Memento posted:gently caress yes That article is likely what caused this. You can't write a widely shared article called "why I will probably die doing my job" and not expect your employer to take steps to make sure they don't have that on their hands, it's bad PR.

i'm siding with the ufc on this one mark. even though your next fight is a guaranteed w with little risk of significant additional trauma, you can't say that poo poo if you want to work.

quote:markhuntfighter. I spent hours the other day with the doctors I was cleared to fight the interview I did with players voice was misquoted I don't slur my words and is a is a running joke between my wife and me my memory isn't that great but who remembers poo poo they dont want to not good @ufc @danawhite quote:markhuntfighter. "I'm disappointed that I have been withdrawn from the fight, I have passed all medicals 2 days ago. And spent 100,000 on camp. The truth is the legal case I have filed has caused me to be withdrawn. The interview has been taken out of context and want to reassure all my fans, I slur my words only when I have a drink I'm fit and healthy, and would have understood if the UFC requested a medical to ensure my safety, however this is total bullshit gently caress you Dana, you've always hated me you dog" Didn't that article come out a long time ago? 100K seems like a lot to spend on a training camp.

And 100k is probably hyperbole but the cost of living in Australia is higher, I could see it being in the mid-high 5-figure range. Plus KFC is expensive as gently caress.

Memento posted:I remember thinking "man Cain gives up like 40 pounds and 4 inches of reach to Brock Lesnar, plus I think Brock has the better wrestling, I really don't see Cain getting this". I'd been saying Cain would demolish Brock for a long time to casual friends who love big muscly men and I had a poo poo eating grin on for a week when talking to them after what I said would happen happened Iirc most pros were picking Cain too; it wasn't advanced science, especially after Brock's wrestling got stuffed by Carwin easily until Carwin got tired

Ratios and Tendency posted:Eddie Alvarez? Christ you are dumb. Aaand they have both fought Nate. RDA beat Nate every bit as one-sidedly as Conor beat Eddie. The only way to determine who would win between RDA and Conor, therefore, is to have Eddie fight Nate and then apply math.

ROFLburger posted:Does anyone know what the due process is for Jon Jones? What's next? I haven't heard much about what's next as far as hearing for him to explain which Gatorade had Turinabol in it or whatever It took four months from the positive test before 200 to him being suspended. Considering this positive test was announced on the 23rd August, it could be Christmas before there's some action on this one.

Skip My Posts posted:Yeah I think it would be a cool matchup. I wouldn't count either guy out. Conor is good at getting up but if RDA got him down I think he could keep him there Is Conor good at getting up? What are we basing that on? It can't be the Diaz fights. I guess you could count the Mendez fight, but I don't know why you would. CarlCX posted:The most indicative thing you can say about Cain as a fighter is dude's a two-time heavyweight champion with two defenses who knocked out everyone he beat except Kongo, lost twice to champions and avenged one of those losses so brutally everyone forgot it happened, and the general impression of his career is still one of tragically wasted potential. It's kind of the same narrative as Shogun or Penn. Great career, but what could have been, if only X. Ratios and Tendency posted:Eddie Alvarez? Christ you are dumb. Eddie Alvarez and Nate Diaz. You don't even have to watch fights, you could just go off Wikipedia. RDA easily trounced Nate, nearly TKOing him with leg kicks, while Conor struggled with him. Conversely, Conor beat Alvarez about as thoroughly and brutally as anyone has beaten anyone, while RDA got clipped by Eddie and finished early on. Just to make it even more annoying, both guys have extenuating circumstances for the loss. Conor had a late change of opponent (despite his bullshit about not specifically preparing for people, he absolutely does) and RDA hosed up his weight cut. It's a fight that'll never happen because a thousand people will parrot 'he hurt his foot and pulled out'

Trast posted:I expect Jones and his camp will make every attempt to fight the test results. I would be more surprising if they didn't given the money on the line for potential fights. I'm sure they will, but testing positive for Oral Turinabol is a real smoking gun on this one. It's an incredibly specific drug to test positive for and because it was the big thing that East Germany used for their state-sponsored doping programs it's very well know to the testing laboratories. There's no other reason it would be in a fighter's system apart from "they're a dirty cheat". There are no pharmaceutical manufacturers of it, so the only way to get it is underground from dodgy Chinese research chemical labs.

I'm busting my brain trying to think how Penn or Shogun could have had better careers. Penn's biggest problem was lack of competition at 145/155 which made him do things like fight at heavyweight. Shogun even came back to win the UFC title after getting written off as washed up. The only thing there is to say about those guys is that they peaked really young.
