Waiting for Adesanya, Figueiredo, Riddel and Peterson to weigh in, everyone else was ready at the start with Demian Maia trailing shortly behind. No hoop/box uses so far.

Anyway:


Seems like Adesanya is walking out right now, though he's least likely to miss weight so who cares. edit: yup, 183.5, roughly as usual.

Also figuerido hasn't weighed in yet and has 12 minutes left, seems likely he's gonna mis

Edit: Peterson looks like total poo poo and misses with 148.5

There hasn't, there is probably a nonzero increase but not nearly significant enough to be seen within the broader declining case trend that has been happening everywhere in the u.s. the last 2 months

There's only been two domestic UFC events with a crowd, one was in Texas and coincided very closely with that boxing event that had like a 70k crowd which was also in Texas, and the other was in Florida and coincided with spring break, so in both cases there's probably not enough isolation to measure the effect.

I liked Cruz a lot more when he wasn't fighting or commentating and had effectively stopped existing in the public sphere.

I don't blame Dana for being mad at Paul, because he's very much aware of how there's no valid argument against how he robs his fighters from the pay they deserve and the Pauls have emboldened those fighters to stick up for what they deserve.

hosed up that the paul brothers are on the side of good in something.

Not UFC, but the recent bitcoin convention in miami was a superspreader event as most idiot coiners are no-vaxxers as well.

hey dom, less than 1/10 people die from car accidents per year than covid but we still wear seatbelts. only thing that would make that shirt shirt better would be if it were a tank top so you could see his awesome tribal back tattoo under it

The broadcast is live, the crowd is in the building and the the UFC 263 GDT is posted, I expected this to be aggressively paced and sure enough, they opened the broadcast with the first two fighters already ready to go. We've got 14 fights tonight, come post!

"Hi, I'm awesomeolion."

Did I miss a game day thread or are we doing something else for those? Dom Cruz is terrible at commentating and a goofball idiot. He mainly says fighters should bounce around and throw a million feints like he does or saying over/under hooks a bunch of times (whatever those are). Definitely give "i am very smart" vibes which matches exactly with that stupid shirt. Also continuously blaming a ref in the pettiest way possible for a reasonable stoppage was really cringe

I hope you get crushed to death by a fat guy trying to commit suicide by falling out of a window and when the paramedics answer the local bystander asking if you'll live, he just says "fat chance" and laughs.
