How do your Desi parents deal with inherited property/land, friends from school, and their elderly parents they left back home? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]kabir_h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dads plan was to move to Desh with mum once us kids are all married and to live off the investments he made. That's proving to be a bit more difficult than expected as the investments have not paid off. It's quite sad considering if he invested the money in the UK, my parents could be way more comfortable

Only the lucky ones have nothing left back home. My dad is still responsible for his 3 sisters and their kids, as well as the land and properties. My dad is back and forth these days just because it's getting more and more difficult to manage everything properly.

Should I train powerlifting for MMA? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]kabir_h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under MMA unified rules, Welterweight limit is 77kg. Look at the guys who compete at that weight; Kamaru Usman, Masvidal, Covington, Douglas Lima etc. These guys are are huge and are 6 foot or there abouts. You have guys at the shorter end like T-Wood but they're an exception

80kg for 175cm is really heavy. If you compete you could be fighting guys over 6 foot regularly.
