I'm glad I'm not the only person who only recognized Shane Burgos' name.

after the commentary on the UFC card last night - what are the odds that Bisping and Cruz ever work together again?

I didn't watch. Was there another fight between them on air?

I think that Paul didn't really do as well as a boxer up two mma weight classes over a guy should. I wish I could see Jake vs Nick Diaz from 10 years ago instead. Nick is actually his size and would have hosed him up while talking poo poo to him. Nate, on the other hand, just clowned and boxed his ears up pretty good. He did better than I expected after the rd1 knockdown and actually had Paul in trouble in places, but I don't think the outcome of the fight was ever in question considering the sheer size difference.

Jake should fight Mike Perry next. Not because he's the right size, but just because the bareknuckle match with rockhold was awesome, and I think that match would have a hilarious outcome either way.

Yeah. If Paul is boxing Danis just what the gently caress is going on? Who would sanction that match?

Yeah, I don't think anyone's arguing that O'Malley is a bad person because the UFC is promoting him, or because he won a split decision that he shouldn't have. There's a strong argument to be made though that the UFC is promoting him because he's a bad person(see one post up^), because they want a new Conor, who is, not at all coincidentally, also a bad person.

There's a simpler explanation. Dana loves people who kiss his rear end, and Conor and O'Malley both play that game very well. If you kiss Dana White's rear end enough, he'll give you a quarter million for a random gift. If you don't kiss his rear end enough, you get zero promotion and cut regardless of how skilled you actually are.

What has O'Malley's pay been like? That could be another example of DWP.

The discussion about suplexes in the feedback thread got me down a rabbit hole. I stumbled across this video and had to share.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEJxVOL5Qy8

The full fight is available if you want to watch this spread out over fifteen minutes. IIRC, Trujillo talked some trash in the leadup to the fight saying that he was a college wrestler for four years and that Khabib couldn't outwrestle him. Khabib, in turn, didn't really even try to fight him. He just ragdolls him for almost fifteen minutes straight. He even gets two more takedowns in the last 10 seconds of the fight just to hammer down who is the better wrestler.
