    Yeah, Hendo still has absurdly good timing, even at his age. Made for a very exciting fight, and Michael came out looking destroyed despite winning. That said, any of the real Top 4 contenders is going to bury him.

    I like Mousasi calling out Spider, that is actually a really good fight for him. Also one he is completely capable of losing with one of his mental flubs. Fun fight though. Edit: Oh jesus lollllllllll

    I will admit, watching old man Vitor is just like watching an old animal get put down these days.

    Didn't get shit here in Kissimmee. 35ish mph winds and some rain, nothing even remotely notable. That said, I got a paid day off so I ain't complaining.

    Force Staff is the hard counter to Sven. Once he blinks and stuns his mobility tools are practically nonexistent. Warcry is only a static 10% MS at all levels, and is mostly an armor buff to improve his man fighting. Unless your team screws up and eats a 3 man Storm Bolt, your supports should...

    I'm in Kissimmee now, was in Orlando for 2004 when our shit got collectively pushed in by Charles/Francis/Jean. This will be the worst storm to come by since then, but since the eye wall is going to most likely(maybe?) stay off the coast, it won't be so bad 45 miles inland. Most everyone here...

    Now with updates. Storm is getting closer to the coast. It looks like it is going to uppercut the Eastern Seaboard, starting with Florida as a Category 3.

    Valve stated that they were only having 2 Majors this season after how busy they were last year. Technically this one is Frankfurt and the Winter one is most likely gone altogether.

    EG on the board with a win at the first big LAN of the season (that SEA only one doesn't count). They played extremely well outside of Game 3 where I assume they must have all been drunk because that shit was embarrassingly bad.

    Disc Priest hidden appearance required me to camp a book in Hearthglen in Northrend for over 2 hours. It was like EQ days all over again, hoorah! It seems to be personal loot though, no one else could see the book I looted and others got theirs and I never saw it. Holy Priest just requires a...

    As someone who has been Disc since Vanilla, yeah, times have changed. Disc got knocked down hard from the super glory days of WoD. That said I enjoy playing the spec still, even if we are a wonky version of TBC era Shadow Priests. I did Mythic Darkheart and Wrath last night for the beginning...

    DH are annoying to heal. They take loads of damage but can self heal so their health ping pongs all over the place. It's like a worse version of Blood DK (who take less damage and self heal a shit ton to the point that their healing can be like 80% of a healer's). Druids are solid though...

    So who are we waiting on still to confirm? CoL, MVP played with what is most likely their new roster but they haven't locked in. And I guess all of China since they all removed themselves from the roster website.

    Damn, boy gotta work on his Judo Defense. He kept getting caught with that outside trip. First it led to mount and some light ground and pound, but eventually after his opponent landed a few more trips; we got an innovative new submission from aerial reverse back mount in the men's emoweight...

    The prelims on this card were pretty good too. But man did it turn into a hilarious farce as it got to the Main Card. What a thing. Edit: HAHAHAHAHA now Overeem is declaring a phantom tap. And then Joe Rogan embarrasses the shit out of him live. This card delivers on the chaos front.

    HAHAHA, somehow that fight was almost dumber than the previous one. The Overeem strategy of LITERALLY running, then coming back in and throwing a single punch that almost KOs Miocic. What the living fuck was that.

    Nothing entertaining yet. Old man Urijah is falling apart here. Perhaps time to hang it up at 37. He just isn't as fast or dynamic as needed to be at the top of that division anymore. I am looking forward to Punk and Browne getting buried though. Main event is a toss up because heavyweight.

    I was in my 10th grade Chemistry class. Now that I think of it, it was still early internet days, so in retrospect I wonder how the news spread so fast. I was born in Brooklyn but had been living in Florida for 6 years at this point. I remember our old ass teacher rolling the 1970s TV that...

    Sometimes I think I should have sold that chest and my TI attendee chest cause together I could have gotten like $70.00, but eh whatever. Got Necrophos which is pretty pimping and I actually enjoy playing him. The Kunkka and BM sets though, hnnnngh.

    Honestly it could be anything. A bunch of the GGA staff resigned recently, EG may have been loyal to those people and left. Or now that it seems that GGA is abolished and Twitch/Amazon has taken over, maybe they wanted to renegotiate contracts and the players weren't down with that? Time will...

    But he is so damn good at it that he has earned a title shot. There have been plenty of throwback grappler only fighters in the UFC, and they usually don't make it past low to mid unranked. Maia makes it work and taps guys out at the very highest level. That deserves some admiration. Not...

    That fight was a stylistic nightmare for Condit, all Maia knows how to do is grapple and Condit loves to get taken down.

    He still does not do well against pressure fighters and that is what Oliveira took advantage of in the second. Push him up against the cage and he is susceptible to takedowns. However, Oliveira is super aggressive on the ground and Pettis was able to capitalize on that. Whereas Alvarez just...

    Holy shit, it looks like GGA (the parent company of both EG and Alliance) has broken up, thus killing both teams. EG's Halo team went under, Alliance's manager (Loda's g/f) is out. Fear/Zai at least are out of EG. WHAT IS THIS INSANITY?
