I hope you get crushed to death by a fat guy trying to commit suicide by falling out of a window and when the paramedics answer the local bystander asking if you'll live, he just says "fat chance" and laughs.

Now we might get to see the mauler lose a boring decision against Cormier

Gustafson/cormier shattered thd ufc record for most fleeing and i believe it set the record for most missed strikes as well, or some other similarly pathetic stat. It wasnt good.

Gustafson/Jones and Jones/Cormier I were good, Gustafson/Cormier wasn’t that good. I find Gustafson a pretty meh fighter skill-wise and he’s only the second best LHW by default because LHW shouldn’t exist

Gustafson is probably the most skilled nazi in MMA but like all nazis he's a coward so most of his fights are bad to watch.

There were a bunch of bad fighters playing round robin with the belt in 2008 as opposed to one good one holding it, so I guess you could say the division has marginally improved

Trust me; I know. Was aiming for snark.

Last weekend's card beat the majority of the Poirier/Pettis card the previous weekend.

He’s referencing my habit of calling fedor the goat for much the same reason as bundt cake says Stephan bonnar beat Jon Jones, but I’m unaware of any links between fedor and nazism. I don’t think even his criminal monster brother is Nazi.

One of his training partners definitely was, and a pretty tight one. Let's talk about Arona instead.

Aleksander is a hepatitis-positive rapist ex-con with Nazi tattoos but possibly not an actual Nazi. Roman Zentsov has closer ties with Fedor than Aleksander does and is unquestionably a Nazi

To me, if you have swastikas tattooed on your knees then sherdog Nazi rankings are kind of immaterial

Anyway I don't know how reputable the sports business journal is but they say Fox is prepared to make a 200 million a year offer but WME wants 450 million a year, which is a pretty big gulf
