i only did a little bit of cardiology for a couple of years, enough to learn that the guy doing my last ecg didn't know what he was doing, how it worked, or how to read it. lvh can regress with long term blood pressure medications, but the people they study are usually old people with blood pressure problems, i don't know if the same treatment or mechanisms are even applicable if it's caused by steroids

God drat I hope he is ok.

I was tutoring an undergrad student and she wrote a paper on this book where some doofus guy goes around and tries to learn philosophy by trying every martial art, and Jeff Monson is apparently prominently featured in it so the paper tried be serious about "the Aesthetics of Jeff Monson" and stuff like that. It was sick

Lol i think it had something to do with working class ideology about the male body idealized for its ability to perform physical labor, which is a cool thing to say about a 5'8 260 lb guy who can only get out of bed to north south choke people

the reason it's no longer customary to include your photo in a cv is because none of the recruiters could figure out if roxy's surname was modaferri or Msc. Computer Science

i know youre not trying be be super accurate, but i met him last year and im 5'10 tops and the top of his head was like below my chin, also he looked terrible and was with a fat toothless woman, and when I said Mr Monson im pretty sure he thought I was going to serve him

I remember reading an ESPN Magazine article about Jeff Monson, the Anarchist Grappler like ten or twelve years ago and thinking he was pretty cool. I didn't know he was still around or that he is now 59-25 in MMA and 2-0-1 as a boxer, in addition to his various successes as a grappler.

Well if you want to be depressed read about Monson now. He is a subject of a new book and MMAjunkie did a interview with the writer

http://mmajunkie.com/2015/11/new-book-beast-details-daniel-straus-title-struggles-jeff-monsons-detached-retina

quote:

Monson’s struggles to continue his career well into his 40s provide memorable scenes.

Merlino reveals Monson suffered a detached retina, effectively costing him vision in one eye and impacting his depth perception.

“Monson still thought there was a big win out there ahead of him,” Merlino wrote. “The next Abu Dhabi grappling championship tournament was in 2015: If he could win it a third time, that might be it. Or maybe, he thought, he could get back in the UFC. To do that, he realized, he needed to string some wins together.

“But if he couldn’t do that, then what? There was no retirement in this job. He wasn’t going to be like some of the guys now, leaving with money; he’d gotten into it too early. He’d made thirteen thousand dollars when he fought for the UFC title in 2006. Now, he was blind in one eye and could barely sit down.

“Seventeen years, almost seventy fights. He tallied it up. All the bouts, all the grappling, the seminars, the trips here and there, the interviews, the posing for pictures, the injuries: All he had was a small piece of property in Nicaragua and a 2003 Acura sedan.”

i have watched more than one teammate get beat up by travis in person. its impressive that he managed to build a career out of mostly beating up guys who trained as a hobby in college.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
