[Heel]

Punch fighting undercard just started. I'll be in Nerd Chat, gents.

 

[parrotbeak]

With all the attention on boxing tonight, no one is talking about these fighters who just got dropped from the UFC.

Seth Baczynski
Justin Jones
Cain Carrizosa
Marcin Bandel

 

[Dysun]

that fight was worse than a demetrious johnson fight

 

[Chamber]

Casual boxing GAF is worse than UFC-GAF. I'd rather have a conversation with a Machida fan.

 

[Plywood]

Don't know why anyone expected anything more out of the fight.

I recognize one name. (Seth).

Because people were fooled into thinking this was an evenly matched fight.

They did a good job selling wolf tickets.

Wow that must be really bad over there for you to even consider that. I couldn't do it. Manny fans are the new Machida fans.

how can he go backwards and win, especially when the other guy is out there trying really hard and seemingly enjoying himself?

[Chamber]

We lost another one. RIP in peace to friend Ninja Scooter.

 

[Dysun]

[parrotbeak]

I wasn't following the thread. How long does it take for casuals to realize they wasted $100?

What did Ninja do?

Just wait until Vitor or Weidman has to be replaced at the last minute by the only fighter willing to fight on short notice, CB Dollaway.

Id rather they cancel the event than to see Dolloway on a main card

http://khon2.com/2015/05/02/kauai-mma-fighter-teacher-dies-in-oregon-after-child-sex-abuse-arrest/

The studio closed down after his arrest last week on three counts of sex abuse and sodomy of a child under the age of 12.

“He was alone with children most of the time — largest class size I ever saw was 60 at once,” said one father, whose two boys attended the school. “Eben was not particularly friendly with children,” he said. “He didn’t have an aptitude to working with children, not particularly skilled at teaching them.”

So today at work I had the "Could Ronda compete in Mens 135" discussion. I need a drink.

 

[alr1ght]

you casuals playing this ios ufc game?

 

[Host Samurai]

Will we get a EA UFC 2 announcement at E3? With Pride mode?

 

[alr1ght]

Nope. MMA is dead.

You'll get a shitty phone version though.

 

[parrotbeak]

So today at work I had the "Could Ronda compete in Mens 135" discussion. I need a drink.

My coworkers are discussing how MMA judging is better than boxing judging and how MMA is less likely to go to decision because people get jiu jitsu'd.

 

[Yaari]

Will we get a EA UFC 2 announcement at E3? With Pride mode?

Sure. We've known it is in development for a really long time now. Pride mode though, no, I don't see them having the resources for that. When the base game is severely lacking in both depth and modes, Pride mode, which is essentially a game of its own, would be a really bad approach right now.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Props to the Clippers, I never thought I'd say this but they are full of budo.

WAHHHH CARALAHO, PATRICKY!

[industrian]

Working on a farm is tough.

Just finished my second day and my entire body is just lactic acid with fast-twitch fibers.

 

[MjFrancis]

When you do a bit of farm work you realize how people today have become some soft motherfuckers.

 

[slightconfuse]

Chael has joined Jeff Jarrett promotion

PWInsider reports that former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen will be revealed as a Global Force Wrestling announcer at today’s GFW press conference with Jeff Jarrett in Las Vegas.

Is raiging al far behind?

[Chamber]

Now Shael will be right where he belongs reciting all the shitty 80s wrestling promos he can think of.

hoo boy

"Do you wanna be a fucking fighter!?"

 

[slightconfuse]

hoo boy

More injuries incoming as guys take fights on 1 weeks notice

 

[MjFrancis]

The UFC is doing so well right now they can afford across-the-board pay cuts for all their fighters!

 

[alr1ght]

They really give no fucks.
http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/5/6...-they-believe-reebok-compensation-terms-are-a

* Based on the terms of the Reebok deal, the UFC has the ability to showcase one more sponsor on the fighters during their bouts. That revenue will not go to the fighters. The UFC will however ask these secondary sponsors to sponsor certain athletes, as we've seen recently with the likes of Monster Energy and Bud Light.

 

[Maklershed]

I hope all these fighters are "Up for whatever happens"

Something tells me we're gonna hear about a renewed push for a fighters Union within the next year or two.

 

[dream]

They really give no fucks.
http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/5/6...-they-believe-reebok-compensation-terms-are-a

You're being disingenuous by leaving out this clause:

Each fighter and their team will be allowed to keep all the gear they received for their fights.

Zuffa is literally putting clothes on the backs of their fighters, and that's a plus in my book.

 

[alr1ght]

No longer will Cody McKenzie have to run to Foot Locker to pick up a pair of shorts before his fights.

 

[dream]

A smart manager would negotiate t-shirts and shorts for every one of his fighter's sparring partners. That would be, like, up to $200 in swag.

 

[BigJonsson]

Never mind
