Jose Aldo is saying he wants to fight until he's 40, maybe longer, says that he used to just eat whatever and only cut weight before the fight and he now believes that's what made him feel bad enough that he was talking about retiring soon, apparently they've got him eating healthy to make 135 and he says he feels so much better that it's completely changed his mind about his fighting future.

Eh he's only 33, and kept up relatively well for 3 rounds against the guy who's fighting for the title next weekend, I mostly found it interesting that he seemed to be saying he literally didn't know eating healthy makes you feel better, rather than worse. It's also a very stark turnaround from previously being very vocal about a specific retirement plan. If Marlon crushes him next weekend I'll re-evaluate I guess.

Memento posted:They said they were going to relaunch fightpass "in October" with new features and an upgrade to HTML5. Did they actually say the second part? The only person I remember hearing say they're relaunching fightpass is Dana White and I don't think he's ever said "HTML5" in his life. As for the site itself, I don't know why the dude you're quoting expects the video quality options to change, this was a front end update, the videos are the videos. There ARE links to full event video pages, but they currently just redirect back to the main page, I'm not sure if they're gonna fix it by making the links work or fix it by removing the links.

Dana is on the radio right now ( https://www.radio.com/thefandc/listen ), seems to still be claiming that the Cowboy fight is on, despite there being no official announcement and the first 2020 event listed on ufc.com is still the January 25 card.

So this is weird, if I try to click a full event page, for example UFC Sao Paulo: Blachowicz vs Souza from the US, it just dumps me to the front page, if I try to click it from somewhere else, it asks me that to watch that video I need to upgrade from paying them $9.99 a month to $10.99 a month. I'm assuming it will do the same if I try to watch this Saturday's card live. I could give them their 11 bucks now out of curiosity, but I think I'll go back to playing RDR2 and figure this out when it's closer to my renew date.

So far the only person to use the hoop is Thug Nasty who weighed in at 145.2 so basically just took his pants off cuz he felt like it. Matt Sayles 148.5 (Thug Nasty's opponent) Cynthia Calvillo 120.5 Both fights have been sanctioned and accepted, Thug Nasty gets 20% and Marina Rodriguez gets 30%. Reem didn't even take his shoes off to weigh in which was pretty funny, they don't usually let you do that. Brut fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Dec 6, 2019 |

I get that you think Frankie deserves our respect, and he does, but currently he's definitely a gatekeeper. That being said the gate he's keeping is 145lb title contention, which is some of the best in our sport, compared to for example OSP who is/was a gatekeeper for 205 top 10.

Skjorte posted:I think she has a chance. She's rightfully the underdog as she sucks on the ground and has nowhere near the MMA resume as Nunes, but she's not a lamb-to-the-slaughter type challenger like Pennington (or Eye vs Shevchenko) where they were outgunned both physically and in every aspect of MMA. Nunes is an infinitely better grappler, but with GDR coming into MMA a far more credentialed striker than the rest of her division, I assume she's spent the last many years improving her defensive grappling. If she can stuff a takedown or two and survive maybe a round in a bad position, or Nunes wants to try to beat her standing this time, I think she provides the biggest threat to Nunes at 135. GDR spent her last many years working a desk job from which she has to ask for permission to take a couple weeks off for each training camp every time she has a UFC fight (which is about once a year at most).

He doesn't want fun he wants a title shot and thinks this is his only chance, he was gonna retire.
