Usually when one fighter hits the other fighter so much they curl up into a ball and quit falls under the term starched. See also Ronda Rousey vs. Sarah McMann.

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.
Edgar > Mendes

If Mendes wins outright i will be proven wrong but until that fight happens this is a fair view to hold.

Unless Edgar wasn't motivated.

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
Eh, that one doesn't bother me as much as losing Khabib vs Cerrone. Ferguson can fight any other top LW and it'll be good poo poo. The article mentions Barboza vs Ferguson, and while not as significant of a fight it'll probably be more entertaining.

Yes because Khabib fights are known for not being entertaining.

I didn't say that, but since you're being a dick about it yeah I do think Tony Ferguson and Edson Barboza have had more entertaining fights overall than Khabib.

Rampage prank called Chael. Chael says he gets 1 video game a year, for Christmas. It's always the newest Call of Duty and he tears through it in 4 days

Chad has a big power advantage over Frank and there ain't no featherweight that can lay on him, so I expect a good fight. Frankie has a big technical skill and cardio advantage, but Mendes is a freak athlete, I favor frank but would not be surprised if chad pulled it off.

It's crazy to think that Frankie tossed BJ loving Penn around like a ragdoll but will probably struggle with Chad.

He's betrayed Xbox.

DJ is cool as gently caress and all that, but I really hope people don't donate silly amounts of money to him. Somehow, I think he'll manage without donations being one of the best fighters in the world and all that.

I don't know how to make analogies

People have been suggesting this means he's thinking of retiring. From his wording it seems more like he's just depressed that he keeps getting injured before fights, not that he's giving up and retiring.

If they rematched Chad would lose bad

you're crazy if you don't think conor was training grappling for aldo. aldo is a black belt in bjj and his camp started life primarily as a grappling school. the fact that he proved to be a top-knotch striker on top of everything is what put him at the top, but you'd be a moron to take his grappling for granted.

Yeah? Well Mendes's camp started primarily as a shirtless summer camp. The fact that he proved to be a top-notch fighter on top of everything is what put him on top, but you'd be a moron to take his shirtlessness for granted.

actually, i think it's a shirtless-mandatory neighborhood, rather than merely a camp. like a nudist colony, but for nubile, shirtless men under 5'6".

I do this technique called a suplex. You probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.

I always took "starched" to mean somebody getting knocked stiff, like Nate Quarry against Franklin.
Franklin's career is long enough that we can define all sorts of terms using him.

Starched: Knocked out and goes stiff.
TKO'd: Stays conscious but clearly can't defend and is just getting beaten.
Ragdolled: GTA extra.
