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).
I actually don’t know what that Rogan reaction is from, but someone spliced it with Costa’s nut shot on Rockhold and I can’t imagine anything else.

 Threads was the number-one social media app until day 2 when everyone realized it sucks.

 Part of me is curious how they structured the in-app purchases.

Now it's all about bluesky, which is going to be equally as poo poo. Wasn't there already one that crashed and burned because they said they weren't going to stifle antisemitism?
You’ll have to be much more specific.

O'Malley couldn't even back up Kalib Starnes if he had a pitchfork and a gun.
O’Malley is bad box art for a mid-90’s Build engine FPS

gently caress the UFC but also Khabib was pre Rebook deal? My sense of the timeline is all hosed up.
Pre-Venum, I think. Reebok came around in... 2015?

 Mike Perry seems like the kinda guy who would pay $10 for the orange flavour of Prime.

 I’m surprised Muay Thai with 4oz gloves doesn’t start looking more like Karate, but maybe there are rules I’ve forgotten…?

Clinch rules mean you always have the closer range to work in. I don't really see much karate competition, but even in Kyokushin, they don't seem to get time to work indefinitely in the clinch.

I've hardly seen any continuous rules competition that allows punches to the head.

I think largely it's just the background of the competitors. They're used to damage over cleanness of strikes as scoring criteria, so can't adjust their style overnight.
All good points. I confess I was bored into leaving early when I last watched Pan-Am level Shotokan (not to mention the lady in the stands repeatedly screaming VENEZUELAAAAAAA even when neither athlete was from there). Plus Muay Thai has fouls for a bunch of the good takedowns / sweeps iirc.
