Cool, thanks for proving my point.

I don't know what your point is. If it is that Nate is a bum who requires months of training, hundreds of thousands of dollars for special training partners and coaches then I'm going to continue to call you stupid for buying wolf tickets.

mizugaki is a massive underdog against no love and honestly he could be wiley enough to give no love some grief. i'll be betting on my homeboy mizugaki with money and encouraging him with irl applause that he won't be able to hear.

sick fight though.

Dom Cruz beat the dog poo poo outta Mizugaki after being clinically dead for 10 years, so Takeya smashing a man named Cody is the best possible outcome.

Also because it would maybe mean Lineker/Dodson winner gets the next title shot, which is Most Good.

Conor is a good and cool fighter, but if you can't find the humor in "my opponent is a heavy bag with eyes, I am much better than him...which is why I've spent 300 grand on this camp and flown in the best sparring partners in the world and have fought 9,000 rounds in preparation to fight this guy who sucks" then I just don't know

I was going to make fun of the "punching bag with eyes" comment since Conor only landed 37% of his strikes (per fight metric) on Nate in the 1st

But then I looked and he had the same or worse accuracy rates against:

- first round vs Chad
- vs Poirier
- vs Brandao
- 1st and 2nd vs Holloway

So maybe Conor's using that in the same way a "groundball with eyes" in baseball refers to a ball that can find the little gaps between the defense. Nate was a heavybag that could just slip away from Conor's punches

I can't get into the USADA issue because it's still pending but let's just say Malki's supplement shopping trip may pay off.

I remember getting pushback after making this argument. I suspect that his team found a supplement on the market that was tainted with what he tested positive for, and he was able to claim thats what happened. Its not like every single company changes the formula and batch number dozens of times a year, its not odd to think maybe they could find some unexpired supplement that was on the market for a while that was tainted with what he took.

Well if you spend ten minutes winging hooks at a heavy bag, you'll probably be more tired than the bag, so he's not that off with the comparison.

I'm hoping for a Diaz split decision win so McGregor will petition for a third fight to "really see who is the better fighter."

Just keep giving Nate hundreds of thousands of dollars to beat up the same guy over and over again.

The announcement promo they put up on twitter for 204 really sucks because it doesn't have the two pieces of footage it absolutey should: Bisping screaming 'gently caress you' from atop the cage in slow-mo at Rockhold and Henderson sending Bisping into the shadow realm.

If that bullshit loophole works, then USADA is the dumbest bunch of motherfuckers out there and the UFC's drug testing program will suddenly be more of a joke than it was during the TRT era. I'd guessing 1) Jones is delusional or 2) he's gonna snitch on his dealer/camp/coach.
