Does he though? Whenever I've clicked a link and heard him speak I hear a Heel rather than an Analyst. I can never tell if he's serious, and the stuff he says has never been interesting enough to stand on its own.

When he's not being a troll, yeah he's got very good takes on game planning and what moves fighters should make to keep their careers on track.

Speaking of fighters on commentary, we all watched Cage Warriors this afternoon and Paddy Pimblett did a good job. Wouldn't mind having him on a show again.

Kvlt!

i just want Paddy to not make weight one time so he stops doing that whole "binge junk then cut for the fight" thing and hopefully his coronary system will thank him

One of the top things that stuck with me with Chael was that he said every fighter gets asked after they win, who they want to fight next, and way too many of them say "whoever the UFC puts in front of me".. you can't do that if you want your career to take off, you have to have someone in mind and you have to call them out to start hyping yourself

Rampart CRASH, or something more modern?

Either way it’s very funny we have our second MMA-adjacent case of someone so deficient in greens their own poop tried to kill them.

I think it was round 2 where reem might have had an uncalled knockdown due to glove touching mat after big uppercut.

Checked in on Venator FC 12 while waiting for the tall man to fight on boxing tonight

Here was a good finish from the show

Also if you have Fight Pass, Giacomo Santoro (6-1) vs. Kiru Singh Sahota (7-1) (125) was a great fight, flyweights rule

Yeah that uppercut absolutely shut Hari's lights off if just for a split second. Holy poo poo those were some absolutely awful counts by the ref in the third. Both times he gave Hari an extra 5-8 seconds.

Reem continues to wrack up solid kickboxing wins by falling apart slightly slower than everyone else.

This is still probably the most moral use of a harvard law degree. They usually become war criminals or aspiring war criminals

Yeah, it's a cop gang out of the Los Angeles sheriff's department that's been doing bad poo poo for like thirty years. Beltran used to be LASD and has their tattoo.

MMA brings us to such wonderful places of cultural learning.

There's another gang within the LASD or LAPD that is basically the "whites only" gang too.
