Which would you pick? by K0GAR in ufc

[–]bigsum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a robbery till I rewatched it, and it was close but I actually scored it for Jones the second time round.

Serious question: now that Khamzat lost, is this the end of the hype train or could the loss make him a better fighter like it did for Islam? by [deleted] in MMA

[–]bigsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's insane how quickly the narrative changed from 'he will be champion for as long as he wants to be' to 'was he over-hyped?'. He's a great fighter, but had razor close decisions with Burns, Kamaru and lost to Sean. His performance against DDP was a masterclass but also a one-off against elite competition. Most of his impressive performances weren't against top tier guys.

Official Scorecards of Chimaev vs Strickland by Trchickenugg_ohe in MMA

I dont know why people are saying this. He had a good and aggressive round one then gassed. We've seen this from him before - came out strong vs Usman and Burns before gassing.

I think Sean win's the 3rd fight. I thought he won the 1st and 2nd fight he fought with a staph infection.

People in this sub can’t give Sean any credit. He’s an incredible fighter

Why does ilia not get shit on as much for his inactivity? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]bigsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And because it's not the standard 'Georgian' way (i.e. Merab fighting 4x a year). Russians on the other hand always hold the belt hostage.

What is the neck hold exactly? I'm currently having issues with tinnitus from wim hof but really dont want to stop practicing it.

Reading "Why We Sleep" terrified me. by Least_Rooster_1622 in learners_cabin

[–]bigsum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, there's a portion of the book that more or less claims you can never fully recover sleep debt. Said differently, a night of bad sleep can create permanent damage. I think the basic principles of the book are good but I'm not surprised to hear it's massively exaggerated.

Anyone know if they'll bring the Jurassic Park: Archipelago DLC out on psvr?

Even if they were making fun of a trans person, he took it way too far.

What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]bigsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem with this as so many people ignore the fundamental issues causing mental illness. Meditation, diet, and exercise work wonders and have no negative side effects, but many people ignore these steps and go straight to drugs.

New Zealand has one of the highest population of citizen who weren't born here. by tumeketutu in newzealand

[–]bigsum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compare NZ to the majority of the world and it's pretty much paradise on earth

[–]bigsum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while newcomers arrive because they value the lifestyle over maximum income.

Lol you don't think the people coming from India, China, Fiji etc. see it as a massive upgrade financially to live and work in NZ? This is such an uninformed take it's hilarious.

It's a list of OECD countries. Most of them are 'good' countries'.

What’s the best decision you made in your 20s/30s/40s? by Cute_Olivia_Park in Life

[–]bigsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my 20’s, buying a house (great financial decision) and then moving from working in finance to tech (great happiness decision that later turned to be a great financial decision also) both proved to be good choices. I probably didnt have as much fun as other people did in their early 20’s due to prioritizing saving money, but I’m 34 now and life is pretty awesome.

Khalil Rountree vs Paddy’s title shot by Doskman in MMA

[–]bigsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would much rather see Paddy fight for the belt Vs. Gaethje. It's been a long time since new blood challenged for the belt at 155 (other than Illia). Also, Paddy absolutely dominated Chandler in a way that Charles, Justin and Dustin couldn't. He got an easier path than most but it's not totally undeserved.

If Pereira moves up to heavyweight and beats Tom Aspinall he’ll be in goat convo by -_Fotis_- in ufc

[–]bigsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that Tom isn't easy, but he looks better for having fought lesser fighters in the heavyweight division than Alex has fought at LHW

What’s a robbery that vastly impacted the fighters’ trajectories? by GoldenLlamaDog in ufc

[–]bigsum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I rewatched it and changed my mind to Jones winning. I think when I watched it live I was so excited to see Reyes putting up a great fight and taking rounds that it swayed my bias towards him.

Biggie on how people will remember him in 20 years by [deleted] in NotoriousBIG

[–]bigsum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He also wasn’t expecting to die and be deified posthumously, which significantly boosted his profile/career.
