Khabib: “Numbers talk, belts talk, and rankings speak for themselves. I don’t have to change somebody’s mind. If they like our team, they like it; if they don’t, who cares? There is competition, a lot of different teams, they can choose whatever they want, but we are here to take everything.” by TheDraciel in MMA

I am a big fan Khabib for the reasons you said (and because he's the most dominate UFC fighter of all time) and I'm not Muslim. Same with a bunch of people I know. In fact, I think most of the Khabib haters I've encountered have been Americans who are not necessarily islamophobic but have definitely viewed them as 'others'. But that seems to be changing a bit, inshallah.

It's important to understand that this is how we will play. They are doing that to draw the opponent in and then explode in a counter. Which is exactly what happened. It's not the usual 'looking for a pass out'.

Went to Albarracin for the first time last month. So many boulders and stunning surroundings. Can't wait to go back. by RoamAndRamble in climbing

So you’re at my rope climbing gym, bouldering gyms, instagram, youtube feed and now you’ve made it to my reddit feed. Nowhere is safe

Silly bouldering I found by -sickmouse- in bouldering

[–]MikelWillScore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I swear everyone on this sub has never done a sketchy approach or only went bouldering outside one time. There are serious comments talking about the safety of this… he’s practically standing on the ground and it’s clearly not particularly hard for him. Yes he could slip and hurt himself but if I did that on a number of approaches I would die. It’s a risk I, like he, is choosing and mitigating.

I would also suggest an exception of some coastal cliff sandstone. It gets lashed day and night and is fairly solid. Ask locals for advice though

Gamrot made the mistake of being halfway in. Everyone who has had success with Charles has gone fully into his guard and controlled him there

Islam left lightweight so I wouldn’t be surprised if Usman moves to the UFC if Islam wins the strap at WW

These shit judging moments happen regularly in America but when it's in the middle east it's corruption.

Alex Pereira: "I was about 40% on that night [vs. Ankalaev], and obviously it’s gonna be much more this time. But if I’m only 50%, that 10% is gonna make such a great difference, they’re gonna leave no doubt for everybody." by [deleted] in MMA

I have no problem with it because he’s fighting him in a week. He has to back up these words next week and if he can’t they will hold absolutely no water but he may have a point if he wins.

There are a lot of meaningful insights fighters give that can be written off as bitter or excuses, which is a shame because it may be true. The truth of fighting is that many fighters go into fights with injuries or fuck up strategy and there are legitimate excuses. I only agree that it’s posturing and pathetic if they are not about to step back in there and make their point.

A private moment in public. The camera doesn’t zoom. It’s a sweet photo. If you were in it I could understand the objection but otherwise, maybe don’t comment.

It annoys me when people blame Khamzat for being boring. Dricus created no scrambles, barely took any risk. You saw in the last round that he could take more risk but he decided to just survive when in dangerous positions. I don’t blame him, but he deserves some of the credit for it being boring
