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.
Reading the symptoms this seems much worse than a concussion and that further testing is needed means they don't know yet whats going on which is much scarier.

Mark Coleman is in the news as a direct witness to Jim Jordan covering up rape at Ohio State

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/brennan/2018/07/05/why-president-trump-defending-jim-jordan-ohio-state-scandal/762219002/

Mark Coleman, another former Ohio State wrestler and a former UFC world champion, told The Wall Street Journal that Jordan was aware of the abuse and did not take action.
“There’s no way unless he’s got dementia or something that he’s got no recollection of what was going on at Ohio State,” said Coleman, who said he was Jordan’s roommate on several competition trips.

They're saying Coleman's a liar and a fraud.

this entire thing revoles around believing Lorenzo was the reason UFC was UFC and not Joe Silva, but at least it correctly identifies Dana as being a useless gently caress

Joe Silva's intense hatred of Akiyama was a thing of beauty. I still have a hard time believing that Vitor/Akiyama was a thing that happened.

I entirely forgot about Akiyama losing his way into harder and harder fights it was so awesome.

Why are UFC titles such a loving joke and why can't the roster stay healthy? Like as a casual viewer those are two major things that I feel like are holding the UFC back.

Well see UFC wanted to not emulate boxing by having titles diluting divisions.

They they got Conor and got sold and went all in EVERYONES GOTTA BE A STAR AND CHAMPIONS ARE STARS SO EVERYONES A CHAMPION

Who deserves blame for Alvarez's loss? Mark Henry, Alvarez's coach, says it should be on him.

"If you're going by fault, [on a scale of] one to 10, I'd give it a thousand -- my fault," Henry said on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show on Monday. "I'd say definitely it was my fault."

Video of the pivotal sequence, which took place right in front of Alvarez's corner, shows Henry yelling for his fighter to throw elbows, and in doing so, the coach motions in the illegal 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock angle.

"The first gesture you can see from me is 100 percent the wrong gesture," Henry said. "I wanted him to know we wanted elbows. The second [gesture], you can see me kind of slapping the inside of my elbow. That's the elbow I wanted." Video shows Alvarez briefly looking toward his corner as Henry was making the first elbow gesture. Then he threw the illegal blow, and referee Marc Goddard halted the action and stood the fighters up.

"I wish he would have given us a warning," Henry said of Goddard, whom he nonetheless described as "an amazing referee" and "one of the best."

The coach acknowledged that the call was correct.

"I'm not stupid -- you can't do a 12-6," Henry said. "But it is what I showed. Eddie did look at me at the time. It's 1,000 percent my fault. It's a shame. I definitely let Eddie down and my team down."
