I would like Anderson Silva to only fight unranked newish guys until he's ready to retire. Just get some dazzling capoeria knockouts, yell some stuff in his weird high voice, then ride off into the sunset to do Michael Jackson moves with his children in peace.

Triticum Guzzler posted:I can't speak to the quality of the tattoo, but the only part of it I understand is the belt and the words It's a pretty low-quality tattoo. The linework on the geometric shapes is uneven, but not in a way that matches the perspective of the tattoo. The lettering overflows in places, and the shading is much too heavy and not coming from any particular light source. But Cody seems like a quantity over quality guy with his tattoos so I'm sure he's perfectly happy with it.

Yeah, can't really hate on it since it has a more personal meaning to him. Lots of people get tattoos drawn by their kids and of course you don't expect them to look like a flash drawing. Agree on the application though.

I genuinely don't believe Cyborg is ever going to make 145 without either getting of the steroids (which she won't do) or using diuretics (which she'll get popped for). I think she's pissed herself into irrelevancy.

CommonShore posted:I've thought about this a bit - wouldn't the endocrine oversight be ridiculously complicated? Like, the TRT era combined with 8 other factors? Nah. WADA and the Olympic Committee are allowing trans athletes now: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jan/25/ioc-rules-transgender-athletes-can-take-part-in-olympics-without-surgery The rule is basically that you need to consistently test in the normal hormone range for your gender for a full year before competition in order to compete. Since USADA is the American associate of WADA I would imagine they'd use some variation of those rules if it came up. For a trans woman to compete, the concern seems to be that she'd some how have freakish man strength, but it's pretty well established that testosterone is what enables people to build muscle mass and strength. If it's in the normal female ranges for an extended period of time the athlete shouldn't have any kind of strength advantage. I think the roadblock to seeing a bunch of trans people fighting in MMA is really just the fact that there's not a lot of trans people into MMA, and perhaps social stigma in some places. I recall one of Fallon Fox's opponents immediately falling back to accusing her of having man strength when she got beat up. And it's not that long ago that we had someone like Big Nog saying he wouldn't roll with a gay fighter.

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:Well I think the argument was that they do not lose enough of the muscle mass and bone density when they transition, it can take years. Yeah, this part isn't as well studied, but the IOC was comfortable enough that it didn't effect athletic performance that it's a non-issue. Anecdotally I've lost like 4" off my biceps so far. Also these arguments also seem to focus specifically on trans women. Do people just have 0 reservations about trans men fighting cis men? Trans men literally get to jack themselves up on an infinite supply of testosterone to transition yet it never seems to come up.

CommonShore posted:Yes, but if you read the article there, for a FTM person to qualify, she needs to be within normal ranges for a full year before qualifying, and to even get to normal female ranges actually takes some time on its own. Just to be clear, an FTM person is a trans man and should be called "he".

CommonShore posted:The FTM was the typo. Yeah, I realized after I re-parsed your post. No worries! Josuke Higashikata posted:In my experience, this isn't always true and gender neutral pronouns should probably be used when you're addressing someone who you know is trans but not how they fully identify. S'not like that's hard or intended to cause offence. Absolutely being gender neutral is an easy way to avoid offense, however if someone is explicitly telling you they identify male or female you're not going to be wrong if you use the pronouns that match that. There's always exceptions of course so if you're the cautious sort I encourage you to do exactly what you say.

I.N.R.I posted:true. but i think the supposed argument about muscle memory and bone structure applies the other way too, if anything there should be some concern for people born as women intending to fight men. i dont believe that trans athletes have an unfair performance advantage but i do have a really hard time believing that there arent at least some features of the human body exclusive to birth gender that cant be reversed or fortified by hormones or testosterone. its not really my battle to fight though yeah. there's definitely questions but i think they mostly exist because nobody's given a gently caress to do any research. now that trans people are coming into the national conversation a bit maybe we'll see some actually studies. even the standard hormone therapy trans people take is based mostly on "well, some doctors gave this poo poo to some folks in the 60s and it worked out ok so this is what we do now". there's very little research into actual optimal treatments and specific effects of the compounds. otoh, you look at a cis woman like Gabi Garcia and it's pretty clear that some of these extreme body differences are present even in variation amongst cis people. granted her weight would keep her out of any real women's weight class.

Rigel posted:I don't think we'll have to worry about this anytime soon. Its not like an olympic sport where you can qualify for the trials and if you perform they have no choice but to let you compete, Dana White is going to take one look at the next Fallon Fox and go "oh, hell no". I don't think many B-level promotions will want that headache either. Yeah. Ultimately I don't think you're going to see trans MMA fighters in the high levels of the sport any time soon both because there's just not many of them, and to get to a point where people are talking about you nationally means you are performing near the top of your sport and there's frankly a lot of barriers in front of most trans people that preclude training to that level. Although I do want to hear Joe Rogan ramble incoherently for a while about whether it's unfair for a trans woman to wear a cup in the octagon since opponents aren't used to accidentally kicking them and hurting their toes or something.

Rigel posted:Dana said that if they did it, the UFC would want the boxing match to be at the top of a card filled with MMA fights. How would they do that, logistically? Can you quickly replace a cage with a ring, or would they just have to fight in a ring, pride style? MMA in a ring isn't unheard of, as you note. Also a Floyd fight would probably go down in an arena big enough to just have both set up already.
