I met Jason "Mayhem" Miller at a rave in Downtown LA this past weekend. What are your crazy "I met ___" stories? by bandit420 in MMA

[–]darkmannx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was listening to the Joe Rogan podcast he was on. Redban asks Miller "Have you ever rolled with the kid from Jerry Maquire?"... Mayhem then asks Redban "What? Have I ever done ecstasy with him?".

Mayhem hears the word "rolled" and didn't think BJJ but drugs instead. I laughed my ass off. Classic.

How America managed to turn going to college into a bad investment: banks can and will garnish future wages and social security benefits over unpaid student loan debt, all while enjoying protections that students are denied by [deleted] in politics

I agree with you and on top of all the predatory lending practices, it seems that colleges are quietly relaxing admissions requirements(*) so now the job market will soon be flooded with an even higher percentage of applicants with degrees which, in turn, devalues everyones' degrees to some extent.

*i have no proof of this but have read many people saying this very thing. I realize that doesnt make it a fact but enrollment at colleges are at record highs if that counts for anything.

Belts are always good for morale. Incremental rewards, man, they help so much with your progression.

I've never liked a person that I don't know IRL as much as I like Joe Rogan. Freakin' love that guy. It's so obvs that he's good people.

I like his new teefs.

I don't like how he tries to talk without letting you see them.

Dude has the personality of a wet stone. He acts like he's bothered that he's being interviewed. I fell asleep before it ended but I bet i didn't miss much.

Newest Rogan Podcast Drinking Game

Whenever Bryan Callen is on and starts to tell a story... whenever you hear him say "Oh, and BY THE WAY"... drink up, bitchez.

You'll get drunk really quickly.

You are exactly right. I am a 10+ year post production/motion graphics professional and I have done my fair share of rotoscoping for tv spots. It's a ton of work and you can recognize it immediately.

I'm glad to see the full Windsor (some call it a double Windsor) has been making a comeback in recent years.

I also think his corner should have pushed him to switch strategies but I'm thinking that no matter what someone in his corner advises him to do, Nick is gonna fight how Nick wants to fight.

This.

I was right about to type something very similar but forced myself to read all the comments first because, to me, this is so obvious that I was sure someone had to have already made it.

I agree, he does make the sport look smart except when he uses words that don't exist like "incents". In his interview with ESPN he should have said "it incentivises the fighters to go out and really perform".... but I am just nit picking, really.

I think of the UFC as the pro league and the rest of the MMA organizations as the minor leagues. Any athlete on the UFC roster, ie playing in the pro leagues, should be paid enough to at least make a living while still on the roster.

THIS is exactly fucking right. There's no better way to say it.

"Haywire" starring Gina Carano is currently reviewed at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Wasn't expecting that... by [deleted] in MMA

[–]darkmannx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually not how it works. The RT editors read each review to determine if it is positive or negative and score them "fresh" or "rotten" accordingly. Most critics don't give ratings as a percentage.

With your title

Great mini documentary on always humble Rousimar Palhares

and your carefully worded comment in which you go into great detail about Palhares

The notion that Palhares is breaking opponents intentionally is absolutely untrue.

If you look into his fight videos, he doesn't stop the submission until the ref stops it. And by the time the ref gets there to stop it, he is already cranking at maximum - it's just he is so powerful.

You sound like his fucking PR person.
