I hate that it is for a fake belt, but I don't know how you can possibly feel "meh" about Ferguson vs Khabib as a fight. I will forgive you for feeling "meh" about Lando Vannata because I think you were declared legally dead around the time of his UFC debut, where he came in under everyone's radar on short notice and kicked the poo poo out of Ferguson for two rounds before gassing. Rashad Evans on a PPV main card is not really something I can comprehend in 2017, so I don't blame you for any ambivalence there, but there is a very live chance that we will get ragdolled and TKO'D by a friendly, elderly, short Australian judoka and that sounds pretty ok to me.

I never post but I'm basically in a berserker rage at the thought of someone wondering whether a card with Mark Hunt and Wonderboy is worth buying. If that doesn't sell you on the card, consider these cool nicknames:

Yeah my wife and I almost never buy ppv cards because it means getting a babysitter for the kids so we can watch live during the day (:australia:). Last year we got 200 and 205. We're getting this one for sure because the overall quality potential of the fights is through the roof.

I would have to give it to the roo, however Jake Shields has more powerful hind legs and can kick backwards with up to 2000 psi.

Clearly, evidence shows that a kangaroo has greater grappling.

Joe Rogan: " Jake Shields fight was interesting to me. Jake ran out of gas , but still won on a split decision. From a technical standpoint Kangaroo "Roo" had superior grappling and dominated Shields on the ground. This is why you should never let it go to the judges. Here is a kettlebell exercise, I'm going to to cryofreeze myself for 3 minutes."

The first part of the video Hardy is trying to explain the punch and where it's coming from, but that's just a sambo thing. While it's not exactly the same as fedor's winging hooks, it has the same purpose. It serves a double purpose that if the punch doesn't land exactly right you'll end up with your arm around your opponent and grab a clench. Here's a video that kindof breaks it down. While Khabib's is slightly different than Fedor's style, it's the same style.

Oh gently caress, my brain thought Khabib and El Cucuey (spelling?) was the next card.

I think it's the Rashad stank that's putting Pop's off the card. (I mentioned it before, but I take care of my Dad) I'd watch anybody fight all day everyday if I could. But I'm trying to see if it's worth the effort of getting my Dad excited. Sixty bucks too.

Time to fire up Fightpass.

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