Any Austin goons know of a good place to watch UFC fights south of the river? If not, I was thinking maybe Mr. Tramp's up north?

Just got around to the UFC 160 preview. Junior Dos Santos says his creatinine levels were elevated from the normal range of 250-300 to 1000-1400, evidence of overtraining and potential cause of decreased performance levels. Is that a generally known problem in sports? What about combat sports?

Rhabdo Not very common in most sports. It's a thing in Crossfit though.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the bigger names like GSP had it checked often, or if it was part of a standard "athlete" blood panel, but I know some pro-wrestlers and endurance athletes have had dramas with it in the past. Some soldiers going for real hard special forces selection get it too.

Is there anywhere to look up who was judging a particular fight? The closest I found was mmadecisions.com but it only list the judges for fights that went to a decision.

If the fight you're interested in is on the same card as one that went to a decision on that site, it's the same judges.

For some reason I thought that judges changed from fight to fight much like the refs. There are usually only so many in attendance on a given night but I didn't think it was the same three people all night long. Seems like it would lead to worse judging later on in an event if that were the case.

Your best bet is to try googling around for a news articles that mentions the judges, although articles reporting who is going to be judging is not exactly a common thing, especially with undercard fights.

I'm thinking something like TAM (you always see Faber, Benavidez and Mendes) or the Gracie camp cornering one of their up and comers in the prelims and then fighting later on the main card.

Has PP ever had a Hulk Hogan or general "behind the scenes dirt" thread? There's an amazing amount of lying and manipulation brought up in the WCW Death thread based on Hogan's wacky autobio that I'd love to hear more about Hogan or that part of the industry.

The carnies thread is pretty close to that, yeah. The thread that this thread is modeled on is the wrestling questions thread which is also largely about that sort of thing. I don't recall a Hogan thread off the top of my head, but his bullshit is prominent in both of those.

Moderator Gendo was kind enough to make a Hogan thread for all your Hulk-aroo needs. But this article is, I believe, the definitive article about Hulk's hilarious lies.

This has to do more with PSP but what's the story behind the blue-tinted avatars that some people had like the Paulo Fhilo and Ricardo Arona ones? Were they publicity pictures that PRIDE made (other than the Gray Maynard one that Fatherdog used to have)?

Why do the smaller MMA weight classes have 10 pound ranges compared to 15 for most? The talent pool doesn't seem to justify splitting it in three instead of two.

The lighter the weight the more of an advantage each pound gives you. Guys stuck in the middle of the range would be at a bigger disadvantage.

cutting is more difficult too since each pound is a greater % of body weight.

With all of the recent uproar on Duane Ludwig's involvement with Team Alpha Male's string of wins, and nature of said wins. I've heard both Chad Mendes and Joseph Benavidez say in interviews that Duane isn't only a striking coach, but also a game planner who watches tape. The troubling bit about all of this is that both $ and Benavidez said this wasn't really a practice that took place before they hired on Bang, and that they essentially just trained not necessarily in a cavalier way, just not to the extent where they're currently at now. There's actual structure at this point. I guess my question is, how can an established camp with veteran fighters and former champions operate in such a laissez-faire kind of way?

Lots of top fighters don't watch tape at all, and many more use it very minimally. It's not something that's universally useful to every fighter; it depends a lot on the way you react to things in the ring and your individual style.

What a shock, a fight camp run by Uriah Faber, Master Thonglor, and Justin Buchholz might not have the best practices for training MMA fighters.

What is Master Thonglor's role in the camp now, anyway? Seems like Ludwig has things covered... Relegated to mitt holding only?
