Choose this life you're on your own

It's a shame this man does not get the riches or recognition he has earned.

Also, in regards to White People using Black Slang, I'd like it on record that having a subreddit dedicated to Black People Twitter was a mistake.

wait, do you actually get another copy of the belt for every successful defense? imagine the grim future where ufc champions are hunted by professional assassins to harvest what precious little gold remains to make electronics with.

there's actual twitter accounts out there that are white right-wingers pretending to be black people that tweet menacing and racist things with like BLM hashtags and stuff and it's so painfully obvious they're not black. They even have a ridiculous playbook:

some racist gently caress posted:

Decide whether you want to be male or female. Female is easier, in terms of trolling, though it might be a hard character to play.

If you’re not feeling creative, you can just use a standard name like “Shay,” “Malita,” “Jay” or “Mike.” You can also just make up random stuff like “Jinky Slip,” “Flex Fist” or “Goldie T.” You can also use a funny black name like “D’Arnell” or “Shanika.”

i'll go ahead and say we're pretty far afield of UFC stuff at this point though so maybe PM me if you want to make fun of white people some more :)

I hope one day MM has enough belts that he will need to hire a private security guard to stay with his dozens of belts at all times.

I want MM to go everywhere draped in a comical number of belts like Shonie Carter used to (or still does maybe?) with his regional belts

Basically they have a record of a bunch of biological variables and they track changes over time for anything suspicious that would indicate PED use. Especially PEDs that are hard to test for through normal methods

Her sample was initially deemed to be negative but they noticed an irregularity on the biological passport that indicated to them that they should test the sample further, and then they detected a banned substance.

The arms race of drug cheating and drug testing is fascinating, there was a long SI article on it when Lance Armstrong unraveled. Not sure if USADA does it, but i know pro cycling will store blood & urine samples for a few years for re-testing, in case future testing methods are able to detect cutting edge drugs that are undetectable now.
