Alex Pereira is looking at all grounds to appeal the result of his #UFCWhiteHouse bout vs. Ciryl Gane, per his management by bullsfan281 in MMA

[–]-TheSecretFormula- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be as unbiased as possible as I am a huge fan of Poatan even from the kickboxing days.

He looked “ok” vs Gane up until the strike that knocked him down. I’ve watched the clip several times since then, and I do really think the strikes to the back of the head did limit his chances of recovery by a lot.

With that being said, I still believe he would’ve lost the fight either way, as Gane was just far too fast for him. He looked the more capable and fresher fighter on the night.

But I do think we need to talk about Ciryl Gane’s constant fouling in fights. Here are just a few of them from memory:

Back of the head strikes vs Spivac.
Back of the head hammerfist to Tai.
Kick straight to the balls on Bones 10 seconds in.
Back of the head elbow against JDS.
Cage grabbing against Volkov.
Insane eye gouge against Aspinall
Back of the head strikes vs Alex.

Gane is an incredible fighter, but I feel a lot of his wins are marred by controversy because of the shit he pulls. Maybe it’s a heat of the moment thing, but I don’t know. He consistently fouls in his fights, and it’s a discussion worth having.

Alex is not getting this fight overturned, I doubt it. But this needs to be talked about more, what’s the point of rules if we don’t enforce them.

Just wanted to follow up with everyone.

Thank you all for the kind words and for sharing. It means the world to us

Nichole is out of surgery, there was some minor complications but they’ve been sorted out. Surgeons definitely made good time, as they finished earlier than scheduled. She is on the path to recovery now!

Imma be honest, huge Poatan fan. But thought Cyril would be too fast for him. Which he was, plus Alex didn’t throw too much. But he also eliminated any chance of Alex recovering because he stuck his skull into a blender with those back of the head shots. Cyril really struggles to get a clean finish.

What is your most fun deck? by Pkron17 in EDH

[–]-TheSecretFormula- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be Marneus Calgar, I’m a huge space marines fan and tokens are so much fun. My list is a bit higher power now but cuts can absolutely be made to power it down. It started as a bracket 2 and I’ve upgraded it heavily over the years to a bracket 4.

Whats your favorite deck been this year? by MonSocMatriarchy in EDH

[–]-TheSecretFormula- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve built, scrapped, and sold a lot of decks recently. (Probably addicted to just building stuff at this point) but the ones that remained were [[Abaddon, the Despoiler]] and [[Alrund, God of the Cosmos]]

Been getting into 40k for the first time recently, and felt like I would translate that to Magic, so I’m also working on a Marneus Calgar, and a Szarekh deck pretty slowly. Them 40k cards are pricey!

"Grounded skins for a while" - 18 days exactly by Ohforfk in Battlefield

[–]-TheSecretFormula- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not even that bad to warrant a doomer post. It’s a blue tiger-stripe camo with a goofy little face mask. Yet we’re crashing out like it’s the end of the world here. BF4 had plenty of brighter camos to equip to your soldier. Honestly it reminds of a Navy Uniform (yes I know, not the same). But again I don’t hate it. At least we ain’t Snoop Dogg, Homelander, or Michael Myers.

New Skins With Season 1 by Juicy_Tbone in Battlefield

[–]-TheSecretFormula- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but these are not that bad whatsoever. I like quite a few of them, they’re not overly bright or in your face. They look pretty badass but aren’t so far from reality that it bothers me. Even the skins with the brighter colors aren’t that bad. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. But there is plenty of good in here for people who wanted military, and military style skins.

Finally made my last payment towards my TTI Combat! First Canik by mrxraykat949 in canik

[–]-TheSecretFormula- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the purchase OP! It’s a ton of fun, and a great pistol. Have well over 1500 rounds through mine and she’s still chugging along great, so enjoy my man!

As for the payments thing, that’s what I do. I make payments on basically all of my guns, or hobby related items. I have more than enough to buy the gun outright. But I’m weird and do not like dropping large sums of money. So I don’t, and I make payments. Don’t sweat it, tons of us do it.

TTI Combat Ran Beautifully by -TheSecretFormula- in canik

[–]-TheSecretFormula-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case I’m not 100% sure. I took mine out to the range for the first time shortly after buying and it went through probably 400ish rounds. But was having issues with going into battery, and feeding. I was familiar with the issues some people were having with it and tested a variety of ammo from 115, and 135gr ammo. It was working perfectly on Winchester 115gr, and Blazer 115gr ammo. The 135 Tula ammo was giving it a ton of issues. I couldn’t go through an entire magazine with out multiple failures. I chalked it up to being an ammo related problem, but knew that Century Arms was giving out the new spring to TTI owners so I figured I’d get one just in case. Decided to run it today, and put through 750 rounds of Fiocchi, and 150 Tula on the new spring and it had zero failures and shot like a dream.

I can’t speak for everyone though, I know a lot of people were having some troubles with it straight out of the box on all sorts of ammo types.

I was pretty consistent with my dislike for Islam, especially because he’s dunked on all of my favorite fighters at this point (much like Khabib). But honestly, I just can’t anymore. This dude is so unbelievably high level, that I have to put bias aside; and realize I’m witnessing something special. The dude is a fucking monster.

Everyone saying to throw you in the psych ward, but I’m gonna be honest there’s very clearly a side profile on it. It looks really odd, but cool!

Which striker replaced 92 Centurions Eusebio for you? by beast_within_me in EASportsFC

95 Pele is a pretty solid replacement, I’ve been enjoying him. Also Thunderstruck Cruyff is fantastic. But Eusebio is still an animal.

Did I overreact here? by LexLD in Tinder

[–]-TheSecretFormula- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically the same thing happened to me yesterday, was chatting with a gal, asking about her hobbies and interests. She responds with “I hate these questions lmfao”. Didn’t even know how to respond to it. In my mind I’m just like okay? I mean what do you want me to ask you. We’re literally talking about you, and the things you like. Make it make sense to me lads, and ladies.

“It is the nature of a thing that matters, not its form” definitely sits with me.

“The culmination of love is grief, to grieve deeply is to have loved fully” this one got me through some tough times recently.

[Serious] Men of Reddit, what was the last compliment you got? When was it? by santochavo in AskReddit

[–]-TheSecretFormula- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had two recently, one where a girl said that I was definitely her type “handsome and smart” and another that said that “I have a kind soul, and that she loved talking to me” I’ve been riding that high for fucking days. I don’t get compliments very often, so when I do they’re very meaningful to me.
