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.

Has there been a recorded increase in covid cases since UFC/other sports starting having crowds again?

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.

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!

Final reminder to get your Goonweight picks in if you haven't:

I've been posting in these threads for years. So I would like you all to extend me some grace for what I am about to ask.

What is roidtech?

Everyone's answering you by linking the video but that's not your question, is it? (unless it is, in which case I can generally support Marching Powder's reaction)

Which quotes lifesports.ru, which, is actually down. But it's archived:

There seems to be video shaped box in the middle that might actually be the original audio for this, but it's flash and probably doesn't work even if I pulled it out of there (I'm guessing it preserved the player, not the video), but I might poke at it later.

I want to hear the original audio because that would be loving hilarious but I don't know that I'm prepared to figure out how to rescue it from that webpage archive (and as mentioned, suspect it's impossible). :smith:

Not a UFC event, but I think Anderson deserves the mention here anyways.

His opponent, JCC Jr, missed weight by a couple pounds. The fat and never lived up to his potential boxer will probably win over the wrung out MMA legend.

I hope he's enjoying all the juice he wants and feels a lot better!

Literally every for-profit business is gonna be some level of "pissed off" when being asked for more money, it's what they do with it then that matters, a normal business would negotiate in good faith...the UFC announces an interim title fight.

Most fighters don't change how they fight (aside from over very long periods of time, like Arlovski for example), and they're gonna teach folks to fight exactly like they do.

It certainly illustrates why he executed that fight that way.
