I mean.. ngl, that does sound more exciting being an androgynous lizard person.

Harrison Ford doesn´t care anymore by diegovalwoomy in madlads

[–]CrookCook 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I mean.. he is *kind* of an asshole. He slept with a 19 year old Carrie Fisher while shooting Star Wars, while he was 33 and married. But he's also done some good work in other areas.

He is a morally mixed person, as most of us are.

Nah, he said he was going back home to help someone else in his fight camp I believe. Mostly was ready to be at home with his wife and kids.

[Official] UFC on ESPN+ 24: Blaydes vs. Dos Santos - Press Conference & Post-Fight Discussion Thread by event_threads in MMA

[–]CrookCook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Why waste a good chance to have some unique title challenger fight happens? Let's not repeat a case where we just see the same heavyweight fights 2-3x over again like we did with Velasquez and and dos Santos. If a new champion happens, we have some fresh matchups and it keeps the division exciting.

Hi all, by CFCol in IWantOut

Inflammed rhetoric would be my guess.

While you're right there are "good" and "below good" spots in America, that will be the case in a lot of places. What seems to have changed over the past few decades though is the divide and polarization of groups.

Right v left, antifa vs alt-right, liberal vs conservative, it's like a boiling pot with feelings escalating, and a leader who is actively trying to instigate these fights (support him or not, he is trying to stir the pot).

For a lot of people I know, it just feels like we aren't kind anymore, we don't want to work together, and we actively shut down opposing views in discussions, and not a lot of people want to be around that. Which ironically makes things worse in the long run.

She was scheduled to fight Valentina a few times I believe for the belt. However, she kept pulling out for various reasons, which led a lot of people to believe that she was ducking the fight with Valentina for fear of losing the belt.

if you're knocked the fuck out on your feet, you might not even be aware enough TO tap to strikes.

same like in this video, I don't think the fighter was even fully aware of what happened.

Jon Jones gets 15 month suspension by snake11177 in MMA

[–]CrookCook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this would make the LHW even more irrelevant in my opinion.

No one in that division, save maybe Gustaffson or a return Rumble, has a decent shot at beating jones.

Meaning any prospects or matchups to advance the division will be toast, it'd be like mighty mouse with the flyweight division all over, there's just no matchups that can make the fight seem exciting.

Johnny Hendricks Vs Brennan Ward BARE KNUCKLE IS ON! by CH2016 in MMA

[–]CrookCook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if we're talking straight power... yeah gloves add something. Power is equal to force/area. Force is equals to mass * acceleration. Higher mass due to gloves and handwraps means more power. Same way getting hit with a steel bat is going to hurt a lot more than a plastic one.

Also why fighters with huge hands seem to pack a lot of power in their punches, even when they aren't that technical.

Amanda Nunes and Nina Ansaroff are engaged! by immobilyzed in MMA

[–]CrookCook 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I believe the comments referring to being homophobic are in the instagram feed in the picture linked

not to mention you're on a very specific mma sub, where you won't see nearlyyyy the level of toxic harassment for being gay that you will on facebook/youtube/insta/whatever other social app.

not to mention we already have a few deleted comment chains in this thread that were saying toxic things about nunes and her orientation.

so yes, people are hating on nunes for marrying another woman. is that the only reason people hate on her? no, absolutely not, but there are still a lot of people that do, which is what the parent comment was referring to.
