When your girl gets dominated like that you have to respect it, if it was some boring decision or eye pokes or some other poo poo I could understand, but how do you boo mounted hellbows, like why are you even watching fights :shrug:

I also appreciated the "it's almost like the 125-pound fighters have been on a mission to entertain the fans," as though that happened completely naturally and not as a result of the UFC trading away Mighty Mouse and trying to fold the division in favor of the incredible drawing power of Henry Cejudo

Ordinarily to pull off a good head and arm choke you "float" over the side opposite to the arm that's locked in to really torque the arm against the carotid. He was only half over but it looked like he had it cinched in super tight and was pressing hard with his own head on the other side.

And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

What the hell was Chiesa doing to Buffer??

Its like he bowed to him, then realized he wasn't done, then started getting angry and psyched out and in his face.

He does realize that Buffer isn't the camera, right?

nah it doesnt work that way, it just means whomevers body reacts best to the drugs just gets to get ahead instead

Lance Armstrong was one of many many many dirty cyclists but his body reacted to drugs so much better than everyone else. All on the same poo poo and he still was so far ahead.

meanwhile when he was clean against clean he wasnt anywhere near as good even though by logic the loss of drugs should've been the same field

Cycling is Less skill based than MMA though. I’m Australian and one of our best cricketers ever was a fat smoker. Different in mma of course but you get my point.

I'm having a hard time figuring out which one of Chiesa's tattoos is the worst one. I've got it narrowed down to having his own name across his upper back, or the lovely little smily face on the inside of his left knee.

Having your name on your back actually seems reasonable if you're a career MMA fighter. Its like, your uniform.
