That's actually worked quite well for Nate himself. Getting knocked out by Thompson didn't count because Thompson was making bitch rear end lady sounds.

I absolutely love how this makes the loss less humiliating using the Diaz rubrik

As much as I want Nate to win Jake is probably close to legit because he has infinite money and time to spend on training and from all accounts takes it seriously. Nate's boxing isn't going to translate well to bigger gloves. It's going to be, at best, boring as hell, and Jake will probably win by decision.

i'm trying to remember a diaz fight on the feet that was boring.

Alright I'll defer to goons, was it exciting like you guys said it would be, or boring like I thought it would be? I'll watch it later, maybe.

i doubt your mind will be changed based on this fight so no

derrick lewis's last performance was all-time. i'm so glad i tuned in to see that. he is a fantastic fight fan's fighter. previous to this his high water mark was a million fights ago back in 2018 where alexander volkov beat the poo poo out of lewis for 2.9 rounds before lewis shut his lights out in the closing seconds. and he had the decency to lose to mark hunt. 10/10 no notes.

Taktarov used to be my favourite fighter when I rented early ufc on tape as a child in the 90s. This is very sad.

writing about mma events-to-come lets you enjoy an aspect of betting on mma without betting on mma.

At one point I had plans to write an MMA blog. I wrote up my predictions for the Whittaker/Brunson card (Whittaker's middleweight debut) as a practice article, to get my eye in. I got literally every fight wrong and abandoned the idea, preferring private embarassment to public.

if you could achieve that level of incompetence consistently, I would follow your blog religiously and sleep in money.

Predictions in sport is always hard. It's why we watch it as much as anything. I never judge anyone too badly for taking a stance rather than getting splinters in their rear end going "oh well maybe if this then this" kinda bullshit.

I actually quite enjoy the way sometimes I completely disagree with someone elses prediction because it's kinda fun to be proven wrong like I was when Pantera won the title.

my current avatar is probably my favourite because it reminds me constantly that taking strong stances is rad and it entertains people whether you're extremely wrong (me) or extremely right (jase, rip).

Clipped the end of the Max x TKZ fight when Zombie is wrapping up and walking out of the cage for the last time:

The crowd picking up the chorus of the song as he walks out the door and gets the spotlight is incredible. It's kinda rare that there's anything cinematic outside the cage, but this one gave me goosebumps.

Longer version: https://streamable.com/3f0n60

thank you so much for this. excuse me while i be emotionally honest for a sec. tkz was one half of my favourite fight of all time until rory / robbie 2 happened. what he and poirier did in there was some of the sickest, most violent, and most desperate displays of brutality i've seen to this day. he won.

watching what volk did to him literally upset me. he looked like he was moving through molasses. why on god's earth they sanctioned a fight with max i'll never know, but i couldn't watch it.

i feel comfortable dropping the sarcasm and irony in this case. as he walked out of the cage and i heard the crowd i didn't feel very alone.
