Nierbo posted:Theyre going to do everything to make sure Bo Nickal rises the ranks and becomes a *star* aren't they? Maybe? I mean matching him up with some completely unknown dude from some unknown organization doesn't exactly accomplish that, and just by the numbers this is a 7-0 dude replacing 4-2 dude so it's possible this matchup is actually less favorable for him.

Ah drat, I was wondering why I had no idea wtf Combat Night Pro is, guess that explains it. Looking forward to the writeup tomorrow, thanks as always Carl!

Short notice 185 dude made weight and seems happy to be there. Win or lose they should match him up with Deron Winn at some point, smallest middleweight fight in history (open to being proven wrong by MMA historians ITT)

Everyone else also made weight, except for Jalin Turner at 158, dude needs to go back to Welterweight, he's too tall.

FishBowlRobot posted:drat that’s a big miss. Let us pray for Dan Hooker’s brain. We've certainly seen much worse than 2 lbs over, I'm not too worried since this is just the fighter being way too tall for the division, rather than way too thick, trust in Blonde Hooker.

Super Deuce posted:I know it's a mistake to do this, but I was curious what Dana was saying in the post fight presser, and he apparently didn't think there was a racial thing with Izzy / Dricus. Interesting way to play it. I could have misinterpreted it but it sounds like he just had no idea what was said in that situation, and when he asked for more details all the reporter got to relay was "Izzy said the n word a bunch" and not anything about the genetics poo poo or essentially the colonization references and poo poo. That being said I suspect that if he had the full information his reaction would not be any different so in conclusion Ringo Roadagain posted:It’s never not a good time to say gently caress dana white

kimbo305 posted:I'm ok with knowing context going into a fight. Carl's previews continue to confront the industry/ landscape in which fighters work, and that lets us be informed fans. As he's shown, it is impossible to separate the sport at this level from the capricious and unsatisfying matchmaking. We're basically always rooting against Dana in every fight and every inconveniencing outcome. I think the objection was not to posts about the fighters (or dana) directly, but something like "here's what the worst bystanders with a blue checkmark said", you know?

moctopus posted:Uncle Creepy could make a case. Yan is 1-4 his last 5. By the numbers maybe, but if you look at the actual fights, yeah his last one was a blowout but Merab is arguably the second best bantamweight on the roster right now, the fight before that was complete bullshit (see attachment), before that it's a relatively close decision loss to the champ, and before that it was a fight he was winning until he lost it for himself in the most hilarious way. Moraes is probably my answer as well.

LobsterMobster posted:TUF update Uh, I've never actually watched TUF other than clips people link here, so I'd like to ask for some context for this. I thought there are individual winners in terms of the fighters in their weight class but this makes it sounds like there's usually some kind of consequence for one or the other team winning, and then further consequence for how much they win by? How does that stuff work?

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:i like hearing about the shithead blue checks and the cultural commentary around MMA. it’s part of the phenomenon of watching it and following it. the main org in MMA is festering with right wing propaganda and loony QAnon poo poo. it is horrifying. sometimes it is also very funny. personally I’d rather take it all in. if seeing it all eventually leads me to watch it less, which it kinda partially has (moreso the endless grim Apex cards), then that’s kinda what should happen, naturally, IMO. DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:if seeing Trump constantly or hearing Strickland be a massive “trolling” moron is bad, I would either call him a moron or stop watching it, but not talking about it on one of the few(only?) places online where most people will agree feels like having our brain damage and, uh, eating it, too? DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:turning a blind eye to part of the thing or not discussing it in the normal course of stuff because you want to watch the other thing seems…I dunno. i’m not trying to criticize people who feel that way but, like, I love a Big Mac. but i don’t ever really eat them anymore because drat they source their meat very unethically. i think that’s kind of what’s supposed to happen.

blue footed boobie posted:Is this spilling over from another thread or something? These posts about Twitter opinions are seeming to come out of nowhere but everyone seems to know what is being talked about. Nah, it started in response to this: Lid posted:I made the mistake if looking elsewhere and Du Plessus is being hailed as a hero because of reverse racism and ignoring literally everything he said up to that point. Izzy was a gently caress too but the overtones of white saviour and Great White Hope are everywhere. Which, in Lid's defense I think firmly falls in to "not pretending they don't exist" and not actually importing the rando's opinions in to here, so the conversation did kind of veer in to the hypothetical at some point rather than what was actually happening.

ilmucche posted:Is it worrying there's noone on that list in their 20s? Is that a normal thing seen in other divisions as well? Depends who you're worried for, but younger people of that size and athletic ability grew up with Google and thus knowing how much UFC pays (or specifically, how much it does not)

Yeah, definitely bit of a fake glove touch there, but personally I think you've got plenty of time to touch gloves before the round actually starts, don't like seeing it during the fight anyway (especially every loving round like some fights)

CarlCX posted:Michel Pereira missed weight by 4 pounds and now the Wonderboy fight might not happen. 3 lbs technically, since it's not a title fight. Also Vinicius Salvador at 128.5 for a Flyweight fight but I have no loving clue who that is and neither does anyone else.

Yo does anyone have any word about UFC's "The Thrill and the Agony" videos? The most recent one I can find on Fightpass is UFC 282, are more recent ones on ESPN+ or anywhere or have they just stopped producing those?
