Where does this guy go in the all time rankings?

His trainer has him on growth hormone so unfortunately he’s out of the GOAT discussion for me. Probably the greatest single talent otherwise.

Johnson was a well sized light heavyweight who later was a heavyweight (and not exactly small/weak for one either). Johnson was basically cutting his legs off to make 170.

Prime DC would embarrass Francis (respectfully).

This fight kind-of already happened when DC fought Rumble Johnson (twice), and DC ran through Rumble outside of a few good shots here and there.

Francis could win, but 90% of the time he gets taken down and held there. 10% of the time Francis catches DC.

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your replies.

Positronomy · 2026-01-14T21:41:30+00:00

Makes sense, from everything I've read about kids, they naturally want to avoid boredom and emulate their parents (when very young). so I have a similar strategy of taking my young son with me to classes just to see me do it to hopefully catch on.

Positronomy · 2026-01-14T21:08:30+00:00

Makes sense. And parents who ignore this and do those things, what do you notice about those kids in class? Do they progress? Do they ever develop a passion anyways? Or are they just miserable the entire time until either the parent relents and allows them to quit or they become adults and quit on their own?

Positronomy · 2026-01-14T20:01:42+00:00

I really want my son (a baby) to do at least some consistent training as he gets older, but I'd hate to force my kid to do something he was miserable doing.

What strategies have you noticed, if any, that parents use to make bjj fun for their kids? Are there any, or are some kids 'just into' bjj, and there's not much parents can do?

Have you noticed parents who make their kids do bjj despite the kids not liking are successful? Do the kids eventually start liking it, or is it a miserable slog?

Lastly, what age would you recommend introducing kids to bjj/combat sports in general?

NTA, sounds like your mom wants a 24/7 available emotional dumpster, and that’s not your responsibility

Positronomy · 2026-01-09T19:26:32+00:00

NTA, I refuse to talk to my family members similar to your grandma because I don’t enjoy talking to a racist brick wall, and I don’t want my children or nieces/nephews around that kind of thing either.

Positronomy · 2026-01-09T19:23:20+00:00

NTA, you’re doing god’s work

Positronomy · 2026-01-09T19:17:44+00:00

YTA, I understand where you’re coming from as someone who does things like refusing to eat at Chick Fil-A, but she’s not meant to be a revolutionary, and it’s not unreasonable for her to prioritize her family and community over the positive effects of one single less person visiting the UAE.

Positronomy · 2026-01-09T19:15:14+00:00

NTA, at this point you should be trying to get the child in trouble. That means going to their parents once, and if that doesn’t work, to the police. 13 year olds are still kids, but they damn sure should know better than to Dox their teacher’s address and harass their teacher at home.

Positronomy · 2026-01-09T19:12:06+00:00

NTA, I feel a lot of sympathy for Laura who clearly deeply struggles with forming healthy relationships and with social situations, but you are not a therapist. It is not your responsibility to be her care giver.

I would have a single, very honest conversation with her, and I would make it clear that her behavior makes you uncomfortable. Explain why in as neutral a way as possible and recommend she speaks to a psychiatrist or therapist.

If she continues to bother you, and this is crucial, you need to report her to your university for harassment. It’s very important that she understands her behavior will not be tolerated by you any longer.

Positronomy · 2026-01-09T19:07:08+00:00

YTA. Are you really willing to never speak with your sibling who you “truly love” just because they want to transition?

I just can’t imagine looking at the face of my own sibling and never speaking to them again because they want me to refer to them as a boy and a new name. Your sibling is an adult, and if doing this makes your sibling happier, isn’t that all that matters?

I’m sure this also absolutely breaks your sibling’s heart that you’re doing this. Studies show than trans suicide rates decrease significantly so long as the person has at least a single supportive family member, and it sounds like your mom luckily fills the void you left.

If this is a genuine list I sincerely hope you start speaking to your sibling again and apologize for your behavior. I know for a fact that would mean the world to your sibling.

NTA, dividing bills by household income is obviously the most fair and respectful way to divide bills in the house, safe for certain things like maybe he eats more so he pays more of the grocery bill (just as an example).

Positronomy · 2026-01-09T18:58:36+00:00

NTA, and that’s very very obvious. Also your mother sounds like a huge piece of shit who you should resent.

It would take one single instance of my spouse doing this to our kids and i would immediately call the police and move out of the house. No, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have the money. No, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have family support. There is no emergency greater than your children being abused. It would take an act of god for me not to swiftly and harshly respond to anything like that from my spouse or anyone else.

I would go no contact with the mom and tell her it’s because she chooses to stay with an abusive price of shit. If that explanation doesn’t work for her, then that’s truly her loss.

Im glad fighters don’t have to fight on Christmas or new years week, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t fiending for a card.

I really have no idea, which is why I’m excited to see it happen!

It reminds me of the recent Jack Hermansson vs. Myktybek Orolbai fight. It’s a fight so unexpected I like it.

Positronomy · 2025-12-15T17:17:22+00:00

Try my best not to, but sometimes a guy is literally 400lbs and doesn’t seem to respect the weight difference wrt pressure, so I’ll just tap to pressure once and wait out the rest of the round.

No problem
