Yeah someone so involved with sportswashing crying about supposed political bias when his doesn't get a belt is pretty comically pathetic.

DoombatINC posted:It was just a really unimpressive performance and most onlookers agreed he'd lost, when the judges handed him the decision it was met with a lot of grumbles - that would be enough to take a little shine off the big PPV debut, but him boasting during the interview and strutting around on a hugely unearned ego trip took it from a contentious win to a public embarrassment Sort of like when Rose went "I'M THE loving BEST" in her rematch with Carla which she very clearly lost a boring lovely fight.

CarlCX posted:Yeah, like, Paddy Pimblett is a dumb rear end in a top hat, but he's made the conscious choice to be a dumb rear end in a top hat. He's long since committed wholesale to the Conor-lite thing, it's not like he can dial it back now. He's going to ride it without ever deviating right up until the moment someone completely breaks his poo poo, and I can only hope that it is Ilia Topuria. I just want an entertaining fighter who also does good food/cooking related stuff. Paddy could've easily been the Man vs Food MMA variant. At least we have Cookin' with Volk.

butros posted:Leech cooking for his family and the camera crew on the last Embedded he was on I would absolutely love to see Leech doing a cooking show/video series showing off the stuff he makes back home so he can build up his English/non-Chinese speaking audience. His eye-poking poo poo was bad, but he has really redeemed himself in a few ways in terms of coming off as a nice guy.

mister posted:At first I thought Paddy had a bit of a point under all the shittiness. I mean calling Ariel dog whistle anti-semitic names is super lovely, and he's done similar things often enough that he shouldn't get the benefit of the doubt, but asking for appearance fees isn't unreasonable. Ariel is getting paid for these podcasts so why shouldn't the fighters get compensated for their time? They get paid little enough as it is and you can't pay rent in exposure. Iirc, part of this came out that Paddy was being paid by Howler Head or someone's stuff to do appearances and it's somehow linked to being owned by Dana White. Basically was something related to Dana either way but not in a "this is to gently caress with Ariel" kind of way.

kimbo305 posted:I feel like the mma media has taken it easy on him for this stuff, but I also hope they don’t dig anything up on Meatball The Howler Head thing I heard on Jack Slacks post 282 podcast and it was the first time the Dana White connection to Howler Head ever crossed my path. Edit - this is about HH doing NASCAR sponsorship and Dana is listed as the co-founder https://whiskeyraiders.com/bourbon/ufc-dana-white-howler-head-banana-bourbon-expansion/ https://whiskeyraiders.com/american/ufc-dana-white-howler-head-whiskey-ross-chastain-nascar-sponsorship/ Just so happens to be a sponsor for the UFC and has used Paddy in the past for promotion/marketing.

CommonShore posted:Bobby Green's test failure that resulted in a 6 month USADA suspension was from tainted supplements. His explanation was that he knew that it was not safe to buy supplements from GNC so he went to Walmart instead. Lol. I like how this still a thing that keeps happening and yet nothing really is done to resolve it.

CarlCX posted:I went back to do some curiously obsessive numbercrunching now that the breakdowns for 2022 are finally over, and I wanted to share and also say a thing before I descend fully into an irony coma for the remainder of the year. Thank you for doing all of those writeups and taking over the thread OPs when I got burnt out last year and had lost all real interest in doing that sort of stuff anymore. I really do think your writeups are the best (sans some of the more gimmicky monthly ones a few people did ages ago).

Most, if not all, the fighters who go to Dagestan to pal with Kadyrov are managed by Ali Abdulaziz iirc.

CommonShore posted:
This. The grappling thread was mostly for technique discussion purposes. It became an all encompassing thread for combat sports mostly for the same reason. There's no intent to hide away someone's views but those sort of topics easily derail threads etc and nobody sane really cared or had an issue when the thread was created. It's meant to be a place for mocking and laughing at idiot fighters posting about non-fight related poo poo on social media is all.

mariooncrack posted:The alt-right has been using MMA to recruit. Karim Zidan has written tons of articles about it. I mean, Kadyrov's son was in a fixed MMA match recently with Khamzat in his corner. So yeah, it's a pretty strong tool at least in that corner of the world where they're murdering minorities to "keep the sanctity of the state clean" or whatever bullshit reason they use to justify it.

It'll be live on FiteTV with a VPN from what I saw Grabaka_Hitman say. Other than that, Showtime does a tape delay.

Bluedeanie posted:Didn't Izzy get arrested at an airport for trying to bring brass knuckles on a plane this year? I presume that's what this is from. It was that. A fan in NYC gave him a pair after they took a photo etc, he tossed it into his carry on not realizing its a big no no to have them in New York and was caught at the airport.

kimbo305 posted:And not some elliptical support of Tate, right? Which i think was Freudian slippers’ question. He maybe said something about Tate but nothing ever really made the big news rounds AFAIK. Tate fought in some C tier Euro org started by the guy who helped start "It's Showtime" before that collapsed and was bought out, so maybe he knew of him but they weren't the same weight class or anything.
