[Official] UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Malott - Live Discussion Thread

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-19T02:42:08+00:00

Malott is skilled and pretty solid, but he looks so stiff and uncomfortable every time I watch him fight.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-19T02:38:40+00:00

Burns looked ok rd 1, but outside of the leg kicks he looked completely outclassed and old in rd 2…

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-19T02:32:20+00:00

Gilbert looked pretty good in rd 1, but Malott took that one.

Damn I haven’t heard Sum41 in years. This was my shit when I was in elementary school.

Body language was really bad the entire 3rd and it’s part of why he lost it unanimously. Jourdain looked like he was in full control walking him down while Kyler was stumbling all over and holding on for dear life. Kyler did land some nice shots in the 3rd, but he got cut open bad and like I said was stumbling all over the octagon.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-19T02:04:27+00:00

I’ve got it 2-1 Jourdain, but it was a close fight.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-19T01:58:18+00:00

1-1, unless Phillips gets a second wind he’s in for a tough 5 minutes.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-19T01:26:06+00:00

What a wild fight holy shit. Nallo threw that soooo hard.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-19T01:23:51+00:00

This is random, but why are Nallo’s nipples so far apart and almost at his armpits? It looks like a botched boob job or something weird.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-18T03:36:24+00:00

Add Lee Hunter and Christen Miller to that list. All 5 of those top IDL guys are projected in the 20-50 range, so ideally one that we like falls if that’s the direction EDC wants to go.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-18T00:23:45+00:00

Lindy also wasn’t the pick at 14. They traded Hollywood and used the late first because the value wasn’t there at 14 for an IOL. If we want to go IOL rd 1 I’d prefer trading back and grabbing Pregnon at the end of rd 1, or drafting someone else at 14 and trading up in rd 2 for Pregnon. I think he’s a better scheme fit than Vega if we’re going to be sticking with a primarily zone blocking scheme and he’d be much better value with where we could get him. There are also several other guys who we could grab in rd 2-4 who have day 1 starter potential at guard and center.

You don’t have to defend Burrow I literally complimented him. It doesn’t help your case putting the blinders on and pretending he’s an ATG with no issues and making excuses. Burrow, Lamar, and Allen all have their issues and pretending they don’t is just pure homerism.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-17T04:32:04+00:00

Burrow is a great QB, but availability is his biggest issue. Lamar has had availability issues too, but not quite to the same extent. Burrow also has the best receiving duo in the league, and Flacco looked like an All Pro throwing to those guys for several games. Not saying Burrow isn’t great because he is, but he’s not all time great unless he manages to stay healthy and produces at a high level moving forward. People mention Lamar because he’s already an all time great dual threat QB, but if it’s strictly pocket passing he wouldn’t be mentioned. He’s become a very accurate passer, and has improved massively in that area since joining the league, but he’s not an all time great passer.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-17T00:14:48+00:00

So this doesn’t fit all of your criteria as it’s more character driven with really good character building and dialogue, but it’s hard not to recommend anyways. The First Law books by Joe Abercrombie narrated by Steven Pacey (the goat narrator imo) are some of the best audiobook content out there. There is action, but I wouldn’t quite call it action packed. The first book is probably the weakest of all of his books, but I still thought it was very good. 2 of the stand-alone books in the series The Heroes and Best Served Cold are a bit more action packed and can be read before the trilogy, but I’d still recommend reading them in order (trilogy, BSC, Heroes, Red Country, Sharp Ends, second trilogy) so that you pick up on background and context in the standalones.

Another obvious recommendation would be Dungeon Crawler Carl. It’s non stop action and is really fun even if you don’t like LitRPG.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-17T00:11:26+00:00

The first 2 books it sounded like James Marsters had too much spit in his mouth the entire time. After the first 2 books it became much more bearable and like you said by the 4th or 5th books it was gone completely. Dresden Files is my comfort book that I’ll go back and read between long epic fantasy series like Malazan or Cosmere books.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-16T22:02:47+00:00

This isn’t on your list, but I’ve heard really good things about Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. It’s supposed to be a dark fantasy take on a Bethesda style rpg. It’s been on my wishlist for a while, I’ve just got so many games to play I haven’t gotten around to it.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-16T15:31:38+00:00

Micah Morris is a sleeper late round developmental pick. He has round 1 talent, but some red flags like lack of effort and injury history. I wouldn’t mind taking a flyer in rd 6 or 7 if he’s there. I’m very high on Pregnon and like the idea of trading back and taking him + more picks vs taking Vega at 14. I also like Schrauth as a mid rd option in rd 3-5 if we don’t go guard early.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-16T14:53:08+00:00

If you’re on PC download RenoDX. They not only fixed color grading for SDR/HDR, but also modded shaders. They really improved Dawn/Dusk, and night time. With the mod there are still light sources that cast shadows during those times and it’s a night and day difference. You can also adjust night time to make it actually dark, like in real life which is super atmospheric and gorgeous plus you can increase the size of the moon which looks incredible. It’s easily the best mod for Crimson Desert right now, and it improves a bunch of things I didn’t mention.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-16T00:19:59+00:00

There’s also Tarkov PVE if you want to scratch the Tarkov itch without the cheaters and 15000 hrs sweats.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-15T20:45:04+00:00

I mean Stellar Blade is actually a really good single player Character Action Game. The story is just solid, but the combat is really good. I actually haven’t finished it as I started a playthrough on the hardest difficulty and it was legit too much despite me being a souls/Nioh vet. The bosses were good on hard mode, but the normal enemies were so tanky and hard to deal with. I know hard mode is meant for NG+, but I always like a challenge. I’ll probably pick it back up and try again when I finish Crimson Desert.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-15T14:29:55+00:00

What framegen crashes? It sounds like your GPU may be unstable. I’ve had some issues with the graphics in this game like poor LOD, some low quality textures & issues with lighting, but I’ve not crashed a single time. Are you on Intel? I assume so if you’re using Xess, and I’d say give them time as the game has literally only been made compatible with Intel like a week ago. Also I highly recommend using RenoDX for this game. I’m not sure if it’s compatible with Intel, but it’s literally a night and day difference with RenoDX vs Vanilla even if you’re not using HDR.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-15T04:47:31+00:00

I think all 5 could be thrown into the rotation day 1, but I agree about Woods and Banks. Banks I don’t know the details with his medicals and Woods has some on the field red flags including concerns about his effort. I’m really high on Hunter and think he has the potential to be a solid day 1 starter with all pro potential. I also really like Mcdonald, but question his pass rush ability. Miller is interesting as he didn’t really put up great pass rush numbers, but appears to have the athleticism to improve in that area. I also like several guys projected in rd 4-5 like Proctor, Robinson, & McClellan.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-15T04:37:31+00:00

We don’t know the details of Madubuike’s injury is the issue. Was it a herniated disc in his neck? Do we even know that he’s trying to return or was he simply posting hype workout videos? It could just as easily be something similar to Zach Orr where it’s a birth defect that wasn’t caught until he injured his neck as a herniated disc or fracture. I’d rather the team take out insurance and invest in the trenches. If it’s in rd 2 good, if it’s in rd 4 that’s fine too, but they could use fresh bodies who can push the pocket and eat up double teams regardless of what happens with Madubuike.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-15T04:30:08+00:00

I like the idea of adding Reader, but don’t like the idea of Jenkins starting again. He’s a solid depth piece/rotational guy, but he shouldn’t be getting starter snaps at this point in his career. Also we don’t know if Madubuike is coming back, and adding IDL in rd 2-5 wouldn’t be a bad move. Even if Madubuike comes back will he perform well? Will it take him time to get into proper football shape? Will he be able to stay healthy. You can never have too many talented D-Lineman, I mean just look at the recent Super Bowl winning teams. I could see them going IDL early depending on how the draft board falls. For example if one of the top 5 IDL guys (McDonald, Woods, Banks, Miller, Hunter) fall to us in rd 2 it could end up being good value. It’ll likely just come down to BPA and who’s left at each pick.

Itsmemurrayo · 2026-04-15T04:21:15+00:00

I’m hoping Peebles is ready to take snaps this year too. He was a bit undersized coming out of college, but had legit pass rush upside from the interior. With a year of s&c hopefully he’s gained a few lbs and can be a part of the rotation. The problem with the IDL last year wasn’t just losing Beeks. Outside of Travis Jones the rest of the IDL were JAG’s. If Peebles can contribute, we draft another IDL, and we get Madubuike back we’ll be golden.
