    Jesus, that left moved Chael's entire upper body a foot, through his chin. That guy can take a hit, and Fedor still has some ferocious power. He wasn't even grounded on his left leg when the hook landed.

    Huh, I never knew Putin was a midget. They must give him the Tom Cruise treatment in all his press photos.

    Personally, I always play SSF and find it very frustrating when the game isn't tuned to allow it. I'd much rather spend my limited time playing the core game than trying to trade with people. I take it that SSF is viable now in some fashion? I haven't played PoE in a couple years but I love me...

    Good luck enforcing that contract in Russia. Putin will write Khabib a personal exemption just to give the finger to the honorless Americans. Then Khabib will pocket phat blood money checks from Razman Kadyrov and the warlords at ACB.

    More power to him. I'm indifferent to "I want to collect paychecks and then retire" DC and the HW division is dogshit until Jones makes it entertaining by moving up and roflstomping everyone.

    Dana is still an asshat, but I saw the original footage and had a different take. He said the UFC wasn't going to unilaterally strip Khabib immediately, but if the suspension were for a long time it's still on the table to happen later. The stripping would be a consequence of the suspension and...

    That's not what that says. It says that he's medically suspended for six months or whenever his nose is cleared by a doctor. A broken hand will be well healed in the time his nose is ready to get punched again, and so doesn't factor into the maximum limit and wasn't listed. You could see that...

    To be fair, there really is no plan B if the guy can take you down and is a better grappler than you are. You're just fucked. "Don't let him do that" is only a plan insofar that it works.

    To each their own, I guess. I find them to be decent fighters but nauseating speakers. Whenever one of them opens their mouth I have to change the channel before my brains start leaking out my ears. Saying "fuck" as often as possible is not a substitute for quality, witty smack-talking.

    It's a triangle between the thigh and armpit with a goofy grip from a bad position. Astute observers will note that the guy applying the choke is reverse toeholding himself in the process, so it's a race to see if the top guy goes out or the bottom guy's knee explodes. It's slightly better if...

    "Buggy choke" Also, a fantastic way to explode your own knees. The entire load of that choke is lateral/twisting pressure on the outside knee. Not good for your *CL's and meniscus.

    You'll note he didn't say "It will never happen," he just said Paul would get beaten down. Of fucking course he'd put on the fight if he thought he could make money.

    Hmm. Upon actually looking it up, you're right. They were married long before Jordan wrote The Eye of the World. She did stop being so active as an editor when Jordan got sick, but that was 2005. I stand by what I said about quality control, though. The series became dramatically fluffier...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    It's the perspective. With a third-person camera the point behind the cursor from the camera's POV is not the same point as from the avatar's POV. At least for me, triggers a constant awareness of the trangle of sight lines that breaks immersion. If you talk to game devs about it they have to...

    Cursory research shows asbestos was taken out of building materials in the 50's and patching and joint compounds in the 70's. You're probably ok. Testing isn't that expensive, though, if you're worried. Probably worth doing. I did some work on mesothelioma epidemiology and you definitely want no...

    That's only true as far as health goes, though, right? Each scroll for your primary damage stat increases your output by 15% relative to their 8% hp increase, which just makes you more glass cannony. If you're good, you just kill things faster. =)

    I've had six knee operations, and I can't imagine coming back to serious MMA training in that timeframe. I've had serious setbacks and re-injuries doing stuff that doesn't even register on the scale of what a pro fighter puts themself through. Those guys are all fucking nuts.

    I won't try to say that Roger's standup was great, but I think his biggest problem was trying to fight at Middleweight.
