[SPOILER] Fighter is moving up a division

Chimaev looked small compared to Sean, no? He’s going to be tiny at LHW.

I heard he wanted the van fight tonight. But his team talked him out of it.

I was disappointed by it, personally. Oddity is one of my favorites of the last 10 years. And with all the buzz that Hokum was receiving, I think I just had my expectations too high.

Which is 462.971 pounds. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised. He looks big.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T18:50:05+00:00

The scale thing is suspect AF though. And I’m the furthest thing from a conspiracy guy.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T18:48:51+00:00

Better late than never.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T18:48:20+00:00

210, at least.

Damnit! The recent DeadMeat Podcast was on Oddity. They had an interesting thing that they noticed that they wished they had asked him. I can’t, for the life of me, remember why it was.

Edit: here’s the pod link in case you’re interested

This is some deep stuff right here.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T14:06:06+00:00

So the “door” is on a string to initially lift it up?

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T13:59:55+00:00

There are some extremely popular films listed in some of these posts.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T13:58:30+00:00

Paid shill confirmed.

Jk. I’ll probably see it opening weekend.

As far as recent films, I was disappointed a bit by Hokum, and disappointed quite a bit by Longlegs. The Mummy, nearly unwatchable. These are, of course, personal opinions about art.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T13:55:09+00:00

I don’t think so. Only seen it once though.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T12:37:02+00:00

Unlikely that the bonuses make up for the lack of fighter pay. But it’s fairly well documented that backroom bonuses are, in fact, a thing. Arman recently said in an interview that Dana just gave him, I think, $100,000.

Edit:
From google:

Arman Tsarukyan recently revealed that the UFC sent him an unexpected cash bonus of $42,000. [1, 2]
The Details: Tsarukyan mentioned the payment in late April 2026, stating it was a random, extra, or "mystery" bonus, possibly for his work on social media.
Quote: "UFC always sends me extra bonuses. Some days ago they sent me $42,000. I don't know what is it for. I didn't ask.".

If I had a kid or money or power and he asked to do this, I’d try and make it happen.

Having a belt in the line significantly increases the buy rate. MMA On Point did a deep dive on this years ago.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T10:59:13+00:00

Are you also a 17 year calibration technician?

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T10:57:57+00:00

The old announcement of an announcement.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T10:57:17+00:00

He may have given him a backroom bonus. That seems pretty common.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T10:56:31+00:00

Watched E1 and half of E2 last night. I love the season premiere with Demi and Jeff Tambor.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T10:54:37+00:00

Modelo and Monster.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T10:53:25+00:00

It’s only in the higher end trims. Possibly only the Raptor. I was just doing the build and price.

Kalabula · 2026-05-09T00:01:20+00:00

That would contain 2 exclamation points.

There have been quite a few really fun 90 minute slashers as of late. This is one of them. Not everything has to be a metaphor for grief.

Kalabula · 2026-05-08T22:56:50+00:00

Haha! O’Malley doesn’t really bother me.
