That was Chuck's problem. He had a few fights in which he had just enough success to feel as if he still had what it takes to compete, but it wasn't enough success to stop him from having his brains scrambled.

I'm also remembering what he did to Koscheck, whose total game, even that late in his career, is actually more dangerous than Askren's, given his ability to mix blast doubles and BRHs.

We could look at something where Askren humps Robbie for a round and then gets loving decapitated in the second.

Tenshin is 5'5" and fights at 132lbs. In a 5x3 kickboxing match, I think at best he decisions Conor.
I'm sure whoever holds the purse strings would be fine with the size difference, but it's somehow too freakshow for me.

From what I know about Japanese MMA, out there a 20 lb size differential actually gives up the advantage to the smaller fighter.

So tomorrow's card, despite its density of non-wikipedia-having names, looks pretty loving good. Big action tends to follow the main and comain fighters, obviously, but Dariush and Violent Bob Ross tend to bring the action, and Chas Skelly has had some loving awesome fights.

TKZ should be a hall of famer

He has had 6 fights in the UFC, 8 including WEC.

Of those we have:

Three fight of the years

A 7 second knockout

and a submission of all time

the quality ratio of TKZ involved things is off the god drat scale and if we didnt have that four year gap who knows

Two submission of the years, and probably another KO of the year to which he was the 2ndary contributor.

He's also the only fighter to lose a fight by punching so much that he injured himself.

TJ is going to miss weight by a pound, nearly kill himself trying, permanently damage his health, get pulled from the fight, come back as a shadow of his former self at 135, lose that title, start missing weight there, and then in four years get knocked out by a late-notice former gay porn performer Renan Barao in the co-main event of the third ever commissioned-sanctioned Lethwei card in Idaho.

I salute him. :patriot:

I jsut went back to check to see if the card was on Saturday or Sunday in North Am and found that the main card starts at 5:30 AM - I thought that was the prelims!

Early prelims start at 2:15 AM central time. :suicide:

I'll probably blast through them over my morning coffee, hopefully to catch up for the fatweights.

The main card's okay and evenly categorically divided between "the only good fighters from China" and "heavyweight" so it should be the right kind of stupid.

edit: also Overeem's probably getting retired by a russian without a wikipedia page

Overeem is one of the weirdest cases because I think that he still has the skills and athleticism to beat any heavyweight in the world, but his ability to find a way to lose a fight has been outpacing those factors.

Well it was engaging in a similar way to Silva-Sonnen I - Randy, especially from my less-educated perspective, was a comparatively tiny old fart and he had no business beating the gigantic striker! Well he HOLY poo poo HE KNOCKED HIM DOWN. Basically every round's reset brought tension back to the fight - can Randy hold on for the rest of the fight? I'm sticking around to see what the plucky underdog can do! Honestly, it's super fun to cheer for the old guy who comes out of the hinterlands to show the young bucks what's what, and in that rare case it actually worked out for the old guy.

Then the same thing happened with round 1 of Couture-Lesnar... then round 2 happened.

The photo is real insofar as it exists and Sage is a person and a photo of him in that place and time was created legitimately. The supplement is also a thing that exists, and a photo was taken of it, too, through legitimate and real means. Perhaps these two real things were not created together one and the same - but is that a problem? If we multiply two positive numbers, we get a positive number; If we combine two things which are real, how can we get something fake? Especially when one of those things is so hyper real as Sage Northcutt, and produces such real results as (checks notes) Lean Body.
