That's hilarious. More like surround yourself with dope heads. They better not let the 4chan crowd get ahold of that.

Well big things happened last night in the UFC and all I get are crickets in the MMA thread....I am disappoint.

I really like Tyron Woodley as a man and as a fighter, but I didn't want to see him knock out Robbie Lawler in the first round. I'm a huge Lawler fan.

I certainly didn't expect ti see old Matt Browne get put down like Ol Yellar

An I am thankful as fuck this sweet feminine Polish girl beat this short haired creature whose nickname is "Thug"

While not accusing anyone, I'm truly starting to be worried for the UFC. USADA is not playing around, and are testing the Hell out of everybody! You'd have to be a fool to not have noticed that guy's physique have changed. Your Youtube natty now looks more impressive than your favorite fighter! While many people salute this...

I'm for the opinion that great MMA is too hard of a sport to be done without any help. While not abusing roids... like guys were doing (since they had to make weight) guys could train more, recover faster, and put on better fights. I love MMA regardless... but the casual fan won't tune in to watch a Rory McDonald vs Wonderboy type fight... and I believe that's exactly how guys will start fighting since their body, especially their chin, won't be able to handle that many hits for years and years.

Roids is truly a catch 22 type of thing: with Roids you get super great fight... but the critics will ruin your products due to lack of testing; while without Roids your sport will be way cleaner... but casual might not tune in if they can't see some Bonnar vs Griffen aka some long bloody wars. What casual can tell you who won de Tour De France without Google... and also how many homers the MLB leader had last year?

While being jacked up... every one knew these answers respectively, since they were on the covers of Times Magazine... and that's why I'm starting to be worried for the UFC! The Fertittas and Dana might have bailed at the right time...

TL;DR: Great MMA might be to hard to be done without any help since casuals might not tune in for fights lacking aggression. Ownership might have bailed at the right time

Here's what she looked like with long hair:

She cut her hair for charity if I recall correctly. Paige Van Zant said she'd do it then backed out.

She cut it all off for attention whoring

Good post. But in truth, that fight was disgusting. Not fun to watch. If that is what makes up the "casual interest" fans in MMA, good riddance. I was astounded watching that fight. It makes sense now: they were drugged to the gills. That is precisely why people call MMA a bloodsport.

Fighting needs to have some basis in reality. Otherwise, fans can stick with wrestling. The best fights I ever saw, without exception, were those with my friends involved; normal guys who trained on the side, and stepped into the ring despite the fear. Call me a purist, but that's what fighting is to me.

So Dana bailed at the right time. Good for him. He made his cash literally on the backs of the fighters. He drugged them up, subjected them to inhuman levels of violence, and refused to pay them a cent. The sooner he goes, the better for the sport.

Great win for Woodley. I guess the wars caught up to Lawler. All these belts changing hands lately have been crazy. Mighty Mouse, Cormier, and the Polish broad are the only ones to keep their belts. Nobody even mention Alvarez beating Dos Anjos. Conor/Diaz 2 is coming soon. I can't wait.

Hunt is in the process of being tested right now or telling the USADA to fuck off.

Check out his latest tweets, it sounds like he might be refusing to be tested. Either that or he just got tested and he's just acting like a teenage girl on social media again.

From instagram:

Quote:Out of competition testing wtf are these people on u didn't do shit about the other dirtbag cheaters and u want to test me take your testing and stick it up your ass usada

and more fun

Golden Editz for the win though. This is going to be some next level comedy gold if Hunt pisses hot some day Banana

My conspiracy theorist is kicking in and I'm thinking Dana slipped him a mickey and sent the USADA in to take him out considering what a cunt he's been online lately.

Interesting choice ....



Cr33pin 路 2016-08-13 05:07:00 路 #1013
Honestly I thought this was a pretty good fight from both gents... I think Nate is just a bit to big, strong, and resilient for Connor... who normally fights 25lbs lighter...


CrashBangWallop 路 2016-08-13 05:15:00 路 #1014
People seriously underestimate how hard it is to fight someone 10kg heavier.

Particularly in a sport that involves grappling like MMA.
cubanlinx 路 2016-08-13 08:05:00 路 #1015
@CBW, not to mention 3 inches taller and an inch more of reach making a big difference.

Are you referring to Diaz and Mcgregor? They are only a few lbs apart at most, one is a taller lanky guy and the other a stocky midget. Nick cuts to 155 while Mcgregor cuts to

Get outta here with that 10kg, 2 weight class stuff Smile Smile
CrashBangWallop 路 2016-08-13 10:16:00 路 #1017
The point still stands.
IvanDrago 路 2016-08-13 11:16:00 路 #1018
Agreed. I always bet on the tall lanky guy.
Seancha铆 路 2016-08-13 11:34:00 路 #1019
While you are correct they are not in fact two weight classes apart, Nate is a natural 155, he's only fought three times at 170lb. Any sport at a professional level becomes a game of inches, especially in striking. And 10 lbs makes a difference when grappling.

As a McGregor fan I'm worried more about the mental deficit than the physical deficit. He can paint whatever picture he wants about the first round being easy but the fact of the matter is Diaz broke McGregor.

Anyone who has ever grappled can see McGregor quit that night. He wanted out, gave up his back and tapped without attempting to defend the choke. His last defeat was also by submission. Nate figured out a hole in his game and capitalized on it.

There's no way that Conor's ground game will be on par with Nates when they meet again. If it goes to the ground I can't see it playing out any differently.

Although I hope I'm wrong

Lets not kid ourselves. Nate is definitely a bigger guy. It's not 2 weight classes different but he clearly has a bigger frame. Kind of like saying Jon Jones is only a few pounds different than Rampage. Technically may be true but Jones clearly has a bigger frame and carries weight different(Tall/thin with a big frame)

Well that presser escalated quickly.
IvanDrago 路 2016-08-19 11:39:00 路 #1025
Diaz just weighed in at 170.5. McGregor at 168.

Word is that the bottle kids on both sides will be banned from the MGM tomorrow.
