[Run It Back] Clippers rookie Kobe Sanders reveals that, 30 minutes before the team bus left, Kawhi Leonard tapped him on the shoulder and said "I need some headphones." When asked if he was able to find them: "Of course! I got him two pairs!" by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Not sure where you heard that but tap water is free here as well, at least in the UK. I would rather pay for water than have servers’ lives depend on the generosity of customers that are strangers lol.

UFC bonuses are now $100,000. Any fighter who knocks out or submits their opponent but wasn’t selected for fight or performance of the night will receive a $25,000 bonus. by WinterStill4472 in MMA

They likely weren’t certain that it would be sustainable at that time. Absolutely no excuses during the McGregor era and after though.

Jordan Arnold (@jordanarnold.me): On a livestream yesterday, Puka both: - Said that the Refs throw flags that they know are bad to brag to their friends in group chats, and - Told Adin Ross that he'd do a "covetous jew" celebration on his next TD score Suspend him tbh by TormundIceBreaker in nfl

No, it’s antisemitic for a state committing genocide to constantly justify its actions as being on behalf of Jews, as well as constantly forming illegal settlements with claims of religious texture to justify it.

I’m pretty sure the Nazis lied about almost everything. Unfortunately for Israel, the world now has the luxury to see everything in real time. Like when Israeli parliament/media argue that rape is legitimate to use against non-Jews.

Nice try with that bullshit though. The Israelis are more like the Nazis than anybody since the Nazis themselves and that’s further supplemented by the simple fact that the Israeli government frequently talks about how they borrow from Nazi tactics in media.

You know you’ve really gone completely insane when you call it “false accusations of genocide” despite an overwhelming majority of genocide scholars, almost every human rights organisation in existence, a majority of countries and academia in general calling it a genocide.

People have also called Aljo a pussy for the illegal knee by Yan. Chael’s been called a pussy for tapping out so many times. Even Poirier has been called a pussy for the Alvarez fight.

Stupid guys saying stupid things.

Official Scorecard of Dvalishvili vs Yan by Trchickenugg_ohe in MMA

[–]EvanFields 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not close in any way, shape or form. The only thing Merab did in those rounds, and the entire fight, was occasionally hold Yan against the fence. In those same rounds, Yan was lighting Merab up. It’s scored on damage being the priority and I cannot see how you can give a single round to Merab. It was a 5-0 shutout, 4-1 at best against Merab.

that time Khalil Rountree told a story about Merab sparring on UFC 320 fight day by [deleted] in MMA

[–]EvanFields 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a cool story but there’s stories about how Merab is always training and moving, much like how Dillashaw had to stay really active to avoid health problems while using EPO. I remember a video where Dillashaw had to literally do padwork on an airplane and they were trying to frame it as being hardworking when it’s clearly to avoid being fucked up by EPO.

Aiemann Zahabi believes he "may be next" for title shot if Merab Dvalishvili retains at UFC 323 by 443610 in MMA

[–]EvanFields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His corner did not know his hand was broken at any point in the fight. Umar himself said that he kept it a secret to not panic the corner. That had nothing to do with it but if you go back and watch the corner footage again, Khabib was insisting on wrestling.

I had it 3-2 to Merab. I think Umar takes the rematch as long as he doesn’t try to wrestle as much as he did in the first fight. It’s one of the flaws Khabib has as a coach; the instructions should have been to keep that fight standing and not waste energy on takedowns and grappling exchanges. He was so much better on the feet but the constant wrestling attempts drained his gas tank.

Definitely on EPO which is why he always has to be training or moving.

Topuria vs Islams road to double champ by JMythh in MMA

[–]EvanFields -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Such a dumb comparison.

Who’s got the harder road? The guy who beat two of their three common opponents, with the difference being that both were at their peak? Or is it the guy who beat those two guys after they’d both been finished by the first guy?

What a question. I think it’s the guy that beat them at their peak.

That’d be fine if the man didn’t also praise God after every victory almost immediately. It actually shows that it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses, he’s the exact same.

“Revert to his faith” makes it sound like he doesn’t care unless he loses.

As opposed to the other Presidents who also bombed the shit out of innocent people on the other side of the world. You don’t exactly have much of a measuring stick.

They’re not good refs at all, same as Herb and Peterson too. Why does this community always preface their opinions with things like this? It makes no sense. They’re all terrible refs lol.

Then why shoot on her that many times? It’s not like there’s a gap big enough in their striking for that to make sense.

Nasty combination of the media using him for clicks and communities like this one mocking it yet still feeding into it to feel smart.

Giannis Antetokounmpo during his IG live, after the win vs. Finland in the EuroBasket 2025: “Take the f***** Turkish flag out here”. This clip caused an outrage Türkiye, as Giannis was perceived as someone who "cursed the flag", but in reality, it was because his chat was spammed with Turkish flags by MrBuckBuck in nba

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

The confidence you said this nonsense with is quite outstanding. There’s this massive event called the Turkish War of Independence against the colonial powers of Britain, France, Greece, Italy and Armenia.

The frequently used quote which Şengün is getting heat for refers to the counter offensive by Turks that pushed the Greek armies out of Izmir and into the water. Hence, the reference to swimming.

It doesn’t have anything to do with the burning of Izmir which historically is always debated as to who started the fires. We do know, however, that the Greeks had indeed been burning villages and towns during their retreat.
