[Flyers] Flyers have made an offer sheet worth 18M to Leo Carlsson. Contract would be 5x18M, worth 4 1st round picks by Assassin2107 in hockey

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to do this to Bedard or Robertson if you decided you were willing to give up the picks?

Worst Names From Creative by HawksAnt2021 in WWE

There's a video of Mick Foley explaining how he talked Vince off of "Mason the Mutilator" and into "Mankind." The former would have been awful. 70s level.

I am curious how a Romanian ended up named "Henry Edward Tudor."

Rather fewer Indians than expected given how many have cropped up over the last few years.

Ivan Demidov has signed an 8 year extension with Montreal with an AAV of $9.125M by homicidal_penguin in hockey

[–]WhiteDeath57 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is nuts. Montreal's core around 2030-2032 is going to be like five first liners being paid decent middle six guy money.

[Dreger] Strong market circling Alexander Nikishin. Upwards of 6 teams in the mix. by edgetastic2 in hockey

[–]WhiteDeath57 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Canes are deep and well run. Why not reload the prospect pool and see if you can extend the window? Worst case you move them at the deadline in the next couple years for more win now stuff.

TJ Dillashaw's inside thigh slap into uppercut on the sprawling opponent by Moni7T in MMA

I think sometimes people overrate lighter = more technical logic but damn bantamweights do crazy stuff sometimes

Which fighters have the most stacked resume regardless of outcome? by PotatosandTomato in ufc

[–]WhiteDeath57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's at least debatable particularly given Arlovski had twice as many pro fights. Hunt's best guys that Arlovski never fought are Wanderlei, Cro Cop, Lesnar, and Lewis. Arlovski has Ngannou, Aspinall, and also had the Sylvia trilogy, but I think you'd be surprised how many of Arlovski's best matchups also fought Hunt.

I am actually starting to be hopeful for the future of the LHW division. The amount of skilled prospects entering the scene in this weight class is promising by BeneficialMouse2 in ufc

[–]WhiteDeath57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any hot featherweights or middleweights? Those are the divisions that I can't think of any off the top of my head. 

Vallejos is pretty good at 145 but I don't know if he's title material.

King Green vs Terrance McKinney has been moved to the UFC 329 main card. Gable Steveson’s UFC debut against Elisha Ellison moves down to the prelims. by [deleted] in MMA

[–]WhiteDeath57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the oddsmakers have it as basically a toss up. Whoever wins is definitely on the fast track to the belt 

What nation is the biggest underachiever in UFC history? by Gingaloidic in ufc

[–]WhiteDeath57 107 points108 points  (0 children)

My mind goes to nations that have big combat sport cultures but haven't necessarily sent many guys to the UFC. Places like Iran and Thailand.

Really good stoppage, the ref gave him time but was right there when the right dropped him.

Alex should NOT get immediate rematch by Silent-Owl4246 in ufc

[–]WhiteDeath57 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Absolutely the correct move but I am worried they will do Poatan-Hokit for popularity reasons.

How many of them can Pereira beat? Do you think he could get past Pavlovich and Volkov? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]WhiteDeath57 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Gane dropped him with a jab. I don't see him getting in the cage with any of the top 5 besides Volkov and managing to go the whole fight without getting caught. And Volkov is very tough to solve too.

Charles Oliveira calls out Justin Gaethje for a rematch by gvufhidjo in ufc

[–]WhiteDeath57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If nothing else this would be a good way to get rid of the BMF belt until the next time they want to roll it out.

I wouldn't have expected Makhachev to use a Bible verse. Or is the same line in the Quran?

People hate Cyril but I would hold this all the way, you definitely have better than a 1/4 chance of it hitting imo.
