Are both SARMs? Or something else?

BPC157 is a sarm, GW1516 is more like a combination of EPO and a selective fat burner. There is something else (another peptide) you can mix 1516 with that I can't remember offhand that makes it more effective.

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.

I hope you get crushed to death by a fat guy trying to commit suicide by falling out of a window and when the paramedics answer the local bystander asking if you'll live, he just says "fat chance" and laughs.

Feel free to skip this if you don't care about Australian MMA, but just got home from Eternal 66 in Perth, and feeling gutted. EMMA Lightweight Champ Jack Becker broke his leg on a checked kick maybe 20 seconds into the main event.

I've been following his career since I saw him fight in front of 75 people max in a lovely football clubhouse a decade ago and he was real polite when his dad introduced him to us, and this is the first time i've been able to watch him fight live since 2015. Now he's main eventing in his home town in front of a couple of thousand people, and he has this freak accident. Plus his dad was in the audience when it happened, our dads work together and that's how we got into the local fight scene to begin with. Not gonna post a pic but if you're curious #Eternal66 on twitter will get you there.

Boy, that was an unpleasant search and I deeply question why I read that and decided it was a thing I should go see. gently caress you, MMA.

Sorry for your local boy, that's almost comical in how compoundingly The Worst it is. Ugh.

I saw that, good to see he's in relatively good spirits after his foot turned completely the wrong way. Went in for surgery yesterday morning, although haven't heard details yet

So Fuji TV apparently got into a big snit with the promoters of Tenshin/Takeru, the Fuji TV broadcast has fallen through and it sounds like a bunch of people are suddenly real worried about money:

BINGO!
The promoters in question were part of the old PRIDE crew, including head honcho Nobuyuki Sakakibara.

He was embroiled in an extortion scandal just recently, which revealed ties to organized crime.

I guess PRIDE never dies, huh.

Sakakibara did in fact hold a press conference this morning implying the (clearly, obviously false and slanderous) reporting about his yakuza ties is partially responsible for this but it's mostly fights over broadcast fees.

The presser in short:
  • Currently no TV broadcast for the match, just the PPV, although they're still trying to find a partner/convince Fuji TV to put them back on the air
  • A bunch of sponsors signed up specifically because of the TV broadcast, so not getting one would be pretty bad in ways that are not specifically elucidated on
  • They never had a written deal with Fuji TV in the first place so it's not like there's a breach of contract to sue over
  • He's also expecting this to impact and possibly kill Rizin's TV broadcasting deal
So basically, a huge chunk of the money this was supposed to be bringing in is suddenly in jeopardy as a bunch of sponsors might pull out, the potential viewing audience has shrunk exponentially, and Rizin may not be on TV anymore.

Tenshin/Takeru may still happen, but it might happen in front of a few ten-thousands of people, bankrupt DSE (or Dream Factory Worldwide or whatever Sakakibara's calling himself now) and kill TV broadcasting for the organization keeping mainstream JMMA alive.

for the newer posters, PPV doesn't seem to have the same viability in Japan as it does for the UFC in the US. There's just a longstanding convention that premier MMA events get on TV, which has really only happened in the last 5? years in the US. And who knows what the TV/PPV revenue split is for the UFC.

So the UFC has a guy making his debut this weekend, the 25-7 Askar "No Mercy" Mozharov, who's been a Russia/Ukraine regional standby for the last decade or so, and it turns out on closer examination he's been padding his record a bit and the verifiable record is more like 21-11

and it now appears that some of those wins may be, uh, questionable
