CommonShore posted:You know what? They're probably going to run a season of TUF in his weight class soon, and they'll throw in the house couple guys who have 1 to 3 fights . They'll likely have Punk fight the one of them who performs the best and/or represents a favourable style matchup. A TUF tournament where the winner gets the privilege of fighting CM Punk would simultaneously be completely meaningless and also way better than the actual traditional TUF contract due to the fact that a CM Punk fight will do stupid numbers the first time.

I wasn't suggesting that he'd fight the winner. I mean they'll do a middleweight tournament and have CM Punk fight a mediocre-at-fighting but charismatic also-ran, and then only announce that toward the end of the series when the finale is getting booked. gently caress, anyone who could win a tuf tournament, even a TUF 19, would straight-up murder Punk. Again, I'm talking someone who is 1-0, wins the fight into the house, and then gets RNCed by a 9-3 prospect in 90 seconds into his next fight.

It's weird that my brain read 'concerned about a concussion' as 'never seeing this guy again'. The loss of TJ grant may have affected me.

Tom said that he stood to make $28k for the fight and $28k for a win and when you average a performance bonus every other fight into that the numbers don't add up for him to do the fight in this condition.

I'm gonna guess Reebok based on their prior record of phoning in the shirt designs.

The whole island is Ireland that map is the republic, even if it said ROI instead though it's still bizarrely political and confrontational. Though not as bad as the time Nike marketed "Black and Tan" runners for St. Patrick’s day.

Even aside from the lovely political implications, is a map of ireland with "IRELAND UFC" the laziest imaginable t-shirt design? I could come up with something better than that poo poo and I'm the least fashionable person on earth.

Now every fight kit has disappeared from the Reebok store except for like 6 people and Ronda Rousey, who is the Women's Champion of UFC according to the store.
