I, too, wish Cassius Clay would just shut up and fight.

To clarify: i don’t mean to compare a bunch of brain damaged protofacists to Ali, but did want to make the point that sports - including combat sports - are contested in a political context.

Can we please have political stance breakdowns in future gameday thread posts under each fighter so I know how it needs to influence my fight picks

I don't want to make bad choices in this bold new world

Its probably just safe to assume that every fighter is a MAGA chud, and then stop caring about their politics unless they get obnoxious about it. If you learn that a fighter has not-terrible political opinions, just look at it as a pleasant surprise.

He pretty easily beat Douglas Lima and Andrey Koreshkov, but idk how you can really measure either of those guys to top UFC fighters. I guess at worst he's as good as Rory.

artem's own coach posted:

"So does Artem deserve to be in the UFC based on his own merits? Should he be cut after another loss? Well firstly, if losses against high level opposition were the only criteria for being cut then you’d be quickly left with just [two] in each weight class,” Kavanagh wrote on Facebook. “Sounds obvious but on every fight card HALF the fighters lose. Cut them all?”

Smith being on a 3 fight run over (albeit the aging) Rashad Evans, Mauricio Rua, and (the somewhat one-dimensional) Volkan is kinda cool when you realize this guy has only had 9 fights in the UFC and is 7-2 overall.

Hope he keeps doing well and possibly gets to be the champion due to another Jon Jones fuckup.

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.
