I suspect it's more a matter of it was Cleveland's regularly scheduled Memorial Day Weekend Parade, and one of their firefighters just so happens to be a UFC Heavyweight Champion so he got a to sit in his own truck with a little half-assed banner.

The difference is resting motionless in a pickup bed is not the only way Stipe Miocic could physically participate in a parade.

Stipe is a very nice man and good fighter. Unlike Tim The Maine-iac Sylvia who was not a nice man and was a bad fighter.

You believe what you want, but I know deep down the entire parade was just for Stipe.

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 cannot believe Wanderlei ate that many Huntknuckles without dying, and I also can't believe Hunt powered through that twisted-up arm, and I finally can't believe Hunt WWFed Silva with a flying rear end-hammer. A good video.

I noticed that, too, but I was thinking (hoping) he's probably just stiff from the day before, given how he trains and how much work he's needed to have on his knees and legs. In the second embedded he talks about his routine preparing for a fight, and he basically says he wraps up by working as hard as he can until his body starts to break down, and then continuing until he really has nothing left, then he has some time to rest and recover and he feels like that gets him to the fight in the best shape. He says he was peaking the day before he went to get his car modded, so that's probably why he was screwing around with that and watching little kids fight instead of hitting pads. Rest day.

Also they just uploaded the fourth embedded literally 30 minutes ago or so and he still looks like he might be walking a little gingerly but it doesn't seem as bad as in that one particular scene :shrug:

Finally, someone quantified what we all already know. MMA Math can be used to prove that anyone can beat anyone. I haven't been able to stump it yet, except clearly with unbeaten fighters.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

There was that one fight he threw like 10,000 elbows, only because his hands were broken though

Who would have thought back in the day that Rich Clementi defeating Anthony Johnson would be such an important fight.

e: also I managed to stump it with a fighter who has been defeated, but I had to pick literally the worst person I ever saw fight in the UFC as the other guy

Brock would win. Here's my process: Matt Lindland lost to Fedor, who is commonly considered the best heavyweight of all time, except for Brock Lesnar, who's better.

the best part of all these edmbeded is definitely the fact that even michael bispings children know that he is going to lose to ruckhold and it is more funny each time you hear them go "uhhh him" when he asks who is going to win

No.

I feel like this should be factored into the overrated champion discussion.
