Azithromycin is an antibiotic that usually comes in a pack of six thus Z-pak. It is used for all kinds of poo poo but is basically useless for MRSA.

More broadly it is an unsanctioned fight that was commonly held in a bar or a shady cellar somewhere. Think of the first fight in Rocky. The small time, local mma events are often called smokers as well.

Eat This Glob posted:As everyone has mentioned, CM Punk is not fighting anyone who has a bunch of pro wins because no proper commission in the world () would sanction the fight, but for the sake of the pro wrestling posters, the people talking about him getting a title shot "because of the money" or whatever (joking or not), this is the current champion on the left: That fight was insane on multiple, perhaps all, levels.

I can't imagine he ever wants to actually fight, he must be having the time of his life. It's like kids space camp but for MMA-loving ex-pro wrestlers. Getting hit in head for free is not fun.

oldpainless posted:The best thing about CM Punk is his WWE documentary where almost everyone, including Punk and his friends, says that he's an rear end in a top hat and if you don't like him then that is your problem. This reminds me of Dominick Cruz in a press conference saying something like "Even my friends think I'm a jerk." But Cruz is salty, smart, great at fighting and doesn't give a poo poo whose feelings he hurts so it's pretty endearing.

A cross counter is a specific kind of counter punch that goes over the opponents jab though. Everything you are saying just makes it clear that you don't actually know what you're talking about

uncleKitchener posted:Isn't a cross counter meant to go over another cross? I thought it applied to both. I do admit I haven't even persued any of this knowledge in a decade so I'm admittedly not sharp. If both fighters are orthodox a cross counter happens when fighter A throws a jab and fighter B throws a right hand over the jab, crossing their arms. If you want to see examples of this watch Glover Texeira fights. It's one of his favorite punches. Roy Nelson also likes it.

Paige Van Zant gets lots of featured time as well do you think she's getting ppv points?
