I am sure that Israel Adesanya has mentioned doing juju at some point or another, but I am also sure that at the time he was talking about the magic system in some obscure anime and not any real world spiritual belief system

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 does! A friend of my gf's, Dustin Joynson, is fighting on the card against Amir Aliakbari at Heavyweight. I hope he does well because Aliakbari seems like a mean mf'er.

There was an update that I've now lost saying that Francis is making 8 figures for the Fury fight, not 8 million.

The whole thing really should have pulled the wool from a lot of people's eyes with regard to how poo poo the UFC actually can be at business. There's some quote from White that 'well, he wants to go take easy fights in boxing for more money' and it's like 'wait, that's an option for your HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION? To make more money in the lower tier of a different sport? And that isn't indicative of a problem with your approach?

You point this out and you get 'well, Francis wasn't a draw' to which the obvious reply is 'Dana is the promoter.' And if you can't make someone like Francis, the absolute platonic ideal of an easily promotable heavyweight fighter, a draw, what the gently caress are you doing in the business? And, if he isn't a draw, why is now signed for an insane amount of money for a sport he's never fought in before?

You know that guy from tekken who has that move that will do like 90 percent of the opponents life gauge if they're stupid enough to hang out in range of the longest animation in fighting games? That is the only thing I can think of more focussed and deliberate than that absolutely epic crime against genitals.

Hello.

Mekchu here, local business owner and death fight enthusiast.

Did you miss out on the IZWF and regret not being cool and hip with it?

Tired of your posts constantly being called bad and awful?

Are your threads being trolled by your "enemies" (*wink wink*)?

Do you wish you could fight other posters from other subforums you just don't like?

Think there's no answer?

You're so stupid!

There is.

Finally, there's an elegant, comfortable way for Goons to fight each other to the death over out mutual hatred, ourselves!

Come on down to the Enclosed Pool Area.

We're the home of the original Something Awful Wrestling. Ka-pow!

loving hell, I didn’t realize Jamahal Hill got his injury during a fighter basketball game. His team lost to Cormier’s team, even.

Close down heavyweight, light heavyweight, and half of middleweight.

I've maintatined for a while that if you can't make middleweight, you get folded into heavyweight. It would make middleweight and heavyweight incredible (relatively)

Also, a fighter came out to a techno remix of the macarena and it sort of ruled. (He ended up losing by RNC)

Was Dos Santo's back tattoo painted on or some kind of temporary application? poo poo is the most vibrant ink I've ever seen if it's a tat.

temporary application. KSW is still one of few big orgs that do the temp tats for sponsors. I don't think any other big org does them.

KSW ended with the commentators labeling Szymon Bajor, who is white and from Poland, "the great white hope" to defeat Phil de Fries, who is white, and from England.

And then de Fries choked Bajor unconscious because Bajor tapped three inches in front of the referee's face and he somehow missed it.

Phil De Fries once knocked himself out running into Matt Mitrione's legs so this story is even more ridiculous than you thougt.

Matt Mitrione is going to wind up having one of the most oddly fascinating career spectrums at heavyweight by the time he's done.

Majkol posted:

Nothing enormously exceptional, but Costa/Lingo, Park/Duraev, Prado/Azaitar and Maddalena/Hafez were all decent, and Holm/Bueno Silva is fun if you like watching Holly Holm lose.
