Watched some LFA on axs today.

Good stuff.

[Jerrod]

Well that's fucking depressing.

Well that's fucking depressing.

I dunno, even if you take this story out of the equation, it's basically a miracle that the guy's still alive. And that he doesn't sound completely punch drunk.

Next Saturday’s UFC 232 is moving from Las Vegas to Inglewood, California, Dana White tells SportsCenter. The cause: Jon Jones could not get licensed by Nevada because it was determined that traces of the substance that was found in his system was still there. CSAC will license.

i hate usada

[kevin hash]

I hate jon jones.

I don't know what's more ensaddening in all of this, that it happened, how the UFC reacted, or that the NSAC is now suddenly looking like they're somehow the paragons of virtue.

[riley-o]

that the NSAC is now suddenly looking like they're somehow the paragons of virtue.

Dude. If I could have predicted all the ridiculous things that have happened in this ridiculous sport over the past 15 years I’ve been watching, the NSAC taking a principled stand would have been dead fuckin last.

I just wanna say the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase I won in the inaugural prediction game is still adorning the top of my Christmas tree, lo these many years later,

[doomeddisciple]

Ha ha! Awesome to see! I forgot we did this. Good times

[spacehamster]

Watch as the world goes on not caring about Amanda Nunes.

[the awesome Assassin]

Haha...Stupid. haha...

[THE KILL]

Holy shit, I like Masvidal even more than I already did. Fantastic fight.

And then there was this...

If Brutal Bob doesn't cave Covington's skull in on Saturday, I'm going to cry.

[THE KILL]

So how was your Sunday, mate

[spacehamster]

So how was your Sunday, mate

Don't, man. Too soon.

I'm kind of glad I've always hated Matt Hughes, though. At least I don't have to get mad about that.

[THE KILL]

Hey, I feel exactly the same way. Looks like we'll have to deal with Colby's obnoxious personality for a while. Makes me hope Kabib whoops Poirier's ass so we don't have to suffer Mcgregor's bullshit again. (If they could somehow get him to fight Masvidal, though... that would make my panties really wet)

[spacehamster]

I'd be very surprised if Conor ever fights again. I'm also sick of him and hope he doesn't.

Anyway, in recent Colby news: https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2019/08/ ... o-show-ban

I almost want to listen to this to get to the part where he gets angry and unhinged and starts using the fact that Trump and his kids like him to prove he's right.

“I came on the show to give you the best ratings you’re ever going to get,” Covington said.

“Like the best ratings that UFC on ESPN (5) got, which was the lowest-rated UFC on ESPN ever?” McKinnell spat.



It's amazing that this man has fans - I've seen tons of people who claim to enjoy listening to his nonsense (not saying he isn't a competent fighter). Even Kamaru Usman comes off as a charismatic guy in the presence of Colby. I hope he'll kick his ass....

[spacehamster]

It's amazing that this man has fans

Well, I mean, these guys exist.



I think the biggest problem with Colby is that he's trying to be like an amped-up version of Chael Sonnen in his heyday, and he just isn't smart or funny or charismatic or has any kind of personality. He's doing the same things on a surface level - openly right-wing, saying vaguely racist stuff about Brazil, calling himself the champ even though he isn't - but it just all falls flat because he's too stupid. Saying you saw the Nogueira brothers trying to feed a bus is kinda racist, but it's also actually funny.

Then again, here we are talking about him, and so's all of MMA Twitter, and that's what it takes to get fights, and Colby basically always wins those, so... yeah.
