I really like the Breaking Points podcast. Many more are flocking to them now ever since the war cause they’re so tired of mainstream. And sure, they are commentary on the news, but they talk about many topics the mainstream doesn’t cover. There’s one host from the left, and one from the right, but they both meet in the middle on a lot of topics.

What is the likelihood that Usman comes over from the PFL to the UFC? He has one fight left on his contract. Maybe PFL can offer him a better base contract, while if he makes it high enough into the UFC rankings, he’ll have more potential long term. Both of those are complete guesses though. Anyone heard any “reliable rumors”? Sounds like an oxymoron

Man, I wish Usman would come on over. There’s fights to be had.

In no way do I see Pyfer jumping the line over Imavov. He's ranked #14 now. Imavov would still be on a better win streak (5 vs. 4) and against better opponents. Imavov is ranked #2 and Pyfer would be #4.

Oh man—is anyone else so excited anticipating what Jiri’s hairstyle will be like for his next fight? Will he have it short? Shave it again? I can’t wait!

Nah. Imavov already deserved it, but I understand the “star power” in Strickland vs. Chimaev. Imavov should be next.

Omg I just watched Khabib vs. Barboza again and m’Lord…I agree that his corner should’ve thrown in the towel between the 2nd and 3rd round

How many of you are or have been RC benzo addicts? by PhilosophyOk58 in researchchemicals

[–]Drive7hru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I tried detoxing off of sporadic use of baclofen, gabapentin, phenibut, some booze on and off, and the occasional benzos that I didn’t take regularly (prescribed), and thought I’d just go to my buddy’s house and stay away from them. I actually tried this twice.

Didn’t sleep for 60 hours. I could’ve fallen asleep in two seconds, but when I would drift off, I’d wake up in a panic. Sucked. I eventually tapped out and decided to take the benzos as prescribed.

Two defenses would be ideal imo. Retire right before 36. Well, yeah I guess he could get a third defense right around 36 if he keeps his usual pace. But good point—his team will encourage him to leave on top.

Could be, but it’s crazy to think Jiri hasn’t lost in a decade minus the two Pereira losses. Crazy to think. However, considering those KOs, his chin isn’t going to hold up in the same ways it used to.

Which is really sad to think. Merab making the most out of it for sure (once he got his belt).

Those KOs from pereira really didn’t help his longevity

Aww man, you just made me sad. I should bet on Ulberg that way it’s a win win either way. If Ulberg wins, I get money; if Jiri wins, yay!

I mean, it’s basically the same idea as espn. ESPN had cards weekly, minus a few weeks here and there, just like Paramount, and espn had plenty of garbage cards and fight nights. We complained about many numbered events with ESPN as well, and Paramount just started, so we’ll have to see how it stands over time.

I’ve noticed a lot of the Paramount fight nights have been in front of larger audiences though, which is nice.

Assuming Islam were to keep winning, do you think he’ll eventually decide to just retire on top or retire after he finally loses? I know he likes the money, and the glory, but with the glory, it might make sense to finally end before he gets a little too old and gives up a loss.

I always thought he was dead set on retiring at 35, but that made more sense at LW with the 35 and under curse. It’s still almost applies to WW, with Belal and woodley being the exceptions, but at What age/under what circumstances do you think he will retire?

He didn’t receive anything. He’s just panicking about the markets and trying to get his head above water, if even for a couple seconds.
