Yeah; Cory is good but Merab is just physically more impressive. I can't see that fight going much different than how O'Malley did, except with a bit more defense/scramble during the inevitable takedowns.

I can feel the UFC brass blood pressure rising with O'Malley being outclassed so badly. They were really trying to push him in the division.

I panicked thinking I had taped Hobo Fights by accident, but I see now it's just McGee/Chiesa...

Prior to seeing his name in the list I honestly thought McGee had retired like... years ago. Have no idea how I had missed several fights of his (losing most) over the last 3 years.

Good on Usman; I don't see him retaking the belt or anything but it's good to see him back in the win column.

upkicks should be legal

Malcolm Wellmaker vs. Kris Moutinho
source 1 doesn't work for me, but 2 does

upkicks are legal, you just have to not be a grounded opponent, what is a grounded opponent? it's bullshit like anything OTHER THAN your feet on the mat and youre grounded.

in this case he had 1 knee barely touch the mat as he was getting up so he's counted as a grounded opponent.

edit- was reading comments, many were about life expectancy, hopefully him being on the younger side helps.

That's gotta be a pretty big hole. I had a hole in my lung (33% deflation/fluid filled) and basically had to be kept on a ventilator that was actively sucking the fluid out so my lung could be re-inflated and the hole basically cauterized shut. Was a four hour procedure and then 4 days laying in bed with a tube sucking fluid from around my left lung.

If they can't even cauterize and need to just replace... that's wild. Also, unless his other lung is completely fucked somehow as well, people tend to still live for several years without both lungs. My grandmother was on a single lung for at least a decade.

If he's at "replace and pray" then jesus, hope he gets it and pulls through. That sounds fucking terrible.

edit - Mine was a pneumothorax with an actual hole in the lung, not just buildup around the lung. And it sucked super, super hard. Ben's sounds way worse, so I can't even honestly imagine.

So they think this was from a staph infection, which led to pneumonia?

This is why I hammer into everyone post training hygiene. My one gym NEEDS a shower

Easy to get complacent with staph after you've had it a gang of times, especially if you've never had it bad. Scary stuff.

Always been a big fan of Ben so dudes got my prayers
