Pretty long and detailed piece on weight-cutting.

Not much there that anyone paying attention didn't already know, but it puts it all in one place and discusses a lot of the things that promotions and ACs are doing or contemplating to mitigate the issue.

I know it's probably a crazy idea, but I wonder if it wouldn't be safer to weigh in 2 (or more, even) days before the fight. The same day weigh-ins are a terrible idea and I feel like periodically measuring body fat during camp or dehydration using the gravity testing is always going to be us chasing something and never catching it. Not to mention how pissed off any of us would be if a big fight got called off because someone's pee was too dense or whatever.

e: Also I remember Novitzky talking about this on Rogan's show and I think he said people take about 36 hours to fully rehydrate. This could encourage people to kill themselves to make weight thinking they'll get two days to recover but also could just let people get the full amount of time needed to recover. Because we're never going to stop people from cutting weight.

Come and join my doomsday cult!
Here is my updated monthly sperg for the next however-the-gently caress-many events, for reference purposes. Because adderall doesn't snort itself.

This post may or may not be subject to frequent updates. Other organizations broadcast on UFC Fight Pass such as Invicta, Titan FC, and Shooto Brazil are included.

Fighters making their UFC debut are denoted with a 'D'.

Events that happened at least 7 days ago are now deleted, because apparently I've discovered the BBcode formatting tag limit for individual posts on SA.


Upcoming UFC Events


Eurasia Fight Nights: Dagestan Fight Pass
September 25 - Makhachkala, Dagestan, Russia
Main Card: 1PM ET/10AM PT
Quick Summary: No seriously, this is an actual thing on Fight Pass. No I have no idea what the gently caress.
However, this 12-fight card is curiously headlined by Bellator Heavyweight Champion Vitaly Minakov
RUS (15-0) vs. Geronimo dos Santos BRA (36-15). Which is pretty loving funny. Full card here.




UFC Fight Night Saitama – Fox Sports 1
September 26 - Saitama, Japan
Main Card: 10PM ET/7PM PT | Prelims: 8PM ET/5PM PT
Quick Summary: Josh Barnett has come to save the soul of Japanese MMA.

Shooto Brazil 57 - Fight Pass
September 27 - Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Main Card: 6PM ET/3PM PT
Quick Summary: The card can be found here. I'm no longer bothering with listing fights for
third-tier FightPass events beyond headliners, but even the headliner seems like filler here.
So, meh, :effort:.




UFC 192 – PPV
October 3 - Houston, Texas, USA
Main Card: 10PM ET/7PM PT | Prelims: 8PM ET/5PM PT | Early Prelims: 6:15PM ET/3:15PM PT
Quick Summary: If you can look past the fact that all four LHWs in the main and co-main have
already lost to Jon Jones (three lost badly), this is a fairly stacked card with lots of fun and
relevant fights (albeit most fights are only one or the other).


Vs

Pancrase 270 – Fight Pass
October 4 - Tokyo, Japan
2AM ET/11PM PT (October 3rd Pacific Time)
Quick Summary: Pancrase is your latest addition to FightPass, and no I am not listing all that. Partly
because even I have a limit on this stuff, and partly because there are 25 loving fights on this card,
which is headlined by Andy MainUSA (10-2-1) vs. Nam PhanUSA (21-14) at Featherweightish.




UFC Fight Night Dublin – Fight Pass
October 24 - Dublin, Ireland
Main Card: 4PM ET/1PM PT | Prelims: 12:45PM ET/9:45AM PT
Quick Summary: Cool main event between two very dangerous lightweights, even if it's not immediate-
ly relevant to the title picture. The co-main is a really huge fight for a Fight Pass card and Ben Rothwell
is cool now, so enjoy.


Vs

Main Card – Fight Pass @ 4PM ET/1PM PT

November 7 - Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Main Card: 10PM ET/7PM PT | Prelims: 8PM ET/5PM PT | Early Prelims: 6:30PM ET/3:30PM PT
Quick Summary: If you're rooting against Hendo and are not Brazilian (or possibly even if you are),
you are a horrible person who hates freedom, democracy, and the elderly.

November 15 - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Main Card: 10PM ET/7PM PT | Prelims: 8PM ET/5PM PT | Early Prelims: 6:15PM ET/3:15PM PT
Quick Summary: It's a practical guarantee that the main event shall bring VIOLENCE!! buyrates!
(Robbie Lawler vs. Carlos Condit has been replaced by Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm). Anyway this
event is being run in a 70,000 seat stadium for some reason. Even with Rousey, this is highly
confusing.

UFC Fight Night Monterrey – Fox Sports 1
November 21 - Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Main Card: 10PM ET/7PM PT | Prelims: 8PM ET/5PM PT | Early Prelims: Time TBA
Quick Summary: Hardly an all-star line-up, but Matt Brown is always fun. Diego Sanchez making his
Featherweight debut may or may not be cringe-worthy. This is also the TUF Latin America 2 Finale, so
expect a bunch of fun fights between scrubs.

UFC Fight Night Las Vegas – Fight Pass
December 10 - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Time TBA
Quick Summary: Welp, that came together quick. This is largely an overflow card for people who
are contractually owed fights, as the UFC ended up having six less events than originally planned
this year before this card was tacked on. Still, it's perfectly fine for a Fight Pass card, unless you think
WMMA is icky.

I don't know why people dislike Ronda. She truly the People's PSP champion, bridging the worlds of wrestlehut with professional wrestlehut

Yeah. I'm here because of her, found out more about Cyborg, and now I'm seriously considering moving from the horror show that is monthly WWE pay per views to UFC to watch the fine gentlemen of that organization engage in fisticuffs.

I just like the punchwomen, is that wrong :ohdear:


e: Wait Fight Pass is $9.99 a month?! :stare:

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.

To be fair Summerslam was a really really bad show to start with outside of New Day, Owens/Cesaro, and everything in Lesnar/Undertaker except the end, then they decided to stretch it over four hours for incomprehensible reasons.

The women's division is slowly, gruelingly getting better, Owens/Cesaro is turning into a blood feud, and New Day continues to be far and away the best thing on the roster. Otherwise it's a dumpster fire and John Cena is the gasoline. (Which is sad because he's one of the best wrestlers but so overexposed people are actively hostile)

Oh yeah, this! Main product is idiot garbage from a clown dumpster, NXT is developmental and is loving amazing. We're pretty sure Vince has no idea it exists, so wrestlemen can actually do the wrestle.

Yep, but it doesn't have the PPV events on it, because Dana White isn't the type of idiot that would gut his biggest money maker in an effort to forge ahead alone.

What it does have, is every single past UFC event, and a whole ton of past events from companies that the UFC has since bought. Here and here are links to the two Fightpass Playlist/Collection threads we've had before. First one needs archives, second one is live.

I'm fine with not getting PPVs, I mean I'll lose out on some of the big fights (although I'm sure they play it at the BW3s here or whatever) but it sounds like there are some fun matches on Fight Pass.

I also like MMA because the grappling means people aren't getting their brains rearranged for 15 minutes straight like boxing. They can actually retire without suffering from CTE :unsmith:

If seeing guys retire when it's their time and in good condition is a thing you like to do I would probably not suggest watching MMA.

Also keep in mind every year there's about 6-7 Fight Pass exclusive events. Last year we got a funny Japan card out of it and this year we got an actual title fight.

The UFC is doing a lot better at getting PPV's up on Fight Pass and now the lag time is about 2 months, so if you absolutely can't buy a PPV or go to a BW3 you can still watch fights.

Alrighty. I'll pick up fight pass after I get my paycheck this week (shut up I still have to budget things ok) and we'll see where it goes from there.

Thanks!

So who's looking forward to Joe Riggs' 57th MMA fight at UFC 191? Dude is 32 years old and looks like someone zombified Willem Dafoe and bleached his hair.
