So my process for getting some of those gifs up there to embed was:

- find a tweet with a gif OR find an oddshot/streamable link from reddit
- find a shady "download video" website and download them
- upload the resulting mp4 to youtube
- use imgur.com/vidgif to convert them to something that will autoplay on the forums
- delete the private video off youtube

Not good enough, says youtube's auto content ID system!



I'm sure there's an easier way to do this and I'm just being a doofus about it.

edit: Also, Embedded 4 is up.

Gifs are old and busted.
Make WebMs with "WebM for Retards" (this is the actual name of the program)
https://gitgud.io/nixx/WebMConverter

It's a piece of piss and WebM's are better quality image, better framerate and smaller filesize. They embed for me just by posting the URL in the reply box, though that could be a SALR feature.

The last time they considered MM vs TV was at 135 and MM was angling for a superfight payday, I imagine he's doing the same thing here and I don't blame him. He has a chance to make a huge payday for probably the first time in his career.

Embedded episode 5 is out and Karolina is the best :allears:

I don't know why he didn't kick Max. He threw one kick iirc. Thought that would be Aldo's path to victory, kicking Max's lead foot.

For all the talk of Aldo's leg kicks every single time he fights, it's a weapon he has abandoned for the most part pretty long ago. He barely ever throws them anymore.

DJ is such a focused fighter that he stayed on point and didn't even bring up the major loss in income from Reebok loving his XBox deal. Even in promotional slapfighting, the dude has no flaws.

the fact he doesn't have and can't get enough clout to make the UFC budge an inch is a pretty huge flaw

he doesnt have a lot of charisma. you could say its because hes short and bald too but road cyclist marco pantani was similarly short and bald and he has roadside shrines, statues, works of art etc dedicated to him dotted all over continental europe. personally mr johnson doesnt leave much of an impression on me though i do like to watch his fights

Cycling is a huge sport to Italians (and Euros) in a way that MMA will never be to Americans though. There aren't really weight divisions in cycling either and Pantani was really fuckin' good.
Oh, and Pantani is dead, which sort of helps in building a legend. Also he was 5'8.

The answer is that DJ is 5ft 3, doesn't talk poo poo and the average punter wants to see fat fuckers throw 4 punches and then gas instead of a masterclass in martial arts.

I can't remember a single time he's talked poo poo.

dana said conor is the #1 p4p fighter, theyve been thinking about shutting down flyweight for 3 years and he never threatened mighty mouse with closing the division. lol

the problem with conor being p4p #1 fighter is that he doesn't actually do the fighting bit

Almost definitely yes. They wear big helmets so the can slam their heads and be slammed in the head "without harm" but they found in amateur boxing that the helmets actually contribute to concussion rather than dampen it and there's no reason to believe that it's much different for gridiron helms.


Though I wonder if there are studies that compare American Football with Rugby in terms of concussion likelihood.

There's at least this thing with some stats but it's not super deep or whatever

Yeah, it's one of his defining characteristics. Jim and Matt really don't seem to follow MMA that much except on a surface level, so I think of them as being ignorant as opposed to being straight shills for the UFC.

Matt Serra is a former UFC champion and actively trains some of the most talented MMA fighters on the planet. I think he might just follow MMA closely.

DJ should have taken the Dillashaw fight.

It's not right they screw him and that they're basically his puppet masters but not taking it, reasons justifiable as they are, makes him look like a wuss who only wants his record.
