For the kids sure, but as far as all the extra protection at the UFC level I'm going to say no, no, and fuck no. I'm honestly fine with the level of popularity for the UFC right now. I don't want to see it blow up to the point of the other major sports because it seems like when sports get too popular you end up with all these special interest groups trying to ruin it. I don't want the fighters' opinions on BLM or wearing a bunch of pink shit to show that they 'like care about women and stuff'. Fuck all that. I watched these when I was a kid. The early UFCs were awesome. The only downside was there would sometime be stalemates that seemed to go on forever. Sadly, I don't think we'll ever see those kinds of fighting championships again. You have to credit Dana White for getting the league to where it's at now. The UFC has come a long way.
Is the surface actually dented now? I'm curious. There's always folkstyle wrestling, and greco or freestyle for the really crazy ones.
It was really interesting to watch them adjust the rules as they moved forward to account for things like two fighters wearing out before anyone could do anything. Looking back at it, it seems inevitable that it would happen... no time limit, no rounds, no point system... they were basically banking on knockouts or submissions... no such thing as a draw.
Surprisingly, it's not. The hail wasn't really that big (no golf ball sized pieces, more like small peas), but there was just a lot of it. There was still piles of it on our front lawn this morning after a night of about 70 degrees.
I remember having a lot of the old UFC events on bootleg DVD along with copies of stuff like King of the Cage and other competitors at the time. I always got a kick out of guys that had their own fighting style because you just knew they were going to get their shit wrecked.
Am I the only that giggles for all these new articles that open with "NASA to study the gassy environments of Uranus"?
Nope. And in other news, I'm so glad that I don't shit myself when fighting in the UFC, or else I'd be seeing MY name on every news feed saying, "oh my God how embarrassing, he shit himself while fighting on TV". You may never know her name, but you will always remember her as that fighter that shit herself.
So far at least there hasnt been a graphic pic tied to this to leave a more permanent memory. You know, like that runner guy, Spoiler
I watched that fight and totally missed that. I think the rule is that the person who shits the octagon automatically loses.
With the ungodly knockouts Im surprised it doesnt happen more in MMA. Odd the mind usally keeps that in control at that moment. Nature seems a bit crueler:
My buddy started smoking ribs early yesterday and invited us over to partake. Two racks of ribs with different ribs, bacon wrapped cheese stuffed jalapeños, and a fatty - a loaf of sausage stuffed with cheese, then wrapped with a bacon weave and grilled. I'm pretty sure that's what a unicorn would taste like if you could dress and grill one.
For those of you interested in the America's Cup, here's an interesting video of the main differences between US Team Oracle and Team New Zealand.
