it shames jme since im mostly of irish descent that I really dont know much of the history. What are you referring to if you dont mind me asking?

I know duffy has a long way to go before he is knockinbg on a title shot, but the guy has had consistently good fights and like I commented his accuracy is phenomenal. I like some of the new breed of fighters we're seeing with the UFC.

the punch that dropped him didnt look like a nything at all, was it the bod shots or the head kick before it that caused him to wilt from that punch? It looked like such a glancing blow I dont know how it did any damage.

I love watching joe duffy throw strikes, he has really good accuracy. I hope he fights conor one day and shuts him the gently caress up (I like conor but it would own if an irish man beat him).

I see you have never been punched really hard in the body. Also go back and look at the punch again. It hits the sternum so perfectly and cleanly it's closer to surgery than punching. You can tell when someone is hurt by a bodyshot because there's a split second between the punch being delivered and the brain responding to the agony.

That and that his brain was already half off and he was probably mentally done from the head kick which rocked him.

they were all pretty entertaining tbh. has TAM had an unenjoyable title fight? Maybe the first Faber vs Barao interim title match. but that is 1/1000. all the others were worth watching. good return imo.

In the ongoing saga of Dillashaw vs Faber, TJ said on Ariel's show this morning he's banned from returning to Team Alpha Male's gym. It makes sense if TJ really was using most of the younger/inexperienced students to beat up on, but yeah they are setting the stage up for Dillashaw to fight Faber next summer if he gets by Cruz. RIP Assuncao, the man who never mattered.

quote:

AUGUST of 2008, in Beijing, China I was doing everything I could to break the arm of a woman I barely knew from Algeria.

Being an experienced judoka herself, she knew that there was nothing she could do to stop me and tapped me on the leg to signal she gave up.

I won the match en route to my Olympic bronze medal in judo.

I was the first woman from my country to win an Olympic medal in the sport.

Many people called me an American hero that day.

February of 2013 in a sold-out arena in California I was doing everything I could to

break the arm of another woman I barely knew named Liz Carmouche.

An experienced fighter herself, she knew there was nothing she could to stop me and tapped my leg to admit defeat.

I was the first woman to win a UFC title.

Many called me a barbarian that day.

I am a fighter.

But I am not a violent person.

I don’t enjoy hurting people.

If anyone gets hurt, it is not the aim of my actions — in fact I prefer winning with no one getting hurt.

But injuries are part of my business, just like carpal tunnel is for people who type all day to make a living.

For some reason I was born to a mother who was a judo world champion.

For some reason I lost my father to suicide at eight years old.

I had so much bottled up grief and anger and self-loathing and for some reason I found an outlet that saved me.

Fighting.

To me fighting is not an exhibition of brutality or a glorification of violence.

Fighting is a metaphor for life.

Everyone you meet every day is fighting for something, but life gets complicated and what you’re fighting for sometimes isn’t very clear.

But an actual fight is black and white, a relief from all the grays in the not so literal ones we’re all engaged in.

When was the last time something rough touched your skin?

When was the last time you even had to endure an uncomfortable temperature?

When was the last time you were in a real high-pressure situation?

We live in a time of soft fabrics, air conditioning and participation trophies.

We all have a need to feel a little uncomfortable to convince ourselves we’re awake.

An instinctual need to pinch ourselves as proof we aren’t dreaming.

That pinch could be in the form of sitting down and watching a fight, gasping and cringing and jumping and shouting and feeling your heart race for the fighter you for some reason chose to identify with.

Fighting provides vicarious glory for the fan.

When in the UFC Octagon I’m not thinking about hurting the person standing in front of me.

I’m problem solving.

What could they possibly be thinking?

What do they know about me?

What do they think would work on me based on what they know?

How are they trying to solve me? What some call a blood sport, I call a high stakes game of wits.

Of all the things in the world I have to worry about in the past and future, the only thing on my mind during a fight is that exact moment and the problem I’m trying to solve.

It’s an escape and an outlet for the artist.

It’s not a brawl.

It’s not gore and brutality.

It’s an art.

It’s an opportunity for courage.

It’s an exercise of overcoming.

And I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t judge me for it.

More MMA Hour notes:
-TJ now seems fine with fighting Faber after getting banned from TAM
-TJ still went to the Benavidez/Olivi wedding
-TJ says moving this camp to CO was on him, not because of "recruiting"
-Bang was really snarky to Ariel about not being on the show last week, and seriously Ariel needs to get a grain of self-awareness because he has roughly 1000x more "beefs" with fighters than all other MMA journalists combined. When you have one person throwing bombs for 80 minutes (Faber), the other side should get a response the following show, even if it's you're 300th show and you want to feel like a cool guy by having a bunch of legends insult you. Which goes back to the self-awareness thing.
-Hendricks blames the weight cut on venison, which he ate a lot because thought would be better for his weight than chicken and fish. :psyduck:
-Hendricks has no illusions about being competitive at middleweight unless he gets a lot better.

I assume he was buying deer meet directly from hunters or something and there's no caloric info the way there would be at a grocery store. Naturally, this should make someone want to take the step of doing ~90 seconds of research online about the differences between deer and chicken, but fighters do not always have the strongest intellects.

Depending on the cut of chicken and preperation of both meats, venison is actually leaner than chicken per ounce in terms of calories and total fat content. It is slightly higher in saturated fat and notably worse in cholesterol and those things probably have a pretty negative effect on weight loss, but I could see a doofus casually googling himself to the same conclusion.

E: the numbers cited are for venison that's been ground and pan-seered vs the ever-specific "chicken meat," which is very likely something high-calorie like skin-on thighs. I'm sure if you get specific and look at properly prepared chicken breast you get even more lean and there's just no comparison, and I refuse to believe venison is better for weight management than fish without even looking.

The thing about deer is that it doesn't exactly have succulent cuts of loin or anything.

It's a pretty lean animal. Most of the meat gets made into sausage or ground meat and in both of those cases they will add pork fat to make it not taste bland/dry.

If you don't put in any fat it's probably close to being as lean as chicken breasts. If you have the processor make sausage out of it, he's going to add a lot of pork fat and now you are eating essentially pork sausage and you won't make weight.
