I am not a very social media savvy person. I mean I use it but its to look at cat pics, dog pics, quick how to tutorials and lie about how happy my life is (it actually is really good tbqh, thanks for asking)

A few of the other threads have had some derails, nothing majorly bad but still noticeable, and more discussions about the ethical or unethical things that people post on their social media. From Pat Downey to Keenis Cornelius.

:siren: Post Links/Images/Examples :siren:

What this thread is for

This is for posting about the lovely things people from combat sports post and talk about. Be it QAnon insanity, racist dogwhistling, etc.

Feel free to discuss why that stuff is bad, how its lovely and also why nobody should support that person financially (eg. don't buy from X sponsor, they sponsor that guy).

If you want to post about some feel good content, feel free to do that too. There was an instagram post of Kennedy Maciel helping his opponent off the mat I saw and that was very :shobon: and I would be happy to see that as well as the bad things people say or do on social media.

What this thread is not for

Remember the golden rule, don't touch the poop.

If someone in here disagrees with your take, keep it civil. If you can't keep it civil, don't engage. If you can't help but engaging, then you'll be warned. If you ignore the warning get probated.

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread and will be tolerant of a lot, but remember if I ask you to stop then for the love of god just stop. If you disagree with my request, feel free to PM me. I think that's a fair thing to ask.

People on twitter are currently campaigning to get Former Strikeforce Champion and Esteemed Hottie Gina Carano fired from The Mandalorian for posting a bunch of transphobic and anti-mask stuff.

Should have mentioned "cite your sources/post examples" in the OP

The grappling thread has been dead for a while due to a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Do we really need a separate thread for talking about the stupid poo poo Tom DeBlass said?

The grappling thread hasnt been dead but it has seen less active posting yeah. I laid out the value of this thread and people's desire to have a place they can focus more on technique discussion without derails where people post "DID YOU SEE WHAT MICHAEL PINNOCHIO SAID ON INSTAGRAM????" disrupting it in the OP and in the Grapplig Thread. This thread isn't also solely for grappling people to talk about the notable people who post dumb things on social media, it can be any combat sports person you wanna shine a light on. You see it just 2 posts above with someone talkong about Gina Carano. I don't think there's such finite real estate on this internet forum that we can't have two very wildly varying topics have their own threads. Like I said this thread has been an idea kicked around for some time before the current state of things.

If they actually threw down the fight would be another one of those "is there any possibility they can both lose?" scenarios.

I can't believe they've found someone who would make me want to root for Dillon Dannis to break the arm of and not stop the fight and yet...

Jens was horrifically abused as a kid. I think he could do a decent job channeling that emotional stress towards training and not towards like his kids or family. I think maybe he was a bit of a drunkard too but overcame that.

lol gordon saw someone rich and famous face repucussions for minimising the holocaust and this made him really uncomfortable. that said we post in a forum of rules and laws. i don't think it should be a crime for wishing someone would come to the defence of someone who came to the defence of a holocaust apologist.

Its not what this thread is for doing nor should be. Feel free to run to QCS if you're so offended by the thread rule to not poo poo on other goons being enforced though.

3 posts in a row throwing another tantrum over an innocuous 6er sure is a fascinating way to post "ironically"

if you have a problem with the sixer, go to QCS with the complaint and stop making GBS threads up the thread (or any other thread for that matter). OMG Chael and I already spoke about it so your input isn't really needed here.

In a bit of news that probably everyone heard about on the discord channel most of us are in, Roberto Abreu & everyone running the Fight Sports team are pieces of poo poo. How and why? Here's some quick reading.

Mo Jassim, head ADCC organizer, makes a callout about sexual assault that happened and how Cyborg and his friends tried to cover up one of their blackbelts grooming/assaulting a 16yr old - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSdI2iSjV_N/

Cyborg puts out a statement saying "starting immediately there will be a zero tolerance policy towards sexual misconduct" while also saying the guy, Marcel Goncalves, who assaulted a kid doesn't represent Fight Sports but was also one of their coaches - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSddGlss8N2/

Vagner Rocha put out a statement due to his proximity/involvement with it all - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSehCXRrwn3/

Mo posted another assault that happened to a woman by a blue belt in Brazil at a Fight Sports camp where Cyborg screamed at the victim for calling the police - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmQuUZL706/

Keith Rummel owned Fight Sports Naples (FL) which is where the assault happened, the coach was put there by Cyborg, and also explains how Cyborg told him he had to pay Marcel $35,000 for "his share of the gym" (Marcel was not at all an owner of the gym nor invested into it) and so Keith refused to do that. So, Cyborg stripped him of his affiliation with Fight Sports, the gym is now Evolve or something like that - https://www.instagram.com/p/CSnaYH0jSOb/

In short, gently caress Roberto Abreu

Jesus Christ, what even was the attempt at a joke here.

Oh it was from December 2021 and was "in response to Erbeth mocking Gordon's dad's death " and saying he'd kill Gordon and r*pe Gordon's gf.

Justin Gaethje getting mad that Bar Stool Sports gave Paddy 50k as a bonus or something at the PPV for his fight. Then gets into a slapfight with the president of Bar Stool, only to get called out for chilling with Kadyrov, then claims he never met Kadyrov even though there are photos of them meeting and Gaethje hanging out with his guys in Chcechnya.

i hate that i'm posting about andrew tate but cerrone's response to his poo poo was kind of funny

https://bloodyelbow.com/2023/07/26/andrew-tate-ufc-hall-of-famer/

quote:

In a recent podcast appearance, Andrew Tate got wind of supposed comments from Cerrone about his capabilities (or in this case, the lack thereof) in prizefighting.

He was quick to issue a response, first by running through his professional record.

“I’d like to think that my record stands for itself. I’ve had 88 fights. I’ve had a bunch of fights. (I’m) a four-time world champion. I fought (under) a bunch of rules, including MMA.

“And I did my very best, and I won a bunch of titles and made some money and beat a bunch of people. It is what it is.”

He then directed his attention at Cerrone.

“I’ve heard of him. Didn’t McGregor finish him pretty quick?

“If he has a problem with me, come to my house. He knows where I am, everyone knows where I am. Until then, I have no problems with anybody.

“If he thinks I can’t fight, and if he wants to tell it to my face and kick my rear end, he’s welcome to try. And I strongly believe he would regret that decision.”


cerrone's response:

https://twitter.com/CSTodayNews/status/1684010418484940802



cerrone trying to be all cordial and nice though is really not shocking and also dumb as hell
