question about fight pass; is there any way to stay logged in on the app or browser (Firefox)? I keep getting logged out after every session. cheers.

edit: also, do they hold back on putting on Fight Night shows too then? trying to watch the recent McGregor & Bispings fights but they're not there.

Are you checking the box that says keep me signed in?

They think they need an announcers desk like football but it just dilutes the product

I wish they would use that time to talk about techniques and tactics instead of trying to emulate the talking heads of football broadcasts.

Soto is facing the opportunity of a lifetime! What do you think, Brian Stann

Yeah, I'd rather hear about whether a certain fighter should chain certain takedowns than hear about why tattooed fighter #37 has a ton of grit.

When Brock was dealing with his illness they made an interim title fight between Mir and Carwin when it hadn't even been a full year yet.

They didn't have a timeline for Brock's return at that point. He could have sat out for 3 years for all the UFC knew.

I like watching his fights well enough but at the risk of beating a dead horse, I think Poirier is at his highest level of potential achievement in terms of winnable fights, and even that's not a lock.

That's barring an unforeseen leap in skill of defensive wrestling and grappling, too, but I really doubt that.

He's only 26, he's got plenty of time to round out his game.

FOX Sports has a more complete story than what the local news I posted was reporting so yeah he tried to puke at the station before they could administer the test, which earned him the destruction and obstruction charges.

I could see obstruction but does puking actually lower your BAC? Seems like they should still be able to tell if he was drunk or not.

If he had a bunch of alcohol in his stomach instead of his bloodstream then yes it would make a difference. Diaz just crashes frat parties and binge drinks.

I know we bring it up a lot but Fatherdog pointing out that BJ refers to chicken salad as a diet food has made me laugh to myself out of nowhere at odd times ever since it happened.


Penn is refering to a salad with chicken, not a tub of mayo with some chicken dropped in.


You know what BJ probably puts so much ranch dressing on that poo poo that it makes no difference.

Yeah nobody is calling for a title shot. Although if they're giving them out to Cariaso it could go to any warm bodies.

If they want to build him into a contender and The Future Of Japanese MMA, they might want to do it cautiously. Something about him makes me worry that he'll be one of those fighters who looks invincible for a while before getting exposed and becoming the butt of jokes. Perhaps I just want to see that fun ride drawn out a bit before someone like Zach Makovsky puts him on his back and takes a 30-27 from him.

Someone mentioned it in the gameday thread but as soon as he left the cage he ignored security to shake hands with a group of teenage girls. He is the next Masato.

On the other hand, it's a super-visible slot to reintroduce viewers to a guy who's been gone three years, which is kind of important if he's going to fight for a title right afterwards

Mizu has also won 5 in a row so getting him some hype could be prudent.

In practice when it comes to MMA everybody calls anything on the main portion of the the card the main card or the main, it's stupid to split hairs over. But yea, only main events are 5 rds unless there is a belt on the line or other special circumstance.
