I read one of his books and it was awful.
No real "here's what you need to eat and why" just a "here's what I like to eat".

A good nutrition book should explain not only what to eat but how much to eat and how to calculate everything.

I realize you weren't exactly looking for recommendations, but I like this enough to suggest it unprompted. It is not designed for cutting weight (well, not really; it does discuss cyclists getting down to racing weight), but Allen Lim is a good dude and everything in there tastes good.

Edit: LOL and in another part of the interview he said he told Penn this new style was dumb while they were on TUF 19 and he didn't get invited to the training camp because it might strain their friendship. Yeah right. All in all he blames the entire thing on BJ getting what BJ wants so maybe he's right but him and everyone around him are still dumbshit idiots letting BJ Diva his way into a nationally televised rear end beating.

There has been long-running animosity between Jason and BJs guys in Hawaii, precisely because Jason tended to tell the Hawaii guys that they were bad trainers and letting BJ do whatever he wanted for 10% of a purse was not actually training somebody. And trying to depart from what someone has been doing for an entire training camp in the last week is, in fact, a bad idea. Parillo probably should have stayed away from the whole shitshow but I don't see anything particularly ridiculous in that interview.

I'm just saying if he thinks changing his boxing style after X weeks is bad, why isn't changing it after X years even worse? But yeah I agree the best course of action here isn't to jump on the train right before it hits a curve doing 300.

I think Jason was saying that after 2 years of BJ doing this under the totally useful tutelage of team Hawaii:

david carmichael posted:

ok. so you are getting tuckered out from your current fighting style. we are going to completely retool your game to avoid having that happen. what we are going to do is: make you stop trying.

Jason wasn't going to come in during the last week and try to change everything around. Which is reasonable. What is not reasonable is BJ's decision not to bend his legs, ever.

without watching the fight i would say that bj not being able to get up was a combination of frankie being able to get deeper on his shots and land in a better position for top control, improved top control from frankie, and bj not wanting to tucker himself out.

It is very difficult to effectively use your guard when bending your legs is forbidden.

gently caress. I think that means the winner of Pickett/McCall will get the shot with the winner of Formiga/Makovsky as second possibility, but McCall and Pickett are more known and have history with Mighty Mouse.

Ian should probably have to fight at least one more time after Pickett before getting another shot at the mouse. A rematch with Formiga would at least have the rematch angle (assuming he actually beats Pickett).

Seeing McCall have a hosed up training camp and poo poo the bed in a big way is never going to be surprising.

This is correct, doubly so because Colin Oyama is a useless fat poo poo, but he claims to be waking up at 140 and looks extremely fit. Claims camp is going well. Heroin free, I'm told.

Anecdotally, I've been told repeatedly that EPO is very popular in the UFC ranks. If so, everybody's S&C coaches should probably start paying more attention to cycling.

That should alarm other title challengers and main eventers because if UFC was willing to spend $40,000 drug test on a PPV that grossed maybe twice that, then they'll be willing to drug test bigger fights.

According to Ian, they have said they're going to start doing this to literally everybody. All 300-ish fighters or whatever.

God drat, the trips that Brown hits near the end of the first (especially the first one) can only be described as contemptuous. He easily tosses Silva to the ground and then immediately follows it up by not giving a gently caress.

If you watch a decent amount of Muay Thai, this is how throws out of the clinch often play out, and that trip is very much one of those (except foot sweeps like that are technically not kosher in MT).

Throwing in the towel in MMA is a foul and isn't viewed the same way as it is in boxing. The only way a fighter's corner can facilitate the fight to be stopped is to get a hold of the inspector who will then signal the ref who then knows to stop the fight.

It is a foul that leads to disqualification, i.e. serves the intended purpose.

well that's the Bader fight, the one he missed weight for, and he said he missed weight because his knee was jacked up from injuries. Not saying it matters since I believe Rampage had the same knee injury excuse for the Rashad fight that predates the Jones one by a good year but that's how it unfolded


I used to be one, so you're correct

Rampage is a lazy whiny fat poo poo and has been known around Southern California for shirking training and making up excuses since before he fought sakuraba. Everybody got upset at his corner for yelling at him when he broke his rib against Shogun, but they had every reason to suspect he was faking it cuz he was over the fight.
