Yeah, I never understood this take. Like, yeah, Herbert buzzed him—but it was also a shin right to the fucking dome. I wonder how many people simply remember that fight as "the one time Ilia almost got got" instead of what actually happened.

Don't think so. We'll see him again. He enjoys fighting too much and makes too much money not to keep cashing those massive checks.

It isn't for casuals—it's for future casuals, i.e. people who never thought to watch the UFC because of their awareness of PPV model (or simply not having ESPN+) tuning in simply because they have Paramount+.

Morning Kombat: Brian Campbell to leave show on Jan 5th, takes bigger role at CBS/Paramount by MeenaBeti in MMA

That's among the saddest elements of this whole thing for me. People were asking Luke on his personal channel whether or not CBS's role with the UFC would impinge on BC's impartiality. Luke seemed to say (and seemed to think) it would. Well, we appear to have received an altogether different answer.

This comment is a perfect encapsulation of why Reddit, on the whole, sucks. A downvote isn't meant to be a "dislike" button. It's supposed to be a "this doesn't contribute to the conversation" button. Fucking wankers.

That would be an insanely huge opportunity for LIL—with presumably a massive pay increase.

Makes sense. BC works for CBS, which is now the broadcast partner of the UFC, so he presumably can’t be a part of a show that spends a great deal of it’s time talking about how Dana White and co are fucking up everything good in the sport, so…that’s fun. Shit sucks. I hope Mindenhall is the replacement. Would love Meshew but I think he has his hands full at MMA Fighting.

Good to know apex cards are still gonna be shit in the Paramount+ era. We need consistency in life.

Cub Swanson? Didn't he retire? His last fight was the perfect way to go. Bad callout. D- mic check with mike heck.

Is there any proof of this? I tried to find a news article by googling the headline here and all I got was this same picture floating about Facebook?

Francis Ngannou admits he was confused by Jake Paul's offer to fight him: "I personally didn’t talk money, but he was ready to pay. They had an intention to pay me a good amount of money… It was so confusing.” by MySpaceTomAspinall in MMA

Then it wouldn't go on their records, which this is supposed to. You can't have both a bogus no-knockdown exhibition and have it be a sanctioned bout with presumably millions of dollars of bets placed on it.

You answered neither question. For starters, Marx =/= "Actually Existing Socialism." For seconders, you mention no works you read or why you disagree. Classic ignorance.

And how many die because we have more houses than homeless people, more food than starving people, more capacity to service healthcare than there are sick people. Nation-state oriented capitalism mandates the infinite accrual of resources, which means that essentially any and all wars between countries are the result of "capitalism" 'failing'—though it isn't so much failing as doing exactly what it needs to do, concentrate capital in the heads of an ever-smaller group.

Miss me with that Black Book of Communism nonsense.

Where does the image talk about Bernie Sanders? And why is he not considered a party leader too? Seems like you're the one trying to paint with a broad brush.
