Valentina collapses from exhaustion. her corner puts the cape over her shoulders and tries to lead her away. but she just can't let the fans down like that. so she throws off the cape and comes back to the octagon and dances the lezginka for another ten full minutes

Imagine if Jones gets knocked out by Stipe after all this lol

Heard so much about Chappell Roan, girlfriend finally had to show me some of her music Literally any one of these could be a Taylor Swift song. Pop is dead.

Deleted. Maybe he forgot he was tweeting in English. Columbia professor btw

The number of people still falling back on that "boxing doesn't work in MMA" bullshit is mind boggling. Sean O'Malley & Ilia Topuria are champs. Alex Pereira winning fights with body jabs while Umar N jabs out of both stances like Marvin Hagler. Boxing only getting more prevalent

Remember when John Kavanagh said fighters should stop throwing 1-2s because it's "too predictable" lol Possibly the stupidest thing ever said about fighting, and he coached a world champion! Sport just chock full of charlatans and pseudo intellectuals

I'm skipping whatever the fuck this is to go back and catch Shahbazyan-Meerschaert

Demonic behavior

With 700 fighters and 12 fights per event, 42 events a year, you are looking at an average of 1.4 fights a year per fighter.

mfw I'm getting ready to speak truth to power

On the flip side, we also have a town called Wooster which is actually spelled how it's pronounced, unlike those degenerate loyalists in Massachusetts

Guys 1k is insanely low. If you are a combat sports fan at all who wants to learn about the ins and outs of the sport, please go follow this man's page. 100% about fighting and the science of the sport. You won't be disappointed. One of the best eyes for the sport I have seen.

Even if this were true... doesn't NOT pivoting incur even more risk? Think, people

What really drives me insane is when people say that pivots will get you low kicked, as if MMA fighters aren't out here just giving away free low kicks anyway lol

This tetherball game also predicted to a T how their fight would play out. I remember noting it at the time. Cody is locked in from the jump, builds a big lead, but TJ enters the zone just as Cody becomes overconfident and loses focus Tetherball and MMA are the same thing
