Is anyone else real worried about Frankie this weekend? I might be crazy but I just have this bad feeling it's gonna end real violent for him, and I'm gonna get real sad.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
eh Frankie is like 35 years old I think. sooner or later he's gonna look real bad.

Yair's too big, too athletic and is going to kick him until his body breaks down or his brain shuts off.

I guess Weidman is taking the Arlovski route in his post-title career. The good news is he'll be back for a few cool slobberknockers after a couple of years in the B leagues.

e: looking at his record again I see his stretch of getting KO'd a bunch didn't occur immediately after losing the belt. I just misremembered it that way.

Why do you think it's so hosed up

Alright, I try to keep the actual details of my actual life slightly obscured but I have enough friends on here that know me IRL a bit that it keeps me from becoming a complete character. This is important.

I have a relevant hard to obtain degree and I'm a genocide historian in his thirties. I've seen a lot of hosed up things through video before youtube and I've witnessed untimely death first hand many times. This is all that's relevant here.

A genetic passport, in it's phrasing, is precisely what leads nations to great evils. Any label you can put on someone can be used to exclude and remove people. Genetic passport is the same thought as eugenics and phrenology. Good and bad science questions used to create labels to exclude and eliminate. We live in a society where people revel in letting strangers see the inside of their apartment. We carrying around GPS trackers in our phones and leave them on ALL THE TIME. This may sound paranoid, but things like the holocaust as the most famous example happen fifteen years before bullets are fired. It's dangerous labeling of a concept that really shouldn't exist.

Or we're all gay people and microcosms of society don't exist in sports, whatever.

I just felt that's the first question you've ever asked me that was worth a real answer. Back to laughter please.

Please explain this further, because I can't see a connection between genocide and tracking some athletes' test results over time.

But a) it's not a genetic passport, it's like if you had a hematocrit of 35-38 baseline and then all of a sudden you have a reading of 52 just before a big bike race, you're probably blood doping and b) competing in top-level sport and consenting to them keeping your samples for a long period of time is a far loving cry from a government collecting biological details to keep tabs on their population. You're really conflating two issues here that are completely unrelated.

Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_passport

ctrl-f "genetic" and tell me how many hits you get. There's a link to a page called "gene doping", which sounds like it might be somewhere in the ballpark of where you're talking about but if you read it you'll notice the fifth word is "hypothetical".

My problem is with the label and the concept. I'm sure it will work fine until someone thinks of a way for it not to. I'll talk about this all day with either of you but let's PM about it.

Edit : For the sake of the thread, it feels like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist or a solution tailored to someone specific. I don't have a problem with the practice, it's the potential of implementation.

I can't decide if yair's best win is Bruce leeroy or bj penn. anyway I could be wrong but I think that maybe yair is being touted a little higher than his actual accomplishments deserve but I'd be happy if I'm wrong because he's great to watch.

Krzysztof Jotko Vegeta is cool.
Yair can establish himself in the rankings win or lose vs Frankie, and Joanna is going to lose.
Demian Maia is cool too.

e; On the first embedded, Stipe picked up a rabbit trap and said it looked like a sex toy. He's the perfect guy to replace Tim Sylvia.

gently caress it's amazing how much killing an elderly, confused Hawaiian changed Yair's image and made people completely forget when him and Bruce Leeroy spent 25 minutes spinning around in locations vaguely related to the location of the other fighter.

Marching Powder posted:

bisping is the best and i really hope he wins but yoel has shown a worrying lack of getting insanely tired against weidman. in the jacare fight he was so gassed that he landed like one significant strike in the first minute of round 2 and then did nothing for the rest of the fight. in the weidman fight he was beating weidman in round 2 with wrestling and competitive in stand up and in round 3 still had enough gas to kill weidman with nearly no cheating...

In the Jacare fight, he also had to grapple with one of the most insanely strong and talented grapplers in the division, which I think would probably wear anyone out.

Well, yeah, but still, their striking percentages were in the 30s. It reminded me of when I was a kid doing sparring and we'd just do retarded jump kicks at each other for fun because, being 7 and from a middle class background, we hadn't developed much in the way of killer instinct. It was fun to watch.

The Penn fight is the first time Yair showed a willingness to chase openings rather than just wait for them to show up. He looked like a very different fighter, and I think a big part of that was Penn's immobility. Even when he wasn't an old man with no knees, Penn wasn't a mobile fighter, he depended on his head movement and TDD rather than footwork. As he's degraded, the little mobility he had vanished entirely.

Yeah. They both ebtered the UFC and immediately lost to good / great opponents and then went on to kick a wide variety of rear end in a wide variety of ways. They are the mid-carders to watch and one or both of them will have a big impact at featherweight imo
