As much as I hate Dillion or Conor, either one of the would gently caress UP either Paul brother. I get that they both have combat sports and grappling training(and wrestling experience), but they’re loving with people on a whole ‘nother level.

I know it’s all for a payday, though, and I’m here for it

Its conor's fault for running into boxing as if it was something he could do well. Now there's precedent for people with some experience fighting people with infinitely more experience and the audience being mystifyingly willing to care

Back from the dead, but Jake Shields continues to be a scumbag and an awful, awful bigot

I saw that. We're doing the Fallon Fox thing all over again and its going to somehow be worse.

i read forrest griffen's book a decade ago and i remember it being alright and kinda funny ("alright and kinda funny" is the best review i could hope for as a poster)

im pretty sure that's the only mma book I've read. a buddy loaned it to me. i can't imagine trying to actually read hughes' "mid-american psycho" after reading the exerpts every 4 years or so. just thinking of it makes me root for the train every time

Griffin's book has really good fighter advice like 'Don't look at your opponent's cup' and 'walk normally to your corner' and tons of stories about him and his friends being genuine weirdos. It's going to be the gold standard (such as it is) for MMA autobiographies for a long time since Forrest was one of the very few guys in the sport with self awareness.

folks i take no pleasure in announcing that the dumb fighters are at it again

At a wild guess, Ricardo Lamas is Cuban. Cuban Americans are the only Americans with consistently worse politics than Irish Americans, which is quite a feat

Sean Strickland looks exactly like a friend of mine and lives exactly the way that guy did before he got his life together.

Was not prepared for the number of deaths he said here

"kids aged 18-45" would be an all time roganism if it wasn't right next to "100 thousand deaths a day"

remember the mtv show "bully beatdown"? remember when sheilds lost the striking round to a rando? that was fantastic

yet also somehow outstruck Akiyama, proving that this is a dumb fake sport.
