    So the general consensus here is still positive after putting some time in? I have an instinctive dislike of the disjointed, never-unifying plot structure but I enjoyed the demo and the combat and if that's enough I'll pick it up.

    DC wants to be done by March at the latest. It'd be stupid for him not to go out on top after a massive WWE payday. Lesnar should be able to come back in January. Bones might be out until 2019. I doubt we'll ever see him vs DC again, which is just as well because we all know exactly how that...

    Einstein's entire point was that mass and energy are actually equivalent, and the relevant concept is mass-energy. A joule is directly convertible into a killogram via that formula.

    Can this current system possibly be any less of a clusterfuck than regular hydration testing of athletes and just having them fight at their natural weights?

    Yup. Shit like that happens all the time. Fighters will do whatever stupid fucking thing they think they can get away with as long as it's within the rules. Cutting like that is idiotic and the rules should be structured to prevent it. It's *obviously* dangerous, even in the context of a combat...

    In theory I agree, but I think in practice what will happen is they'll just fight dehydrated and suffer more kidney/brain damage and gas out.

    It's all arbitrary. Would MMA be a better sport if it were open weight with only one champion? Why watch Mighty Mouse at all, since he'd get owned by 90% of the rest of the roster? Belts are just a mechanism to create drama and investment in the fight, and even that is fading somewhat as this...

    In my mind, more divisions at this point would be about raising the average quality of the matches by giving the athletes the ability to compete closer to their natural weights. I think weight cutting is responsible for a large number of mediocre performances and low gas tanks that we see. (More...

    I'd love to see more mixed-weight tournaments/grand prix. As said above, 30 lbs spread and offer $xxM+ to the winner to encourage entry.

    I have an aunt who was born in the States, moved to Rio when she was a kid, and has been there for 60 years. She has half the depth of accent that Dern does.

    He's winning decisively according to the rules of the sport. Nowhere in the ruleset is a requirement to be entertaining. I agree that it doesn't necessarily make amazing viewing, but that's a problem with the rules, not Khabib. You can't incentivize winning with titles and piles of money and...

    If he doesn't clean up his boxing defense he's going to get KTFO by the larger LHW crowd. Which is fine with me; Rockhold is a grade-A douche.

    I'm always surprised at how much padding he carries. It obviously works for him, and I know he's got some sort of endocrine/kidney problems from years and years of bad weight cuts, but you'd think that with proper diet and enough time he could lean up more than he has and be better at 205. *shrug*

    Looks like Jimmy Smith is coming to the UFC. I wonder if this is paving the way for Rogan to retire. I understand that, while he likes the job, he's tired of traveling and has been lukewarm to the WME management.

    I had dinner with Jimmy Smith a few years ago when we were guests at a wedding. While he may be a good MMA commentator, he is a *colossal* prick of a human being. He was abrasive and condescending to the entire table and borderline abusive to his girlfriend. It was the most obnoxious behavior...

    I'm a BJJ brown belt. There's nothing magic about it. Tyson may not be a notable academic intellect, but he's an all-time great combat athlete. Give him 6-12 months of training in his prime an he'd be dismembering dudes based on his physical attributes alone. There's zero reason to think he...

    Sure, if he didn't cross train. But Tyson has said himself that he'd have been all over BJJ if it had been a thing when he was young. Imagine fighting a guy with the boxing of Tyson and the grappling of Rousimar Palhares. No fucking thanks.

    I stopped playing Overwatch a while back because the cooperation and attitude required to have good games does not correspond to (internet) human nature, and that's not a fixable situation. I'm tired of banging my head against that.
