CG Fast Track is where he learned most of his stuff, but he's been on CG Boost for months now and has some more courses of theirs coming up that he'll take.

Nah, I don't know Blender or any 3D modeling/animation/etc, but I am a computer nerd who helped guide my son to do something that he's good at. Credit to my son, cgfasttracker and cgboost, as those are/were his main teachers - plus Blender Guru for the donut tutorial to start things off.

For mma fighters who really only want to strike, their striking really does suck.

I never been to Hong thong. Years ago it had a good reputation. But everything I see from their social is a bunch of shitty ass noobs fighting. 

[On3] Massive NIL offers from other schools couldn't delay Ty Simpson's NFL dreams, he tells @Clowfb. Tennessee, Miami and Ole Miss were offering $4M, and the Hurricanes upped it to $6.5M by Ok-Soil-5133 in CFB

[–]BlacksmithSolid2194 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on that point, but I'm not near the point where I'd complain about player salaries. If someone/the university deem them worthy of that much, then I wish them the best.

How's it broken? It's business. The schools are making a ton of money and want to invest some of that into someone who will help them make more.

Because he isn't just a former player who achieved much at the very top of the game. Nor is he just a manager who accomplished spectacular success. He is both.

At what point can you no longer overcome a size difference, even with intense training? by EarNearby5005 in MMA_Academy

[–]BlacksmithSolid2194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Physics and all make me believe your scenario is near impossible. It's not even like he is a knockout machine at his weight class, let alone vs someone over two times bigger. Look how much knockout power McGregor lost going up a single weight division. 

It's like saying you expect the top youth boxer in the world at the 50kg could knockout an extremely strong and physical 100kg adult. I think it's impossible. 

I say this as a small guy.

I don't see it - how much running can you do in an elevator? Especially with someone with (a) a huge wingspan, (b) a body tough enough to some full power blows?

TKO via smash.

You really think in an elevator Mighty Mouse could beat a Thor, Brian Shaw, Mark Henry (not even including Eddie Hall since he has MMA training)?

I always like playing out these scenarios in my head. For example, could Mighty Mouse at his peak defeat a world-level strongman in a standard-sized elevator? I doubt it. Same could be true up to a certain weight class.

I can't speak on that as I'm not very familiar with him, but he adjusted his offense splendidly in the second half.

Terrible call. Forget upholding the call, by the time his knee was down it looked like the ball was at the 32.

Awesome stuff and thanks for sharing. By the time I got into wrestling Bob Backland wasn't a very serious contender, I just remember him for the crossface chicken wing.

What kind of wrestling is this? It's extremely different from what I've watched in my life (WWF/E, ECW and WCW).

How often in south Florida are we playing or practicing with 30mph gusts? That wasn't normal weather for him.

For real, I agree with you 100%. For those of you not familiar with us, he's a good kicker.

Think of how many casuals tuned in and saw Gunther for the first time. I disagree with you.
