Remember when Helwani's babysitter played an April fool's joke on him which consisted of telling him that she lost his kid and couldn't find him lmao

unless the treatment and diagnosis algorithms have been changed in the last couple of years you're not allowed to diagnose an adult patient with coeliac disease without getting a tissue biopsy (that is to say, hosed by a camera). the blood tests are pretty decent, but there's a shitload of quackery going on (iirc dennis hallman never actually got any of the proper tests done, he sent a sample of his poo poo in the mail to some probably scam website) so when diego says he got a blood test i'll wait until he says he got a blood test from an actual doctor because otherwise there's a good chance that next year diego says it was all wrong for him and now he's going to fight at a new weight class and everything is great now

Didn't Mike Swick take a bunch of time off because he was mistakenly diagnosed with celiac disease and was put on a diet which left him with like zero energy to train? Or am I misremembering.

pretty much every swede on planet earth has this same type of dry humor where they don't make jokes but say increasingly ridiculous poo poo in deadpan tones, then laugh at you when you go 'wait, really?' the point of swedish humor is for the joke-teller to laugh at you, not the other way around and it's insanely hosed up.

He's been talking about retirement for awhile now. I know it never happens but I wish athletes would get out before the damage is all done. And not get out the Detroit Lion way where they squander your entire career.

nah he was diagnosed with gerd (acid reflux) which is incredibly simple and easy to treat and then was like "medication!? no way man, there has to be another way" and then ended up getting botox injections in his oesophagus. weirdly, he then had problems with his oesophageal muscles

Oh yeah, as a dude who constantly had (not very good) doctors go "nah just take a bunch of muscle relaxants and pain killers instead of actually going to physical therapy and getting it fixed" I understand the sentiment. But when "Medication? No way!" is followed up by "gently caress yeah injections in my throat!" it makes me laugh

I'm guessing he was diagnosed by a Mike Dolce podcast.

So I'm planning on going to ufc199. Has anyone been to a ufc event at the staples center? Trying to figure out the best tickets. I know some people have said ring side isnt the best but one section back is the good seats (also half the price)? I have fight club elite or whatever its called so I will get early access to tickets on april 6th. I dont mind paying $200 - $400 a ticket for sweet seats. Any other insights would be appreciated, its babies first ufc.

My pops is getting said biopsy done for Coeliac Disease when the NHS get off their arse but I didn't know it'd involve him getting hosed by a camera so I'm not sure whether to laugh or not.

One level up from floor 10-15 rows in is the optimal seating. You look down into the cage but are still close enough to see everything. Floor level you sit below the cage, like eye level with the mat so your view kinda sucks. If you like to see and be seen floor seats are the best. If you really want to watch the fights sit one section up.

10-15 rows in on the 2nd section.

I should clarify, I don't know specifically regarding the Staples Center. But I've been to every UFC venue in Vegas and that has always been the best seating arrangement.
