Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.

david carmichael posted:

they tried to do this a few years ago and it led to all the major cards falling apart and the worst ppv year in a long time. its a dumb way to do things but whatever.

I forget if that was 2012 or 2014 but one of those years saw like every good main even fall through due to injury and the total buyrates barely broke 3 million.

Aldo has changed his mind and wants to fight in early 2017. The UFC refused to give him an unconditional release when he met with them, and whatever it is he wants to do is not possible while under contract, so he says he has "no choice but to fight".

Conor didn't get to have his way with 200 despite having all the leverage, not sure why Aldo thought he could get away with whatever he's trying to do.

Woodley: "i'm not mad people booed me it just surprised me, i looked back at th e stuff i've done and i don't think i should be booed"
Wonderboy: "my dad took me to UFC 3 in north carolina and that's when I knew I wanted to fight in UFC"
*reporter asks Karolina a question but she has dropped off the call* Joanna: "I can answer for her, "I am very happy but Joanna is the best", thank you."

I watched the preview of 205 UFC put up and goddamn I still can't believe how insane that 13 second KO was.

That KO has been talked about to death, but one of the things I liked about that moment was for a brief minute or two McGregor broke character and went over to Aldo and acted like a normal person. I think he put his hand on his shoulder and tried to talk to him briefly. Not sure what he told him, but probably tried to take the edge of getting KO'd in 13 seconds after having not lost for ten years. He also told him that they could "do it again" while standing with Big John waiting for the decision to be announced.

Joanna is the best, but Karolina is the bestest and she will win the title after Joanna breaks her hand and has to retire after beating KK up too much.

psa my favourite fighter that never fights (lightweight) magomedov is fighting beniel dariush this weekend. he's an incredible striker and i can't wait to see him thoroughly outclass a guy but not finish him earning him max derision points from the commentary team.

Rocky isn't a complex fighter. She's tough as nails and always comes forward. If you plan around it you win but if you try to stand and bang you're probably going to get put on your rear end where she'll try to rip your head off with a bulldog choke.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
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.
What a heel.

Was it her or the other person Holm scraped by that dropped Holly when she was playing keep-away?

Yeah, Rocky had trouble finding her range against Holm's rangey circling-away AISH punches and push kicks, but she started to connect at the very end of the second. In the third she not only got a knockdown from a right hand but she overall won the round easily
