CarlCX posted:Uriah Hall is going to murder the gently caress out of Gegard Mousasi only to lose a tepid decision to Robert Whittaker and nothing will ever better encapsulate him as a fighter. I like Whitaker for causing pain to Colton Smith, but we all need to hope that Uriah comes out guns blazing and pushes his poo poo in. I really don't want to watch three rounds of Uriah waiting for an opening against a counterstriker.

Gramps posted:Someone kindly explain to me why the hell CM Punk isn't training with Barnett? I thought the prime directive was to prove that pro wrestling is the strongest- did someone not inform mr brooks of this? Someone light the CortXBomb signal I wanna get to the bottom of this. Someone bankroll a team of Barnett, Sakuraba, Minoru Suzuki, and CM Punk to run roughshod over the UFC.

Fozzy The Bear posted:There is going to be soooo much pressure on TJ when he fights Cruz. If he loses he will look like the biggest idiot, leaving the camp that brought you up. There's a lot of pressure on Cruz too. He's returning after another long layoff to fight a guy who took biting his style all the way to the title and who Cruz has been talking poo poo about ever since.

I think of it less as a retirement and more like neutralizing his fight career.

Schaub is using the Reebok deal as a safe face measure so that it looks like he is retiring to take a stand and not because he repeatedly got his rear end knocked out brutally. Podcasts are not big money ventures, especially when you can't use them as free ad space for your other ventures (stand-up tours, TV appearances, etc).

This is going to be awkward because the main job of the White House press corps is spinning poo poo.

I don't know if this got posted, but Chuck Mindenhall did an in-depth piece on Doug Crosby. Other than the sheer insanity of writing songs for the Cro-Mags and watching PPVs in Russian spas, the most revealing part is learning that Crosby's scores are always poo poo because he straight up made his own scoring system. How can an athletic commission continue to use him when he is pretty upfront about not following the 10-point must system that all of the other judges are using?

Sprecherscrow posted:I'm surprised that in a story that at one point takes place at Renzo Gracie Academy and at another talks about the Cro-Mags, Harley Flanagans' name doesn't come up. Metamoris East will have a knife grappling division. Also, any reason is a good reason to post Harley on a horse with a sword:

mewse posted:Happy Friday, lovers This combined with the Woodley picture has led me to believe that Northcutt is a fuckin huge lightweight. I just looked at his record briefly to double check his weight class; does anyone know why most of his fights have been catchweight bouts? Surely not every one of them was against a stoned dude who couldn't put down the donuts.

Bluedeanie posted:I think Nesquick makes a chocolate milk that is decent but very pedestrian. True manchild connoisseurs enjoy a nice frosty glass of Burbach's Countryside Dairy chocolate milk when watching UFC, or perhaps even a bottle of Oberweis. Oberweis is some top-shelf chocolate milk. When the Seoul show happens, Reebok is definitely going to put DPRK on Bendo's jersey.

Why is Reebok so obsessed with the nationalist approach to the fight gear anyways? It's not like this is the loving Olympics where countries go head to head. If they really were lazy, they could have gotten the UFC roster and then gone down going, "Red, blue, red, blue..."

DJ is literally the best at every aspect of MMA in his division. He has the most technical striking and has proven that he can drop people with a single punch. If for some reason he gets bored of striking or wants to keep an opponent guessing, he can shoot a takedown and nobody has the ability to stop the fight from hitting the floor. On the ground, he can snatch submissions at will just to make sure the fight doesn't go to decision. I don't think there has ever been a more complete fighter in MMA history. Every other dominant champ had or has a possible flaw to criticize them with. DJ's only flaw is that Americans hate munchkins.

Goofballs posted:Was there any word on his eyegouging being brought up. I saw the general bold boy stuff about being on the submission too long I just thought the repeatedly trying to take your opponents eyes out was as bad even if Mazagati was fine with it. I think it would be hard to punish him for a rules violation that would have only resulted in a loss of points. Like you won't see a hearing on a dick kick. Cranking submissions after the fight though is unsportsmanlike conduct and can only be handled post facto.
