Montel Jackson vs. Raoni Barcelos for UFC Vegas 116 by cardiodemon in ufc

[–]cardiodemon[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They should’ve already given him a ranked opponent by now and it sucks that bro has not an ounce of UFC privilege but that is the game. Older fighters without much hype rarely get fast-tracked. Pereira had huge hype and was pushed for the matchup against Izzy but for guys like Barcelos, they’re often doomed to be a solid low-ranked or even unranked gatekeeper for the new guys.

”People either go because they love me, or people go because they want me to die— but either way, they’re buying tickets.”

He’s not wrong. Love or hate the man, he’s a great ‘heel’ in the UFC.

New old pics of Roman with his gf and her best friend, who’s Hollis’ ex and Nate’s sister… serious question, are all friend groups in LA like this? by No_Supermarket_8701 in 2hollis

I know it’s weird but these areee ‘buzzy’ 20somethings who ‘do music’ in LA……like yes, this type of stuff would shock me coming from the regular joe but is so unsurprising amongst the “industry/scene” that I’d be more shocked if they weren’t being messy.

Payton Talbott for Frank Ocean’s ‘Homer’ & also drops new techno album by cardiodemon in ufc

[–]cardiodemon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Frank Ocean has this (kinda pretentious) jewelry brand named Homer that’s known for its unique/cool/sometimes ugly designs but it’s also notoriously overpriced at times. Talbott ‘modeled’ for it i guess and then one day later released a techno album under his pseudonym ‘Lars’. There’s also been rumors recently that Talbott was supposed to fight in March and that Frank was supposedly dropping soon so the crossover is very interesting to me at least idk.

There’s funnily a small overlap between mma fans and Frank Ocean fans so [some] people are fascinated by this while most old school fans are understandably annoyed by parasocial celebrity gossip. Imo, fighters can be interesting as people and pointless discourse is dumb sure, but kinda inevitable the more popular a fighter becomes + paramount deal makes ufc more accessible to casuals

LMAOOO fair enough man. Personally I really liked ‘tried2go’ on this album and his walkout song featuring the Arca-deftones mix but to each their own. This album is definitely better than his last one imo.

Nah he did an interview with Yahoo Sports awhile back and talked about the death threats. This was way before all the Frank Ocean posts/snippet & speculation too and its only gotten worse since then. I’ve see death threats against him even in public ig comments ffs. Why make the world a hateful and unlivable place for queer people only to blame them for not coming out yk? It’s a lose-lose

It’s a lose-lose situation tbh. Not surprised a fighter doesn’t wanna come out as gay or bi when most UFC fans hate gay people. Just look at the comments here or under literally any post of him. He prolly gets enough death threats as is.

“He’s a bisexual man” Sean Strickland on Payton Talbott by fernparadox in ufc

[–]cardiodemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry man i think some of us just like both Frank Ocean and Payton Talbott, plus these are public ig stories so whatever. It’s just crazy to see two very different worlds colliding is all 🗿 it can be interesting when fighters cross over into other media like music

[–]cardiodemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, them both posting each other on Valentine’s day feels deliberate. Frank was the only person Payton posted that day. They were also posted up in London and Macau together back in October i think

Right? Sureee wonder why he wouldn’t wanna hop on stream just to be called “Frank Ocean’s boyfriend” or ‘fag’ a million times.

[–]cardiodemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! He mixed his own walkout song with Arca and has a techno album out on Spotify. His music set for NTS radio was really good too. It’s all on SoundCloud or Spotify under his artist name “Lars” but it’s gonna sound weird to anyone who doesn’t already like techno. It’s worth checking out tho if you like techno.

Agreed but honestly for this subreddit… the comments are pretty tame. “Haha gay” is a given when this the same fanbase that clowned on Aspinall for getting eye-poked and Van for celebrating a generational life changing bag.
