Agree. That choke was in DEEP from the start and there was no defense. Thrilling finish with one eye on the choke and one eye on the clock. If that fight is five seconds shorter, we might have a different outcome. Not sure I've seen a choke that deep for so long and "last" up to the bell.

He was out for 40 seconds though?

He was out? Dude made eye contact with the ref and gave him a thumbs up. Ref gave the guy every chance. Ref watched it play out, made contact with the fighter, and even checked the guy's arm to see if he was responsive. With replay, slow-mo, and a million camera angles you have access to a lot...

Holy hell, the end to that fight. Any one slip-up can put a guy away. Simon kept his wits about him. Ref did an excellent job, though I don't totally understand the ruling.

They're hit or miss. Often the headliner is better than a lot of main event fights on PPV cards (e.g., Lee vs Barboza tonight could go on any main event card), but the depth of talent is usually lacking. Given UFC's matchmaking lately, quality of fights vs a big PPV card is a coin flip...

Does Tony normally walk around at 200? I don't think so. What's your over/under on his normal weight? 185? 190? 180?

If you think Tony walks around at 175 I have no words. Tony is listed at 5'11" (for comparison, Nate Diaz is listed at 6'0") – that's a lot of mass even when you're lean.

That tweet is from October of last year.

Maybe. Assuming one guy goes through a full cut and makes weight vs the other guy doesn't fully cut and doesn't make weight, that's an advantage. One pound for guys dropping this much weight raises the question, is Lee holding back or did he drop 100% and he just came up 2 hours/1 meal short...

The system sucks. As someone wanting to see this fight, I'm glad everyone found a way to continue. As someone who hates the current weight game, I wish this fight would have fallen through costing UFC and both fighters big $$$. These guys probably walk around at what, 190 plus? Missing by one...

Dude just lost what $10k or more for 1 pound? Good on both camps for finding a way to make the fight happen. Given the amount of guys who miss weight, you'd think employing a nutritionist would be a no-brainer from an investment perspective even if you don't believe they might help your...

DC is a new head coach for HS wrastling. Lucky bunch of kids. Wonder if he'll be stepping back from broadcasting?

Three eye gouges tonight. Awesome. Not sure anyone can look good standing against Gaethje, but Poirier battled hard, got through the pain, and won. Gaethje continues to display a stubbornness about his style. After two losses in a row, will he change now? Eddie has one fight left on his...

Ortega has potential, though I don't know if he's there yet. Max has looked great in his last few fights but the style of the top guys at 155 make them unfavorable matchups. Dude made it to the top of 145 while he was young, light, and able to cut like a madman but as he ages that's not a...

Khabib can't out-score Conor standing up, even if he avoids getting knocked out. On the feet, Conor's far superior. When Khabib takes him down, and make no mistake Khabib will take him down, Conor will look little different than Barbosa. Every ring of the bell would end Khabib's mauling of...

Conor has a chance against Khabib, because that striking is lethal and Conor's takedown defense is good enough to get some shots in. Khabib's ruthless pacing would get Conor to the ground eventually. Would it be with 4 minutes left in a round or with 1 minute? That makes a big difference to the...

I don't see Bones providing a model for others to follow. He's an exceptional freakish athlete, not someone who teaches you how to beat a wrestler. Jon Jones is just so incredibly talented that DC has to adapt to the elephant in the room but no one else has replicated that elephant. Women's 105...

The current top wrestlers (Stipe, DC, and Khabib) all don't seem to need to evolve themselves. You could argue Khabib has ben trying, his last two fights spending unnecessary time on his feet, but he's also the one with the least incentive. Stipe isn't in it for the money. He doesn't sell fights...

I agree. Khabib is as entertaining as Ben Askren – who also never lost a fight and is semi-retired because no one is willing to pay him. Khabib, unlike these other wrestlers, has money so he doesn't need to fight (or in the case of guys like Ben, quitting fighting to earn a pay check). Khabib...

If you "invest" enough before the game comes out you can have this or any other desire you may have. Instead, if you wait for the game to come out and spend thousands on the cash shop, you'll be SOL. Now is the time to get in.

What if the crowd is just coming to the booth to score drugs?

Conor has gone off the deep end. Shame. Money and fame can ruin a person and the dude has lost his shit. I hope this is his rock bottom and he turns it around. Sort of related, but Khabib is in his head. Conor had always won the mental warfare game, but this time Khabib has broken Conor before...

Yeah 6 days is an insane cut. No camp, slim chance of making weight, and if you do make it you're a ghost of yourself. Even pulling a Nate Diaz and taking the fight at 170 would be a risk for a lot of these guys on 6 days. Eddie vs Khabib is now the best matchup in the division and the one I get...

If this isn't a joke, then the draw of the card becomes Thug Rose's defense. Max might not make it out alive. I guess if the impossible happened, Halloway vs McGregor for TWO belts would be fun to sell to fans. I can't believe it. But if it is true, here's my prediction: Tony 100 - Max 0...

Sad to hear this. Kudos to all the forumbros and especially you folks who selflessly led to make the magic happen. I only played for a bit, but you guys all made the game fun. To go from a casual forumguild that was considering going Alliance at the start of the expac, to corralling the herd...

Exactly. TJ is too busy trying to get a fight to fight. Come on. You're the champ, defend the belt. I want to see Cody trash somebody. Mighty Mouse deserves to get paid but the UFC doesn't care. He can step up to market himself and take on TJ or he can quietly be the nice guy dominating a...

#1 vs #7. Wonderboy is cleaning out the division without being champ on a fight night, shame. Woodley is playing the game right. Where are Dillashaw and No Love?

This thread has clearly gone off the rails. People need to stop comparing apples and oranges and claiming that Pantheon sucks because it doesn't have any as many apples as EQ1 did in 1999. We all know Pantheon is superior because the grass is at least 10oh000zero0O000O0o% more interactive than...

ATB for mobile, action for AAA titles. Turn-based games are destined for mobile in today's day and age. The most you can hope for is classics like FFIX remastered (which you can also play on your phone). Touch screen will forever suck for action and turn-based doesn't take advantage of the...

Do all 8 zones have interactive grass?

Difference between the lights going out and taking the first opportunity to give up. Yana showed no heart, no passion, no respect for the sport, and failed the fans. I guess she made some money but her MMA career will never recover from this poor showing. If Cyborg is a lion, Yana is a mouse...

FTFY. How much did that girl get paid? She didn't belong in the cage and she fought like she knew it. Be a professional and fight (MAIN EVENT CARD) or don't sign the contract. Dana should be pissed. Women's MMA has a major depth problem – there aren't enough competitive fights for the women at...

Totally possible to get into it. If you need the expansions it's on sale for $20 or you can wipe it clean with a brand new account for $30 (includes all expansions + free 30 days). As a tank my queues have ranged from instant to five minutes. Nothing in the MSQ is a hurdle and queues are quick...

Gotten into this lately. That post-ARR shit was nonsense. Hit Heavensward at level 54 and I didn't particularly try to EXP. Any forum bros still hanging around Gilgamesh? Know of a good free company or linkshell for a newb Paladin?

Holy hell. Not sure if I'm more surprised by the betting line or how there's no picture of the challenger for a belt. What is going on with women's matchmaking? Dana always talking about how much $$$ UFC is bringing in and the new wing at the office, take a little bit of that cash and hire someone.

Brock doesn't loathe the testing process, he just hates being off steroids.

This is all leveraging negotiations. Only 30 days to hype up Conor's return to the Octagon? Of course that's plenty of time. The fight sells itself. It's telling that he thinks he can make 145 right now. UFC denying him the fight will come back in talks later, shame on them. Conor winning that...

Is that all there is too it? Of course it isn't. That's the small piece of the puzzle Barnett's team is telling the press to manipulate you. They won't even tell you what he tested positive for. Let's imagine a scenario: in a 90-day period, Barnett is tested eight times. In one of those times...

The rumors that I've seen with Bones confirm he's stupid and careless but not guilty. Stupid and careless deserves a punishment on a different level than guilty. Of course all this is just rumors so it could be wrong, but I don't see the need for USADA to end the guy's career over this. Maybe...
