It's getting easier and easier to skip these cards. Just got off work late and missed the whole thing, zero desire to check out my DVR either. Might just delete it

That's what I'm doing.. I just caught bits and pieces of it while working and know that it's not worth my time.

If hardcores like us have this much apathy towards these Fight Night cards (and I consider myself to be on #teampositive FFS), imagine what the nebulous "casuals" think.

It's been pretty easy to skip even major PPVs for a good 2 years. MMA has reached the peak and is on the down slide in the US. Over exposure and the top stars sitting out so much has killed interest for so many people.

So Brunson needed to get surgery for a fractured jaw. That ref was awful, dude looked like some hipster way in over his head. How do they pick these people?

State Athletic Commission chooses the refs out of the pool of refs that are liscensed in the state. The broken jaw was likely because he lost his mouthpiece and the ref isn't supposed to stop them to get that mouthpiece back in until there's a lull in the action. In Brunsons case, being as tough as he was likely caused the injury. The only really excessive part in my book was allowing all those elbows when by that point Brunson was never going to attempt to move since he was protecting his broken jaw.

GSP says UFC has a monopoly. Dana pulls out his usual, "Viacom has a $40B market cap."

It's amazing the level of corporate-enforced doublethink that Dana has about Viacom/Bellator. One minute they're not competitors, the next they've got the financial pull of a small country and are implied to be "bigger" than the UFC.

I'm going to contribute another post to move that image to the previous page just that much sooner. Though now that I've said as much, one of you is going to quote it on the next page, aren't you?

I understand why the Canada team's colors are red and black, but why is Australia's green and yellow. Also, how can Michael "I will find him" Shannon's mutton-chopped twin brother be from Australia?

Gold mate, green and gold. It's a wattle, national floral icon. Bloody hell mate, I'll warn ya, if you said that in the Cross some pissed cunt'd king hit ya from behind screaming "AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE" and telling everyone in earshot that he trained UFC, even though he'd just slogged you in the back of the head, a clear violation of the Unified Rules.

it's based on their National Footbal team kit (probably the same colours for other sports).

It was not until April 19, 1984, that green and gold were officially declared Australia's national sports colours by the then Governor-General, Sir Ninian Stephen. The combination was, however, used in the jumpers, blazers and caps of the Australian cricket team to tour England in 1899, but was not ratified by the Australian Cricket Board until 1908. It was also worn by the Australian Olympic team in that year, while the Australian Rugby League adopted the colours in 1928. Green and gold were the popular choice to represent Australia internationally because the colours closely resembled those of our national emblem the golden wattle.

Psshhh.. youre talking to brogan. I actually had a couple bottles but i gave them to my mom because she has really bad insomnia and its helping her. I just really suck at sleeping. It takes me forever to pass out, I wake up way too early and when i wake up i cannot for the life of me go back to sleep. I really gotta get my nose fixed. That's whats killing me. I've started snoring like a fucking wood chipper.

Whilst I'm on the subject of it actually, I upped my vitamins & minerals and omegas intake a few weeks ago and feel a lot better than what I did before.

You realize that warning only makes me want to say it more, right? Hell, I had to be pulled out of Brazil for my own safety when I started red carding people after the 2010 WC.

Why not some n64 emulation with online play and play the old AKI wrasslin games?

Someone look into that.

I'll assume that's ok to say.

I still remember that weekend where I rented WCW vs. NWO Revenge. Hell, I didn't even watch WCW and I still loved the hell out of it.

When Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy came along and it was the purest form of synergy between videogame fanboyism and marking out that you could get.

WWF Warzone/Attitude couldn't compete for shit. Smackdown 2 was the only competitor that came close.
