multivitamins and prayer have strange effects on the body, friend

god and vitamin supplements work in equally mysterious ways
It doesn't seem fair to me that these are so effective yet a natural vitamin rich diet and a spiritual lifestyle generally results in anaemic twigs with zero fast twitch fibres.

Bas is going into the Hall of Fame, right?

I could see him replacing Joe, as Mr. Rogan can't be trusted not to rock the boat further with his Reebok outbursts and such.
 
Noooooooooooooo. I love Bas but he's a horrible announcer. He gets lost in his own thought and will stop talking - mid sentence sometimes, he only talks about how the fight relates to some kind of thing he did or a fight he had, and he constantly talks about liver and stomach kicks like its something he invented. And I'd be really bummed if they lost Anik, Rogan, or Stann.


EDIT: "2.5 hours after weigh ins Cormier claims he weighs 220 lbs"

Bas is hilarious and perfect for Bad-MMA events but I don't want him in something seriously technical like the UFC. How am I supposed to know if it's in deep, no, he's out, without Rogan?

Goldie is the reason I watch fights with the sound off, so he can go and make money in a casino, announcing bingo numbers.

Rogan, for as terrible as he can be, has still some fun crazy factor AND I like the idea that he can be a bit more of the chain because he doest not HAVE to do the job.

I say do a 3 men tournament between Bas, Rogan and Stan. May the best man win! (they all fight at the same time of course)

Mad Max was next level. Everybody better catch that movie while it's in theaters.

After seeing Mad Max: Fury Road all these superhero movies need to fuck off.

I thought I was getting tired of action movies. It turns out I hadn't been watching action movies.

Thank you George Miller. For a lovely movie.

Watched it tonight. In the theater like

Told ya:

[quote="FACE, post: 164049691"]Mad Max Fury Road is legit and y'all should watch it.[/QUOTE]

I actually saw it twice on theaters and I'm considering going again.

188 is on June 13. What day do you think it will be announced that Cain is out? I'm going with June 2.

Arlovski! Woo hoo, so glad to see him win. It's crazy that I wanted him to retire a few years ago after his third brutal KO loss.

After Kharitonov stole his soul, I doubt anyone thought Arlovski would have much of a career left. But to his credit, he stayed active and refined his skillset with Greg Jackson. Now he's the only guy in the HW division in the position to claim the next title shot.

dont think its official but Rockhold pretty much confirmed hes getting the next shot vs Weidman either in September or December on the post show

he is also mega awkward on the mic. he has a weird stutter and freezes up for seconds at a time while he gathers his thoughts. Im not sure if its always been that bad but it felt worse tonight.

its a shame because if he could talk like DC he would be a breakout star.

No matter how they make it happen, I still want to see Khabib Nurmagomedov fight Donald Cerrone. Also, lol at whoever put "TKO (retirement)" on wiki for Cowboy's victory over Makdessi.

Okay, I finally watched the show, and I have some thoughts.

Andrei vs. Hapa featured the worst stoppage I've ever seen in my life. If you bill a match as a heavyweight slugfest, the implicit promise is that we're going to see a brutal KO. I get that the match was probably set up with the idea that we'd see Andrei laid out, possibly becoming the first after taking a scary KO. The fact that Andrei was able to not only avoid getting KO'd, but actually dominate was amazing, and we were all denied the opportunity to see a brutal KO because the ref decided to jump the gun.

Speaking of being the firsts, Cowboy Cerrone managed to avoid being that again, much to my dismay. But I'm okay with that because the fight did something else. As we all know, I think tapping to strikes is the pussiest thing a fighter can ever do. In a time when refs will jump in to save a fighter from being knocked out (see above), tapping to strikes just exposes a fighter as having absolutely no heart, no guts, and no future. Imagine my delight, then, when Fear the Fighter decided that he wanted out, and his only option was not to tap to strikes, but tap after a strike. Even better, because this cowardly thief was still standing, he had to extend his fist in order to create a surface upon which he could tap. He couldn't take a knee and tap the mat. He couldn't fall over and cover up. He just needed out that very second and tapped on himself to signal his cowardice. Amazing.

Wildman vs. Vitor: fighting without steroids is hard.

Finally, I feel bad for Rumble Johnson. I really think this was his time, that he would have just bombed on Bones Jones and finished him inside of two rounds. Unfortunately, he just came up against the one guy who is the perfect style matchup nightmare for him. Which is kind of sad because Rumble Johnson probably should have become the world champion last night. But now he'll probably never get another title shot again. But on the bright side, Cormier might be the best babyface champion the Ultimate has ever had. Much like Michael Strahan of Live with Kelly and Michael fame, Cormier is a non-threatening black man who is just urban enough for housewives to still fantasize about.

Rockhold was a teen skater who smoked a lot of weed while his brain was still developing.
 
Dana's backstage interview with Megan he says Jacare is ready to go and is next. Then gets asked about Rockhold and then backpedals and says "I don't know, I don't know."

What kind of triple threat match is UFC planning for New York?

So all you guys saying that Rockhold/Souza are a real threat to Weidman... why is that?, what advantages do they have over Weidman?

I just want to say I love you. Also, at the presser Cowboy confirmed he won't quit until he's dragged out of the cage on a stretcher.

I couldn't hold back my laughter from the post fight press when DC just started laying into Ryan, "just give me my check now"!

For this week's Throwback Sunday, I submit to you: Tim Sylvia vs. Ray Mercer, which was supposed to be a boxing match until the commission stepped in and rightly refused to sanction the fight. Two days before the fight, Ray Mercer, at the age of 48 and coming off of a submission loss to ADCC champion Kimbo Slice, explained that this wasn't necessarily about who the better boxer is; it's about being a man. "I'm not gonna be doing kicking or nothing, I'ma do boxing." "If he wants to box, we box," Mercer said, "if he wants to get in there and kick and get down and rassle and all that shit, we'll do that shit too."

Sensing the opportunity to make something special happen, noted midwestern manager/fight promoter Monte Cox made the match on the spot. Why did Mercer accept the fight under rules that are so hostile to his style? Well, I'll let Ray explain: https://youtu.be/Ivsv_EKN-dg?t=245

Two days later, Mercer stepped into the cage to do man shit.
