When he's back on his homestead building a barn 3 days later. i wish we learn enough about gladiators and poo poo to learn what their equivalent of a camouflaged waffle house hat would beo god what a dogshit snipe

the best nice fighter moment was Robbie Lawler fanboying over Carlos Condit after their fight. goddamn that was such a good fight.

BlindSite posted:I know the 2 African fighters living in America and the third living in NZ who held or were holding belts got angry with him when he said he wanted to be the first "true" African champion but has he actually said or done anything I missed that puts him up there with Strickland? No it’s pretty much just the Afrikaner guy repeatedly dismissing the African identity of black people born in Africa, though he eventually walked it back a little and said that’s not what he meant (it absolutely was). Strickland is definitely way worse, but DDP wielding his colonial privilege as a bludgeon is still bad.

So, no one else is having trouble reading DDP as Diamond Dallas Page or even Dustin Diamond Poirier.

BlindSite posted:Fwiw the UFC does brief their fighters on stuff not to say and not to curse etc but Strickland is mad as a cut snake and he's going to do it anyway. ya. kinda curious how many days/months/years we are from someone doing the Strickland routine with the n-word or any other racial slur. gotta figure a second Trump term does it. still at this very moment I would like someone very much to ask Dana what his response would be if that was a racial slur instead of a homophobic one.

Before the weekend, I didn’t know where Shavkat was training. I was like, how does some dude from Kazakhstan have enough high quality training partners out there? But — there is one thing that might be the next greatest base for mma https://www.threads.net/@lukethomasnews/post/C0vK8FnMD2-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Nice fighter moment. Robbie Lawler being genuinely concerned and offering any support he could give Nick Diaz after their fight.

"George getting his poo poo pampered." I remember that because at one point George realises Nick is actually just kinda dumb and came from a poo poo home and has no idea what he's doing outside of a ring.

lmao i remembered the Lodi quote, but forgot it was in the GSP presser Nick Diaz posted:Check this out, motherf-----. I pulled up to a stoplight the other day, and some f---ing 40-year-old lady, some soccer mom, sticks her head out the window and says, ‘I hope GSP beats your rear end.’ We’re in f---ing Lodi, b----. Are you serious? I’m living in a small town full of people who hate me over here. I’m trying to work my way up into a fight, and I’m the most disrespectful guy and deserve to have the s--- beat out of me?

My prevailing memory from all of that isn't even the pre-fight press, but the post-fight, where Diaz accused GSP of cheating and planting a spy in his camp because that's the only way he could have expected Diaz to roll for kneebars from the bottom.

I'm not going to say I've done any actual analysis on the veracity of that poll, but I am going to say any poll that says 50% of the audience for the WNBA identifies is conservative seems real off to me. update: having now actually looked into it, that pollster is run by Mark "I Was Hillary Clinton's Poll Manager And Told Her She Would Win In A Blue-Texas Landslide And Then I Consulted For Donald Trump And Decried The Deep State Conspiracy To Depose Him" Penn, so CarlCX fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Dec 21, 2023 |

Formula 1 in the US swings very young as well because the core audience came from the Netflix reality show initially and sub30 America is definitely not 55% conservative
