The real historical precedent for Dustin Conor 3 is whoever shaves their head for the fight is getting KTFO

Kelleher would have kicked his knee to pieces. I'm just waiting to watch that happen to o malley.

Edit: good irish american match up.

The ufc is very obviously protecting O'Malley. In fact, they're treating him the way that all prospects should be treated, but the fact that this is abnormal is the real story here.

Imagine if Shabazyan had gotten a gimmie fight instead of Hermanson.

I have heard weird stories from time to time about scammers on Steam pretending to be other goons, poorly copying their profile or picture or whatever, I'm assuming that's what happened here. I'm assuming ya'll can resolve this in PMs, but if not, please PM me and I'll take a look at it.

Back on topic, I just finished watching

Steam is weird. No matter how many times i reset my password to 50 random characters i get "there was an attempted login with your exact email and password" emails :smug:

i think betting on poirier vs mcgregor 3 is going to be the first and last time i bet on sports. Easiest money ever mcgrego sucks like poo poo.

Nothing else really going on in the MMA world today so I thought i'd post a timestamp of a video I watched today

It has absolutely nothing do with MMA whatsoever but it completely jostled me out of my zoned out trance I was in, you'll see why, anyway happy 4th y'all :toot:

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.

Can someone wrinkle my brain a bit and tell me who the same guy is? I'm guessing the 42 year old Russian HW that put his feet on the stool while laying down on the mat during the round change in one of his most recent fights.

Also, that shirt and shorts combo is uh, a choice.

I like the matchup but that's such a step down for Barboza and up for Chikadze.

Yeah making a man's liver explode a minute in to a fight will do that, I'm a little worried for Giga.

It certainly feels that way but Giga is already 6-0 in the UFC. He deserves the step up, and honestly the only way Edson will ever sniff a title shot is if he only faces strikers for a while so it makes sense for him too

If there are any other folks out there like me who really enjoyed "Inside the Octagon" back when it had Dan Hardy and don't really enjoy it now that it's a buncha other weirdos and the British play-by-play guy (Gooden), you may be glad to know that Hardy seems to have gotten a deal with BT Sport where he is basically doing the same show but solo. It might be geoblocked some places but it works here in Canada.

Here's the vid for Mack/Poirier 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTETuEQJh6k

No mind melting insights, but I think he does a good job of talking about range management and how both guys move around differently.
