Au contraire mon frere https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1693146355236306976.html Looks like he still took down some of the training camp vids that were approved after the fact. Is he also the oz13msx2mercurius in a lot of the embedded vids? From how he was using the 3rd person, makes it seem like there was a lot of scouting in place already that he was consulting on.

Looks like oz13msx2mercurius is meant to be a private shared repo of scouting content for her team specifically, which seems laughably but expectedly poor opsec. That account's bio mentions analysis by @phm_thief96, which afaict, renamed to this account: https://www.instagram.com/boringbreakdowns/ I don't have a broad view of how many camps spend this much effort with studying film. They absolutely should, but outside of tidbits revealed here and there, there's no real visibility into it. I do feel that it's much less structured and integral compared to other elite tier sports, probably cuz there's no money in it for the staff

BlindSite posted:A poet known for writing romances is his name sake. quote: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: It's apocryphal but still in the book of world records.

Not much in the way of shaping still, nor knuckle padding. I wonder if some strikers might prefer a model with stiffer wrist and different pad distribution. Presumably an AC would be ok with different models since that’s the norm for boxing and kickboxing. Honestly can’t tell if Anik actually read that or if they used AI to capture his voice.

Really minor note -- Zhang Weili's translator was pretty good, and/though she took a small liberty with Weili's Chinese tourism board promo at the end -- Weili said "China has 56 ethnic groups," which is a classic communist party line about the diverse background of the nation unifying under communism, though most people don't think of it that deeply. Nevertheless, it is a bit political, especially since Uyghurs are in that list. The translator decided to sub in "China has great food," which was good thinking on her feet.

CarlCX posted:That event ruled rear end and I wish so very much that they would put in anything close to that level of effort more often. Stacking a card raises the odds of something amazing happening, but Max reprising his stand and bang closeout and actually capping the fight off with the ko is cinema beyond calculation. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Apr 14, 2024 |

Foul Fowl posted:the back kick counter to gaethje's hunchback defense came out like a half dozen times and worked every time. the way he lulled gaethje into thinking they were back to having a fencing match before rocking him with a two punch combo, like four or five times in the fight. good stuff. it was a great scout on JG's tendencies, and I'm surprised how readily he could be baited into ducking with no real feint before the spin. The last few times Max threw it were pretty ineffective but still enough to break JG's advance. Overall, Max was lucky he had the pain endurance for the leg kicks, but clear of that, had such perfect footwork and balance at all times, throwing in shits to the body and getting off line. He outclassed JG's good but not great punching pretty much from the get-go, getting the timing down enough to score singles and then combos as the rounds wore on.

RedSky posted:Welp, I was very wrong about the gaethje Max match up. What was up with gaethjes left? leg He rolled his foot several times early on in the fight. It definitely seemed compromised to me, with some stumbles coming from that and not from getting punched. Classic case of commentators zeroed in on other things. Super Deuce posted:But how is helping her come to a question if it's as simple as that? It should just be a thing you're meant to do. It being a question is the issue. It should either be something you'd just do no questions, or not be allowed. NSAC is pretty serious as far as ACs go, and I feel like there's a good chance they would have investigated after the fight. Would love to hear confirmation/denial from NSAC. Obviously a savvy cutman would be able to ditch it unless he were intercepted on the way out of the cage. I can see the cutman giving deference to the coaches about waking her up with something that could presumably hurt a lot, like biting your tongue to wake yourself up. If the coaches would rather she recover gradually and not have the distraction of pain to listen to corner advice, etc.

Our kid got assigned to Cambridge Public Schools' Portuguese immersion program, and I'm now lording it over my wife how much casual exposure I've gotten to Portuguese from watching MMA. We're watching Musica now, and the main character is Rudy. "did you know that the initial R in Portuguese is prononuced with an H sound?"
