Apparently Dana owns Nitro Circus with Lorenzo? And some skate league. "Thrill One" or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=live?g16Y1vYkdsY&t=1570s And power slap is "number one in all of sports", with better numbers than basically all other sports combined.

It seems weird to me that goons hate on Cejudo for being a socially awkward guy that makes up for it with cringe worthy attempts at comedy.

For anyone who doesn't click through, he didn't so much just get drunk and flip his truck, which would already be bad enough, as he got drunk and flipped his truck after wrecking it smashing the poo poo out of two parked cars and then refused a sobriety test. Dude needs help, but that's been true for a long time about a number of things.blue footed boobie posted:It seems weird to me that goons hate on Cejudo for being a socially awkward guy that makes up for it with cringe worthy attempts at comedy. I mean, I don't hate him for being socially awkward and trying to make up for it with a cringe persona, I hate him for using his cringe persona to paper over poo poo like this. quote:“My dad wasn’t the best human,” Cejudo said at a Latinos for Trump rally in South Phoenix Wednesday. “He came to this country as a foreigner, broke the law, and was deported."

beep by grandpa posted:There is a big difference between being sincere and charming in one's awkwardness and straight up cringe/unappealing. Like many of us have said already, Cejudo became significantly more tolerable once he showed self awareness and leaned into it. That woman beside him looks extremely sick of his poo poo.

I think that's just the general awkwardness of appearing on camera when its focused on the person next to you. Like being next to a kiss cam couple. UFC 288 was... alright? It always sucks when the entertainment value of the main and co-main fights just isn't there. I love me some Gilbert Burns, and it sucks that the fight was lost with a shoulder injury and had to go on for another 4 rounds. Cejudo and Sterling was lackluster. I don't bemoan either their game plan or performance, it just wasn't exciting to watch. Andrade/Xiaonan was fantastic. The prelims and early card had a few bangers too. Now I rely on One to get me through the rest of May. Please just let Rodtang fight every Friday, I don't care who you put in front of him.

It's wild that we only have three MMA events for the entire rest of the month and one of them, which is 13 days away, has no main event.

Of course we have Friday Fights, the true A-show and the only thing you should make sure you watch. This week's two fights on the poster are: E.T. (81-38) vs. Kongthoranee (61-15) (132) Yodphupa (62-9) vs. Andrey Khromov (147)

Just finished watching the card and it occurred to me that apart from Islam, Volk and Moreno, all the UFC men's champions are really loving lanky. Jones, Hill, Adesanya, Edwards, and Sterling are all very tall and range-y for their weight classes, despite pretty substantial differences in how they make that work for them (pressuring vs countering, striking vs wrestling).

Don Frye was doing the dumb 'men aren't men anymore/pussified society' schtick back in like 2005, that boat sailed a long time ago. Mostly I'm just glad he's alive, dude was having a pretty bad time not too long ago.

Hey, good news, they've got Arman Tsarukyan back on the schedule! It's against a guy who's only fought three times since 2019 and got his poo poo hosed up by Nasrat Haqparast and is nowhere even remotely close to a ranking. https://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN/status/1655989557857509376 When Brett loving Okamoto is subtly signaling that your matchmaking is bad.
