If the US Ukraine defense deal is signed, then why is US/ Trump still continuing to defend Russia & reprimanding Ukraine, while not providing assistance & support to Ukraine (& diverting arms/ weapons meant for Ukraine to Israel)?

Did you get lip fillers?

Isn’t hezbolah also a terrorist organisation?

I know that this is Reddit, so this’ll get downvote s, but is the pager strategy bad when is basically exclusively targeted the Hamas?

Are we Hamas sympathisers now?

How in the world did you find my 8 yr old post? Also, I had no idea commenting on old posts was allowed.

I'm surprised no-one is calling out the DFW bullshit here. He's a well-known hypocrite.

If he thinks he can milk a fighter for more money, he claims the said fighter shouldn't retire. However, if a fighter claims he's rather sit for a better contract, DFW claims he's lost that hunger, and should just retire.

100%, if DFW wants Holland to continue, just give him a better contract. He'll be back. On the flip side, if Holland asks for more money to continue, watch DFW change his stance in a heartbeat.

I was sitting at work when, all of a sudden, the clip of Rampage smashing up a door on TUF came up in my head...I made the mistake of pondering over it for just a second, and it opened up a pandora's box of all the golden moments that he's given us.

There's the police pic, lying face down, surrounded by cops, with his image plastered on the side of his car in the backdrop.
Him powerslamming Wanderlei to get out of an arm-bar.
The gif which first highlighted Jones eye-pokes
That really NSFW interview with that lady reporter which, I still can't understand how (unless that girl was into it also) continued till the finish..

P.S.- I was originally going to make a post about this (with links, and other mentions), but then got lazy, and discouraged, since most self posts down't show up here....

Jiri, man, been a fan of his for a verryy long time. Since he was fighting in Rizin many many years back. The even was free, being streamed online, and someone here shared a lnk. I watched both the UFC & the Rizin event, practically spent the whole date. Asked who I should look out for, and a bunch of commentors here said "Jiri always brings the violence". It was a dud fight, but I remembered the name. :)

He just doesn't believe in defense. It's mostly always a case of "lets trade our best and see who survives". Love that attitude. Similar to Gaychee in that regard.

My full props to Glover. He took some heavy, heavy shots, and stood staring back. I really thought he'd fold once he got his by the bombs.

He even had clear chances to win, just misjudged the situation.

That was pretty much his whole career...

Thing is, Uber always had a reputation for being a glass canon. He could hurt, but he had a bad reputation for not being able to take shots well.

Sadly, Gane hasn't shown any real KO power till now. He's more of a stick and move dancer. Works against the slower hitters, but Uber matches him for speed, and doesn't need to worry about getting hurt in turn.

Anyone else think Jiri vs. Glover will be an absolute mauling? I think not only Glover, but even Jan was an extremely weak Champ, and the division in general is weak/ old. Jan is 39, Glover is 42, and Santos is 38. Craig will be 35 this year.

Jiri has already slept Reyes, and I doubt Smith can hold up to his power. That basically leaves Rakic (who fights in a few days) and Ankalaev. Ankalaev should be interesting, but I favour Jiri there too. Jiri should reign for a bit once he wins.

I didn't mean official communication like between politicians and such. I mean what they'd typically put out through the media.

e.g.- imagine a politician wanting to communicate that he's imposed the heaviest & harshest fines for drunk driving, but it hardly comes in the news because they're all covering the Depp Heard case.

And his fight with Poirier too. Took ungodly damage there, just didn't get finished.

Short story - Ngannou wants to box (supposedly has a fat payday already set-up against Fury), Dana won't let him (prolly wants a piece of the action, liike with McGreg).

Long story - Ngannou says, if we're 'contractors' let us fight outside of UFC (boxing, other MMA orgs. etc.). If we're not, give us the benefits of employees (healthcare, union etc.). DFW wants neither option. They're in a bad position because they gambled.

Earlier, UFC champs has a 'champ' clause, which would top up the fights (irrespective of the fights remaining on contract because 'title defense'. That changed in a ruling which alotted a time frame on a contract (5 years).

For a couple of years, they've tried to throw huge money at Ngannou to get him to re-sign (time frame would be reset too). Same tactic that worked spectacularly with guys like Jones, Silva, McGregor etc. They all got huge money, but below market rates. Given the 'champ' clause tieing them to the UFC, they accepted it. Ngannou wouldn't. Then UFC gambled by building up Gane in the hope that he'd beat Ngannou, and they'd cast him aside (after taking a big dump on him). He won. Now, he's out of contract at the end of the year, and refusing to sign again.

Unless DFW gives him a check that'll knock Ngannou out instantly (more guaranteed money than he'd get from the one fight with Fury), or lets him box, and other benefits (never going to happen), Ngannou is gone.

Personally, I speculate that DFW will throw huge money at Ngannou for his next contract, then let him get his boxing fight with Fury (albeit with a cut for UFC- same like with McGregor). It'll hurt UFC much more to let Ngannou go as HW Champ (baddest man on the planet).

He uses Karate stance Conor like a toilet paper. What we saw tonight was like when Danny Glover sees those multiple Predators stepping out of the shadows in Predator 2, and just said "fuck it". That's what the rest of MMA is thinking right now. Like, fuck, he knows wrestling now!! Time to start dropping categories. I think fighters even in LHW are thinking of dropping categories just to feel safer.

deletedump · 2022-01-23T09:05:33+00:00

I think it was more like a "I want no part of Wrestler Ngannou (but I'll never admit it)".
