Didn't Cummins just push Cirkunov into the direction Cirkunov needed, essentially giving up?

It's been pretty funny to discover exactly how many of the greatest Brazilian fighters of all time are basically Colby Covington.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
It turns out the real Oplot was the Brazilian militia we made along the way

guy who ducked his way out of ufc is crying that the public wanted somebody else as flyweight champion, which was one of a few reasons he didn't want to rematch Cejudo.

If he rematches him and wins he becomes the guy with the title defense record who currently has 0 title defenses.

It got bought up in the grappling thread and I was told that supporting fascist dictators who believe death squads to kill people who he hates such gay people, black people and thinks the rain-forest is gods gift to sell off to mining companies and climate change isn't a real thing, shouldn't be discussed.

I guess now we know the kind of centrist liberalism that allows these kinds of people to gain support unchallenged without critcism looks like.

you're just going about it the wrong way. know your audience: you shouldn't say "bolsanaro is a horrific fascist who will cause immense pain and anguish on the poor and vulnerable of brazil, specifically LGBT folks", you should say "sage northcutt is now at risk if he fights in brazil"

Most Brazilian sportsmen supported Bolsonaro. If you follow soccer, think about anyone at all that's somewhat famous and there's a good chance they recorded a pro-Bolsonaro video or sent a support message through social media. They usually come from quite humble families, are very religious and have lived the favela reality, so someone claiming they're gonna get rid of the corruption that made them poor, keep the gays in their place (even some LGBT people agree with that poo poo, see Amanda Nunes) and murder criminals is very appealing to them. Plus, sports are a very macho thing, especially combat sports. Bolsonaro's posturing is macho posturing.

Anyway, at least I can see those guys get punched in the face for catharsis! I don't think it's gonna have much impact on UFC events down here either, at least I don't see any reason why it would. Bolzi is very anti-union so that's perfect for Dana White.

No dipshit people said to take the political discussion to D&D as that had zero relation to training a grappling martial art.
