If GSP does fight McGregor at 155 it'll be cool because we'll get GSP/Khabib after.

It is almost khabib time. I am happy that it is almost khabib time. I am ready for some khabib. Don't get injured and pull out khabib. If khabib loses I will consider it a Trump plot. Save us from conor Khabib.

Diaz spent the entire fight turtling and threatening a knee bar that he never got close too. I haven't seen it in a while but that's what I remember.

There was a brief sequence where Diaz was in turtle. He would barely move and gsp would leap over him to the other side. I feel like this happened a few times, and has exactly why gsp got tuckered out

He had another few fights after, including a win in Bellator. This is extremely sad and its something I genuinely worry about fighters who half make it, then don't, and have zero fall back plans, and head trauma resulting in mental illness as a leaving bonus.

Cyborg never disclosed her, quote entirely legal, substance until after she tested positive for it USADA have finally admitted.

“Her use of the medication was not initially disclosed; but more importantly, once contacted by USADA, she immediately identified the medication as the source of her positive test, submitted all necessary medical information and demonstrated that it was being used for legitimate medical purposes without enhancing her performance. Those are the primary considerations when reviewing any TUE application.”

Ian Kidd articles on MMA drug testing are not worth reading. He has a habit of being deliberately obtuse and selectively quoting the regulations to make USADA look bad because he has a boner for Machida and is mad about how Machida's case was handled.

Martin Holm from K-1 ran through a bunch of security barriers in his car at the Swedish royal palace coz he believed some princess was in love with him or something. He hung himself in 2009.

However, Mike Bernardo became a clinical psychologist after fighting helping troubled youth. Found dead in his apartment in 2012.

So maybe having a post fight career will not save you from physical brain defects.

For Harold Howard I will just steal from his wiki:

"On December 22, 2009 Howard was charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault with a weapon, attempted breaking and entering, failure to remain, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, mischief and two counts breach of recognizance after being captured by police. The events leading to said arrest include attacking his sister and nephew with a hammer, attempting to force his way into his estranged wife's home, and finally crashing his car into the Fallsview Casino.[3] In the end, Harold was sentenced to just shy of five years in prison.[4]"

That's the "If you're going to come on, come on!" Karate mullet guy from UFC 3 who said he liked to get hit. I believe he had also been doing poo poo like going into police stations and saying his blood had all dried up or something.

I'm sure there is a bunch more.

Interestingly from reading mark hunt's biography he seems to be getting more grounded and well balanced with progressive head trauma. I wonder how fujita is doing?

Mark Hunt is the human version of hitting the old TV really hard and making it work better.

Mark Hunt thought it was normal for your dad to tie your hands above your head and beat you with anything lying around on a daily basis. He was also jealous that his sister never got beating, but in fact got taken to the bedroom for "special time with daddy" and was cruel to her accordingly.

It wasn't until his current wife pointed out that none of this was normal did he put any thought into it and acknowledged it.

It's genuinely impressive to me that he is on his way to recovery, even if it is a slow, meandering path.

Jack Slack tends to overinterpret scoring and landing techniques as part of a robust gameplan, and underemphasizes how much getting hurt can make you less effective in a fight.
The more technical and less knockdowny a fight, the more accurate his analysi is.

Once upon time some dude was getting trounced and wasn't defending well and I drunkenly went "why wouldn't he defend against that" and Fatherdog (rip) went "because he just got hit in the head for two rounds you dummy"
