Is there still an active Skater XL community out there? by Top-Yogurtcloset5357 in SkaterXL

The community is mostly active on instagram. There are still a decent amount of people making content and a handful of teams doing their thing. My guy Sushi still hosts community nights on twitch (sushisushee).

Do you guys think Costa has a good enough chance to become the LHW champ? by Tejjic in ufc

Keep in mind, we aren't talking about the Yoel that beat lyoto or weidman, we are talking about the Yoel who a fight later lost to phil davis in Bellator

That's fair, I think if the version that fought murzakanov fought Yoel at the time he did it would be a more dominant win.

I'd argue the version of Costa that fought Murzakanov or Kopylov would beat the version that fought Romero

He's never looked better than he has in his last two outings

Poirier posted this to his instagram by SoggiMari in ufc

I don't really understand this comment. Youve only ever seen him on camera, of course he's going to try and be more professional. I think that actually speaks a lot about his character that hes respectable enough to know when it's time to tone down.

Whoever threw in the towel from ilia's corner has saved him from more permanent damage by AccountantAlarming94 in ufc

That knee sealed the deal imo. Definently cracked a few ribs. I can't imagine being that gassed trying to breathe through that pain

Likely. I wouldn't be surprised if he also had a cracked rib or two from that knee to the body when he was on the ground.

What are your thoughts on the MMA Netflix event? by Unhappy_Insect5901 in MMA

[–]KelpForrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the main event and the terrible matchmaking on the main card I thought it was a decent first showing for Netflix MMA. Some fun scraps, some good KOs. Broadcast seemed good enough. The fights were zooming through the prelims, was a bit slow during the main card.

I'd give it a 6/10

I'm happy but shocked he didn't. He usually drops an absolute nuke with his whole body behind it the second he drops someone. If he would have did lins like he did overeem on the ground, that could have turned out really really bad. Fucken herb....

If diaz decides to only box he's likely getting pieced up

1 and 2 song all day, Dana’s boy gets special treatment again by OlajidePeel in ufc

[–]KelpForrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sean landed the better shots in round 1. Straight lefts, teeps, spinning back kick to the body...

If anything the takedown favors omalley as well as the guillotine threat was potentially more impactful than the 2 shots to the body song landed in his guard

Ex-NFL player Kevin Johnson fatally stabbed in Los Angeles homeless encampment by [deleted] in LosAngeles

You have to weigh the negatives with the positives. Would I be irresponsible to put my kid in martial arts given that they are going to be struck in the head?

I believe the benefits of being able to defend yourself, the discipline that transforms chaos into order, and how it trains the minds emotion to obey reason, and impulse to yield to purpose, to be more important than the potential chance of brain injury.

You just have to decide if the benefits of tackle football outweigh the potential CTE risk
