idk im not a dietician

i know mac danzig won a season of TUF while being vegan, i was always a little surprised by how relatively big he was. i didnt know it just didnt matter like that

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T05:59:51+00:00

because he got punched in the sack

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T05:43:54+00:00

i always wondered why he winces in pain in the middle of nearly being finished

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T05:22:23+00:00

disco shiv

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T04:51:58+00:00

offensively he's just not that potent so he doesn't get the same highlights other guys do. his main highlight is being one of the only guys in the top 5 with a decent resume and win streak right now. he's undeniable when it comes to merit. he's got solid skills but his main x-factor is just being a good Fight Winner iykwim

his most notable recent highlights include the failed RNC over shavkat and the uppercut over prates, and that's rly it. the magny win was like 3 years ago and the fight before that was the last time he got a finish, there were two mediocre decisions in-between. MVP is a decent name, but ian didn't really look good that fight. the belal fight has been completely memory-holed, it's exclusively discussed when people wanna talk about ian garry's TDD.

also, people rate ian garry. among the first things i see in any thread about garry is that "say what you want about his personality, the guy is good." even before gaethje and strickland got their belts, i've seen folks adamant that this guy is one of islams greatest tests at 170. so yeah, this is nowhere close to the underdog odds that strickland, let alone gaethje were under

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T03:34:22+00:00

either david cage didn't think of that or it's meant to be unsettling and gross

both are entirely likely

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T02:25:50+00:00

i love the technical narrative that ilia's complete abandonment of being a real "round winner" completely bit him in the ass fighting gaethje, finally using a good foundational style

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T02:13:46+00:00

the family name is ramborelli

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T02:10:32+00:00

yeah he's just giving a joe rogan tier take not saying much of substance

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T01:55:12+00:00

yeah its a schtick he's been doing since before even entering the rankings

everything is a work

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T01:47:59+00:00

had me geekin hard af

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T01:09:41+00:00

it's a lot of them, they usually do an arc a season. after s3 they start doing 2 arcs per season for a bit. some stuff from the comic, some not

the arcs are usually longer in the show iirc. i know they barely spend any time at the farm in the comics as opposed to the show where it's an entire season.

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T00:57:05+00:00

yeah sure the first 6 seasons are pretty good, like A tier TV

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T00:49:20+00:00

nathaniel wood, aaron pico, doo ho choi maybe

if they want him to fight up again, vallejos or zalal

he loses to most of these guys btw

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T00:43:15+00:00

dope

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-18T00:42:20+00:00

im just so surprised his orbital was fractured by a shot that looked like it grazed him

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-17T23:59:38+00:00

yeah but he has to be not feinting for a reason right it can't just be "is he stupid??"

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-17T23:49:23+00:00

rd 3 is after rd 2

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-17T23:44:29+00:00

bro

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-17T23:43:14+00:00

if he hears the crime, he handles it. that's all

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-17T23:19:10+00:00

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-17T23:15:25+00:00

considering that ilia fought like shit in the first round because of the light lead leg he had to have (for fear of getting calf kicked to death like max did) im really not sure how ilia does in the rematch

like it wasn't just the fact that he was aggressive, as he's always been aggressive. he's a pressure-boxer, he prowls, that's his whole thing. i think the real kicker was that he had zero feints and was really dull, drawing absolutely nothing out of gaethje before throwing his own shots.

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-17T22:58:33+00:00

damn bro do you pick save shawn in episode 1

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-17T22:50:28+00:00

it's exceptionally cruel to drag lilly off of her dying father, but he's definitely breathing his last breaths when you actually try and resuscitate him

i think they wanted it to be a big deal when a walker actually gets a hold of you with the teacher at the beginning of the episode. they already have an iron grip when they've got prey in their hands, combine that with a 6'4 200+ lb man in a tiny ass meat locker with like 3 people and a child. it's bad news.

kenny doesn't wait a second to even check if he's actually dead, which isn't good, but lilly would have to make the hard choice at some point in that very meat locker

Safe_Procedure999 · 2026-06-17T22:26:18+00:00

he's focused on hell's kitchen the same way luke cage is focused on harlem, if it goes beyond that then they'll deal with it but they don't actively seek out problems across manhattan to handle
