Oh, I like the smell of my own dumps.
Jessica Eye’s walkout vs Valentina + her name + her nickname made her seem like a randomly generated video game opponent late in career mode.

IN THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS, THE ENTRY FOR THE shortest correspondence belongs to the French author Victor Hugo and his publisher. After finishing Les Misérables, the exhausted writer delivered the manuscript to the publisher and left on vacation. But Hugo worried about the book’s reception, and so he wrote his publisher a very short note, which said:

The publisher sent back an equally short note that, to Hugo’s delight, read:

It's apocryphal but still in the book of world records.

I really thought that was going to be a picture of the hat she wore during the walkout that was hysterically crooked to look tough in 2002.

This was a fight where I really thought I just watched someone die. I remember it being so brutal it was just mostly shock in the commentators/audience instead of a lot of cheering. Then Valentina did her nerd dance while I suspect even she was a little unnerved during it

Anyone else find the 300 trailer really funny? Pretending Khabib Tony was real, lazy editing, pretending half of the most noticeable highlights happened in the last year. But the weirdest thing to me was the pacing of showing exactly two of everything: two headkicks, two punches, two fist bumps, etc.

That video is one of the holy grails of lost forum content. I don't think it's been online for years, so at this point we need someone who does with youtube what people did with VCRs and TV shows in the mid-90s if we want to see it again.

Also, Cynthia Calvillo missed weight by two pounds, Melissa Mullins and Nora Cornolle both missed weight by 3 and 3.5 pounds, and Alexander Hernandez came in for a Featherweight fight at 150.

All i will forever know about this guy was he is he talked massive poo poo to cowboy cerone for being old during every press conference and then got headkick ko'd into the upper deck. I don't think I've ever seen a finer example of poo poo talking gone wrong

It had Naoya Ogawa walking toward the camera on a street, singing a song, with some lyric like "Hassuru, hassuru, minja na de"

So I'm guessing the new testing firm means he's back on his first fail rather than life ban.

He was looking fat as hell when he was out in Australia recently. Even if he's signed to fight soon he's a long way from ready.

It's May 2012 and Jon Jones is arrested for DUI
It's January 2015 and Jon Jones failed a drug test
It's April 2015 and Jon Jones hit a pregnant woman with his car
It's September 2021 and Jon Jones is in trouble for a domestic incident
It's March 2024 and Jon Jones is drunk at 11am and threatening to kill piss collectors

Yes, but they started a new one after that, it's exactly as prestigious as the current interim title.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Jon Jones is the last thing in this horrible sport who brings me pure joy.

oh sure. and i think the interim belt is more prestigious than jon's belt he got from taking gane to his first free trial grappling class. i think aspinall is pretty cool and jon is scared as hell of him.

At risk of being a cynic, being as this is all being done in-house now and thus the UFC does not have to worry about maintaining a healthy relationship with another organization and its employees and Jon Jones only THREATENED to drunkenly murder a piss collector, I would be stunned if the UFC mentions it let alone punishes him even remotely.
