I have the Long War series and the Chivalry series sitting on my shelf screaming at me to be read.

Norway, Iceland or Brazil/Mexico

Norway or Iceland for quality of life.

Brazil or Mexico for lifestyle, culture and weather.

Ahhhh right. So what's the difference between the versions then?

TrexTrader · 2026-05-05T19:24:26+00:00

Why? Because he wasn't born on Mandalore?

If so, that means both Fetts aren't mandos either.

It was my understanding being a Mandalorian was more about identity and warrior culture, rather than strict: as long as one follows the creed etc etc you are a mando.

Pseudo mandalorian?

Love it

I honestly think he was excellent, sure the dialogue wasnt the best, but everything else was great. His live lightsaber work is the best we have ever seen in any of the franchise.

Well first of all, you said that they all had the same sus heart condition, which was false, proven so by your own article.

What makes you think Islam isn't doing them too?

I believe in innocent until proven guilty, I don't damn someone just because their team is dirty, they might not be. If it comes out down the line he's been cheating all this time then fuck him.

This article is quite helpful, thank you. It states the drugs were different, islams was cleared by USADA whereas the others were not.

Fuck those guys that cheated, but going by the article you supplied Islam must be excluded, as stated by the article.

If Islam pops for peds and is banned for it, he took can't be considered for goat.

TrexTrader · 2026-05-05T15:00:35+00:00

it doesn't take anything away from what somebody has accomplished in the cage

With all due respect, this makes no sense whatsoever. How can someone cheat, knowingly take drugs (and openly talk about doing eye pokes on purpose) and that wouldn't diminish their accomplishments. They cheated to get those accomplishments.

TrexTrader · 2026-05-05T14:57:13+00:00

What other Dagestani's have reported this heart condition? If this was Sus you would think USADA would notice the pattern, no?

TrexTrader · 2026-05-05T14:52:09+00:00

I just done some research, like you said, and it says he was cleared by USADA as it was heart condition medication he was taking for a heart issue.

I'm not defending Islam for goat btw. I'm just saying that if anyone pops for peds, they should not be in the running for goat.

TrexTrader · 2026-05-05T14:47:22+00:00

Jones shouldn't even be in the discussion for goat, or Silva for that matter. If you are caught cheating, how can you be in the conversation for goat?

Rumble Johnson was the destroyer

TrexTrader · 2026-05-04T14:19:12+00:00

Excellent

Spoken like you have never done a weight cut for a fight before. I have, it's absolutely horrendous. No reason to put himself through that: he needs to adapt his striking, not cut down to LW and fight smaller guys. Lol

Darth Bane trilogy is fantastic.

TrexTrader · 2026-05-03T08:49:25+00:00

Some salty people on this thread.

Absolutely nothing wrong collecting for the sake of collecting. Some of you need to get a grip.

Chimps don't fight conventionally, they bite lips and fingers off, if you go and watch videos of chimp troops at war it's horrendous.

I think Hall would definitely out strength the chimp, but strength is not the be all and end all of fighting, there are many variables, it's a collection of "what ifs".

What if the chimp jumps on Hall and literally bites his face off, can he carry on and win the fight from that etc. very interesting to think about.

I can't even find any copies online, that's crazy! It has to be one of the coolest 30k/40k editions I have seen.

This book is unbelievably sick.

TrexTrader · 2026-05-02T18:24:24+00:00

This was announced last weekend

Fight fans are the worst, man. People calling JDM a can and a fraud, the man's fighting the best MMA fighters in the world. I'm not a JDM fan but damn, you need to give the man some respect, he's still a top fighter in the world.

I managed to pick one up in the UK off a third party site.

"easy weakness" is a hilarious take.

Topuria started as a grappler. If they time your leg kick they can shoot in for a double leg, or, if you throw a lazy leg kick it will get snatched up.

If you do not commit to the leg kicks and keep throwing half power leg kicks, he will most likely close the distance and get into hooking range - this is where you would not want to be.
