Wait... loving ALISTAIR AND LOMBARD?! Yeah these are all popping to high heavens.

That's 25 times since Lombard and Reem came off their last suspensions I guess. But those were pre-USADA. I think.

overeem and lombard accepting that award is like crab walking up and snatching a '1 year' token off a sponsor with more needles currently in the body than that chick in the pit in saw 2.

That section of Icarus where the journalist is explaining to the testers just how easily the Russians bypassed their systems, and the one lady looks like she's about to cry was a hell of a thing.

Then they faced basically zero repercussions for any of it :sigh:

it was the most batshit insane documentary i've seen since tickled for sure. the shift in gears between steroids guy getting swole and international spy poo poo was possibly the most jarring gear shift i've ever seen in a documentary.

but yeah i don't know what you're supposed to do to russia when accusing them of doing the very bad thing at the sports. they shot down a passenger airliner and completely got away with it. winning sporting medals doesn't even sort of rate on the give-a-gently caress scale.

Have you checked up on his record since then? It'd be interesting to see if his record is online and if he continued fighting and how that went.

A true renaissance man


I've been to four live MMA events:

Mighty Mouse vs Horiguchi
Lineker vs MacDonald (aka Tferg vs Groovy Lando)
RDA vs Brutal Bob

and a local Winnipeg MMA show headlined by now-TUF winner Brad Katona. That card had the fattest fatweight fight I've ever seen, where a dude from The Pas, MB, fought some blown up middleweight from Alberta and they were both like 5'10" and 260 lb and ridiculously hairy and their bellies were flying everywhere as they threw Don Frye haymakers at each other and their equally fat friends were screaming at each other in the audience near me and it ended with a 1 minute KO. There was also a dude from Pukatawagan, MB, who came out in full powow regalia and it was pretty awesome (but he lost). I also got to cheer for a guy who I train with and he won a good fight with one of his good moves which I help him to practice.

on top of that I went to Kovalev vs Jean Pascal I (1?). I actually found it much nicer to watch the boxing than the MMA live - the ring is better for spectators than the cage, and the action is easier to follow. Part of that was the fact that the crowd in Montreal was loving insane, as Jean Pascal is local and there's a huge angry drunk Russian community there. I guess I've also attended somewhere in the neighbourhood of a dozen amateur boxing cards.

lol, yeah, and absolutely no one really gave a gently caress and nothing really changed. there was the perfunctory scowling and shaking of heads and proclamations that it simply will not do but that guy left everything for no loving reason other than to temporarily embarrass a murderous head of state.

My fav bit was USADA man at the beginning agreeing to help him beat doping controls, then getting cold feet but still knowing who in the WADA periphery was doing it already and would help him do it too.
