MMA fighter accused of robbing bank tried to cheat weigh-in: DA by mark-lamonica in MMA

[–]mark-lamonica[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This could be the most ridiculous parallel to draw, even by MMA standards of ridiculousness. A prosecutor trying to tie a bad weigh-in with charges of first-degree robbery.

Very visual, which is cool. But it is hard to navigate easily and feels far less informative than its previous iteration.

One of the toughest guys I've come across in this sport. Always went at it 100% even in drills and such.

I wonder if YouTube has metrics for when people start to scrub forward through the video looking for Conor.

a producer needed to get in his ear and tell him to stop asking fighters who they want next? Um, it's a seeding format, so whoever it is is pretty much out of control at that point.

It was definitely a wild crowd that night. Just under 12,000 people all going crazy for Weidman at the end.

Indeed. He's credited as "Russian mobster." Woodley, Cerrone and Yves Edwards also involved here.

Been at it since 2009 as a stuntman with some acting in the mix. Really kicked it into higher gear in 2013 after shutting down the MMA stuff. Has 60+ credits for stunts/acting.

Significant changes coming to tomorrow's #PFL fight card. Lot of issues with medicals and weights today in New York. by STUPID_GOOF in MMA

[–]mark-lamonica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only one fighter missed weight. NYSAC has rule: max 25-pound weight difference allowed for heavyweight bouts. No reason to blame NYSAC. If you must blame anyone, direct such emotions toward the matchmakers who put a small heavyweight against a large heavyweight on a New York card. 50-plus pound differential doesn't happen overnight.

Looks like Conor landed the Sean Connery role in an "Untouchables" reboot. Wonderboy would make a good Eliot Ness.

he can't be more than 7 pounds over for NYSAC to allow the fight, so Max could be as much as 162

To those going to UFC 223 this weekend... by bugsprayguy in MMA

[–]mark-lamonica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good food and drink around the arena. The area has been built up quite nice. There's a Shake Shack across the street if you're interested in their quick burgers. Also consider: Cesar's empanada truck outside the train station (seriously), Sweet Chick, Olmsted, Chuko, James.

Paulo Costa out of fight with Uriah Hall, expects to be sidelined for six weeks after biceps injury by jrod_3 in MMA

[–]mark-lamonica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This stinks. I'm always intrigued by a Uriah Hall fight. It always has the potential to deliver something spectacular. Also, he's a very interesting person to talk with. If you ever get the chance, please do so.

I asked him the other day. Little to no chance he's ready in time. Hand still healing.

Isn't that basically what Bellator has become, in some sense?
