Commission vetoed Bethe Correia from being able to fight because of an eye surgery she recieved last year. I'd just like to apologize to all commissions, I've said some unkind things in the past, but they really came through for me on this one.

It was a balance of pay, and that he wanted to spend more time in Ukraine near his family. It was almost the exact same situation as Horiguchi, except with ruples.

Hey guys. I’ve finally made the push to get off all forums and social media which hopefully will stick but hey who knows. I’m going to go auto ban this account after this so I’m not tempted to do this again. I just wanted to stop by and say thanks to everyone for posting with me for all these years, and that this is a great community. And I’d also like to say gently caress Mighty Mouse midget rear end toddler lookin bitch! The only place this guys going to be complaining about not being promoted at is GameStop! Gwa ha ha ha!

That fight literally turned a few of my friends off the UFC for life. They gave it a shot and boy did Guida ruin that.

It's best to avoid post-Jacksons Guida and just stick to hanging out with big brother, hitting nails with hammers, and belching continuously Guida.

This is what we've come to. The second in line has to prepare as if he's the first in line because there's a high probability, based on historicals, that everything will go to poo poo at the last second.

And of course it sucks all the fighters are making less money because of the deal. I'm sure it isn't the most motivating thing to know your sponsorship payout is like 500 bucks and a half off coupon for a pack of Reebok athletic underwear.

It really depends on the arena. I got ‘cheap’ seats for the Perth Australia show earlier this year, and they were great. But stadiums with other configurations are going to be different.

Have you been to anything at that arena in Lincoln before?

I don't know that arena, but I've been to a lot of fights. The best view tends to be one that puts you either on the same level as the cage floor or angled slightly above, with diminishing returns the further up into the nosebleeds you go. On the upside, there will be screens at UFC-level events so you can watch the broadcast view if the camera guy is blocking your eye-line or whatever.

I used to get floor table seats with my team back home, which is actually a horrible vantage point unless you're right up next to the apron of the cage/ring. We used to take turns running up into the stands to get video when our teammates were fighting because trying to film from the table was useless.

From what I've been able to find, Andrea Lee got her nickname because one of her coaches thought she looked Russian.

There has to be a 9 card sub-series of just classic MMA tattoos.

If Aleks's grim reaper holding a baby (namesake of my band's most hosed-up song, "Grim Reaper Holding a Baby") isn't in there, GTFO.

Oh yes, bonus if just the suit is holofoil.

I want a full 9-card page of Buffer in foil suits. It'd be even better than the X-Men 2099 red foils from the 1993 Marvel set. (Oh god, my nerd is showing.)

Lawler vs Steve Thomson targeted for January

Can't wait to see "Wonderman" scuttle around like a cowardly crab, not wanting to ever engage

We can only hope Robbie is still young enough to have some moves, but I feel like he's going to try and use some kind of old man wisdom to Machida his way through an extremely boring fight that he wins by split decision based on having thrown 3 strikes to Wonderboy's 2.

Bruce Buffer hit on my boyfriend's then-wife and was completely unrepentant when someone pointed out she was married. But said boyfriend also has no bad things to say about Buffer besides that, so...

i can imagine no greater honour than to be cucked by bruce buffer

That's kind of how he sees it. I mean, if I got hit on by Bruce Buffer, I would expect him to give Buffer a fist bump and tell him he has good taste, and I would also be flattered as long as it didn't go any further than that.
