if a 20 fight veteran doesn't know how to fight against a southpaw then there are some serious issues.

This isn't new territory for him, Rashad fought against the southpaw Lil Nog and was completely befuddled by the secret boxing technique that Nog employed called a "jab."

$12.95 per strike, only on pay-per-view

Luckily the rest of the PPV was good from what i saw. if the Woodley fight got cancelled instead and it ended with Ferguson/Khabib it would have been a top tier event

Fan man is worried about his brand and doesn't want millennials to misinterpret things and think he likes Tyron Woodley "fights"

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.

Sage northcutt flying in with the fan and rescuing Woodley from having to keep beating up his opponent. Woodley is Drederick Tatum in this scenario not Homer and its based on the Simpsons (my point of reference) more than the real life thing

Because they're a bunch of senile dinosaurs who exist solely to sit around tables and pretend they're doing any loving thing at all, but if they ever resolve to do any work you better believe it's in a far flung future and they fully intend to join Station Casinos before it happens

it was exactly the same except there was one more occurrence of the last minute of the last round. it was so bad i was incredulous they'd do a rematch despite the first ending in a draw.

I hope so. He's 42 and he'd already taken a lifetime's worth of hellacious beatings from LeBanner 15 years ago. But maybe it's for the best if he doesn't retire, because when he stops fighting I can't imagine it being anything other than a bizarre public disaster.
