Unrelated, and should probably be in the True Crime thread, but this video made me laugh towards the end.

He really does sound a lot like Chael Sonnen.

Should be noted that the translation isn't correct, should be a torn thigh and not a broken leg. But still.

I can't believe I like this dumb fucking sport.

And yet, here I am.

Stopped watching a while back and every time I see the tomato or just random insane shit like this (or like the highlight of Greg Hardy getting knocked the fuck out in bare knuckle FC), I'm happy with my decision.

An update on the Vince McMahon situation

Ashley Massaro, a former diva was sexually assaulted by armed forces on one of the WWE tours for the troops and was pressured by Vince and execs to stay quiet in order to preserve the relationship WWE had built with the army.

She also claims, she was offered a spot on the executive jet, in order to get to and fro from gigs to be home with her daughter, but this led to Vince hitting on her and being unsettling on flights. On one night in a hotel he called her cell and room multiple times pressuring her for sex, she called head of talent relations who advised her to say she was sick. Upon denying Vince's advancements he took over writing her promos which she felt were designed to sabo her career. ( she took one said promo to head writer Michael Hayes, who asked " who in the fuck wrote this, and why would they think you would say it" upon learning Vince wrote it, he told Massaro " well them's the breaks")

Not long after she was done in WWE

She committed suicide in 2019

So UFC 298 is in 36 hours.

UFC 298 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I can't wait for this card. The main card is fabulous and if Topuria wins, he's going to be a star in Europe. He's already very popular in the Spain and is already cozying up with some Spanish sporting celebs, not to mention a very fan friendly style.

I’m hoping he wins (not sure he can handle the leg kicks heavy style of volk). But Volk is jokes as the old man.

I'm not a Volk fan, but that's top tier.

In case you haven’t seen this either

 

[GGpX]

For those of you with Amazon Prime, they air ONE FC's cards live.

Tonight they had the best fight & best round of 2024 between Haggerty & Lobo.

Strongly, strongly recommend watching.

Still think it’s the best that fighting has to offer up - no idea how North Americans don’t enjoy 4oz gloved Muay Thai. Even the low level fights are usually fun and action filled

No thank you. I prefer endless leg kicking and two shirtless men hugging on the ground for 5 minutes at a time.
