Welp, everyone thought he was funny with the girlfriend corner & his tax man interview, fucked all that shit up now.

To be fair, with little context, the old man was willing to be the hero that Lubbock deserved.

 

It's painful to listen to someone like Mike Perry that seemingly has so far to go spiritually and emotionally. It must be tiring fighting the whole world and everything in it.

[smuggs 9,353]

I mean, who hasn't wanted to kick the shit out of the Lubbock general populace.

I think the old guy that got dropped might be the biggest idiot in this video. What exactly did you think was going to happen when you mimicked him and stepped forward like you wanted to fight.

[TexArcher 37,767]

Damn, Mike. 

That's gonna cost him, but maybe the judge will get him into treatment or psychotherapy or whatever he needs.

Hope the old dude is okay.

[ss13 1,832]

Where was Latory when she was needed?! 

[ss13 1,832]

Oops.

I think Usman and Covington are pretty clearly the two best welterweights, but Burns hasn’t gotten his turn yet. For the most part I agree with you, but I still think it should be an entertaining fight. At least the first 3 rounds.

Usman has a cast on his left hand? Is that the one that he broke on Colby Covington's face?

Watched that last night again. That was a damn good fight.  Colby is a tough SOB

-300 in Vegas. 

Paige is +550. 

Paige is a prohibitive favorite in my pants 

[Scraps 13,561]

Hoping everyone makes weight.

 

So far looks like Yan, Aldo, Usman, Paige and Ribas, Rose, Andrade have made it

 

 

 

 

[JohnnyRage 1,617]

Nailed it.

[JohnnyRage 1,617]

I'm starting to think that Masvidal was bullshitting a little bit about his weight and level of training. Poirier pretty much said so on the Teddy Atlas podcast, that he was his main training partner getting him ready for the Hooker fight.

[Scraps 13,561]

I think it was well known he was training regularly up until at least the last month or so because he was expecting to be on this card....then the negotiations fell through.

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

benevitez has to fucking hate this guy. First he misses weight and KOs him in their last title fight, and now this.

[ss13 1,832]

^ Yo, go check your PM on the other site.

July 11th has brought the fire in the past....both Hendo's H bomb destruction of Bitch ass Bisping and then Lawler/Rory fight were on 7/11.

Hoping tonight doesn't disappoint.

[tx 3 putt 76,870]

Pre fight prep going great. I just dreamt about taking a nap, while taking a nap

I was a 19 year old kid who just finished TUF for the first time, hoping that this English douche Michael bisping gets his head knocked off. 

[Scraps 13,561]

There is some hour long preshow on ABC starting now

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

Also, no rogan tonight. I forgot he only does cards in the US now, if I’m not mistaken. I’m sure they would’ve had a fight companion, but Callen and Schaub still have corona

[tx 3 putt 76,870]

I’m ready !!!

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

They’re showing highlights of young Jose Aldo. I think he might go down as having one of the greatest, borderline forgotten careers because of that loss to Conor. It sucks, but that was the one fight that literally everyone saw him in. 

[tx 3 putt 76,870]

Not a fan of the big ring 

[tx 3 putt 76,870]

Pop !!!

I hate to be “that guy” but is buffstreams still the service of choice for the PPV card?

[ss13 1,832]

Go here after 9:00, then you can bypass sportsurge.

I won’t be by my laptop, so can’t do it for the thread. 

[Scraps 13,561]

These some thiccc girls

[Scraps 13,561]

So how is everyone leaning with main card tonight?

I will post mine so that they can be made fun in 5 hours:

Ribas
Rose
Yan
Max

And I want Masvidal to win bad, but my head says Usman. I think if it gets to rd 3 that Usman will dominate rds 3-5. Jorge gotta take him out early.

Nice of Zhumagoogoo to show up to the fight in the second round

[tx 3 putt 76,870]

that had to hurt 

[JohnnyRage 1,617]

Ballsy effort

[JohnnyRage 1,617]

Hmmmmmm

Sticking with my earlier pick of Usman by lopsided decision.

Volkonovski over Holloway by TKO.

Yan over Aldo by decision.

I'll pick the underdog Jessica just so I'm not the guy who takes all the chalk.

Ribas by murder.  Literal murder.  Nothing left but blood and busted silicone implants all over the octagon.

 

 

[JohnnyRage 1,617]

Is this the smaller sized ring or shmedium?

[PokerFace 65]

Just starting to watch a little bit more MMA, so question for the veterans: several of the fights I have watched recently have mentioned that some of the fighters will be like an orange belt in jujitsu or something like that. How would they not all be black belts in whatever discipline they train?

Is it that they may train in several different disciplines, so may not be black belt level in all of them, or am I to believe that there is some sensei that is the black belt grandmaster that is better than that particular fighter? I would assume that any of these guys getting on the main cards for UFC would be experts and thus black belts in whatever they do. Please relieve me of my ignorance.

[Scraps 13,561]

I think on avg it takes like 10-15 years to get a jiu jitsu black belt. By training more you can speed it up, but it will still take years.

I think BJ Penn got his black belt in like 3 years, which is extremely fast.

[JohnnyRage 1,617]

I stayed at a Ramada Inn last night, if you train at any real school it takes many many years to move up the skill and social hierarchy. It's not something taken lightly. Most fighters, unless you are from Brazil,  don't start out in Jiu Jitsu. It is a later on expounded skill set. Most come from wrestling, boxing, striking martial arts.

Here's one to blow your mind. There used to not be such a thing as 'belts', a black belt was developed from years and years of blood sweat and tears that discolored the belt itself. I guess bleach wasn't a thing.

[TexArcher 37,767]

Yeah, BJJ isn't a belt factory like Tae Kwon Do and other TMAs.  You can get to Blue in about 2 years, which basically means you're competent and you can probably hurt most people in the real world.  Purple takes like 4-6 years, maybe more, and purple is instructor level.  Brown and black are for the badasses.  

So when you hear somebody's a purple or even a blue in BJJ, that ain't the same as karatay.
