Holy poo poo that looks terrible. This could be a crossroads for him career wise.

Looks like it could just be knuckles which should heal no problem

E: apparently he got a 180 day so maybe more serious actually?

I think the bigger problem is that he's fought 4 times in 5 years in a rapidly evolving sport.

The post a few months back proclaiming that Paddy--clearly not a top 15 level talent--was better than Conor McGregor ever was remains one of the most eyebrow-raising takes I've seen

I refuse to believe that this exists

Imo it's not OK for analysis and opinion to have a conflict of interest either

I mean it's sports, not like the UN, but I won't listen to anyone that pays the subjects they cover

It's strange that fightnight doesn't have a talk show, but I gather it's because of the ESPN deal

I assume every athlete just buys a few questionable supplements in case they pop for something.

COMBINED UFC/B-LEAGUE THREADS: Last year's big change was combining the threads. Twelve months later, y'all still good with this or should we split them back up?

It's way better now imo

CarlCX posted:

COMBINED UFC/B-LEAGUE GDTS: This summer we started doing catch-all GDTs when weeks or weekends had events across multiple promotions. Has that been working for people, or should we go back to separate GDTs?

I could go either way on this, I tend to get lost during busy weeks but that could just be a me problem. I do like the additional comments though.

MY ENDLESS WORD VOMIT: At the start of the year my breakdowns were ~2500 words and OPs had maybe two or three line items, and both have gradually expanded. Have we reached a point where the length of OPs and writeups is more annoying than interesting?

I like the write-ups but please don't pressure yourself to spend excessive time on this.

Maybe splitting the write-up into a couple posts for main card and prelims would help my ADHD brain but idk if anyone else would like this.

I like the crazy long write ups, but can we get a ban on quoting them in full? Reading this thread involves so much scrolling I feel like I miss content.

I agree

I love how he pretends that it's somehow his responsibility to decide what the meaning of effective grappling is lmao

quote:

Successful execution of takedowns, submission attempts, reversals and the achievement of advantageous positions that produce immediate or cumulative impact with the potential to contribute to the end of the match, with the IMMEDIATE weighing more heavily than the cumulative impact. It shall be noted that a successful takedown is not merely a changing of position, but the establishment of an attack from the use of the takedown. Top and bottom position fighters are assessed more on the impactful/effective result of their actions, more so than their position.
