I dont know. I wonder what kind of wheels hes going to have

Nobody knows, right? I think that actually makes it a brilliant choice. They don't derail anyone's hype train and they get a look at what Anderson Silva can give them in a fight that has name appeal.

I mean, assuming Diaz shows up for his required poo poo. I think I am a fan of that knucklehead, but I understand why Dana White would express his frustration.

Come to think of it, that's another way it makes sense. If Silva comes back en fuego he will beat the poo poo out of a thorn in the UFC paw. If Silva looks bad it doesn't really make Diaz look that good and everybody wins if they both pull off a corker.

Silva vs Diaz in Brazil please. I want Nick to miss weigh ins because nobody told him what time zone they're in. I want him to mean mug a hostile crowd.

Nick would probably get a hero's welcome in Brazil. He can't wrestle, has endless, unjustifiable loyalty to the shithole he was born in, and gives no fucks if the excuses he makes are even slightly believable.

couldn't an mma website request an interview with the ref assigned to do Gustafsson/Jones II and casually ask him, "so those finger pokes Jones does in every fight are weird, huh?"

it might plant a seed in the ref's mind to do something about it.

Sounds like a job for the fine journalism folks at BloodyFinger.com

I've decided the UFC needs a reverse standup rule. If two fighters are being super tentative on the feet and not engaging or failing to generate effective offense, they're placed on the ground in an indian leg wrestling position in the center of the octagon. This rule takes effect after the first minute of the fight passes.

I really hope Silva/Diaz happens because there is no result that could not be hilarious and/or amazing.

e: also TKZ is probably coming back August/September and wants Lamas, who wants to fight sooner against Poirier or Bermudez, while Bermudez wouldn't mind fighting TKZ.

all of these fights own

Actually you could match up just about anyone in the top 15 of the featherweight division and it would own except for Clay Guida.

I think they're doing another card in Macau in late August, I would love to see them book TKZ/Kawajiri to headline.

This isn't a new idea. It is however, a fairly bad idea. I don't think tentative stand-up is a problem at all, certainly not enough to warrant making a new rule.

Would goons be interested in contributing to a gofund to benefit the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights in Gustafsson's name for that fight, if I checked the proper channels and got approval for it?

A google search for gay Swedish charities tells me they have a government office anti-discrimination group called HomO though and that's a pretty good name, so I will have to do some research.

Funny but ultimately more expensive and doesn't really benefit anyone but Jon Jones (financially).

Sprecherscrow posted:

Also a good option I considered, but if Gus has less lovely opinions about gay people than Jones and his people get back to me should I ask and are agreeable, it'd be good PR for Our Guy In This Fight.

The Rashad gif is particularly bad. At least for most of them Jones is kind of faking it by being palm up - in that one he is just straight up extending his fingers at Rashad's eyes.
