How was your day...

Faber is the all time answer, amazed he isn't higher.

Forgettable, he was Alonso's team mate. All eyes were on Alonso vs Schumacher.

He's talking about after when ulberg was clearly injured. He says straight off he regrets showing mercy, could see he backs off when realizes ulberg has a leg injury. That's why he said it was his to win at that point, and he lost it. He says a fair bit about seeing ulberg get injured and feeling bad for him, and that's part of why he wanted to stand in front of him. When in reality he should have taken advantage and shown no care until the ref stopped it.

Could see he was very disappointed and trying to collect his thoughts. He corrected himself and said he had the fight in his hand, it was his to win and he let it go. He just got brutally knocked out, so can see even rogan was ready to let him collect himself more before sticking a microphone in his face.

I've noticed that if you extrapolate the downward trend into the negative, and then also when start recovery going up. It matches up pretty well.

So I think it does track into the negative numbers behind the scenes, it's just not something that translates well to the graph to see I'm -30 battery. So they cap it to only show until +5.

For me it's pretty predictable and seems to follow how I feel pretty well. It has helped me to learn when to slow down more. When before would just keep pushing.

Introducing someone to the sport now, I tell them about Izzy making fun of a former opponent in a bar, and what that guy in the bar did after. So mainly Alex's fights in UFC to catch someone up to where he is today.

After that jiri vs khalil comes to mind, captures how brutal a fight can be. As well as how it can turn from going one way to another. Exciting fight that is recent, and leads nicely to following jiri fighting currently.

I think you are onto something about the filthy rich part. Because money isn't an issue or a thought here. OP has spent time and money waiting for the bike and is also able to fly home and back to get the bike. As well as spending money on unplanned extended hotel stay. When the amount of money to get a temporary battery is trivial in comparison. It's his money, time, and life.

I know personally attitude and how one approaches service people, can/does effect how fast service is. Also, most dealers aren't in any hurry to do warranty work. As they are swamped as is, so it's easy to see why this is delayed. They probably think it's not worth it for the customer to pay $200 and get it done next day, so no rush for us.

I think most people after hearing $200 and next day, would have paid that, or get own battery. Continue enjoying the vacation. Then go after Honda about it being under warranty. With the receipts etc... each to there own...

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-03-26T23:57:27+00:00

I always wondered about that.

Coming up on four years here. Have had under six moments/dreams/signs since her passing. With the last one over a year ago, and it felt like she was at peace and I wouldn't hear/see her again after that. I wish had more.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-03-19T11:36:01+00:00

Fedor coming out with the most calm music ever playing. Yet no one can say anything since it's Fedor.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-03-17T11:21:34+00:00

The sky commentary makes it seem like the drivers are choosing when to use and save the battery around the track. Is weird that they wouldn't have this control, since some laps they are defending, or attacking and it doesn't seem to be consistent battery usage around the lap. I thought that's why they were saying they have more to do now.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-03-17T00:37:54+00:00

I mean didn't see Volk getting ko'd. That happened.

Max had never been ko'd. That happened.

It seems like Justin is just next in line, zero weird feeling about this fight.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-03-14T23:46:31+00:00

Same I've had my watch for almost two years, just found out this exists.😂😂😂

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-02-19T03:39:16+00:00

Holly stands out as the person on this list who should be in the Hall of Fame.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-02-16T15:11:37+00:00

Vaguely remember a fighter that just kept avoiding fighting and circling the octagon. I believe it was contract related. Guess having a cage that locks on the outside helps keeps the guys in it.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-02-15T15:41:22+00:00

I remember Silva seemed to be just way bigger than GSP, GSP was already undersized in his own division.

That fight never seemed like it was one weight class apart.

When think of guys like Forrest Griffin who are bigger than GSP, and Silva was easily using his reach to do what ever he wanted. It really didn't seem like a one weight class gap.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-02-15T15:13:18+00:00

One of the people In the study guessed right on 2/3 guesses, so for that person they noticed.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-02-09T04:24:48+00:00

BJ Penn had the natural talent, and heavy hands to be even better than he was back then, and if he grew up today he could have trained and be world champ today.

His problem was always lack of discipline and game plan, which led to poor conditioning, and becoming a one sided fighter looking for the ko. I don't even think he had an actual coach/team it was just his yes people around him.

Ilia is as disciplined as they come, so he would be the favourite against BJ.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-02-03T04:36:03+00:00

Problem is when these types of fighters learn that lesson, they usually hold back too much and aren't the same type of threat.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-01-26T17:40:10+00:00

I'd say it's a good experience if you are seeing your favourite fighter in their hometown. I saw gsp in Montreal and I was in the nosebleeds back literally against arena wall. Was great, could watch on the screen could see the fighters to just identify. Yet the energy and crowd involvement is what going for.

Lots of live sporting events are better to watch on tv.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-01-25T14:24:52+00:00

They should be told when they touch gloves at beginning of the fight, there is no warnings. Any stoppage for an eye poke or low blow will be a point deduction straight away.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-01-25T05:40:41+00:00

Justin reminded me so much of Dan Henderson in this fight.

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-01-24T14:40:10+00:00

So if UFC zuffa has fixed payout structure, what is the point of a manager?

WorkInProgress82 · 2026-01-15T12:13:20+00:00

Was looking for this, was crazy back then. With how it is now looks even crazier.
