Jesse Holland is probably typing one up right now.

He doesn't need to type one. All he needs is my patented "Brock is coming back" article formula:

Introduction: Explain the possibility of Brock coming back based on Dana/Heyman/etc saying/tweeting something.

Paragraph 1: Quote the full passage from the tweet/interview/whatever.

Paragraph 2: Explain how Brock headlined the biggest PPV and lack of star power in today's UFC. Then say how his career ended with diverticulitis and getting his ass kicked by Overeem and Cain. Mention his current status in the WWE.

Closure: One sentence about "we'll keep you updated if the situation changes" and another sentence that introduces further speculation. That and another call for further clicks.

If one were to write for leisure instead of a paycheck they'd never have to spout that nonsense every few months.

 

[industrian]

It's a fine indication of the quality of MMA media - and modern specialised media in general - when a single tweet can be embellished into a 500 word news story.

But hey, these writers have targets to meet.

So TapOut went running to the WWE since UFC ditched them in favor of Reebok. Not sure I'm seeing the crossover in markets there.

So much for Tapout being the only name allowed inside the Octagon or whatever

 

[MjFrancis]

Come to think of it, kicking Tapout to the curb is the perfect way to rebrand your company. Reebok clothing doesn't have the same stigma Tapout does.

Of course we all know they are still going to preface every PPV with "Face the Pain."

The perfect personification of the transformation from era of the fighter to era of the athlete.

 

[MjFrancis]

The era of the athlete began in 2008 after GSP reclaimed the Welterweight title. The UFC is only now putting on the appropriate face for the occasion.

 

[TheKaeptain]

We need Conor to knock out Aldo. It's the only way MMA can survive.

Times have changed. Just closed my eyes and rememberd when Mirko stunned Fedor with a stiff left to break his nose followed by a left high kick that barely missed Fedors head and the japanese crowd going crazy "oooooooo" "AAAHHHHHHH".

Now we're looking forward to see Ronda Vs. Cris. Times have changed...

Why would the W need a clothing sponsor? Isn't most of their business selling their own ugly wrassler shirts?

I loved that during the pressed. The Ultimate needs to have a promo symposium for all fighters.

There's a reason the UFC is going to keep this guy around. They needed a new Chael Sonnen.

Speaking of, he will be in a grappling tournament kind of shindig May 9th, not sure if that has been posted.

Conor needs to train everyone in the art of the mouth. Too much "respect" because these dudes don't think they are prize fighters.

Conor would get banned on gaf

 

[strikeselect]

McGregor vs Aldo = wolf tickets.

These guys are having fun doing this shit. They're cracking smiles and laughs while doing these "heated" interviews. What a bunch of horse shit. They know they're going to make some serious bank win lose or draw. Anyone buying into this "feud" is a mark.

Conor Bless.

Of course but it's fun. It's better than "I respect him" to ad nauseam.

Well this I gotta see...

Instead of remaining a niche MMA brand, WWE and ABG will rebrand Tapout as a “lifestyle fitness brand” and roll out a new logo that will adorn clothing worn by WWE’s wrestlers during its wide array of programming.

“WWE is always looking for new opportunities to partner with best-in-class organizations, develop new products for our fans and drive shareholder value,” WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon said via press release. “This joint venture aligns with our strategic approach, and we look forward to building the Tapout brand.”

The Super Bowl XFL of clothing brands.

I was trying to kite a bunch of strong enemies and I ended up running right into that boss. I've decided to explore every nook in the area and save the two bosses for last.

I actually got it down to 30% health on the first try without leveling up. Was trying to co-op it with poly but we didn't understand the bell system. Random guy came in and cleaned up with me, hah!

I fought the werewolf with my fists about 5 times before figuring it out, haha. I also looked for the ladder for 30 minutes.

As far as I can tell so far, it's limited by both consumable items to be summoned and consumable points you're rewarded by beating bosses to do the summoning. You start with only one of these points to summon someone...haha. So it seems like more of "I need some help..." type thing, not a full co-op experience. Maybe that changes later.

Try about 10 for me... Wolf was a pushover once I got my weapons on. But I did find the ladder immediately.

Can you guys stop playing Bloodborne until I get on this weekend? Thanks.

I finally got around to beating Hotline Miami.

I think why I didn't complete it originally was because I got frustrated with dying and shit. On this playthrough I just didn't care and went for it. It's such a rewarding game.

Tis a shame I'm in Australia right now and can't get the sequel.

My Steam thought I was still in the UK and allowed me to buy it.

Yup...another Souls game that I don't like. Why am I so broken?

CBMMA overturned the result of the santos/Dober fight to NC

Is the referee banned from every future UFC event? Because that's more important than overturning a result.

What if this entire Brock thing is a work and it's just used to hype Mania as being less predictable because we all know that Roman is winning that title no matter what.

After Mania Brock will announce he's returning to the UFC. He can't turn down those $$$
