The best poo poo talker is of course Chris Weidman.

I don't think any other fighter comes close to talking about poo poo as often as he does.

Allow me to exonerate Charles Manson posthumously. I mean, it just doesn't make sense for anyone to convince a group of impressionable young people to mercilessly slaughter celebrities. Like who the gently caress would even do that poo poo?

the American government not bothering to check what's in the supplements its citizens are putting into their mouths and its refusal to punish bad actors because it might be bad for the bottom line is definitely a great example of why this country is trash. if we had a functioning free market economy where information was actually available to consumers, instead of a situation where firms could operate under government approved obscurantism until they kill someone, Jon Jones would likely still be fighting.

I do expect the supp market to be a lot less wild wild west once Orrin Hatch leaves the senate because a lot of. This is due to legislation he's fiercely protective of that prevents these companies from ever facing any liability. This is because he represents corporations from Utah where the huge supply of young dudes comfortable going door to door selling people religion has made Utah the MLM capital of the world for companies like lifevantage or whatever and regulating them would be Bad for Business.

America is a lootocracy and this is a great example of why

Penne has been suspended for 18 months for steroids. She was apparently taking some supplement at the direction of a doctor who was unfamiliar with the needs of UFC athletes. She tried to get a retroactive TUE, but couldn't get it because that supplement was not medically necessary.

The record-holder is a three-round fight :staredog:

With two more rounds, Diaz may have punched Cowboy once for every day of the year.

Hulk Hogan has been the racist sex-tape Gawker-suer guy for so long, I'd forgotten he's also a giant wrestle monster. Next to the Hulk, Joe Roan looks like a special effect in the middle of being shrunk down to go fight HIV in Georges St-Pierre's bloodstream.

Wrestlers look normal next to each other and ridiculous compared to anyone else. First place I trained was split in the middle and the other half was Booker T's wrestling school. Hell of a nice guy but him walking into the room always felt kind of surreal.

Khabib so far has shown to be the paper to everyone's rock. No one has even close to had an answer for him. He blankets everyone with unrelenting pressure.

I figured that was a better analogy as soon as I was done posting.

And yeah Khabib just mauls everyone but I feel like a guy whose main offense is kick, kick, and kick again is especially susceptible to Khabib's game.

No, the most tired gimmick is the one where you continually comment saying it’s a gimmick. Piss off.

Saying I’ll continue to fight cans unless you put me on a big card (because I can’t draw for poo poo) is a bitch move from someone claiming to be the “best”.

You're as predictably obnoxious as Shumagorath is with Conor. Anytime Mighty Mouse is mentioned you drop down from the rafters to declare him a cowardly bitch. It's weirdly obsessive.
