Yeah I didn't mention it then but that post was beautiful and I felt compelled to quote it in a "jon jones is dumb" fb group I'm in....which might be made of all goons but I can't keep track of peoples usernames much less real ones.

Northjayhawk posted:PVZ is nowhere near ready. They have said many times that they are taking it slow with her. She'll probably fight some other top-15 a couple times, than maybe a top-5. She's not close to a title shot. Exactly this, Plus she still has two years to become the UFC's youngest champion. I think it's inevitable that she'll fight Torres before she gets the title shot, since Torres beat PVZ in Invicta, and that should be an entertaining fight.

Dangersim posted:The first 2 rounds are Anderson clowning like he's never clowned before, and talking poo poo while embarrassing Maia and it's super entertaining. He even does a Machida impression at one point. Just turn it off after round 2, because the last 3 rounds are him doing absolutely nothing to the point the ref threatened to take a point for passivity. Oh wow! Why was Maia not warned for passivity? Would it not require both of them to be cagey?

Maia was actually trying very hard but was quite gassed and his standup was so basic he couldn't cover ground or cut Anderson off, their reach difference was also very apparent. Even with that, Maia started like boxer-size step chasing Anderson around desperately trying to land while Anderson dodged and evaded. The moral of the story is its remarkably hard to have a unilateral fight.

Lmao, a few days ago Joe Rogan had right wing blogger guy Chuck C Johnson on his show and had a rather highminded and long discussion about what black people should be doing. Chuck has your average right wing bloggers rap sheet and they are both lily white rich dudes so people took offense. Joe was on twitter defending the whole thing, said he takes in all views and wants to have discussion with people across the political spectrum. Always one to help, today Chuck posts on twitter "You can't spell triggering without friend of the family. Coincidence?"

The best part was it was the first (and so far, only) card held in Abu Dhabi (whose government owns a 10 percent stake in Zuffa) in a purpose-built stadium that was torn down after the event was over. If I remember correctly, the rest of the card was actually pretty damned entertaining. Maia/Andy entertained me, but Dana was loving understandably apoplectic at the main event and grumbling about making Silva fight on the Facebook prelims or cutting him. Silva acted like a clown because Maia had a privileged upbringing and because Demien said he was going "to take one of the spider's legs". Really.

And then Doug Crosby (I think) trolled Sherdog a couple days later with his statement about how he judged the fight. I think Davis beat Gus too? Grove got murdered. I remember that. Gonna hafta look back at that card.

It was pretty gross but chuck knows how to hide most of his freak flag. The worst moments were him insisting there's a gene that makes black people more violent (joe did a verbal double take but didnt follow up), a lot of misogynistic weirdness and a part where the two of them were laughing about a boardroom of all white starbucks admins talking about black people.....after a 45 minute long discussion about black people. Honestly in the "wow you really hate some people for dumb reasons" race to the bottom I thought his last one with adam corrola was worse.

Also Dana promised that he would make it up to the fans in the UAE by ensuring that the next card there would be totally stacked, then didn't return for another four years, with a Fight Night card consisting of 8 matches headlined by Big Country vs the ghost of Big Nog.

The one fight that sticks out to me from 112 aside from the title fights was Matt Hughes kicking Renzo's leg off. Think that was the first leg kick-induced TKO I can remember seeing.

Really. munoz/grove is one of those super intense violent brawls that's somehow forgotten. it's an absolutely insane round and a half. e: also the anderson/maia match up was about way more than some stupid comments. bjj is a rich dude's sport even in brazil. lily white people like maia are generally better off than black people in brazil (in fact I think maia specifically comes from money).

So I guess Doug Crosby didn't alert the AC for the Iaquinta/Masvidal fight that he had a grudge with Longo's team, and in fact signed something saying he never had any issue with them. Included in the article is this gem:MMAfighting.com posted:As further evidence of a potential conflict of interest, Longo also said he received an insulting letter from Crosby at his LAW MMA facility in December 2013. Longo said surveillance footage showed that the letter was dropped off by a man Crosby refers to as his nephew. It also was not the first time Crosby had sent a derogatory correspondence, Longo said. This sport is beautiful.

I'd be mad but frankly I'm impressed that a mma/boxing judge might be aware enough of his surroundings to recognize a fighter by his camp and connect him to the coach he has beefs with.

Hahaha loving Crosby. And because I spoke of the devil earlier this page, I did go find his crazy rant on the UG after the Frankie/BJ fight at Abu Dhabi. The whole thing is included in this link to Fight Opinion. Relive the crazy as new idiocy comes out.
