OT: WWE/MMA/Boxing Thread

Was just thinking back, can’t even remember Khabib being in someone’s guard. But would be surprised if Khabib will get lazy.

Should be a fun match tho. Think Fergs will be able to stand up longer than others before being taken down - so should be some good back and forth between the two. Expecting it to go into the championship rounds and for a rematch within a year of this match. Enough hatred there for 2 or 3 matches.

Excellent theory and I share it. I think this has a big branding opportunity. I know Tony is the more verbose of the two, but he still shows respect.

I don't miss Connor McGregor at all.

I don't want this sport to appear to be WWE at all. No way.
 
Mac was an authentic shit talker though with an obvious gift for it. Mac isn't the problem. It's these pennies on the dollar copy cats that have sprung up like Cejudo and Colby that are the problem. There are more than enough authentic personalities/characters in MMA (Issy, Cowboy, Max, AlJo, Yoel, Jorge, Nate, BBeast) that we don't need these try hard clowns.
 
There are some great guys now as you say. I dunno, at all, what needs to be done in the MMA to get eyeballs. To get buys, to get sign ins.

Watch what happens to the ticker posted in blockchain. Eyeballs and pump, shit it still works, and maybe it always will.

But me, in my personal life, I hate pump.

I love Tony, Max and Jorge in that order, in this business.

But Dana is run by corps now.

I just don't want to see this great stuff turn into WWE..

And it so easily could or could not. All about intent bro.
 
Sorry homie, I'm not bothering with this card, it's fucking dreadful looking. Like Dana put 2 name fighters at the top of it knowing that Mac would make him bank, and didn't bother putting interesting fights anywhere else on the card.

Back is fucked (mri wasn’t friendly this week) - so stuck on floor - might as well kill a couple hours :)

Ouch, sorry to hear that bro. If it's not surgery, I highly suggest Muscle Activation as a treatment modality. If you're in the GTA there is an awesome physio in Richmond Hill who specializes in MAT, it's fantastic.

Thanks for info - I’m in the gta, what’s the guys name?

Herniated disc is pushing on a nerve - so super hopeful I qualify for surgery so can just get this dealt with.

Seeing former leafs head physician on Thursday as close family friend. Scans were just sent to my bro who is orthopaedic surgeon - hopefully in good hands - but will take as many smart minds as possible to look at it.

Herniated disk might be outside of a physio's wheelhouse, but if your doctors are cool with it, check out Parallel Fitness https://parallelfitness.ca/services/#mat

Her name is Jenny Kong, he's fantastic. Both wifey and I had various shitty back issues over the years and a couple months with Jenny sorted both of us. Go for a quick little tune up every 6 months or so if it gets a bit cranky and my back feels better now at 40 than it did at 30.

Can confirm. Jenny saved me.

But yeah any sort of specific injury and ask your doctor. For tune-ups, rebalancing your muscles or just regular maintenance, Jenny is life changing.

Why is holly holm allowed on ppv still?
Click to expand...

Because we're not supposed to talk about how thin the women's divisions are. Holly Holm is also pretty bad and boring, but she knocked out Ronda once upon a time so casuals recognize her name.

There's what...7-8 women in the world worth watching in a fight? Maybe.

Zhang, Rose, JJ, Andrade, Valentina, Nunes, Cyborg (who isn't even on the roster anymore)

We’ve chatted about this before in the thread. Prob take a decade to get a pipeline of fighters now that it’s a career path for woman.

Not surprising the crowd is booing them, lame ass fight.
