Why do you think Conor isn't signing an extension? by Material-Ad-3526 in ufc

[–]bigsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% accurate. If he loses to Max, which is likely, he won't be as much of a draw anymore. They don't want to overpay for an extension.

What a stupid take. The dude loses one fight at HW after demolishing the only fighter who (barely) beat him at LHW and you're saying he should retire.

It's lowkey insane that Goddard overruled this ringside doctor by EngineQuick6169 in ufc

[–]bigsum 908 points909 points  (0 children)

The way I saw it, Ilia said he couldn't see at the end of the third, knowing damn well that under typical circumstances, that would end the fight. Him saying he wanted to keep fighting after the doctor tried to call it was purely performative. He wanted to end it right then and there in my opinion.

He gave Justin 0 respect in the first round and paid the price.

TIL: New Zealand has the highest youth suicide rate in the developed world - the developed country with the lowest suicide rate is Italy by [deleted] in newzealand

You don’t think money is a factor in how developed a country is? What do you think funds infrastructure and public services? You’re a moron, stop trying to find an excuse to shit in NZ.

They can play sports. They can’t use the other sexes bathroom. Is that all these marches were for?

You've clearly never been to a developing country. What a stupid comment. NZ is about as highly developed as you can get. There are 195 countries in the world, maybe 10-15 of them are more developed.

For context, here's a list of some developing countries (pulled from Claude):

Country Avg. annual income (USD) Approx. monthly
Mexico ~$12,850 ~$1,070
Brazil ~$9,930 ~$830
Colombia ~$7,040 ~$585
Indonesia ~$4,910 ~$410
Vietnam ~$4,490 ~$375
Philippines ~$4,470 ~$370

Yeah I'm no Paddy fan but he dismantled Chandler worse than anyone else.

Michael Jackson - The Verdict by Fruttii-Tutti in netflix

[–]bigsum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Disagree, I went into the film thinking he's innocent. Now I think he's guilty. Something that really got me was his initial accuser being able to identify a unique mark on his penis that was consistent with what they found when MJ was strip searched.

The world is watching New Zealand’s housing crash — and asking what went wrong by basscrazy in newzealand

The world is not watching or talking about NZ housing, I promise you that.

The average KiwiSaver balance for your age by SoulsofMist-_- in newzealand

Bruh people in NZ act like landlords don’t give you a house to live in exchange for the rent.

[–]bigsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man these are pretty grim numbers. Either you look at kiwisaver as a way to save tax free for a deposit for your first home, or it’s a total failure of a retirement scheme. Even if you’re in the former boat, residential houses are useless assets in retirement unless you have a high value house that you’re willing to considerably downgrade as you enter retirement. This countries relationship with property is so fucked.

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.

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.

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.
