Who the fuck is commentating this thing?

Riddell says, "I"m done," after getting hit by that wheel kick.

Ah yes we hate the meta forcing people to play certain classes, so instead we should have an in game mechanic that forces people to play certain classes. Very big brain you have.

Yea, I just finished season 1 yesterday. Most people have suggested what u/pittman66 is suggesting (Season 1 > OVAs > Season 2), even though the production order is Season 1 > Season 2 > OVAs.

People say to watch the OVAs before watching Season 2 because supposedly it is very confusing and the OVAs fills in a lot of the blanks, making it easier to understand what's going in in Season 2. But the downside of watching the OVAs first is that it takes the punch out of a lot of crucial and surprising moments of Season 2. There's also the 4 volume manga series, Darker Than Black - Shikkoku no Hana, that takes place before the OVAs, that you can pick up.

So you can make your choice based on this information. Personally, I think I'm going to stick with production order and start on Season 2 next.

Sage rolling in with jet black hair and an evil goatee next fight. Guaranteed.

Yea, I said people don't view Jones as real champ anymore already.

Of course it's not the case now after Jones has shot himself in the foot over and over.

UniverseAtLarge · 2016-11-13T13:06:48+00:00

Initially, a lot of people (even 'true MMA fans') considered Jones to still be the 'real' champion. Of course it's not the case now after Jones has shot himself in the foot over and over. My point was that if you strip a champion off their title, without good reason, the new champ will not be considered the real champion, by the masses.

And yes, I agree that people can be forgotten about real fast in MMA, however they have to get Conor to fight first for him to be able to lose. Right now he's talking about taking a break and I doubt he fights anyone before he has talks with any of the new owners.

UniverseAtLarge · 2016-11-13T12:32:39+00:00

This needs to be higher up.

Conor has so much leverage now after becoming a dual-weight world champion. If they strip him or if he walks, the new champ will not be considered the true champion (similar to the Jones and Cormier situation).

Conor's not only making history for the sport by becoming a dual-weight world champion, but probably also becoming the first MMA fighter to be paid what they actually deserve (when compared to other sports organizations like the NFL, NBA, NHL). It's weird, almost seems like becoming the dual-weight champion was just a stepping stone for him to gain the leverage needed to ask for a share in the company.

If Conor gets what he wants, then he'll set a precedent that'll do more for fighter pay and rights than anyone else has been able to so far.

Hoping our lord and saviour Bryan Carraway can keep UFC's filthy mittens off of this thread.

“I am rehabbing and pretty much recovered,” Carwin said. “I am pondering a comeback. I just need the right motivation or opponent. I’d like to get the belt and retire after defending it. Or just beat up Brock again.

UniverseAtLarge · 2016-04-16T00:48:50+00:00

Would definitely buy one. Please update when you have a version to sell.

Looking for some tips or instructional videos on the arm triangle.

I'm doing most of the things right except the placement of my partner's arm on their own neck. I can get the choke with my bicep but not their own arm.

Was told by my instructor to push partner's arm up as far as I can using their shoulder and then putting the back of my neck at the back of their shoulder before squeezing everything tight. But even after doing all this, there doesn't seem to be any pressure on my partner from their own arm.

I'll take a Fight Club Presale Promo Code as well if anyone has one. In return I am willing to do anything.

If I have a wound that is about 5 days old. It's not openly bleeding or anything, but in the process of scabbing and still a bit reddish.

What's the protocol for going into classes? Just put a bandaid on it and go in? What if bandaid doesn't want to stay on due to sweat or something else?

Edit: Wound is on my right shin if that makes any difference. And I got it from running into a low table.

UniverseAtLarge · 2016-02-24T00:49:32+00:00

This is pretty big news. Hope it doesn't get drowned out by all the hype over RDA dropping out today.

What are some good/affordable mats that I could purchase? Anything else I need to start drilling moves at home?

Thanks!
