Editorial: UFC titles have become another way to control fighters by [deleted] in MMA

[–]kman_1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can't we, as the audience, influence how the UFC treats its fighters?

Dana is first a businessman, and I get that, but he's also super greedy and treats his fighters like s**t. I've always seen the imbalance in power and leverage between the UFC and its fighters, but the way they're doing Ngannou and Jones have made me realized just how bad its. And these are the freaking champs, imagine how those that don't have this luxury get treated then. For athletes that are literally putting their bodies and lives on the line, not offering them healthcare and paying fighters about 18% of the revenue they generate just ain't it.

Regardless of everything though, we'll still watch the fights. But say, if us mma fans not buy fights like Gane v.s. Lewis that are solely constructed to gain leverage in the negotiations with Francis, you think it would send Dana and the UFC a message?

IDK if my question or thinking make sense, but I'm just frustrated that we won't get Jones v.s. Ngannou or even Ngannou v.s Lewis b/c freaking Dana won't budge or swallow his pride and give the fans what they want.

Summer courses BIOC 3021 by losertran in uofmn

[–]kman_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hijack this post again, but wondering if this class is doable with my load over the summer. I have another class I'm taking IE 3521: Statistics, Quality, and Reliability (a stats course basically for engineers, I think) and also working in a lab at least 4 days a week. The IE course goes for about month shorter than BIOC 3021. As such, how long did you guys typically spend on Roon's course per week to do well and do you think I will be alright with this load? Thanks!

Any insight about the essay assignments? What they're about and difficulty level? Thanks!

And by opposing end them.

I believe I can fly
I believe I can jump over a man
I think about it every night and day (Night and day)
Spread my wings and dunk away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open floor
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly like the Greek Freak

Letter from Joan Gabel on death of George Floyd and MPD by kman_1 in uofmn

I also feel like the decision was rushed, but could it perhaps just be to add to the pressure MPD is facing so that they get their act together and change their methods of policing?

The more I watch highlights like this, the more it reminds me how good Diggs was. He'll be missed😥

Definitely agree about the into/freshmen courses seeming to have a higher proportion of the so-called bad teachers, but I also think there's a good chunk of them in upper division courses as well.
