Somehow I got suckered into hanging out with Van Halen in their limo. All these women kept showing up, just wanting to gently caress or do drugs or party all night, never caring even slightly about the music, what it really meant.

Ugh, a local C grade musician said almost exactly this to me a few weeks ago when I asked why he was at my house on saturday night and not doing something cool.

I really hope Cat wins today, she's due for a run of good luck.

I don't know who that is but it was 4 years ago and the guy is apparently 11-1 with 9 subs so it's still a lot less embarrassing.

Of course out of Conor's 2 losses you pick the actual decent-good fighter, who's also beaten Norman Parke, instead of the generic Eastern European.

I genuinely don't believe he is actively seeking a KO or sub, he lands punches without committing to them. This allows him to get out of the way of counters very successfully, but dramatically reduces his chance of doing significant damage. It undoubtedly takes skill, dedication and massive amounts of training to pull it off, but I find it incredibly dull to watch.

Cheating happens that's grabbing the fence to stop a takedown or faking a groin strike to get some time off. This was cheating to avoid the outright end of the fight. Nobody seems to be viewing this as whining as such as it's an accurate depiction of what happened.

When you grab a fence you are breaking the rules and potentially stopping a takedown. Illegal poo poo is illegal dude.

It's straight up whining.

I loving hate Tim Kennedy with every fibre of my being, but that doesn't change this being right. It's not like a bad judges call where if Yoel won a robbery it would've been ok because haha suck it Tim a third party hosed you, which honestly I would be all for, this poo poo is beyond the pale.

You can be technically correct about something and still be whining about it. Both of which Tim Kennedy is doing.

this, and also there was only like 15 seconds of confusion, so I don't know what the ref should have done. he had the choice to either warn the unconscious man that if he didn't get up he would call the fight off, or to just drag him into the center of the cage to let Kennedy finish him off, which was obviously what was going to happen if he kept fighting. he made the choice that would make for a more satisfying fight and then welp.

He's a complete ra-ra-Murica type who was also a Marine sniper so pretty much meaning he coldly killed people from a long distance. He's also not a great fighter by any stretch, his fights are usually always terrible, and his fight against Luke Rockhold is one of the worst you'll ever see.

Whined up a storm about every decision he lost up to and including the Jacare fight where he got beaten from pillar to post. Is the beneficiary of dumb FOR THE TROOPS bullshit while being a stereotypical douchebag, including shilling for a company that makes racist tshirts and spending the entire day of Nelson Mandela's death calling everyone on his timeline making a positive statement about Mandela an rear end in a top hat because he was a "commie terrorist".

He's just a grating personality, like Bisping. I had a sort of secondhand acquaintance with him years ago but can't say much that you wouldn't obviously glean from an interview. He whines and whines about steroids and about how the Army didn't respect his MMA career and now about how the UFC doesn't respect him as a military hero.

Yeah that's sort of how I'm leaning on what Big John did. We all know that it was unfair for Romero to sit there after the 2nd round was supposed to begin, but there are delays all the loving time. Like every couple events a fighter forgets his mouth piece or the corner leaves ice on the canvas or whatever happens. Usually it isn't intentional (I don't think) but it certainly happens. If Romero's corner had been a bit smarter it would not have even been an issue. McCarthy could and probably should have called the fight right then and there, but refs usually just want to get the fight going again and that's what he tried to do. Audiences want to see fighting. And they saw Yoel do some violent poo poo not even a minute after it happened.

I dunno. It's lovely but it happens.
