Mekchu posted:Thing is, the cage always looked like a NASCAR covered mess (a bit less than now). They just wanted a bigger cut of the sponsorship money and to prevent fighters from doing advertising of a brand on a card they weren't tied into. Yup, it was always a bullshit excuse.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:Was that when stun gun slapped someone for talking poo poo or something? It was a great moment in kpop history when the fashion was for the boy band to be murdered in graphic fashion at the end of the video. Akiyama gutted one of them with a kitchen knife.

Hey, speaking of the UFC and bullshit excuses, remember when Derrick Lewis disappeared from his own main-event mid-card and the UFC made absolutely sure to note multiple times that it was a stomach problem and 100% not related to COVID, which is totally over and not a problem anymore? guess what quote:“It was a bummer,” says Lewis. “I wanted to fight. I felt like I trained as hard as I could, but I ended up getting COVID. No one knows this but my family and my coaches. I ended up catching COVID the week of the fight.”

Prime energy drink is the one that people over here in the UK have been going feral over, selling for upwards of £10 a bottle and as high as £100 for a crate. Barely flavoured coconut water, apparently. KSI and Paul are also conspicuously not actually ingesting the drink on any of the adverts.

ilmucche posted:Is it? I hadn't noticed anything about it. I...gently caress. I don't even want to admit that I know this, but the drink is Logan, the older one who seems to make the dumber decisions (you might recall the forest thing, that was him). Jake, the younger brother, signed to fight in PFL, though personally I maintain that he's never gonna get a real opponent.

Logan Paul is the elder one who filmed the dead body in the "suicide forest" in Japan and posted it as his thumbnail and made jokes about the guy being dead. (On top of other semi-racist poo poo he did there). He boxed Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout. Dana praised Logan and said maybe to when Logan posited he could compete in the UFC. Jake Paul is the younger one who KO'd Woodley & Askren and fought Anderson Silva recently and whose management company MVP Promotions signed a deal with PFL and is set to fight in their "Super Fight Division" etc. He is the one Dana hates.

Just now seeing the thread after a while and thanks for the Sexyama updates because every time I see his name now I just can’t help but chuckle and smile wistfully thinking about that ONE fight with Aoki. God that was so good

Barely flavoured coconut water, apparently. It’s all because that KSI fella is absolutely massive in the UK, no? (Also I had it once because it was 2 for $3 at a quickie mart here. Went straight back to BioSteel.)

Oh hey that stupid as gently caress idiot Dana White and his equally stupid as gently caress Power Slap league is promoting their poo poo on Rumble. https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1620589932271267840 That's right, the white power ~alternative~ to YouTube has the Dana White Power Slap League. Also lmao that UFC is having to poo poo out these sort of tweets rather than divorce itself of that stuff.

She left MMA stuff due to the pandemic and iirc is doing freelance voice acting/voice over work these days. Edit - oh, seems she also does photography for pro wrestling these days. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Feb 1, 2023 |

kimbo305 posted:I was very pro-Misaki over the ethics of the cheating, but the Japanese audience response seemed too grounded in the anti ethnic Korean aspect. Akiyama/Choo's history is rife with tons of drama. He was essentially benched from the Korean national judo team for being "not good (read: Korean) enough" due to his Japanese citizenship etc, despite actually good enough and then joined the Japanese team and beat the Korean in the bronze medal match at the Pan Asia games which basically made Koreans hate him for "betraying his country." (Ignoring he was told he wasn't good enough to represent Korea, plus he got bullied on the Japanese team for being ethnic Korean). Then there's the greasing allegation in Judo. Then the Sakuraba greasing. Then the controversy over whether or not he was a downed opponent when Misaki head kicked him and if that was allowed in the rules. In short: Akiyama/Choo is very much a guy who does things his own way and doesn't seem to care if it upsets a group or not. And I kinda respect that since he's stuck between two worlds.

 It is time to collectively admit we lost the battle against the absolute motherfucker that was January. Gather Sexyama under your arms and rush to the February thread, where we will hopefully be safe.
