I very clearly need to catch up on this thread, this is even more amazing then I thought.

Edit: It appears this news goes as far back in the thread as PAGE 3 :staredog:

Some goes back into the March thread, because the April thread didn't come up til like the 3rd, and Tony's knee exploded on April 1, which was part of the weirdness, because we thought it was all some stupid April Fool's joke from a dingus reporter at first.

Hey I'm struggling to think of a better high-level competitive, technical, and entertaining WMMA bout than Namajunas-Jedrezchzrek 2. Maybe Andrade-Gadelha?

Thoughts? Any other bouts come to mind as especially representative of WMMA at its best and most competitive?

I was pretty confident in giving Rose 1 2 and 5, with 4 being close. JJ took over round 3 at almost exactly the half-way point of the round (and the fight), and then Rose made a pretty good adjustment going into round 5.

Matt Lindland (me, sorry for speaking about myself in the 3rd person) is such a perfect ogre... like Matt Hughes or Faber are closer to the platonic Jock but Matt is so wonderfully himself (again, me).

I'm not sure what that conversation was supposed to be about before he went all Jones. Was Tyson trying to figure out what the bad supplement was or something so he could avoid it? And why has it come out today?

The tweet I saw (and didn't save) described a raw/smackdown kind of deal, in which fighters get associated with one network or the other and only cross over that line for PPVs.

It also had some vague thing about fightpass losing the fightpass fights and DWTNCS completely replacing TUF, which is now dead.

Turns out that the source on this is a known shitposter on The Underground, and it was just copied-and-pasted from there. MMALOGIC? Something?

If someone can tell me how to holler into this computer enough that a website happens - I'll promise I can bring fake news headlines in line with the PSP belief system.

Just use twitter. Make an account that's @CaptainLogMMA, put "MMA BREAKING NEWS" into your description, and follow a bunch of people like Helwani. Retweet and start spreading headlines around. That's all there is to it. You don't even need the story, because people don't read the story anyway.

If you want another layer of effort, use MS paint to make fake headline "screenshots."

Looking at those numbers, we actually have enough posters here that we could probably concoct some scheme or scam to put a PSP poster into every executive role for the MMAJA in their next round of elections.

All three judges initially put in the point deduction for the wrong fighter. Or something? Or the person transcribing it hosed up.

Supposedly khabibs team asked for poirier

That's good entertainment and I hope it happens right away. It would wipe away the foul taste of undefended titles and ducking that has plagued the division. Quantitatively, Alvarez should be ahead of him, but there's something satisfying about seeing him sit out and get passed over for a guy who has been more active.

I miss the days when Dodson would decapitate larger opponents with a single big shot and then do a back flip and grin like a loveable dork.

That seems like it was 5 years ago.

It's too bad that Bobby Southworth is a light heavyweight, because if he was smaller the ufc could re-sign Mike Easton and have a four-man welterweight tournament with Sage Northcutt and Sheldon Westcott.

I use Marvel movie trailers for an exercise in one of my writing classes. I've been doing it two to six times per year for about six years now, updating to more recent movies.

Even the loving trailers all follow the same formula with minor variations for each franchise.

He did look great against Cowboy, BUT - I think half of the regulars in the martial arts thread would probably have a 50/50 chance against cowboy, depending on if he'd been drinking, in a motocross accident or struck by lightning that week.

Obviously 50% of the time he decapitates them, but thats cowboy.

Cowboy puts together multiple 4-fight win streaks in a feverishly active UFC career.
