Cortez was going for her 5th straight in the UFC right? Kinda surprised she hasn't been thrown into title contention given that streak already.

The other issue is Moreno has a fight booked a little over a month from now to unify the belts with Diveson. That's loving rough to have to change champs on such short notice. His whole life would be around that gym. I get why the UFC has to do it because the interest it garners from gambling alone is massive but still. Just brutal for a fighter with the dumbest nickname in combat sports. forkboy84 posted:They should look into the UFC President's own history with sports gambling next AFAIK he just bets on boxing and counts cards but ooo boy there's a lot here that could come out. I know Rogan used to bet on fights and give his friends betting advice but stopped a long time ago, but that temptation would be tough if you were around the UFC and you heard someone was carrying an injury or had a horrible weight cut etc.

Staph is incredibly lovely to get but if the drugs start to work you turn around super fast. gently caress it's exhausting though when you have it.

kimbo305 posted:It’s hard for me to get into the mind of an idiot, but i think it’d be weird for Rogan to put it out there if he had talked to Conor directly about it. I assume it’s drawing the obvious conclusion like he did with Liver King. It was just in the context of the whole liver king fiasco and fitness influencers etc in general. Derek from more plates more dates brought it up and they discussed what someone would use to recover as fast as they could from an injury. Tbh Conors physique doesn't look outside the realm of normalcy for an elite athlete just spending hours in the gym every day focussing on strength but ahit he probably juiced. You've got hundreds of millions of dollars and access to the right doctors and you're not going to be tested. Not to be all if you ain't cheating you ain't trying but I mean... who wouldn't?

The foots fine imo. Seen worse after people cop elbows. Spicy dumb twitter stuff is kinda a bane on the forums.

Paddy has been getting punched in the head for money for 10 years. He's not going to be splitting the atom anytime soon. In a perfect world they'd all be smart enough to put the right people around them to build their brand without them needing to do much of anything. For 99% of GSPs career I couldn't have told you his opinions on anything except dinosaurs and women (of course). I try to just enjoy fights for the fights and celebrate the cool people and generally ignore the dickheads. Because in a sport full of dudes who kinda skipped education, come from working class backgrounds from far flung corners of the globe you're not exactly going to get a nuanced opinions on a lot of things.

Bucky Fullminster posted:Education and socio-economic background have nothing to do with making poo poo up to assassinate someone's character, and telling the truth is not splitting the atom. It has a whole lot to do with why you'd make poo poo up and lie and think you can get away with it. Speaking of people who make poo poo up for a living. Mike Dolce has been a whole lot quieter since Liver King got exposed. Probably dodging the need to post a blood test result.

TheKingslayer posted:USADA has a whole resource for reducing risk on buying supplements but there's no telling if the athletes are even aware or care to use it. Of course it can be debated how useful the resource itself is I'm sure. I thought there was an app now where you could myfitness pal style scan your supps?

Marching Powder posted:wow. conor must have tortured him or something. with cameras rolling artem's response to being completely emasculated by khabib was to poo poo his pants so god knows what conor had to do for him to take the offensive like this. To be fair to Artem, if Khabib was mad at me I'd poo poo myself too. poo poo man, I own guns and even if I was holding one I'd probably still be prairie doggin.

COMBINED UFC/B-LEAGUE THREADS: I wasn't a fan of this at first, but I actually quite enjoyed it because it gave me a reason to go back and watch some smaller orgs I might not have bothered to keep up with when parsing a thread. I haven't had any moments reading the combined ones where I've been bothered in the least by it. COMBINED UFC/B-LEAGUE GDTS: Same as above MY ENDLESS WORD VOMIT: I like to read them on my lunch breaks or break between gym and work, or if its on a weekend with my morning coffee while I wait for the card to start. I quite enjoy your write ups. If you're struggling with the effort and time it takes I would think there's probably some fights you could write a short couple of sentences with and save the deeper dives for the more important fights, even if they're fights you feel are more important. Your interest and passion shines through, so I'd hate to see that die off through burn out. OKAY, BUT HOW ARE YOU DOING: ye good mate kimbo305 posted:Wrt thread overlaps, I wanted to bring up Not to defend shields in any way, but I honestly don't think Danaher thinks for more than 5 minutes about anything other than martial arts. The dude didn't even have a couch or TV in his house for a long time, he had a bed and grappling mats and would eat acai bowls watching jiu jitsu on his mats of a night. CommonShore posted:Imo the containment thread's function isn't so much to keep the news about fighters all positive, but rather to prevent the lovely news about fighters and associated derails from making the main thread into a bummer battleground. If we had posts here every time Jake Shields was terrible, we might as well rename it to be the Jake Shields thread. Not even Jake Shields deserves that fate. I think if someone has a full on meltdown that affects their standing in their org it's probably newsworthy, if someone doesn't vote the way people think they should I don't really care to hear a three page derail about it when I want to discuss in cage stuff. Bucky Fullminster posted:Can they not find someone else for Whittaker to fight in Perth? Honestly? Probably not. It's 7 weeks away and here's your current top 10 Israel - out Pereira - out Whittaker - Cannonier - just fought Vettori - Booked Brunson - Injured Costa - welp Strickland - just fought Dolidze - Booked Hermannson - Just got knocked out like 2 weeks ago Du Plessis - just fought Plus I would imagine anyone that's not locked into a fight camp already would be 100% in holiday mode being fat and happy and not likely to want to do a full training camp in 7 weeks somehow and drag their training partners and coaches away from their families to face the hardest match up not named Adesanya in the division.

Brut posted:I'm just saying it doesn't seem like this has been an actual issue in the MMA threads, I haven't seen people telling others to take it to that thread (maybe like once), and I don't think I've seen reports about it either. I don't really have a strong personal opinion on the matter though since I'm gonna end up reading that poo poo anyway. It tends to slop over into other threads though. People get weird and abusive over their little ideological tendencies. Its not a problem for the most part but it can become one pretty quick. It's a cancer in a lot of forums.

Apparently early bjj allowed slaps and they took it out and went the more like wrestling/judo/oly sports route only for Eddie bravo to bring it back a couple years ago.
