Khabib is so likeable if you can ignore the war criminal relations.

He is probably also the most scary person in MMA due to that and his fighting prowess. Like I absolutely believe that there are many realities where the dolly incident ends with a few dead people in Conor's entourage.
The second part is true because Conor is at best doing a good job LARPing as Mickey from Snatch, but I'm disappointed how many times I have to point this out: Khabib and his family live in a region where there's a massive forcing cone into kleptocrat circles once you get above a certain amount of money and notoriety. Other than bringing his extended family to the US and defecting en-masse (a great option under the Trump admin and with current US-Russia relations :rolleye: ) there's really no choice.

That's not to say he or people close to him aren't into some dirt, but when his manager spends twenty minutes parrying questions about anti-gay pogroms in Chechnya is not necessarily because he too is a homophobe and more that he doesn't want to end up in the next cell over.

I also find it weird how people don't have any sensitivity to this. There's this Chinese author Cixin Liu that all these journalists are like "why isn't this brilliant author condemning human rights violations in his home country???" - because he lives there you twats

Krylov’s from Donetsk, which is dead center in the disputed regions of the country (along with Donbass and Luhansk), over on the border with Russia, and he lives in Moscow. And he has a very Orthodox tattoo. Wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if he turns out to lean East rather than West, and who knows if he’s saying poo poo he believes or if he and his family are getting compensated to keep the propaganda machine going.

The right wing in Ukraine, especially along the border and in the cities, is using MMA as a recruitment and training tool. I recently stood in Maidan Square under a building-sized banner of shattered chains, with the text, “FREEDOM IS OUR RELIGION,” that still hangs over the ruins of the Trade Union building where 40-50 people died in 2014. That region is raw as hell.

"I was being quiet and trying to be a good boy but he dialed the right combination to open the throw-down vault and it was on."

"Walter Foxx is ten times brighter than your bulb at the bottom of the tree merry xmas"

quote:

The criminal case, first reported by the Review-Journal in 2015, stemmed from what prosecutors alleged was an October 2014 secret, overseas rendezvous between an unnamed businessman and an adult nightclub dancer. White at the time was overseeing a UFC event in Brazil, the civil suit states.

White, who was married, had been seeing the stripper at the club for months, paying her large sums of money to dance for him, according to the civil Complaint.

The stripper, Ramos’ live-in girlfriend, taped herself and White without White’s knowledge having sex in their hotel room in Brazil, according to the suit. She used her cellphone.

quote:

An FBI complaint against Ramos in 2015 identified the businessman only as a married local resident who has two minor children and who is “part-owner of a well-known business” with access to a company jet.

Over a two-year period, the businessman tipped the stripper roughly $200,000, usually at $10,000 per visit, to dance and have sex with him in a private room at an adult nightclub, the complaint said.

Man i have no idea how pleading guilty, going to prison, but also getting paid by Dana is an outcome that like.....exists. "Yeah, I I got your gently caress tape, I'm going to prison for extorting you, pay me".

As far as I could tell from the limited context that was available, he was saying that he's doing what he can to prevent from getting sick including just generally staying healthy, and that watching tv/constantly worrying about it increases your risk of getting sick.

In short, I think the headline is complete bullshit, but want to hear/read the original to be certain.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

I heard the other day from my fellow gym mates that Paige actually went to train at our gym a few years ago.

Unfortunately at the time our gym had a male employee who was a sex pest who creeped her out by hitting on her (he later got fired due to a different incident) and she ended up going to a different gym.

Well that's my story.

Even though I hate this idea, it might be the best for Cody's career. He lost three in a row at BW, so he's probably not getting another title shot anytime soon. If he can make the weight cut his name is still big enough to bargain for a title shot at FLW.
