Doesn't it seem like this guy just blew Reem's wad? How do you follow that up by just rewording your argument?

 

[parrotbeak]

I honestly couldn't remember who I picked for anything except the main event and Hapa, so the picks were inconsequential to my enjoyment of this UFC. Or lack of.

Better quality stream.

 

[Chamber]

I have to agree with my good frenemy dream. Picking the main card is ok but I can't be bothered with most of the undercards.

 

[dream]

Seriously, you end up picking Portuguese sounding names to win by sub, Dutch sounding names to win by KO, American meathead sounding names to win by decision, then you feel obligated to watch these god awful Legacy level prelims and just get all mad when nothing you predicted happens.

 

[TheNatural]

"He did not intend to take"

You're fucked.

LOL @ B12. These guys have some shit excuses.

 

[TheNatural]

LOL this is horribad.

 

[TheNatural]

Pulling the sympathy card with the kids.

David Meltzer raised a good point yesterday. All these "my doctor injected me with horse steroids by accident" excuses would hold more water if they led to lawsuits.

Yeh, as Meltzer was saying if he doesn't sue whatever place gave him the medication then obviously something is up (which is already the case really).

 

[dream]

God, this vitamin B12 excuse offends me as a rational human being.

 

[TheNatural]

I think this is the lady King Mo was pissed about getting grilled by, LOL.

 

[dream]

Holy, they just cut to a shot of Overeem looking terrified.

SAY IT AINT SO YACOB!

 

[TheNatural]

Heel is excited about this one. It's like seeing the birth of a new BadMMA baby boy.

 

[polyh3dron]

OK so World Series of Fighting promoter's license, and then Reem.

 

[Heel]

Reem is already dead. 6 months is probably the best he could hope for right now.

 

[DKehoe]

Reem is already dead. 6 months is probably the best he could hope for right now.

Thats pretty optimistic. Also, Dana has said that once his suspension is up they will have him reapply for Nevada again. They won't be taking him overseas or to Texas to fight like they did with Chael.

 

[TheNatural]

 

[TheKaeptain]

I'm going to say Reem gets six months.

 

[Chamber]

I would ban Reem for life but that's just me.

 

[Heel]

Well I for one am glad Junior Dos Santos will be fighting Frank Mir, a guy who put on 20 pounds of muscle overnight thanks to hard work and dedication in the gym, faster than Overeem ever could by cheating. The purity of the sport is sacred to me.

Spoiler

lol

[OpinionatedCyborg]

MMA journalism and gaming journalism: the race to the bottom. Ugh, I can't believe I watched this shit for 15 minutes and now I have to leave before I get to hear the decision.

 

[polyh3dron]

 

[Dagless M.D.]

Reems case is up now.

 

[TheNatural]

LOL Reem speeded off out of the conference? Wow guilty as fuck.

lol

Get rid of the entire HW division.

 

[TheNatural]

I'm referring to when he was getting tested not the current one BTW.

 

[polyh3dron]

So Reem tried to dodge the test when he was at the presser?

Yeah he's fucked.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

Reem is gonna get ass fucked, i'd say year long suspension.

 

[polyh3dron]

It was a process server that Reem was ducking in regards to the Golden Glory civil suit... How conveeeeeenient.

 

[TheNatural]

So he ducked getting served with a lawsuit by Golden Glory? LOL.

 

[Dmented]

Are they asking to put the hearing on hold for another 1-2 months?

 

[TheNatural]

Are they asking to put the hearing on hold for another 1-2 months?

He wants medical "experts" to testify.

This is such a load of crap.

 

[rinse82]

too much lawyer talk

lol

thats a damn good point , I had forgotten that

 

[Dmented]

More B12!

 

[GungHo]

Apparently first ballot hall of famer Wanderlei Silva is overrated and never had an aura of invincibility. I had no idea.

Or Lyoto Machida until Shogun 2
Cro Cop in PRIDE
Rashad Evans until Lyoto.
Urijah Faber until Mike Brown
Chuck Liddell (Until Rampage broke him the second time)
Tito Ortiz when he wasn't fighting Handy or Chuck.
Fedor Emelianenko.
Georges St. Pierre.
BJ Penn when he wasn't fighting GSP
Shogun in PRIDE
Rich Franklin until the first fight where Anderson Silva really got noticed.
Anyone with the last name Gracie.

There's a lot of people who "couldn't be beaten" or could only be beaten if they were "had mono" got caught by a "flash knockout" or "had to fight in ring/cage", depending on when their star was rising.

Eventually, someone figures them out. Or they get old. Or they don't evolve. Or a combination of the three. The different divisions get more or less interesting as their talent evolves. Boxing does this same shit.

In a sport where anyone can lose there are very few fighters who ever have developed an aura in MMA. I can probably count the number of guys who had anything close to what you could call an aura on one hand. Wand is one of those.

Facts, brah.

Many FotM folks have been "unstoppable" until they were actually stopped. Hell, at one time people thought Gina Carano had no possible competition... until Cyborg ran her out of town.

 

[rinse82]

lol this lawyer is shit

 

[TheNatural]

LOL he's so fucked. He's not going to get licensed this year.

 

[Chamber]

LOL he's so fucked. He's not going to get licensed this year.

Good to see the NSAC wants to protect the PURITY of the sport.

 

[TheNatural]

Don't grant this continuance bullshit.

 

[TheNatural]

No continuance fuckers.

 

[Dysun]

Wow he fled after the conference and had to come back. That's hilarious

 

[Dmented]

Denied.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Did one of the guys on the committee just say he would like to learn more about the difference between T/E ratios and T-levels?

 

[BLACKLAC]

Good to see the NSAC wants to protect the PURITY of the sport.

If anything this will put the fear of god in sonnen.
