He's not crazy drunk at any point in that podcast. He's buzzed generally throughout, but if you think that's crazy drunk, you don't know crazy drunk.

Cerrone at one point mentions he's 4 to 1 on Rogan and gives him a second beer, but I don't think Rogan has much more than that.

Pretty typical Rogan if you ask me, especially when he says something to the effect of

"Conspiracy theorists are ignorant. They don't look into the facts. Anyway Donald, check out this cool news article about how SETI found aliens. It's true because someone put it online."

I actually listened to this one and Rogan specifically says it probably is a blip and mentions that the chances are like one in a million. He does ramble for about twenty minutes about the nature of infinity after that, so make fun of that all you want but don't make poo poo up.

I really enjoyed the Joe Silva era of MMA as a legitimate sport, on the other hand I will enjoy the poo poo out of fights where nobody gives a poo poo about weight classes or belts and we get more entertaining scraps like Conor vs. Nate.

Anyone half way knowledgeable can throw together rad fights for mega stars. Where we'll miss Joe Silva is on the prelims and early prelims.

UFC September - You Feel Lucky, Punk?


Men's Flyweight (125lbs, 56.7kg) Champion: Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson (24-2-1).
The greatest fighter in the world. Attained the title at UFC 152 in September 2012, and has successfully defended it 8 times in a row. Will defend his title next against the winner of The Ultimate Fighter 24 tournament at the finale of that series on December 3rd, 2016. The pound-for-pound greatest fighter in the world.

Honestly the biggest hurdle is probably scoping B-leagues for good talent and then grooming them for the big stage/not tossing them to the wolves. I think the UFC is already kind of set up to do this because it's pretty typical for a 6-0 B-league champ to get signed to the UFC and then sink or swim.

Unless the UFC changes the way they matchmake, the whole winners vs winners and losers vs losers thing has worked pretty well.

So I bought 202 and watched Maia wrap up Condit like a methed up spider spraying web everywhere, is there anything on 203 that should warrant a purchase other than Punk being beat into early onset dementia? Kinda new and still figuring out who's worth a gently caress to watch.

Heavyweight fights are almost always entertaining and Overeem and Miocic are both really good fighters. Probably the most interesting heavyweight title matchup since Cain vs JDS I

Werdum is cool and Travis Browne sucks poo poo, their first fight was pretty one-sided and only got dull when Werdum slowed the pace of the rear end whooping in the fourth and fifth. I think the rematch should be a good chance to watch Travis Browne humiliated again.

Faber/Rivera and Calderwood/Andrade are both eh. Uncle Creepy vs the Taz-Mexican Devil is the most interesting fight I see on the prelims.
