July 9, 20205 yr Author Welp, everyone thought he was funny with the girlfriend corner & his tax man interview, fucked all that shit up now.
July 9, 20205 yr To be fair, with little context, the old man was willing to be the hero that Lubbock deserved. It's painful to listen to someone like Mike Perry that seemingly has so far to go spiritually and emotionally. It must be tiring fighting the whole world and everything in it.

I think the old guy that got dropped might be the biggest idiot in this video. What exactly did you think was going to happen when you mimicked him and stepped forward like you wanted to fight.
July 9, 20205 yr Damn, Mike. That's gonna cost him, but maybe the judge will get him into treatment or psychotherapy or whatever he needs. Hope the old dude is okay.
July 10, 20205 yr On 7/6/2020 at 12:16 AM, youdunnf'dup said: I think Usman and Covington are pretty clearly the two best welterweights, but Burns hasn’t gotten his turn yet. For the most part I agree with you, but I still think it should be an entertaining fight. At least the first 3 rounds. On 7/7/2020 at 9:27 PM, JohnnyRage said: Usman has a cast on his left hand? Is that the one that he broke on Colby Covington's face? Watched that last night again. That was a damn good fight. Colby is a tough SOB On 7/8/2020 at 12:28 PM, ss13 said: -300 in Vegas. Paige is +550. Paige is a prohibitive favorite in my pants
July 10, 20205 yr Hoping everyone makes weight. So far looks like Yan, Aldo, Usman, Paige and Ribas, Rose, Andrade have made it
July 10, 20205 yr I'm starting to think that Masvidal was bullshitting a little bit about his weight and level of training. Poirier pretty much said so on the Teddy Atlas podcast, that he was his main training partner getting him ready for the Hooker fight.
July 10, 20205 yr I think it was well known he was training regularly up until at least the last month or so because he was expecting to be on this card....then the negotiations fell through.
July 11, 20205 yr benevitez has to fucking hate this guy. First he misses weight and KOs him in their last title fight, and now this.
July 11, 20205 yr July 11th has brought the fire in the past....both Hendo's H bomb destruction of Bitch ass Bisping and then Lawler/Rory fight were on 7/11. Hoping tonight doesn't disappoint.
July 11, 20205 yr Pre fight prep going great. I just dreamt about taking a nap, while taking a nap Edited July 11, 20205 yr by tx 3 putt

July 11, 20205 yr Also, no rogan tonight. I forgot he only does cards in the US now, if I’m not mistaken. I’m sure they would’ve had a fight companion, but Callen and Schaub still have corona

July 11, 20205 yr Information that could have been useful... AN HOUR AGOIt was posted an hour ago ya big goof
July 11, 20205 yr They’re showing highlights of young Jose Aldo. I think he might go down as having one of the greatest, borderline forgotten careers because of that loss to Conor. It sucks, but that was the one fight that literally everyone saw him in.
July 11, 20205 yr I hate to be “that guy” but is buffstreams still the service of choice for the PPV card?
July 11, 20205 yr Author Go here after 9:00, then you can bypass sportsurge. http://crackstreams.com/ I won’t be by my laptop, so can’t do it for the thread.
July 11, 20205 yr So how is everyone leaning with main card tonight? I will post mine so that they can be made fun in 5 hours:RibasRoseYanMaxAnd I want Masvidal to win bad, but my head says Usman. I think if it gets to rd 3 that Usman will dominate rds 3-5. Jorge gotta take him out early.
July 11, 20205 yr 34 minutes ago, Scraps said: So how is everyone leaning with main card tonight? Sticking with my earlier pick of Usman by lopsided decision. Volkonovski over Holloway by TKO. Yan over Aldo by decision. I'll pick the underdog Jessica just so I'm not the guy who takes all the chalk. Ribas by murder. Literal murder. Nothing left but blood and busted silicone implants all over the octagon.
July 12, 20205 yr Just starting to watch a little bit more MMA, so question for the veterans: several of the fights I have watched recently have mentioned that some of the fighters will be like an orange belt in jujitsu or something like that. How would they not all be black belts in whatever discipline they train?Is it that they may train in several different disciplines, so may not be black belt level in all of them, or am I to believe that there is some sensei that is the black belt grandmaster that is better than that particular fighter? I would assume that any of these guys getting on the main cards for UFC would be experts and thus black belts in whatever they do. Please relieve me of my ignorance.
July 12, 20205 yr I think on avg it takes like 10-15 years to get a jiu jitsu black belt. By training more you can speed it up, but it will still take years. I think BJ Penn got his black belt in like 3 years, which is extremely fast.
July 12, 20205 yr I stayed at a Ramada Inn last night, if you train at any real school it takes many many years to move up the skill and social hierarchy. It's not something taken lightly. Most fighters, unless you are from Brazil, don't start out in Jiu Jitsu. It is a later on expounded skill set. Most come from wrestling, boxing, striking martial arts. Here's one to blow your mind. There used to not be such a thing as 'belts', a black belt was developed from years and years of blood sweat and tears that discolored the belt itself. I guess bleach wasn't a thing.
July 12, 20205 yr Yeah, BJJ isn't a belt factory like Tae Kwon Do and other TMAs. You can get to Blue in about 2 years, which basically means you're competent and you can probably hurt most people in the real world. Purple takes like 4-6 years, maybe more, and purple is instructor level. Brown and black are for the badasses. So when you hear somebody's a purple or even a blue in BJJ, that ain't the same as karatay.
