Can somebody tell me what the attraction/appeal of seeing Fighter & The Kid live? Not only is it sold out in Vancouver, they added a second show.

As discussed previously on these threads, Brendan is one of the most gifted physical comedians of his generation so presumably they bring in a mid-tier heavyweight to knock him out in increasingly hilarious ways for the crowd

I have a long drive coming up, so I'll listen to the recap podcast on that. I just hope Eddie Bravo says some conspiracy theory poo poo, because everybody handles his opinions with kid gloves and gently half-disagrees with only the most insane parts. Then the rest of the show he shuts up except to get in some passive-aggressive jabs about conspiracy theories being real and it's funny to hear him pout for 2 and a half hours.

Cody fighting Cruz to a decision win is just bizarre, I can't get my head around it. Why did he not finish him or try to anywhere around those three knockdowns?

Cody's actually still dumb and if the gameplan was to make cruz fight in the middle of the cage and not chase him cody's going to pick up a KOed cruz, set him in the middle of the cage, and do a pushup while cruz wakes back up.

Listen to the fight companion for the last MMDMMMMJ fight. Callen and Eddie bicker for like an hour of it about conspiracy theories and Eddie can't grasp some concepts about people being forced to work.

manyak posted:They played to her strengths with her chin, power, confidence etc and it worked for a while. The notion that she shouldve gone to Jackson's and learned how to dance around on the outside and oblique kick is pretty funny and may have resulted in her losing to like Bethe coreia by decision instead of walking over her. It wouldve been cool to see her at Kings considering she seems to have a knack for landing good knees in the clinch but oh well I wonder if the UFC still pays for her to have an apartment closer to Glendale, because for someone living in Venice it is waaaaaaay easier and faster to drive to Kings.

Jon Bone Jones is claiming 2016 is the first year since high school he's not smoked weed and that he's overcome his reliance on it. He's such a loving knob head I hate him so much.

One of the weird things I noticed about the finish on Rouseys fight is she just kind of reset in her corner after it was stopped like she thought the fight was about to get restarted. https://streamable.com/364pg

Why does she need to retire? She's lost two fights and is 29 years old. What she needs to do is fight more often and not take weirdo breaks where she gets fat and depressed for a year It's not like WMMA is loving crawling with talent, man. If Ronda leaves it'll be a big blow to WMMA no matter what, so I definitely hope she stays

From her POV, she should retire because she's got options, whether its movies, TV shows, or whatever. Even if those have all dried up, she's very wealthy and no longer needs to get punched in the face for money.

Dan henderson lost 15 times before he retired Ronda needs to stay. It's weird that fans want her to retire because she's rich and 'got options'. Every single fight of hers has been great, I want her to stick around

When did Robbie get kicked out and come back? I feel like Ronda could definitely return and go on a tear but it's predicated on her ability to recognize where she's lacking and get the gently caress away from Edmund.

My point is I don't think she's some wrecked shambling ghost of her former self who has suffered so much braindamage that she can no longer be competitive So MY vote is she should keep fighting

I never want to watch Ronda fight again unless she drastically changes her approach to fighting. Seeing her return from a devastating loss where her many flaws were exposed to doing the exact same thing after a long layoff is frustrating, and now that people have the blueprint to beat her I think it'll just keep happening.

Even if Ronda want to come back, she's in a weird position. She makes too much to be fighting in anything but the main event but she doesn't deserve to be there anymore

Ronda is probably still perfectly capable of judo throwing 90% of the division and subbing them, but kind of like the Rogan recap said, it's no good enough in the 2016 onwards era to be a part time fighter in a specialist camp with bad trainers. You can't be the best at everything, but you need to be good enough at everything so that the things you're not good at aren't even an issue and she's not at that level or even close. If she's not willing to go to a camp that's going to kick her rear end and show her something new every single day, with no hero worship or movies, she might as well retire because there's nothing left in MMA for her. She'd never share a camp with Holm because of who she is barring a miracle, but she'd improve leaps and bounds at Jacksons.
