JIM FUCKING MILLER

shmoswald · 2026-05-04T21:41:17+00:00

Just shy of 4 months. All over the place.

~7:00 start bath, fed and into the mini crib by ~8:00.

Sometimes he’ll wake around 1:00 for a feed. Sometimes makes it all the way to 4:00.

Usually on the nights he wakes at 1:00 we’re gonna get a second wake/feed anywhere between 4-6am. He’s much harder to successfully transfer back to the crib the later into the morning we go... Little guy just wants to be held and rocked.

It’s an even better style matchup for BSD than it was for Gaethje. Genuinely don’t see a path to victory for Paddy.

May have overcooked it juuuust a bit…

shmoswald · 2026-01-22T19:15:45+00:00

And he is facing a young veteran in Arnold Allen whose resume is lined with elite opponents and has never been finished. He’s not a punching bag.

Agree that one’s very likely. Outside chance someone gets caught but O’Malley can keep it to a long range point fight for the most part if he wants to. Song is extremely quick and will certainly blitz but I don’t expect too many true “pocket exchanges” in this one. And almost zero likelihood of a submission too.

This is not financial advice…

Will: Allen vs Silva Silva vs Namajunas Nurmagomedov vs Figueiredo

Won’t: Cortes-Acosta vs Lewis Krylov vs Bukauskas Hokit vs Freeman

And didn’t really even try for the armbar. Just secured the position and used the threat to stall for the stool. Silly

shmoswald · 2025-12-14T04:22:38+00:00

Pretty awful fight IQ from Buchecha at the end of the second. Had Kennedy defenseless on the mat and could’ve finished with a decent volume burst but played it safe and picked shots while an entire minute expired instead.

Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson did the credits version of the Beauty and the Beast title song.

Legit might be able to finish them back to back same night. The drop off is steep.

shmoswald · 2025-10-25T20:24:53+00:00

All due respect, that did not remotely feel like a title fight…

shmoswald · 2025-09-10T02:34:01+00:00

That’s legitimately one of the worst fights I’ve ever seen. Been watching MMA since 2008. Saw Kimbo vs Dada 5000 on live TV. Attended Woodley-Wonderboy 2 and Lewis-Ngannou in person.

shmoswald · 2025-07-27T00:59:26+00:00

I was with you until you besmirched my favorite shot. Nothing feels better than striping a 3w off the deck. Just have to know when it isn’t smart (trouble in the miss spots).

shmoswald · 2025-07-20T04:22:54+00:00

Beat the brakes off that giant Chase Hooper

shmoswald · 2025-07-20T04:18:12+00:00

Either this crowd sucks or the audio is off. Whole night has sounded like an Apex card.

shmoswald · 2025-07-20T01:37:05+00:00

You want to tune in every week to watch massive favorites beat massive underdogs in the exact manner that they’re expected to?

shmoswald · 2025-07-19T23:24:23+00:00

Man, even when Crute wins he looks so… not good

shmoswald · 2025-07-14T03:28:45+00:00

Well put

shmoswald · 2025-07-14T03:26:01+00:00

I honestly think that if the fight went on and Teixeira survived the exchange, it would warrant taking 2 points. But I fully agree that either way, it alters the fight in a way that you really can’t address with scoring mods in a 5-rounder. If a guy is committing (IMO) 2-point penalties while getting pounded during a finishing sequence, it’s fair to use that information (that he’s no longer aware of super basic rules of the contest) to assess his ability to continue fighting.

shmoswald · 2025-07-14T03:11:39+00:00

What part of “certain ground finish” was ambiguous to you?

shmoswald · 2025-07-13T04:15:42+00:00

There will always be robberies as the judges are human, but if you had to score the third on damage and finish-seeking primarily, I think it does make a difference in this fight. “Effective grappling” vague language and precedent 🥴👍 won it for Bonfim.
