genuinely surprised that makdessi is still around

Yeah, he's only been fighting once a year since 2018 but he had a pretty clean victory against a young prospect (Bahamondes) in 2021, but father time catches up to everyone so disaster is likely imminent, if not tonight then in the next couple years. Who knows though, maybe fighting once a year lets him have a bit more longevity.

I don't remember seeing such a defeated "I'm not good enough to be here" look in a while, maybe since that one dude who quit on the stool (or tried to and his coach wouldn't let him?), anyone remember who I'm thinking of?

you know normally I'd say that's an incredibly fast way to burn a bridge but honestly I don't think the UFC cares anymore

Someone still seems to care, I'm pretty sure there was someone in DC's ear that was like "cut the interview right now", but actually as I'm typing this I realize what time it is so maybe they just ran out of time.

so funny story:
https://twitter.com/tyronemartian/status/1700660350209716570
I went to check and there is absolutely a video on fight pass for Brian Radtke vs Shawn Sullivan where what looks an awful lot like Charlie Radtke keeps punching a dude while actively yanking his arm out away from the ref's grip to do it.

Imagine having to fight under a completely different name to get away from your own idiot behavior and you make it to the UFC and the first thing you do is drop homophobic slurs on an international broadcast.

Not that I'm in a hurry to defend him but is it definitely the same guy? My main reason for being unsure is that Tapology lists both of them as fighting different opponents on XFO 46, would be extra weird if he just fought twice in one night under two different names.

Edit: Though I guess Sullivan doesn't show up on either one of their records, so maybe both guys actually exist but this was still Charles fighting under Brian's name.I'd check it out myself but fightpass doesn't let you load up more than one thing at a time and I'm watching these prelims on there so :shrug:.

I get that some of it is trying to be sensitive to an injured fighter, but the way the commentators treat all injuries as freak accidents rankles me. "I know this isn't how you wanted to win" you know what, gently caress you, I did a regular technique that put me at no risk whatsoever and it broke my opponent's poo poo, and the optimal scenario is I was going to give him a violent loving concussion anyway so this might actually be long-term better. This is if anything the ideal way for me to win.

Yeah it's kinda weird, maybe understandable in situations where the opponent just took a weird step and their ankle broke or something, but this wasn't really that kind of situation.
