at least in that fight both guys were dying of exhaustion and unable to harm each other, just themselves. instead of one guy being a legit prospect and one guy being a schlub like in the BKFC death.

And I don't even mean that in a 'this is a backhanded compliment that exists to make me seem wiser and more caring by comparison' sort of way. I don't think a single thing about my life has been improved by knowing Henry Cejudo's a weirdo bigot, nor does it do a thing for anyone reading this to have it restated. tbh i have no idea how anyone watches this sport without being able to switch it off, nearly everyone involved in mma (and combat sports in general) is a deranged hateful lunatic. if you get lucky your favourite fighter's derangement is just profoundly strange and not venomous (machida #1 nice boy #1 piss drinker)

CarlCX posted:I feel like the UFC's starting to get to the point where the ability to turn it off is starting to feel just as weird as my leaving it on all the time has always felt to me. Dana White uses the press conferences to talk about how bad being woke is, Holly Holm wins a fight and goes on about the groomer problem, Jon Anik randomly shouts out Ron DeSantis on commentary, the UFC takes time out of its broadcast to hold a Donald Trump party and every subsequent fighter grovels at him, I dunno, man. It used to just be 'are you the kind of person who isn't so online to know/doesn't care that Bryce Mitchell thinks the Earth is flat' but the programming itself is more and more often used as a platform to talk about this poo poo and it seems like switching it off must be harder than ever. yeah i agree, though i've just tuned everything other than the fights out and not being american probably helps because i usually just watch the fights on sunday morning and fast forward through everything that's not a fight and watch nothing else, i stopped going on twitter because it just makes me mad, and idk who ron desantis is (deranged republican politican/news guy/influencer/christian genocidal bigot, at least 2 out of these, i'm guessing). CarlCX posted:vibe-check MMA writing is good MMA writing but I've also been concerned about mighty mouse being all 'ehh, maybe i'll retire' right before a fight with a dude what knocked him out i think dj is just an extremely chill guy. after he lost to cejudo in a razor close fight on his xxth title defence he was completely unbothered and said 'good fight, what are you gonna do'. the first two moraes fights were really good, both of them perfect examples of why knees on the ground should be legal, so i'm sure this one will be wild.
