I'm not sure I'd seen the end of Vitor vs Weidman before but that streamable makes it look like the ref left it pretty late to stop it.

I'm sure Vitor's not going to get a lot of sympathy on that front but there was no getting out of that mount for him.

Vitor was actively trying to punch himself out of mount so no concern warranted

Which is fascinating, because the previous time Vitor was on his back against a wrestler he almost broke Jon Jones' arm. Shows that Rockhold respects Weidman's ground game.

Reebok just suits MMA with how janky it is and I love it.

An Asian fight promotion based in South Korea (Road FC) is jumping into the bidding for Benson Henderson. They stated publicly that they would pay him $200,000 per fight. He was making 48/48 (plus $15,000 from Reebok) with the UFC.

Historically, he is a "smart" fighter.

1. Juice until you're more artificial growth hormone than human because you can get away with it.
2. Win

Now he can't do 1 so easy, 2 isn't too easy either unless he's fighting someone who should have retired a long time ago.

Nothing much, watching the game, drinking a bud
It was anounced that Big John is handling Aldo vs McGregor and Herd Dean is doing Weidman vs Rockhold.

Derek Cleary, Sal D’Amato, and Junichiro Kamijo will score Aldo vs. McGregor
Adalaide Byrd, Chris Lee and Marcos Rosales will score Weidman vs. Rockhold.

Vitor is smart in that he knows he has a round and a half to win the fight before he turns to poo poo and gives up.
