Also, re: Hat eating - if you make an edible hat, you have to show photo/video evidence of having worn it in public for at least an hour, as per "Abe vs Flaskfucker". If you eat a non-edible hat, you may skip eating any metal or plastic components, as per "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe"

I think if one of Ronda or JPJ still had the title, it wouldn't look too bad but as it is, it's just not right.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
hey fatherdog, now that the rematch is official, do you have any insight into how Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar will go down in 2016? I suppose we haven't seen enough of Aldo post-USADA testing and IV ban, but Edgar has been on a tear since the last time him and Aldo fought. Or is it likely gonna have a similar outcome where Aldo doesn't stay down for long at all during the match and he beats Edgar to the punch in enough rounds to win a decision?

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



Every time Edgar has had a rematch, he's done better against that person than he had the time before (regardless of the judges' opinions) so on that alone I expect cool poo poo.

Edgar will win, but be robbed by the judges once more. I'm coming around on the idea of the fight itself, even though I still don't like it. Going to be interesting to see what new questions Frankie has for Aldo to answer, and how horny Aldo has gotten.

Yeah this. Frankie's doubletap gimmick failed against Bendo the second time thanks to the judges.

to be fair Jon Jones might gently caress up other cards too at this rate. them being international makes no difference, as long as the country has roads no fight card is safe

Holy Rollers really aren't my thing but his constant, bizarre positivity makes me want a Sage avatar.

But I love this one so much.

:pages through google images:

That would make my avatar history Hunter S. Thompson, the blue Fedor one from when we all had Pride avatars, a Fedor "tears" one from when he lost to Werdum and I freaked out, back to Fedor, Matt Serra (I think), and Chael.

A good run.
