I'm probably going to go to Cage Fury Fighting Championship 36. I only recognize Lyman "Tiger Schulmann Karate" Good on the card and he's fighting a dude that's 0-0-0 so it should be B-league as heck.

I haven't been to Mennen arena since I was like 9 for an ice-skating birthday party. I remember the seating being kind of tight, I wonder if I should splurge on 'Silver' tickets at $75 or if the Gen Pop tickets at $55 would be sufficient.

VVV I stand corrected. The ticket website has Secor at 0-0-0, as well as most of the card.

Can't really get more b-league than an axs.tv promotion versus a promotion that got kicked off of axs.tv

Twitter is confusing and stupid but it did get Ben Henderson to wish my dad a Merry X-mas, got Ken Shamrock pissed at me for making fun of Jon Jones and made Mark Hunt and Hendo laugh at some of my jokes so it's gotta be worth something.

My MMA twitter success/failure story is I woke up and saw Shane Carwin proposing various Stikeforce/UFC matchups and I tweeted something like "lol that'll never happen" and he replied "now that Dana owns both, why not?" and that's how I learned Strikeforce got bought out.

Oh and Chael gave me first time home buyer advice.

I grew up in Alberta and I wish MFC would go away so we could have MMA cards run by someone who's not a jackass. Apparently we've got a WSOF Canadian affiliate card this weekend so I guess that's a start.

I misread that first as "Jens Pulver loses a 9 year old" as in like his son died or something because my mind has just learned to associate Pulver with failure, tragedy and sad things.

That was pretty touching because there are some serious real world risks involved with a organization or fighter putting on obvious works, but they did it anyway because you know, it would make a sick child happy.

It can work back around again to get to Hamill so he's better than Jones too.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

"I respect the girls who defend the country’s honor at the Olympics, in wrestling, boxing… But I do not support female MMA. A woman must be a domestic goddess, raise her children and be feminine. There a lot of different sports which help her in that. But MMA is not one of them"

Sherdog is very pleased.

quote:

There is some truth in this, but gender/sex roles were the same for thousands and thousands of years for the most part, and similar throughout most cultures and ethnicities, with some differences, of course... It's (gender and sex roles which lead to the notion of 'family' in civilized societies) not something to flakily dismiss over 20 years so some kids confused by the very new screwed up system can express weirdness to get attention. It's a joke. I'm glad the Russians are smart enough to know it.

The family system took us from the jungle to freakin MOON over 50,000 years. The stronger the family system, the more fathers were involved in the homes of their children, the better the street and the better the society in terms of useful production. Be VERY careful throwing away the traditional idea of family, it got us into space in the first place. Women having complete free reign and breeding with whoever they find cute that particular morning has always led to more primitive less civilized societies.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming Sherdog is a source of great journalism, but if you're going to call them out for clickbait, pick an actual article. Otherwise, your statement is nonsensical.
