Bluedeanie posted:At least there is that. Wonder who played good cop. My theory is that Joe Silva is living in a basement somewhere, phoning Dana and Sean Shelby whenever something is dumb. In other words, he's still getting to play IRL fantasy MMA, but now that he doesn't get paid, he just makes other people do the hard work while he eats cheetos and watches the fights.

Intel&Sebastian posted:Isn't that what he's saying? Absent of any miracle that would let either one of them will themselves into the title fight that GSP just got ASAP means "after GSP". He's just saying that GSP skipping the line isn't the worst thing that could happen to either of them. At this point anyway. No he's saying that they should be pissed because who knows what will happen in the division next. GSP could win and retire, and Bisping could be out with an eye injury, and then the vacant title will go to the winner of Kurt Angle and two bonobos standing on each other's shoulders in a trenchcoat, because that would get more buys.

I.N.R.I posted:like i know the ufc doesnt have the best record for treating its athletes with any kind of dignity but i want them to move away from that kind of thing, not do more of it. theres always a possibility of losing your spot in any sport but turning that into a public spectacle for the sake a few pennies at the expense of both of the fighters involved, its just humiliating, on a human level. I did the poll and my answers basically say this - use the platform to promote new prospects, not to humiliate old fighters.

After Mark Hunt retires and it becomes the Mark Hunt Emeritus Mark Coleman Emeritus Award: PSP's Favourite Fighter, who will be PSP's next favourite? Mark Godbeer or Marc Diakiese? Or Randa Markos?

I've met several people who study JJJ and they're universally goobers, with the exception of my Chinese friend from Judo who is like "yeah, in JJJ we get side control and then we crush your testicles with a twisting motion. Works really well, but not good for tournament."

In essence you should be interviewing the fighters who are cool and good and who deserve better fights and to get paid more, not the fighters who have tons of exposure and who everyone already knows.

Anderson Silva was not Always Bad. Bisping would have always been a tough matchup for Silva, not because Bisping has been underrated or is super good or because he wasn't hittable, but because styles make fights, and Bisping's generally conservative outside kickboxing volume game is a strong counter to Silva's feint-heavy counter game. Likewise, Bisping's worst losses have been to guys who are able to come forward and overwhelm his defenses or apply relentless pressure. Anderson Silva was never that fighter. Also Anderson Silva lost to a guy whose next best win was Emmanuel Yarborough.

DeimosRising posted:There are no statistical grounds for predicting the outcome of a (truly random) dice roll, ever. Each side is equally likely and no prediction can be made more accurate than random chance. No no no you got it all wrong. Once you roll the die, the same number is less likely to come up. So if I roll a 4, because doubles only have a 1 in 36 chance I know that there's only a 1 in 36 chance of getting another 4. Other numbers are more due. Just like with slot machines. Especially the computerized video ones.

david carmichael posted:That is the opposite of true. If you rolled a sufficiently high numbe of times you would expect an approximately even distribution of results. If you rolled a 4 five times in a row, the odds of rolling another 4 is 1/6. The rolls are independent, and previous results don't give you any more predictive power.

Captain Log posted:I have a question posed by my Pops that I couldn't answer. What is the difference between USADA regulations (fighting, fencing, boxing, Olympics) and the testing that applies to major pro American sports (Football, basketball, baseball) ? Bluedeanie posted:It exists, is well funded and is taken relatively seriously by the people in charge of executing it and enforcing it. To expand on Bluedeanie's point, in major pro American sports they basically hand you a calendar with "bring us a cup of pee" written on it in 16-week intervals. In other words, it's not real testing.

Hype money aside, if GSP wants a fight at middleweight it should be against Silva, Hendricks, Jacare, or Rockhold.
