You need haters. Fellas if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of them motherfuckers. If there's any haters in here that don't have nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me

It's hard for us old farts with kids. When I talk about people just getting older and not being to watch every card anymore, I'm talking mostly about myself but I know you fit the bill too

Yeah I might post in the gdt once or twice during a card but for the most part (like yesterday) I'm watching the fights with my wife and day-drinking so I don't really have a lot of impetus to be online during cards.

You could probably just do a few fights, including entrances. I think one that's a good mix of freakshow (inexperience, weight difference), skill on display, and entertainment is Nishijima vs Mark Hunt. A cruiserweight pro boxer debuts against an extremely adept HW striker in Mark Hunt.

MINOWAMAN vs Giant Silva and or Butterbean are also good choices for peak freakshow

Last time I was on IRC I had to mute some Trump death cult dude. Pretty sure it’s the shortwave band on the internet.

I love that Mark Hunt’s recovery method is to take a nap standing up while his opponent bounces ineffectual punches off his Samoan skull.

The best pride fight is Genki Sudo vs Butterbean and the best entrance is Akihiro Gonos 3rd masuki bance entrance

Genki Sudo was amazing and I'm disappointed it's so hard to find more of his entrances and fights on youtube. His music videos are sweet

Make sure you watch Don Frye vs Yoshihiro Takayama and Nick Diaz vs Takanori Gomi if you're watching any PRIDE.

None of Sudo's fights in Japan were under Pride. Though I definitely remember all of his K-1/Hero's fights as Pride, too.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,

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's shockingly recursive that WME has watered down the product that people liked and wanted that they've created a Turner backed product to add back in the condom depot nostalgia with great fighters.

ONE still allows PRIDE style knees and has Lenne Hardt, right?

Maybe I’ll switch from UFC to ONE straight up.

We're all doomed
One still allows knees to grounded opponents, but soccer kicks were banned in 2016. I have no idea about Lenne Hardt though, she usually does Rizin shows.
