Agreed friend. Its gonna be interesting to see if Nicholas can even carry an actual conversation.

I am not at all shocked that Shaners del Rosario was a drug addict. I am very shocked that there were no steroids in his system though.
I suspect we're going to see a lot of Ultimate Fighters die of heart attacks at young ages over the next decade.

There is talk of "major changes" within Glory. If you've been following you'll be able to make some educated guesses.

Is Floyd talking about giving Kickboxing a push?

Ronda victory? What's Taters precious?
Well, I'd find it hard to believe Floyd flew to Japan for an appearance fee. Supposedly he's friendly with the new GLORY owner, Pierre Andurand, an oil trade billionaire and boxing fan. He was a "special guest" at the last Floyd flight. Pretty clear it'd be more about the brand collaboration than a need for money.
TMT comin', Dana. Hope Floyd starts doing shoot promos on "boring wrestling" and shakes shit up.

Much like the UFC replaced boxing, Floyd is going to use Glory to replace the UFC. Boxing: Revengeance

Im not sure about kickboxing being a good investment these days...
Floyd will push dollahs into it and let it fall and label it "a bad money move!".
The attention span of the target group isnt getting any fucking longer. They need to matchup guys that just throw bombs; Oh, heavyweight exclusively...

i would love to see dana and floyd throw down on the twitters.
Good effort out there tonight. I like their good sportsmanship in the face of adversity.
I already plan on chin checking the next Packer fan I see.

I didn't know he went to Japan. That would be nuts. Imagine if he got Glory on showtime?
OT: I told my sister I needed Whiskey for my birthday because I had to around our mother for 3 weeks. She went out and bought me like 3 bottles of Jameson.
Thank God we have fake sports like wrasslin and mixed martials to watch during these rough times. Much easier on the blood pressure.
Hadn't thought about the Showtime connection. I think TMT would give them the clout to have a talk with about anyone, though.
TMT would bring a lot more attention to the sport, depending on how hard Floyd himself pushes it. If GLORY gets more eyes I think they'll stick. The cards have been awesome, and "MMA without that wrestling stuff" has appeal.
I wanna see something wild like ESPN/ABC and give UFC a reason to step their game up.

I turn 31 in a few mins. Breaking it in by watching Noam Chomsky videos on Youtube.
Happy Birthday friend!
Did Strikeforce make money on Showtime? Glory has way less fighter pay expenses. Seems like a natural fit to attact the "hugging shit, it's nothing" audience. They probably already sub to Showtime because of GBP/TMT and Floyd could cut a hot promo after his next fight and make everyone happy.
I don't know how it is with commercials, but what I really like about these Spike Glory shows is that they don't overstay their welcome. 90 minutes without commercials and a boring fight only lasts 9 minutes instead of 15. That's important in a fledgling sport that lacks personalities, Showtime would be a great fit in that regard.

Happy birthday.
Dave Meltzer: The demise of Strikeforce
Well, they aren't even near the ratings roof of Showtime, but I think GLORY would be better served staying on a bigger platform and attempting to grow the sport stateside.
Very curious to see the ratings of the last card.
UFC Fight Night 48: Jim Miller vs. Roster Player #99, only on UFC.tv!
That's the kind of card that you can only see by subscribing to the amazing UFC online network! These are the exclusive fights that are worth $10 a month. Now you, too, can see low level local fighters who have just been signed and are about to be cut take on the top* UFC fighters in front of friends and family.
*Being outside the top ten, and probably outside the second ten in rankings counts as top, right?

I backon the gas.
How does one counter punch a heavy bag?
Spider wants that belt back.
The superfight with Gorgeous Georges is probably off the table, though, so what's left after this fight? Win or lose, he won't have much left to prove after this one.
I'm part of team positive, so it's not that I barely recognize a name on that card, cards like that are often entertaining as hell with all of these guys looking to prove they CAN be a big name star eventually. It's more just that it looks like a completely scrapped together card that I would assume is free somewhere.
They are usually entertaining, but it's hilarious that this is the first card for their online network. You don't even get access to the Fox Sports cards, only these untelevised events full of absolutely nobody relevant to any division. Most of those people will never fight in the UFC again unless they have another Singapore event.
Jon Bones or troll Dana and retire.
Happy Birthday Jerry. I hope you find something better to do on your 32nd year on this big rock.
I enjoyed my time with Ryse. My old white suburban middle class ass has 30 minutes to an hour maximum to play kideos per session these days and I had fun playing Ryse a level at a time. I think the game play was decent enough on Centurion level. Obviously this isn't Ninja Gaiden. I think it's more of a beat-em up with high quality graphics. Conversely the last action game I played was NG2 on 360. The blood in that game

I think after the shocking KO in the first fight, people seemed to forget that the entire first round the Wildman dominated Silver and wreslted the fuck out of him with ease. I expect this fight to go a lot like that and Wildman retains via UD.
