Any goons gonna be in vegas for fight week and the fan expo?

Also, any tips for a first timer in Vegas (on a somewhat broke, recent college grad budget)? Not only is this my first time in Vegas but it's actually my first vacation ever! I am excited for the fan expo, and to find a buffet or two, run around outside drinking and not get yelled at for it. That about all I got so far.

First time in Vegas must do poo poo:
Bellagio Flower Garden
Caesar's Forum Shoppes
Check out the WSOP Main Event
Go to a nightclub and day club
See a show
See the Bellagio fountain show from the strip
Walk the strip or ride the double decker bus

Looks like they want you to buy a ticket+hotel package on this page (which you get to from the "buy tickets" link on ufc.com events page):

https://visitabudhabi.ae/showdown-week/showdown.aspx

There's 5 hotels to choose from (on a 1x4 scrolling grid, lmao)

If you already saw that and you want individual tickets without a hotel package, here's Francis Ngannou in a fight with a total of 1 strike thrown:

A buddy of mine was a lawyer, they quit to do graphic design and now they do beer labels, they're much happier.

"Hi, I'm awesomeolion."

I was thinking about the recent JDS fight and discussions of goofballs thinking they could take UFC fighters.

In most pro sports the losers still look really impressive and you can tell they are super skilled. In UFC you get people losing in a minute or less and they look totally poo poo. So maybe that's why goofballs think they could compete like "hey i could stand there and lose in a under a minute so I'm as good as JDS."

If you like Thai food, go to Lotus of Siam. It's loving amazing and not terribly expensive.

If you enjoy spectacle food, then go to Hash House A Go Go. Breakfast food on steroids, ridiculous portions, hella fun place to eat yourself into a food coma. The quality isn't special, but man it's fun to get a pancake the side of a steering wheel. There's one in the LINQ.

The Springs Preserve is worth a visit if you're into environmentalism, and want to see stuff applicable to living in a desert.

If you're hungry and wide awake at 3AM, get a ride to Pho Kim Long, and then head next door to Lee's Sandwiches to stock up for the next day. I'm boutta get some Lee's after work tonight. gently caress yeah, love that place.

Downtown Vegas is way more fun than The Strip, imo. Hit up the Fremont Street Experience if you like a street fair atmosphere with outdoor music, vendors and performers. Also boobs and dongs. You can enjoy the sights and nonsense without spending too much.

I'm also a lawyer (tax) but I love my job. The secret is I work for the government rather than being a serf for unreasonable clients or chattel property of dickhead partners.

But more on topic re who had comparable power: Carwin might've. If you looked for power from any position you'd also get Jones' GnP. It gets hard to draw distinctions at the top though. Accuracy matters as much as power and it could be Rumble or whatever were slightly more accurate but didn't hit as hard or vice versa.

Yeah like Mark Hunt I don't think ever actually hit that hard in the grand scheme of things, but his ability to put his middle knuckle on the point of your chin or behind your ear meant dudes just folded.
