Every time there's a lull in fights to talk about we get these absurd derails. I don't mind it, I don't care about the probation, post on folks let's just not ban anyone.

that's what i assumed was happening until he put in the lepers colony reasons section that he was pm'ing an *anonymous source* about SMP's posting when he posted the dreaded lol and well, the hammer had to come down.

then when i started being vocal about it a lot of meek dweebs that rarely post coming squirming out to bleat about how the moderator's decision is good and correct and i start getting the feeling that our mod has several correspondences from some of the worst and least funny posters in this sub forum.

thanks for admitting to being the snitch, saves me making broad strokes and catching some benign posters in my awesome crossfire, but the fact that you think saying 'lol' in response to a mondo brain damaged assertion by a person who is completely unqualified to make that assertion is worthy of moderator intervention then you are absolutely the loving problem.

next time you see a lol, you could try saying hey, skip my posts, that reply is scurrying away from the awesome point dickhead #57 made about how much the ufc is worth, try answering his question in the future instead of bitching out of a discussion. and immediately after pressing post you'll get me and several other people saying 'lol' at you because you took the side of the stupid dickhead who deserves to be made fun of and dismissed because your brain clearly doesn't work properly.

the community is now magically better. stupid derails about the ufc's value will stop because the community decided it's stupid. no mod intervention necessary.

personally i'd consider it a win if regs would stop getting probated for laughing at morons and / or making funny posts and the loving losers who i know are reading this and corresponding with our mod privately about the standard of behaviour you expect as a thin skinned pantywaist perusing the fight forums would stop snitching on the people who actually contribute in a tangible way around here.

i'd consider it a bonus round win if our mod would also encourage this but he's obviously got very specific ideas about how and when to mash his buttons

Yeah Sexual Market Value is one of my favorite things to ever happen in this subforum

Was he the same guy that talked about back posture and tanning

I think the sexual market guy was from the UFC 161 GDT, I remember him specifically talking about Alexis Davis ruining her body with a tattoo and then a Ryan Jimmo spectacular followed it and everybody kept arguing about the tattoo.

Posture guy was a goon that was "dragged" to a Conor McGregor after party before Conor was super mega rich and famous and he complained that it wasn't any fun because the women were all orange and wanted to have sex and the buff guys had worse posture than IT nerds.

I find SMP annoying sometimes but I'm not going to put more effort into responding to him than he does into annoying me.



What we need is some kind of posting equivalent of oildome. That'd sort this poo poo out in the greasiest, most homoerotic way possible - perfect for an MMA forum.

Ah poo poo you're right. I couldn't remember what his other decision was outside of Werdum and that's probably for a good reason. I also just noticed Reem's KO over Andre is list as TKO (Crane Kick and Punches)

Yeah, it was the Rashad/Hendo card which was one of the worst UFC PPV cards ever from a fight and buy rate stand point so he rightfully did not watch it or visit the forum at the time.

I was thinking about the Overeem vs Russian Guy and how it is obviously UFC sacrificing what little of Reems name is left and giving the new guy a rub.


It got me wondering, are there any other examples. Two that springs to mind are Shamrock jobbing Franklin and Abbot to Kimbo.

Anu other come to mind?

In the main event, there were two dudes. One of them was Irish, performing in front of an Irish crowd in Ireland. He won the bout which helped his after party immensely. A friend of mine persuaded me to it, despite my inclinations. He bullshitted his way in, sorta, and then we had an amazingly unfun time, surrounded by orange women in very little, operating under the delusional hope that UFC guy would gently caress them, repeatedly, into some sort of monetary positive. At the same time, most of the males I saw were weighted towards steroids and skipping leg day. Seriously, I have walked into offices full of computer nerds slaving away with better backs and posture. Admittedly, none of them were four foot wide with rounded shoulders that bad, tearing their backs to shreds. Personally, I felt ashamed I was there but learned a lot about how the human body can be distorted detrimentally.


Hope that helps.

You can just tell by sentences like this that this guy was all in on the incel campaign four years ago lol
