That's an interesting question. I can imagine the arguments against it, but it seems reasonable, on the whole.


Would it, though? It's not like he needs to be convicted criminally in order to be liable civilly. The plaintiffs' lawyers might be able to argue that he's admitted responsibility, but his lawyers would probably argue that they were just trying to save their client money, and a drawn-out trial.

Assuming taking a plea does hurt him in a civil case, wouldn't that make which charges he pleas to pretty important? If he pleas to "touched bus in parking lot," instead of "assault with a deadly weapon," can his team then argue that all he did was touch a bus, and therefore the show getting cancelled is unrelated / he didn't cause any harm / whatever?

There must be precedent for something like this. Maybe not in MMA, but this can't be the first time a bus attack caused people to miss work.

considering cody garbrandt is fighting, the title really needs to be something unintentionally homoerotic

I don't have any jokes but Carla Esparza is fighting. For some reason that surprised me. Didn't she get her will sapped by some rear end whippings?

I have collected trash my whole career. This will not be a new challenge for me.
*tires after 6 min of trash picking*
I did not manage my energy efficiently. We must find ways to renew our resources, these are lessons we must learn.

nah, she got the absolute gently caress beat out of her by Joanna but she's still top 10 and she just lost a super-close split decision to Gadelha where she almost knocked her out, she's doing fine
