“Not elite”.

Hopefully she’s able to get away while his foot is stuck.

Wow. Close call. He and I were both lucky. A few years ago I hurt my back while reaching for some nachos and sneezing unexpectedly. And I’ve refused to exercise since then... just to be safe.

A couple of years ago, Lewis stated that he only wanted to fight until his mortgage was paid off.

I don’t watch MMA, don’t follow it at all other than skimming the occasional post here on Deadspin, and had never heard of this guy five minutes ago, but after watching that post-fight interview he’s now my favorite athlete.

I mean, this fight is meaningless anyway, since it’s just a set-up for Brock Lesnar to rip the door off the octagon and F5 both of them, leaving him the last man standing to build to a show that’s at least 7 weeks in the future.

so who was the real loser here?

There’s a good word to describe an epically long journey across an ancient world that is fraught with hostile beasts and other dangers, and for some reason I just can’t fucking remember it right now.

“I’m not mad. I am just disappointed...That I will have to injure you very severely.” (Said while peeling a potato turnip)

Haha, me too! We weren’t dumb- Policy is a weird last name.

Same here.  When Dwight Clark passed away recently I looked at his signature for a little bit, then remembered all the details from that sheet I hadn’t really looked at for a while.

Our nextdoor neighbor in Alamo, Jim was GM of the SF Hilton and just randomly brought me this one day:

I lived in the East Bay from 1992-1997 for 7th grade thru graduation. My Dad worked for Blue Cross of CA at the time and would bring their office season tix home so I could pick a game for each team at the beginning of the season before people claimed them for clients. To me, it was the coolest thing ever.

Two statements to be judged accordingly:

Oh, for sure. What’s most interesting to me, though, are the people who are generally not into the white power fantasy, but still buy into his routine. I think subconscious and unintended racism is super interesting.

It’s like the studies that have shown that people—even people who are progressives—are less likely to…

Exactly. In the region where Khabib is from if you disrespect someone’s family or religion the best case scenario is getting beat within an inch of your life. Depending on what faction you’ve insulted other, not unlikely, options are you, and possibly your whole family, end up in a prison to never be seen again or are …

Actually, it’s really about ethics in throwing chairs at people. 

Khabib should not have jumped over the cage to attack Conor’s BJJ guy who was spouting verbal garbage at him throughout his big moment. He should indeed be penalized.

I haven’t seen anyone justify Khabib’s actions.  What I do see is a lot of people wanting Dana and the UFC to admit that they did spur this on.  They sat idly by and let Connor say vile things all because it sold PPVs.  Now the ramifications of letting Connor run wild and using his words in their marketing campaign…
