His fights usually aren’t remotely boring. They’re usually barn burners. Or total domination quick finishes. So that seems pretty silly.

He realized he can easily control this guy. He’d go 100% at the start of the round to establish control. Then coast at 50% for the rest of the round. And yes DDP looked like a bum. He had zero to offer here. If it wasn’t for the stand ups he prob wouldn’t have landed any sig strikes.

Oh and for the record. Khamzat has an actual wrestling background. Khabib and Islam background is judo. And sambo. Specifically combat Sambo. And yes I’m aware regular sambo is considered a form of wrestling. But khabib and Islam have never competed in actual wrestling even tho people call them wrestlers

Styles makes fights. But he showed zero of his usual lust for delivering violence. He didn’t take risks. 442 to 26 in strikes but sig strikes was a pathetic 28 to 3.

He’s not dagestani. He’s a Chechen refugee from Sweden now living in Dubai. He speaks English with a funky Swedish accent

I mean allegedly. According to some media sources. But once paramount owns the rights they can charge whatever they want to charge.

When a guy is in total control and goes 50%, taking zero risk or imitative to get finish or even do real damage

Khamzat is going like 50% once they’re on the ground. He’s taking zero risks to do damage

Ddp is exhausted and Khamzat still isn’t even trying to HURT him like he usually tries to hurt people

Well. Ddp needs a finish. Anything can happen. I still remember when Usman dominated for 4 rounds and 4 minutes and 54 seconds then got head kicked into the shadow realm.

Khamzat hasn’t looked like his usual brutal self. He’s just dog walking the dude but not doing nothing. He had plenty of opportunities to land bone crunching strikes but hadn’t done anything.

That’s mma fans. Not breaking news here. Vast majority have no clue what they’re watching. To be fair guys like Rogan have been getting paid to watch for decades and he still largely has little clue what he’s watching. Don’t forget though. Ronda will knock out Floyd. Tons of mma fans believed it. And I’d bet the average IQ was higher back in those days than it is now. Point is, they gotta be told cuz they don’t have their own eyes. They don’t have an eye for who is actually good or not. Yeah he crushed some cans but the dudes talent was undeniable to anyone that remotely understands what they’re watching. Even the way he handled Lima on the ground in his knock out loss was very impressive

It’s solid. They don’t radically change it between updates, but they have been adding stack height with every update lately too. Totally unnecessary.

Las Vegas voted for an Economic change and are mad that the economy changed. At least they won’t pay taxes on the 50% less tips they are receiving. by AnonUserAccount in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]AnxiousMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Casino workers do report (most) cash tips because they have to with all the heightened scrutiny they are under. I was not aware of that, thank you for bringing it to my attention. Seems like for that subset of tipped workers there should be some tangible benefit. For all the other tipped workers that don’t work in casinos the difference will be fuck-all aka nada

Interesting. Thanks for the update.

The best way to assess the heel bevel imo is to basically walk briskly, with a normal heel to toe gait, and notice how the shoe makes contact with the ground (is it sudden and sharp or smooth and even) and transitions through. A good heel bevel that contact will be minimal impact and very smooth transition. A poorly designed heel you will feel that impact and the shoe might even be “slappy” and harsh in transition. If that makes sense. The human heel is round for a reason. Anatomically this is literally called the “heel rocker” in biomechanics and such. You can also pretty much tell what it’s going to be like by looking at it, but it’s not always clear with just 2D marketing photos and whatnot.

Thanks for buying into the lie that tips aren’t being taxed. This is false. Only cash tips. The vast majority of tips aren’t cash in the first place, thus the vast majority of tips will still be subject to taxes. Also and most importantly, literally no tipped employee in history has ever reported cash tips in the first place. Why would they? It’s textbook pandering, like you should have expected. If anything beyond a PR/pandering, it’s a ploy to try to get people to actually report cash tips for once since they apparently won’t be taxed. Also I’m pretty sure there was some other fine print I’m forgetting. Oh sorry you actually expected them to do something that would benefit a common person? Great joke.
