    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    Except you can't monetize it and players will ever take your "game" seriously.

    Dom fought well and put on a fantastic performance. More referring to earlier in his reign against Gus, et al. He should've been DQ'd against Smith and won a split decision against Santos. Dude hasn't been the impressive dude from another planet since he's been getting extra testing. In no...

    I think it's time we stopped giving Bones the benefit of the doubt as the goat. His last few wins have been unimpressive and he's gotten lucky to get these decisions. Earlier, we thought "He's playing with his food" or "Trying to beat them at their own game." No, he's a champ who's been on the...

    Because after seven years of "development" they're still spitballing on the backs of napkins. Meanwhile they've distracted you idiots into thinking they've done some work and you give these hopeless amateurs additional donations.

    I don't understand why Jorge is rushing the Conor fight. Dude should fight Marty, get the belt, then enjoy the champ salary + PPV points against McGregor. That's the win-win situation: Jorge gets his money, Conor gets his chance at the belt, and everyone else at 170 can whine. Conor doesn't...

    Initially, I thought Cowboy going into the clinch was genius. Going through my head was the opening of the Masvidal–Askren fight. Great fight IQ to avoid the obvious initial shot and go where he wanted. Then Conor showed us all why he is still the most dangerous striker in the sport. Shoulder...

    No MMO of any scale has used Unity. Their old netcode was bad. Their new netcode is bad. Every other MMO team has looked at Unity and concluded it's better to design their own engine from the ground up than to polish this turd. But it's ok, Pantheon's team of volunteer devs will deliver.

    A quick stoppage but not an early one. Colby was knocked down twice in a row and his body buckled both times. He instinctually turtled up and tucked his head towards Usman's crotch, but dude was covering up and getting his head pounded in. Colby showed a lot of heart, but his body gave out on...

    Stipe is stalling because he can. Either DC will retire or the UFC will give him more money. It's leverage. The eye pokes have been bad, and the dude deserves as much time as he wants to heal, but we all know what's going on here.

    Neither of those two have significant incentive to brawl at 171 instead of 156. Wonder how soon we'll get news on that. Seems silly for both guys to come in fat for this fight.

    Which would play into Ben's hand. A lot of the talk about the fighter's union, etc. has been quiet lately. He's established his bona fides to be a thorn in the UFC's side. Luckily for Dana, Ben has better, more lucrative, and more fulfilling things to do.

    After losing to Maia, this was his best move. Dude spent his prime dominating lesser-known organizations. He came out of retirement, old and clearly beat up, and did good things for the UFC and his own brand. He can step away from the sport without regrets and built up enough street cred to be...

    Proof the UFC isn't interested in fighter safety. Of course we all knew that already. Like the NFL, they give enough lip service to the issue insofar as it helps them avoid lawsuits.

    Cowboy again the victim of his own inability to say no and allow his body (mostly brain) to heal before taking another fight. Big win for The Highlight, but damn if it doesn't feel like this outcome was predetermined.

    Up to this point in her career, she's needed the UFC more than they needed her. She wouldn't be nearly as popular (or rich) being a pretty face in Bellator.

    Also how easily people forget DC's "popularity" used to be similar to Woodley or Colby. Dude got a lot of boos. Dude turned around his image hardcore the last year+ of his career and this is how he'll be remembered.

    It's a "veteran move" when referees don't enforce it and the rules don't punish it. Similar to grabbing inside of gloves in the clinch. MMA rules are still legacy boxing traditions. Boxing commissions concerned themselves with hits to the groin but never had to deal with pokes to the eye.

    DC could get mega money from a trilogy fight with either Stipe or Bones. I can't see him fighting a non-championship fight to end his career. DC seemed at times more interested in putting on a show and appearing dominant than sealing the win. In ten years, no one will remember DC choosing to be...

    UFC probably paying fighters even less than that now. They've been investing big into their performance centers, media rooms, etc. All combat sports pay like poo, this isn't a uniquely UFC or even MMA issue. They have no union and are all independent contractors.

    Well if they took $17,000, which is how I interpreted his vague post, then that is 30% more or less. Either way, the vast majority of the UFC roster is paid peanuts to get beat up and suffer brain trauma.

    With Aux Lots + Judge Kise, you shouldn't be needing much more on offense besides two speed imprints. F-Ceci is one of the strongert ML5 units. She's great, but I conservatively rank her 5th in terms of power (though, since you have J-Kise, I'd bump her up to 3rd); I'd absolutely pick Corvus...

    The problem I have with BBK is there are already so many great cleavers in the game that BBK is one among many. Yes, she's a top-tier cleaver, but she doesn't stand out compared to the rest enough to give up C-Armin. I stand by my opinion the only time to give up C-Armin is when you either have...

    No way. Baal is a bottom-half ML5 unit and that's putting it generously. Between stripping only a single buff (LUL F. Cecilia teams) and his long cooldowns, he's been neutered. You can recall C. Armin but A. Lots is the only unit that's arguably worth choosing over her. SS Achates isn't a...
