Sorry this will be a long post but my initial idea turned into MMA/wrestling the aristocrats and after just over an hour of story boarding I think it is ready. I give you Connor and the oildome: a wrestlehut original _------------ Connor McGregor finds himself lost in the maze of mathematics not even professor Steiner could solve, trying to figure out how many packets of ramen and Thai blue dick juice flavour prime he could afford with the latest payment from proper 12. Eventually the server takes pity, does the sum for him and hands over one packet of ramen. Connor excited by his new purchase rips open the packing and takes a bite. He frowns, tears open a sachet labelled 'big seasoning - packaged in Langley from internationally sourced ingredients'. He takes another bite, smiles and nods. Hark, what voice breaks over yonder cell block? 'Connor come fight me you dog' So it has come, the call to the slaughter of the oildome, mentioned only in hushed tones should the dies irae befall those who mention it. Surely this moment inspired Goya to paint witches flight. Connor put down his ramen and walked as only he could, a style not unlike an orangutan on his way down the K hole. He arrives in the cell, steps onto the fighting piest, and immediately starts to tumble, reminiscent of a trampolinist attempting to break the record for simultaneous barrel rolls. As he spins his feet catch any unrestrained object in the cell, sending them into the same insane spin he embarked upon. This continues far longer than it should, other prisoners arrive to observe the impromptu show, and from done space beyond time some speculate is the pocket dimension that exists under a pro wrestling ring, Professor ibushi and his foremost expert on the mechanics of spinning collisions with concrete, aerostar, start discussing the possibility of a grand unifying theory of Dr st Piers foundational papers on aliens kidnapping dinosaurs and a man with the power to just get up. With the revelation that gravity isn't real they shake hands and walk off to write what will surely be a Nobel prize winning paper. As if on que Connor crashes to the ground, every flying object falls on him and he looks down to see his leg now has a third joint. Allowing for the quantum superstate Joe Rogan exists in to always be 7 feet from a bigot clutching a live mic. 'so Connor, a hard loss and a sickening injury. What is next for you' 'i don't lose, the doctor robbed me again. Hey oildome man, your Arian brotherhood leader sneaked into my DMS, he says you don't even get fyad. ----stomper58s wife's Oildome man looks up as if hearing a voice from the heavens 'it is time my son. Hurgh dangit' He picks up a dusty and cobwebbed book, seemingly forgotten by time. On the cover it reads 'a farewell to arms. Now with new chapter 'and legs too' by internationally renowned boss of the onsen imanari-san' As the crowd parts and the sun goes down a rustling can be heard in a forgotten corner. The camera pans to a rat feasting on Connors discarded. The rat turns towards the camera and grins. Even now Dillon danis is living off Connors scraps.

i've spent most of my life around combat sports. i for sure thought i at least knew of all the 'geniuses' across fight sports since the 90's. apparently not. today i learned a guy named dany bill exists and he moves completely unlike every other mt / kickboxing dude i've ever seen. crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y5vHnGWTxo

Lid posted:Big foot has unretired I had to check how long he'd been on the shelf since I remembered him retiring ages ago but, apparently, he also unretired ages ago and has done nothing but lose since, then retired again about a week ago, and is now unretiring again on the basis that he doesn't think he actually lost his last fight and wants a rematch

 I know this gets said on a nearly monthly basis at this point, but this might actually be the worst card yet.

CarlCX posted:I know this gets said on a nearly monthly basis at this point, but this might actually be the worst card yet. I don't think I've ever seen a card without a single fight I'm at all interested in before. Your preview is going to have to do some heavy lifting to get me to pay attention to anything Lucasar posted:I missed the UFC card from this weekend? Is it/anything from it worth going back for? Marvin Vettori vs. Jared Cannonier was a lot more fun than I expected, it's well worth watching. Kyung Ko Kang vs. Cristian Quiñonez and Nikolas Motta vs. Manuel Torres would be my other picks. Salikhov vs. Dalby is a good fight but had some slow moments, Costa vs. Flick, Tsaryukan vs. Silva, and Almeida vs. Sabitini are all potentially worth watching if you want to follow prospects.

I feel bad for Vettori. I've never particularly been a fan of his (though he's fine), but his style has such a short shelf life, and he doesn't really have the one punch ability to supplement it a la Mark Hunt.

Sorry, Vettori has a style? I'm not having a go, but despite having watched him fight at least half a dozen times, I have no idea how I'd describe his style. I remember Israel looking not so hot against him. Not in the sense that Vettori was doing well, but Israel just gave the sense that he was having trouble getting going, like he was stuck in 2nd gear. I think I remember Whittaker not looking great either, same thing of not being able to get going, though I might be getting confused. Also, that he wore his shorts the wrong way around one time.

His style is sloppy offense no defense, or something like that anyway.

https://twitter.com/jedigoodman/status/1671013014890516480 The UFC removed Amanda Nunes from everything but Women's Featherweight, because she's the only thing they ever added so without her it would just be a header and a blank white rectangle.

Snowman_McK posted:Sorry, Vettori has a style? Vettori has brute force style imo and I think a lot of his opponents don't expect him to eat the shots he does and keep going forward. I know Cannonier and Vettori both got a bit sloppy after round 3, but for those big boys to go 5 rounds of hard slog was pretty impressive. Cannoniers back muscles looked ridiculous. I kept noticing it looked like Vettori wasn't putting a lot into his punches too. At one point I thought he might have had a hand injury (he didn't), he doesn't throw it with 'pop' if you know what I mean. Its a bludgeoning style.

Vettori is fun to watch and every time I’ve seen him interviewed he’s come across as pretty cool. He handled it well when Costa just didn’t try to make weight for their fight. It seems like he’s settling into being a top 10 gatekeeper, which is a bit weird to watch in real time.
