the ufc just isn't the same without fighters like condom depot and safeauto (can't remember their real names)

I used to see the SafeAuto commercials and think "wow that must be for really poor idiots" then I saw who they sponsored in the UFC and it confirmed my thoughts.

Should all of us that know how to cook go move in with fighters?

Also, has any champ flamed out as bad as Hendricks over an extended number of fights?

Ronda

Her post title sample is too small but I get what you're saying.

Sure its only one (or two?) fights but everything else has been far notable in terms of a flame out. Losing movie deals, her mom making GBS threads all over her and her coaching staff etc.

Like when PVZ said she got screamed at by Ronda for saying "Congrats to Holly Holm" for Holly winning a fight, somehow that meant PVZ hated Ronda in Ronda's mind.

Ronda is pretty weird because I think she sure as gently caress could still be a champ but everything related to her competing makes her literally psychotic.

She is pretty high up the list, but not in Big Rigg territory.

Nor is she close to her beau, Travis Browne, in terms of floundering I guess.

Anderson is one of my main men, but Chael was Gastelum's coach and is taking a page directly from his coaches' playbook. "Shoot for the title or shoot for the easiest, highest paying fight possible."

That "Legend's rear end Whoopin' Tour" Gastelum mentioned was lifted directly from Chael in a cool way.

Chael should honestly be giving lessons on how to trash talk. So many fighters are so bad at it, they make themselves look like dopes while trying to dig in on another fighter.

He is going to be on Conan O'brian (who is now a micro owner of the UFC) to announce something on the 15th

If this is true, then it could be Mayweather/McGregor. Though I'm not sure I'd want to watch that, or think it'll be the announcement.

He'll be promoting his Netflix show and maybe announcing Bisping/GSP's date.

I just Google'd this to figure out which show. I don't dislike the show but I kind of got tired of it.

I don't think it's as easy as that, but at the same time fighters don't even do the bare minimum.

I feel if you spend enough time with Chael, you'll pick up his style and methods of trash talking via osmosis.

joe rogan fight companion condensed to 13 seconds

I enjoyed Joe getting annoyed and laying down the law about Callen giving Eddie booze during it.

"He's a gremlin. you can't give him poo poo after a certain hour or else all hell breaks loose."

Also re: those guys leaving the UFC from that tweet, am I the only one who doesn't really care about any of them? Maybe Bader I can see for "he's a good talent" but he's also not been a guy able to push past that final hurdle to get a title shot.

Edit - His temper tantrum to try and McGregor a title a shot against DC at the post fight press conference was funny though.

Edit 2 - I take that back, Horiguchi and Larkin are a loss but WW is pretty thick right now iirc, and Flyweight is sort of a ghost town with Sheriff Johnson in charge.

My opinion is they should measure the size of the fighters balls. That's a much better indicator in knowing who is a better fighter.

I didn't see the slowmo afterwards and it was very fast but I didn't realise he had been ragdolled. The UFC have the KO up on twitter but it won't load for me to watch :saddowns:

The thing they have on their Twitter I'm seeing (on the @UFC account) is just Manuwa strutting around after the knockout.

The sickest part of this is you can see Dariush jabbing and shooting from further out each time due to the leg kicks, which ends up giving Barboza all the time he needs.

The takedown attempt right before the last one he's right inside of clinching range. The first and last one are definitely far out but to say "he was shooting further and further out" is incorrect.

I was leaving a Buffalo Wild Wings outside of St. Louis after a fight in 2011 or so and got handed a flyer from someone about a local gym hosting Randy Couture, and the gate to that was something like $120, but at least it included a copy of his book and probably a lesson on elbowing a punching bag or something.

I mean if its a seminar or whatever that's a fairly normal price. If it's just a meet & greet then lol.

Also at the Arnold Classic in 2010, Mark Coleman was charging $10 an autograph. How greedy.
