-Atom- posted:Inmates with domestic violence charges are viewed much like you would expect child molesters and pedophiles to be treated within the population of any given facility. If he's taken alive, he'll be easily convicted but go straight into solitary confinement forever because he's a violent psychopath who is also a professional fighter. He'd probably win one or two fights on the yard but in the end he'd wind up on a morgue slab looking like a cube steak, and no way does the prison system want to give a statement to Deadspin about how they let a man named "War Machine" get stabbed to death by Nazis. I believe the previous times he's been locked up, he did his time in administrative segregation for his own safety.

red19fire posted:Dog basically just went to the apartment complex of whoever paid the guy's bail money and said he'd call CPS if they don't tell him where the guy is. Repeat for 3 seasons. It's not too hard, you just have to deal with the dregs of society and be willing to be shot by someone who has skipped bail on their 3rd domestic violence strike. On his A&E show about 90% of the people he chased were meth addicts who supported their habits with petty crime, not exactly supervillains. Plus he was primarily based in Hawaii so they couldn't even run. I doubt Dog bought his way into the bust since it was the US Marshals carrying out the arrest. They'd have just told him to gently caress off unless he was the one who supplied the tip. Most likely he talked to War Machine's friends and convinced them to turn him in for his own good, which is how he busted people about half the time on his TV show. I expected that War Machine was chilling in a hotel room somewhere but I thought every hotel wanted you to put down a credit card for deposit, which should have got him caught sooner.

Agent Tough Juice posted:So apparently police at least got to tase War Machine before arresting him so at least there's that. coconono posted:It still irritates me they didn't have the decency to shoot the guy. Or have him accidentally suffocate in the back of a squad car. KTLA News quote:A hotel guest who witnessed the arrest told KTLA that officers used a Taser on Koppenhaver. I'm curious about the cops yelling "gun" when they busted in, because it says they didn't recover a gun. If they mistook something in his hand for a gun, like a cell phone or a slice of pizza, they could easily have shot him to death instead of just zapping him. It's almost like they're teasing you.

fatherdog posted:The guy who threatened her and her current boyfriend with an automatic weapon gets out on bail, and mysteriously, she leaves the country! Why, this case just fell apart in our hands, there was nothing we could do! I understand she's the primary witness, but he invaded a gym with an AK and then finished up with a SWAT standoff. There's probably dozens of witnesses who can attest to him waving an assault rifle around. Ft. Lauderdale DAs must be incompetent shitheels if they can't keep that case alive.

Well, there's some blame to go around. How does a judge give Thiago Silva bail? He's a trained fighter, citizen of a non-extradition country, facing a double-digit sentence, due to charges for threatening the witnesses with assault weapons. He's like the walking definition of a flight risk and danger to the community. vainman posted:Nice job to whoever said, "never leave it in the hands of the judges" earlier

Sprecherscrow posted:Shields vs. Palhares is actually very interesting. No idea who takes it. I'm legitimately excited to see that. My guess is that Palhares's power and strength will allow him to take control initially, but if Shields can survive he's an amazing scrambler and he's really stifling from the top. The guy went to the mat with Demian Maia and plain shut him down. Palhares tends to fold mentally if he can't destroy a knee right away, so I can see Shields surviving, working his way to the top, and either riding Palhares out or even submitting him if he gasses/gives up hard enough.

CommonShore posted:That's loving weird, because like everyone who he has beaten has a Wiki. There must be some specific volunteer who keeps deleting him for some dumbassed reason. I remember a year or two ago there was this big MMA kerfluffle on Wikipedia. You know how the Wiki page for any given UFC event is basically the best resource for figuring out WTF is going on in them? Like they have the announcement, information about fighters dropping out and getting replaced, what happened at the weigh-ins, full results pf each fight 30 seconds after it ends, performance bonuses, all the information? And you can use them to cross-reference the fighters, previous events, etc. Anyway a while back all the UFC event pages were getting deleted for "notability," and it wound up being this huge extended edit war where people kept reverting the deletions and somebody else would delete them again. It had to go through this whole extended idiot Wiki arbitration. I think they tried to "compromise" so that cards with a title fight could have their own page, but cards without championship bouts would only get abbreviated entries on the "2013 in UFC" summary page. Anyway through this stupid process it emerged that it was being done by a single insane nerd who obsessively hosed with MMA-related pages on wikipedia for months because he personally didn't like MMA. He had no legitimate reasoning at all for what he was doing, but because of how Wikipedia works it took forever to get it resolved. I can't remember if he got overruled by the Wikipedia arbitrators or if he just gave up, but eventually it got back to full pages for each event.

El Roncho posted:Hmm. If only we had a one dimensional, heavy handed brawler in early UFC's. Would have answered so many currently pressing questions. Tank actually got a little juco wrestling experience under his (capacious) belt before he dropped out to pursue a full-time career as a drunken reprobate. Like in his second fight at UFC 6 he beat Paul Varelans by taking him down and beating the poo poo out of him. I would argue Tank in 1995 was more versatile and strictly better than Kimbo ever was.

Mo said that the canvas was so slick that he was worried he'd be taken down, so he held back. It's got to be a big factor in these fights, like if there's no footing isn't that a big advantage for guys like Davis and Tito who really want to get to the ground?

Kimbo mounted a guy seconds into the first round, sat on him doing nothing for several minutes, and when McCarthy finally stood them up for inactivity Kimbo was totally gassed. How? It's not like Dada was making him work to maintain the position. Kimbo didn't do anything to expend energy! It was like watching somebody get breathlessly exhausted from sitting in a chair for two minutes.

gunblade posted:For real though, Emil Meek is a guy who has been struggling with gaining momentum in his MMA career for a couple of years. On the European scene, the opportunity to get a win over a name fighter like Palhares is probably just the kind of chance Emil couldn't turn down. I looked him up on Sherdog and please I would like to know what "No Contest (Overturned by the Promoter)" is supposed to mean, from his fight with something called Piotr Danelski. I'm assuming it is just some kind of hilarious Polish MMA corruption but according to google it is the sole recorded instance of that result. e: oh ok here we go http://www.mmaviking.com/emil-weber-meek-loss-changed-to-no-contest/ apparently Danelski was about to lose by TKO in the third round, so the ref stopped the action and gave him a minute or two to recover, then restarted the bout to enable an extremely Polish majority decision.

Sometimes you have guys who are very good but can't see their path to the next title shot, but they're solid enough they can believe they'll make it against bigger fighters Cerrone is going to 170, too, now that he's lost to RDA by stoppage twice. Or you can go back in time to when Randy lost to Chuck the second time, so he was in the cold as far as 205, but he knew he was good enough to take the heavyweight belt off Silvia.

hell, I liked that, it was fun. Mircea dropped McKenzie with a HARD body kick but couldn't finish on the ground (got ref warnings for repeated blows to back of the head). McKenzie eventually recovered and got the butterfly sweep, they rolled a bit and got back to the feet. I think McKenzie pulled guard and got the same sweep, beat Mircea up a little and looked for a submission, didn't get anything before the round ended. For the second they were both clearly exhausted but Mircea was worse, McKenzie got him down on a trip from body lock and did some grapples on him until he got his arms around the neck finish with a guillotine. Mircea cheated expertly--blows to back of the head, sticking his fingers in Cody's gloves, grabbing the shorts, excellent stuff. Great example of a fun bad fight. e: lol the commentators talking about how they saw Cody in the hotel bar getting hammered every night of fight week Schenck v.

Bushmeister posted:Cody McKenzie is my MMA totem animal I don't know who the commentary team is but I guess the color guy is from the Pacific Northwest and knows Cody and Sam Sicilia personally, and he was saying Cody doesn't really see MMA as a real pursuit at this point and it is just something he does when he doesn't have a gig on a fishing boat. Which is kind of awesome, I think Cody might just be taking fights in the gaps when the boats are down between commercial fishing seasons, as an opportunity to take a trip to Italy and get drunk. He's basically a secondary character from a Jack London novel.
