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.
Someone will die and they'll say this is entirely unforeseeable and unpreventable. Like Khabib attacking a racist in the crowd for them showing footage of a bus attack they promised they would never use for publicities sake.

They begin again

Should I start paying attention to One? I’m so tired of the 75% drama and outside of the cage hype / 25% fighting balance of the ufc.

Pay attention to RIZIN. It's like Pride meets Oplot minus the current war criminals replaced with former war criminals.

i've only ever watched UFCs actual cards .. i don't read mma news or watch the embeddeds or listen to podcasts. so i think following all of that stuff is a personal choice

We're all doomed
I favor Road FC over ONE as far as Asian B leagues go, mainly because Road does heavyweight freakshow spectacles in addition to tiny unknown korean guy fights.

And you, you ridiculous people, you expect me to help you.

My favorite Diaz unsanctioned fight story is when he was biking and somehow got into a fight with two dudes in a pickup. He was sliding around in bike shoes, they stabbed him with a pen, and he lost his phone. He called it the next day and they had it, so he made up with them and ended up training together and being bros.

Once shot a man in Reno.
One FC has some high level talent and some up and comers so it can be worth it for you but probably no one you know unless you train a bit yourself in MMA or grappling.

Same, it's too much content without a unified purpose. Though the best single digit TUF seasons were often very entertaining

The actual UFC cards have the same balance though.

The wrestlers literally put the system in place because kids were dying cutting weight less than ten years ago. The UFC could do something, they just don't care.

Cool, honestly didn't know. Seems nifty.

Things seem kinda cyclical with the b-leagues. I followed em back when Strikeforce was in it's prime (lol), then they got bought out and the UFC monopolized all the talent for a while. Meanwhile JMMA got sketchy as hell mostly in the 2010's. And I kinda stopped paying attention to anything except the UFC. Now things are in a place again where it seems like there's a lot of interesting stuff going on in em again.

2nd domestic violence incident we've had this year. This time, the fighter was hospitalized with a broken orbital bone and her fight in January is probably off.

Oh now I remember who that guy is, he wrote the single greatest piece of basketball fan fiction ever written.

17776 had some amusing scenarios, but the multimedia format got in the way a lot, imo.

Yeah Jon Bois is incredible but there is no way I am listening to the Chapo guy who sounds brain dead for an hour and forty minutes.

Also please everyone read the two Death of Basketball articles he wrote they are magnificent

Are you allowed to share a fight pass account with someone who has a different IP address or will they ban the account? I'm sure it's laid out in the terms of service but please understand, theres a lot of words in it.

you used to be able to easily but at some point they've got this tracking thing happening with it and you'll get maybe a minute before getting cut. should say that this is if you're using it at the same time. if only one of you are on it then it doesn't matter.

1) my ad blocker was hiding this video??

2) this is EXTREMELY interesting. I've got some experience with olympic boxing so I've seen talk like this about an olympic training centre at a national level. This is a private company coming in and trying to promote a sport by building a residency/training centre and hopefully poaching athletes from other olympic sports, very very interesting. also every ufc video now requires forrest griffin trying to get up to speed for the first 5 minutes
