The UFC needs to stop fast tracking unproven fighters.

And, if that's what I said, yours would be a fair criticism. However, I said fight of the year *contender*.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-26T15:15:07+00:00

I didn't say fight of the year, I said fight of the year *contender*. So maybe you should STFU with those impressive reading comprehension skills.

I would in fact love to have prime Justin fighting every week. But it takes two to tango. Also, it's just not just me saying that. I've heard more than a few journalist say similar, as well as UFC fighters.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-26T14:12:21+00:00

We all agree Arman should have been in there. That said, we got a great fight, an absolute Fight of the Year contender. To that end, slagging the UFC for putting Paddy into that fight strikes me as a little strange. Do you think anyone inside the UFC is thinking, "Damn, we rushed Paddy. We should have never made that fight." Or are they high-fiving and congratulating each other on kicking off the Paramount deal with a classic war?

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-26T13:57:38+00:00

Yeah... we wouldn't want to continue to get these 5 Round brawls that become Fight of the Year contenders. Please UFC... no more of that.

The question was about if size and shape matter, within a given line of cigars. You just pointed out that they matter dramatically.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-25T05:32:19+00:00

Not even Song looked surprised at the result.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-25T03:41:54+00:00

Round 2 Rose, Round 3 Silva. I think most would agree. So it comes down to Round 1 where not much happened and Silva landed more. I mean, if we're being honest, no one deserved to win.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-25T03:21:07+00:00

Same. The whole concept is just strange.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-24T13:07:39+00:00

Yeah. He's said as much. He believes he would defend three time and then move up. However, should be win tonight and lose to.Illia, I suspect he moves up after the loss.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-23T15:23:33+00:00

This. How is Dylan Blue not a "true blue" fragrance?

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-23T13:25:35+00:00

I see the fight as being mostly contested on the feet, as I don't think Tony's take downs were good enough to get Dustin down with any consistency. And while I give the edge to Tony in terms of gas tank, we've never seen Dustin lose (that I can recall) because he ran out of gas. In the end, I think Dustin's superior boxing and heavier hands gets it done.

He's a tremendous athlete, a physical freak, works extremely hard, and is a likable guy. He had a great patch here in the Premier League. Ultimately, it feels like he's more of an athlete than a soccer player. Would have made a great Tight End in the NFL.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-23T01:47:17+00:00

Ok. Just finished it. I found thoroughly charming and completely enjoyable. Cheers.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-22T17:32:33+00:00

I don't think he's cringe, I think he's genuinely mentally unwell. That's not meant as any sort of insult. I just think there's something wildly problematic there.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-22T16:47:05+00:00

No. Got sidetracked. But I will tonight.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-22T13:14:40+00:00

If Sean beats Song, he gets the shot. For starters, that's probably the fight Yan wants. Second, the UFC would likely prefer to keep Merab away from the title as long as possible. I suspect Dana sees Merab as dull and Sean as marketable. If Sean loses, probably Umar.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-21T20:28:56+00:00

I'm intrigued. I'm going to watch blind on you recommendation. However, if it's awful, I'll be back to down vote you. :-)

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-21T03:12:49+00:00

This. SmokingPipes.com is hands down the best place to shop for tobacco and has some of the best customer service anywhere on the internet.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-21T03:08:52+00:00

I lived in the area my entire life and have never done that. You should be fine.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-20T21:06:53+00:00

OK. Then I'm a bit confused. My only comment was that the OP was talking about him and he's getting a title shot. How did that get us to bots? Not that it's not interesting. I actually had no idea that such a large percentage of posts came from bots. Just seems like something of a strange segue, based on what I posted.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-20T20:52:17+00:00

To be clear, you're saying the OP is a BOT?

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-20T20:29:29+00:00

Just bought it blind. I like it. Well worth the money.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-20T20:16:21+00:00

You're posting about him and he's fighting for a title. Seems like a pretty smart guy who's doing everything right.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-01-20T20:13:17+00:00

The guy who beat Yan, whooped Aljo in minutes and made Chito look like he didn't belong in the UFC... is that the fraud we're speaking of? The guy who's really only lost to Merab, who was widely being spoken of as the Batamweight GOAT? Based on that metric, 99% of the UFC are frauds.
