It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



The only reason MVP giving Mr. Cyborg a severe permanent brain injury is in my "hard to watch" list and not my "cannot watch" list is because he did the funny dance and threw a pokeball. A little levity can go a long way in trying times

Did it involve the mascot? Because evidently that’s the only way the media will pick up the story.

Conor is just old school. he decided to do a one-night early UFC/Pride style thing except for assault. physically assaulting a mascot, sexually assaulting a woman, surely he vehicularly assaulted some Japanese pro wrestling can in the finals

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It was a joke, friend. His many insane transgressions in the past have made a momentary blip at best. Hopefully this will get more traction. Would be great if he could gently caress off forever.

Oh I agree but this crosses to beyond the pale and his other transgressions were all in situations outside the public bathrooms of a mass attended event.

conor is like alex delarge from "a clockwork orange" except no one is trying to fix his monstrous behavior. they just say "please don't do that again," then make three lines of coke for him to do before going on another assault spree

How many Conor defenders are in your stomach???

This being Florida the big issue is obviously going to be which gender bathroom they were in because Conor somehow never actually gets in trouble

I don’t know but I swear there was a time that Valentina did her little celebration dance while covered in the blood of her opponent and it was just the most insanely creepy thing I’ve seen in MMA. I’ve never been able to find a video clip of it, though.

Also, this is really bad and not good for Conor. I’m not sure that even he will squirm out of this one.

Normally you don't have the #2 guy fighting a guy who is 2-2 in his last 4, with -2 being extremely lopsided losses against top guys, and who has only 1 win over a currently ranked fighter in the division, especially when that guy has been making noise about retirement. It's going to be a one-sided beatng

I mean, I dunno what you're supposed to really do with TKZ then outside of just cutting him, because literally everyone else in the top 15 outside of Ige and Caceres probably fucks him up pretty bad. You could give him an unranked guy but he likely doesn't want to spend his last fights with unranked prospects trying to make a name off of him.

Dom Cruz would be a good fight, weight class be damned. There must be some other post-peak late career featherweight or smaller lightweight who we don't want to be sad about.

Hmmm, Bryce Mitchell would probably be a fun fight, particularly for grappling reasons, but I guess he's injured. Barboza makes some sense, also pretty late in his career. If we're looking at guys ranked above TKZ I think Arnold Allen is the only fight that makes any sense.
