They don’t have any rules on how much a fighter can cut, and to actually regulate that, they would need to monitor the fighter’s weight nearly daily one to two weeks before the fight.

Honestly as an MMA fan, I feel they need to do something about weight cutting. Some have suggested doing the weigh ins the day of the…

How so?

Altogether, except for one fight, because of her fighting style she has taken far less blows to the head that your average fighter or football player.

The woman who knocked her out has over 30 boxing matches on her resume. I am sure Holly Holm has suffered much more head trauma than Ronda Rousey.

You know, for a long time I really did think it was all just an act. I didn’t believe someone could believe their own bullshit as much as him. I figured this was all about promotion. He could just be another run of the mill rap star that doesn’t really stand out, or he could say outrageous things and get famous.

Over…

I’m REEEEAAAALLLYY looking forward to this, but I hope the plot revolves around more than just the question of whether or not to kill Bucky.

That seems like a problem that a group of reasonable people could hash out over a coffee break. It doesn’t really seem to warrant some of the strongest people on earth coming to…

That kinda depends on how powerful they make Scarlet Witch in this.

All sports have a drug problem, and they have had the problem for a long time. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

On the elite level in all sports, wins are measured by a very fine margins. People will cheat, because the difference between a winner and a loser in elite competition is the difference between how far both of…

I’m glad I’m not the only one. She needs to choke up on that thing.

As others have pointed out, even with a background in fighting, it’s still different to venture into MMA. It takes some time to acclimate to the sport and get rid of bad habits gained from other disciplines.

There’s a pretty solid amateur circuit here in Florida too. I think it’s the nature of the business and the relatively small number of fighters that works against it. Like you said, good prospects get pulled in quick once they show promise.

Sage Northcutt was wearing a diaper the first time I trained BJJ.

I’m not trying to shit on him, but there is an argument that MMA lacks a solid amateur environment to develop new talent. If you box, or play football, or basketball, or whatever, there is an established amateur environment where talented people can…

I wonder if we could we get a skin of an Old Han Solo with a lightsaber sticking in his chest?

America is 72% white. Academy voters are 94% white. Oscar nominations are historically, 93% white. In the last 25 years, Oscar nominees are 88% white. In the last five years, Oscar nominees are 92% white.

That paints a pretty clear picture. There is an undeniable racial bias in Hollywood.

This isn’t about merit.…

It’s like the wild west and medieval Europe - it’s romanticized and stories are often exaggerations or outright fiction.

People find something they like in history and embellish it. It’s a good way to sell stories. Find a period of time that is popular and make something up and claims it’s authentic. This has been…

Wouldn’t a real ninja school have its students dress as peasants and commoners to blend in and practice poisoning the local Daimyo’s tea?

Those certificates are probably as legit as Hatsumi’s credentials.

I kinda thought she looked like Reagan in Genesis’ Land of Confusion video.

I was ready to defend the downgrade until I saw the video.

For example, take hand to hand in GTA. It’s not really the focus of the game, so adding unnecessary detail to something that doesn’t change things seems pointless. San Andreas had multiple fighting styles, but they really didn’t have much of an affect on the…

Hmmn, I’m not really inclined to argue with you on, since I haven’t really fleshed out my point of view. Suffice to say I think he is kinda right.

At the highest level of any stand up fighting, superior footwork is the hallmark of the better fighter. Always.

Take Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva. Both of them lived and…

It’s worth noting that Connor is ridiculously talented. What works for him may not work for everyone.
