that tiktok is amazing. it made me have this thought which made me laugh cause it's 100% plausible:

conor and dustin fight 3 more times, where conor loses by knockout, submission, and then another knockout, all in the 1st round. conor fights dustin again for their 7th bout after a 2 year layoff, and after 3 rounds of laying on his back eating elbows to the face and while Herb Dean spaces out thinking about if he got his clothes out the dryer, conor throws an illegal upkick while holding onto dustin's gloves and gets the KO win.

within minutes the MMA community is buzzing that Conor is back!!

He gets a title shot

"We came to take over!!"

"Humble in defeat", the 2-6 fighter boasts, "dustin's a great fighter but i was the greater man and i'm happy to put this one to rest forever"

he's on the cover of UFC 5 for xbox/ps5

Might be my own anti-Ortega biases, but Brian seems like a dink and Volko seems pretty good. The story about the car prank, if true, is ridiculous from Ortega.

That Conor impression is perfect and that clip of Dana is wild. He had such a differently sized head back then.

Dana and the UFC did that Miles guy so dirty. I'm assuming that Dr. was in the UFC's pocket because no normal state commission would have cleared him to fight.

soul baking.

In the original Final Fantasy, you get the rat's tail and take it to the dragon king to upgrade your class. You change from warrior -> knight, mage -> wizard, etc. The sprites for your characters change as well. The upgraded sprites have smaller heads. Dana went from little head to big head, hence he was deleveling.

Volk has come off as kind of lacking personality but basically a fine coach. He's maybe too normal to be super entertaining in this format

Ortega has come off like a douchebag

Yeah, I was rooting for team Ortega the first couple episodes (possibly just because I think Max won the Volk rematch) but he's come off as genuinely lovely beyond the made-for-TV drama moments. Both him and Dana attacking Miles' warrior spirit for not fighting on a torn MCL felt extremely 2005 to me

Does anyone know if the producers of TUF instruct the coaches to "ham it up more" to make more compelling shows? It seems like every season has a "good person coach" and a "bad person coach". I haven't watched in years, but it almost felt like watching WWE with a face and a heel.

"DO YOU WANT TO BE A loving ACTOR???"

i don't know for sure, but i remember chael having to pull wanderlei aside to explain to him that he was just acting like a heel to inject some drama into the situation and to not take it personally. so probably not unless wandy didn't get the memo.

the doors made out of sawdust and eyelashes seem suspicious though

There were seasons like Rampage/Rashad where both coaches come out looking like douchebags. I think the drama is just the magic of editing
