my working theory for the presence of squeaky, overjoyed cormier is that joe and DC took some mdma before the fight

no chance unless joe slipped him some. dc is the type of guy to conflate legality with morality

DC sounds giddy-drunk. Maybe just an overgrown baby

He's been stuck in his hotel room since Wednesday of last week, since he worked the last event too, he loving had a TV delivered to him from Walmart just to have a bigger screen to play NBA 2k on. (which he intends to return when he's done with it, lmao)

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?


it would be funny since he could literally influence judging since everyone there can hear the commentary team, but I wouldnt bet on it going 5 rounds so :shrug:

Pro fighters are allowed to bet on the results of their own fights in Vegas, so kinda double :shrug:

Man he's 20, what are you going to do. He's at least 6-8 years away from his physical peak.

i meant pathetic in the sympathetic sense of the word, but I hear you. not trying to be too critical it's just apparent it's an area where he can improve

It's a bad matchup. 31 year old with 30+ fights against a 20 year old with 9. Even if the 20 year old is the most amazing prodigy, the experience gap is enormous.

DC getting mixed up about which Teymur brother Chase fought is pretty funny. Also they need to stop calling him "the kid".

Cool to see he's tough as poo poo. Just needs to fight in a less competitive league and develop a little striking and strength.

Also maybe move away from Enumclaw, Washington to anywhere else.

Caceras just took it easy on him after the first round and pretty much that first knockdown. He could have murdered that dude.

Yeah I was rooting for Chase to win but -220 seemed like bad odds, realistically.

I imagine he feels quite vindicated after those odds. Would another loss have sent him out of the league?
