Dana vetoed Mickey Gall walking out to "Hey Mickey!"

There is no God.

Also, Mickey's coach is named Billy Dee Williams?

Oh man, when Mickey's talking to some of the production guys and Overeem walks in, Mickey's face is PRICELESS. He does the "pretend not to notice, look over, wait to see if the other guy is looking, not yet, look natural, now he's looking, okay act like you're just noticing him" routine.
I think he was waiting for Reem to turn around.

Also Miocic seems like such a nice guy. Hard not to root for a guy like that.

Fuckin Dana giving another example of why he sucks. Hey Mickey would have been perfect.

I feel bad for Punk, I really hope he can somehow make it through a round.
 
As someone who has only been into the UFC for about a year now, has anyone ever had personalised fist pads? Or do they have to say UFC on them?
 
a cocky Reem mixed with his new "found my spirit animal" style of fighting would be the most interesting champ at heavy since Brock.
 
Skinny fat no more?

I was born with Glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms.

At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.

Weigh-in will produce tons of Skeleton Punk pictures. Be ready.
 
Are straight edge people allowed to take supplements? Protein powder? Aren't these technically drugs?
From Wikipedia:

Straight edge (sometimes abbreviated sXe or signified XXX or X) is a subculture of hardcore punk whose adherents refrain from using alcohol, tobacco and other recreational drugs, in reaction to the excesses of punk subculture.[1][2] For some, this extends to refraining from engaging in promiscuous sex, following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and/or not using caffeine or prescription drugs.

Some go above and beyond, and some don't. From everything Punk and/or people close to him have said, it's a safe bet that he doesn't do the underlined.

Depends, straight edge can mean different things to different people.

Protein powder is not a drug and can be taken. Supplements, it depends, but most do not.

could never
He has to be on something, he's never looked that good in his life. I bet he tests positive shortly after his loss to Mickey.
Eh... not sure about that. Just by watching his workout regime and the fact he moved closer to train not to mention the diet plan the camp is providing I'd say it's possible he could be clean. Straight edge n all that.

But hey you never know lol
 
Is he actually more muscular though, or just leaner? I mean, he never had to make weight in pro wrestling--only had to be popular. He has no choice unless he wants to get his ass beat by a middleweight instead.

He's also never been paid millions of dollars to be locked in a cage and fight someone...or been trained by people who do that for a living...I don't really think it's that crazy to imagine he looks like that naturally.

Anytime a professional athlete gets into the best shape of their life in their late 30's, I get a little skeptical. The guy had a dad bod for his entire wrestling career, and now he's a physical specimen at 38 years old? Idk

Knowing him, it'd be for his sins only and screw everyone else.

eh...if your life had been spent with an alcoholic father, and brother who stole thousands and a mother who called you up trying to extort money on threats that she'd kill herself and you had to get a restraining order on them its kind of given that the dude has an all about me and screw everyone else attitude. Everyone who he ever let himself care about has tried to ruin him.


For the record though, I'm not defending Punk. He got famous in my opinion for being the first guy with the gift of gab lucky enough to become the man who got to call out the WWE as an angle for all the shit smarks have gone on about for years. Any talker allowed to run that angle would be a legend with hero power over folks. He's good in a match, but never the best in the world IMO. His entire bit now is to talk down on everyone else and respond with how everyone is beneath him. Using that attitude after ducking fights for so long he's a running gag in MMA doesn't jive well. Best guy to call out WWE and he's forever a symbol against bad WWE stuff, but never really more than above average. Even in the indies his best gift was his ability to talk and sell.

I fully believe Punk will get destroyed out there now that its about prowess. You can't belittle someone till your so over you get a win in MMA. You either win or lose. Punk will likely drop in seconds unless he runs.
 
I mean he could be on something to help him cut weight but there will be zero way of knowing. He's an MMA fighter who is int he process of a weight cut. He's going to look skinny (unless he's Gabe Ruediger or something)
