The weirdest thing to me is, if GSP wasn't lying and he really walks around under 190, is he planning to bulk up a bunch to cut to 185? If so, he's probably putting 170 out of reach for the foreseeable future, meaning he's signing up to be undersized in perpetuity. Seems like fucken strange decisionmaking

I think it might be one of the most exciting matchups ever.

Provided Khabib doesn't return to the dust from which he came either guy will probably work right back into a title shot within the year when they lose.

I'm sure they only negotiated with reebok and did no due diligence to see what their market was like, then turned it around and sold it for 4 billion in the same manner

No one here knows anything about what was actually going on but do you think it's like, impossible for a successful corporation to gently caress up and make a bad decision? Pollyanna Capitalism is a new one for me

i've known a few guys who are orthodox to fight southpaw specifically for a powerful jab and hook. you can train up a competent cross with your non-dominant hand fairly quickly and having a naturally powerful lead hand is very beneficial.

Seems like the hard part would be learning the footwork

Yeah I think Conor's schtick is pretty annoying. Chael was entertaining in a Carnival Barker kinda way.

I was out of the sport while he got popular and now that I'm paying attention again I watched some videos to try and understand his insane popularity and idgi

He talks a ton of poo poo to absolutely everyone including the UFC, has an entire country behind him and knocks dudes the gently caress out a lot

Yeah I get the knockout bit, but from what I can tell the poo poo talk isn't even creative or funny. Like, I haven't found any examples of him being clever instead of just really loud. Obviously trying to figure it out in retrospect is very different from being there at the time, though.

The Chael comparison is a bit unfair too. Chael has said a lot of unfunny stupid poo poo, but I'm laughing right now thinking about "He doesn't even sound like me. He sounds Mexican"

I wish Nate Diaz beat him up twice.

Diaz repeatedly out talking him was...something. The funniest thing I've seen Connor do is flip out when Nate makes fun of him.

I think all of that sucked except for the time he transmorphed into Mighty Mouse and said the red panty night thing, that was impressive in terms of how impossible we thought it was (though racially an odd choice)

Makes sense to me, I'd rather be black than Irish too, provided I was rich and also there was no such thing as racism. Sunburn is a bitch

i think the bisping that fought anderson would have given him trouble at any point in his career. if anderson's chin was still superhuman and he was a hair quicker he probably would have won but bisping's non-committal offence still would've been a problem.

If they both fight to their Full Potential and just stand there doing taunts and impressions of dead pop stars then Anderson wins the decision on grounds of More Handsome and Not a Manc

silva could never beat the contender s of today, a retired gsp and an older, more asthmatic dan henderson

Dan Henderson is much different as a fighter than he was 9 years ago when Silva whipped his rear end. For example, he gets a lot of arm work in lifting mail from the aarp, so the BRH is deadlier than ever

are you being really obtuse about the use of the word "prediction" here or what

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.

It is neither necessary nor sufficient to possess fingers in order to code. Indeed the existence of fingerless Coders (of which I am one) and their success at producing code places into doubt the entire utility of the finger as coding tool. Perhaps the finger, in encouraging by its very existence reliance upon a particular coding technique, produces an inherently inferior Coder.
