Nierbo posted:I completely agree. I think Dustin is a pretty good champ and hasn't had any drama outside of the UFC like a lot of other belt holders. I do wonder sometimes if Conor had been able to stay at 145 (yeah I know the cut was taking years off his life but just say he was able to somehow) would he be still be in top of the division. I know he got his 50mil from boxing, but I would have liked to see his evolution in MMA only. Watching chimaev and O'Malley and even Usman and other 'next gen' fighters all start green and just grow into themselves has been a real pleasure as a fighting fan. Colby would be the antithesis of that pleasure for a counter example. Usman's 2 years older than Conor lol, edit: eh...well, 1 year and 2 months, just the birthdays line such that one's 34 and the other 32 right now.

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 Nierbo posted:Here's an hour of stuff on Diego and Fabia if you want some background noise and holy loving poo poo.

Has this card not fallen apart yet? I'll try to have the goonweight form up as soon as the weigh ins make it clear that nobody on the main is missing. I don't mean missing weight, I mean literally missing.

kimbo305 posted:Serious question -- does Kadyrov have that kind of threaten your family influence in Dagestan? What's the general political cohesion with Chechnya? The threats aren't really political in nature, keep in mind that all these republics are just part of Russia, there's complete freedom to travel, Makhachkala is 3 hours away from Grozny...think of it like someone going from NYC to Baltimore. Southpaugh posted:Or he could be cool like Zabit? What makes you think he's any less or more cool than Khabib? I mean sure he's probably more fun to watch fight, and he's got silly hair and he looks like Lincoln, but I suspect a lot of his good impression is just that he keeps his mouth shut. It's possible that sending him to a kung fu boarding school or whatever did somewhat protect him from getting too deep in their traditions but somehow I doubt it. Though if there are interviews out there showing him express progressive opinions I'd love to see them, maybe I'm just uninformed. Marching Powder posted:*borat voice* in dagestan is custom to offer bmw car to kill pornographic star wawaweewa It's not, which is why he didn't do that, but some random troll on the internet using his picture did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzqejJIAVvs

kimbo305 posted:My question was toward why Khabib might choose to hang out or avoid Kadyrov. If the three hours' proximity somehow obligates him to pay tribute in any sense. Yeah, my understanding is that Dagestan's leader keeps changing and is usually some random Putin-installed puppet, so Kadyrov kind of becomes de facto cultural leader in the region. It's possible that if Kadyrov asks Khabib to hang out, Khabib can just say no and nothing bad will happen, it's also possible that something really bad happens. Hell, I can totally see a situation where Kadyrov might not give a gently caress but public perception gets formed that Khabib pissed him off and got on his bad side, and some random rear end in a top hat could take things in to their own hands in an attempt to gain influence(money) for themselves. That's some literal Russian roulette though.

If you're kneeling in front of your opponent and their limbs are free enough that they can choose to punch or kick you in the head, and just one of those happens to be against the rules, you're losing the fight pretty bad. Like, what's the plan here?

Flaskraven posted:If you rewatch the fight, a similar thing happens in the third round (I think). There Yan relieves pressure on the head, so Aljo starts standing up and Yan knees him in the head on the way up. It looked like Yan was trying to do it again, but Aljo was too tired to stand up quickly. Stupid move, but it looks like he had a plan. Wait you seem to be saying Yan had a plan, I was talking about Aljo there, I mean obviously theoretically he'd like to stand up, but he was in that position for like 5 seconds and seemed to be doing completely nothing. He seemed too tired to stand up...at all, not just quickly. https://i.imgur.com/CXgjxmm.mp4 Yeah maybe if he doesn't get kneed there Aljo eats a punch on the way up, stands up, the round ends, but then what? I dunno, obviously it's MMA and anything can happen, but it seemed pretty clear what was going to happen this time.
