“Did those belts ever go to Africa?” Du Plessis asked at UFC 285 media day. “As far as I know, they came to America and New Zealand. I’m going to take a belt to Africa. I’m the African fighting in the UFC. Myself and Cameron [Saaiman], we breathe African air. We wake up in Africa every day. We train in Africa, we’re Africa born, we’re Africa raised, we still reside in Africa, we train out of Africa. That’s an African champion, and that’s who I’ll be.” totally understand why izzy was pissed

Coincidentally, Dana White spent the post-fight presser making GBS threads on the media for lying and saying he said USADA didn't matter when he looked into a camera a couple weeks ago and said "Who cares what USADA says?"

Robbie Lawler was the guy who got me back into the UFC in a big way. His late career title run was unexpected and awesome and result in three of my favourite fights ever. Me and my wife watched his fight with Condit at a Hooters in Mexico City because we couldn't find anywhere else close by that was showing it and it's one of my absolute favourite MMA memories. I'm genuinely misty eyed at Bob getting to walk off into the sunset on a win, and a spectacular win at that. Dude is one of the true originals in MMA and watching him is like watching no one else. god speed.Marching Powder posted:was there a dunc post about a dude paying to be suplexed by large women in motel rooms or am i remembering pornography A writing project I did at one point was a series of stories set in the porn industry, and as a result, I know quite a lot about fetish pornography. One of the more common ones is 'lift and carry' which is simply large women (like, over six foot) playfully pursuing smaller men and women around a room until they catch them, after which they simply carry them around in various ways. That's the whole thing. There's no sex and often no nudity. So, to answer your question, yes.

Some hold that any card without a championship fight is bad, some need a minimum of a contendership bout, some are happy with prospects. Some consider it a factor of the proportion of ranked fighters to unranked fighters in competition on a given night.

I've been following Barry Robinson on IG for a while. The material isn't particularly well presented, but he has a lot of good points around skill vs grit, and the common tell he labels the rhythm step. He got a shout-out from Bo Nickal, and shares a bit from behind the scenes in camp on the gameplanning https://i.imgur.com/1oxD9gh.mp4 E: good example of his disjointed railing against the lack of coherent development plans and film/data based approach to high level fight training: https://www.instagram.com/p/CuGwOCrpxLm kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Jul 10, 2023 |

It looks like trump actually came over to the broadcast booth so while the correct response is to spit on him I can’t really blame anyone for politely acknowledging him. What’s kinda interesting is that Rogan doesn’t seem to be reacting in that pic.

Guy Fieri (who's pretty left leaning afaik) got pulled up for shaking hands with DT, too. A lot of pressure for decorum, I'm sure, for whatever that may be at an event where people are expected to knock each others' heads off.

I still wonder how anxiety inducing it must be as a secret service guy the multiple times a fighter climbed out of the cage to talk to ol Donny Toop. "This person just knocked a man's spine out of his body I sure hope he is chill here!"

 The Brandon Royval fight was Pantoja's 11th with the company. 14th, if you count TUF. I know this is nothing this thread does not already know, but seriously, gently caress this sport.

du plessis seems like the worst and i hope he loses convincingly, I do not get why middleweight seems to be the destination of choice for the gross vibes dudes, it's not cool that someone as lovely and great as whittaker lost to that sort of dude that said it's fine for people to take pictures with former presidents, for most people the president part is the only part that matters and unless they're out campaigning in a political context it doesn't really tell you much about their political views or anything

I would prefer if no fighters associated with anyone involved in American politics because holy poo poo seems to exclusively attract the worst loving people.Eat This Glob posted:what's up, fellow guy who loves robbie and wound up at a mexican hooters unplanned  It was such a good fight even the guys who were originally there to watch football ended up watching it. Great loving night. Also, my wife's very middle class Mexican friends, who'd never watched a fight ever, were a bit taken aback. I jokingly pointed out that Abel Trujillo had quite striking eyes, and they proceeded to comment on every single fighter's eyes. Robbie has kind eyes, which I thought was funny in light of the best Robbie Lawler gif.

The version of him at UFC 171 is probably the best Welterweight in the sport up to that point. He finally delivered on all that promise. It all came together. His striking, wrestling, game planning. He even added leg kicks. And he dug deep. I don't agree with the decision, but being able to rally and win the last round after rounds 3 and 4 is bloody impressive. He finally won me over. And then he followed it up by never looking even passable as a fighter ever again.

I remember when news came that Johny and his missus were expecting a kid I remember posting something like guess he's eating for two now. No one else found it funny but I laughed at it all day and still get mileage out of it. He had weight issues lol.
