Off-topic, but I'm having trouble remembering the details; does anyone remember a fight from awhile back where an Asian MMA fighter with unnatural hair (bleached blonde, IIRC) won via flying knee-kick? I know I remember seeing this video, but cannot for the life of me remember who the two fighters were, though I can totally picture the Asian fighter in my head. Help? :ohdear:

Winning by a decision like that was super surprising. I don't like him as a person but that was an amazing performance and TJ/Cody is going to rule extremely hard.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was once the largest and fastest hauling iron ore tanker on the Great Lakes. Now it's most famous for sinking and being the subject of a song, much like Ronda will soon be most famous for losing badly and the memes that sprung up around that and not being the best WMMA fighter thus far.

That's interesting, and very clever. Although even after a Wikipedia session I confess to being extremely surprised that so many people get the reference. I have never heard of Gordon lightfoot, the ship, the wreck, or the number of crew that lost their lives. Sorry for the derail.

Like ive said in the past the UFC model has been gradually changing. Its why there was a move to clean all the stupid sponsors out, try to clean out the wife bashers and druggos and then clean up the production and crews so you can package it and sell it to networks.

I think in a year or two from now we'll have an additional weight class and only get 6 or 7 ppvs a year. The fight cards will be smaller instead of 10 we'll get 5 or so and they'll be something like "Thursday night fights" with TUF and its finale getting a format update theres probably going to be a weekly show with a panel of fighters and some dipshit host analysing the world of mma.

The fight cards will be annoying to watch because like prelims and nfl and nba and every other american sport they'll be jammed with advertising.

Why Goldie had to go I dunno probably to get someone who works with WME shoehorned in alongside Rogan.

Like nfl broadcasts they'll want it more vanilla. I just hope if they're trying to make it more family friendly or something with a gray man boring play by play guy like Joe Buck we see a serious blood bath in the first fight on the first show so they cant paint over it like they do on some fox cards.

Could be funny too because Joe Rogan has gently caress you money and would probably call their guy out on stupid poo poo live on air.

PolitiFact's review of UFC 207

Dominick Cruz claimed that he would "bust all over" rival Cody Garbrandt's face. We rate this claim as mostly true. Cruz did engage in a simulated gay sex act (a 25 minute long mixed martial arts contest) however he did not climax. Despite this it should be recognised that he did attempt to drag his partner forcibly to the ground multiple times, though for his part Garbrandt seemed content to simply flirt and perform northern Californian mating dances.

Much of Cody Garbrandt's campaign was focused on the central claim that he was going to swallow Cruz's cum with relish. We rate this claim "liar liar pants on fire", as when he was on the cusp of finishing Cruz, he instead backed off and seemingly had little if any interest in his loads.

Gordon Lightfoot is an awesome artist and he really captures that Canadian Country folk sound well so it's worth listening to him.

Oh, the year was two thousand and sixteen
(How I wish I weren't at Glendale now)
When a title shot came from Dana White
To entice me to return and fight
God drat them all
I was told we'd strap my waist with ten ounces of gold
I'd take no strikes, wouldn't look like meat
Now I'm a broken ex champ in the Vegas heat
The last of Edmond's golden geese
