As for the bad stoppage, that was on Lawler for letting his arm go limp while getting choked. You see guys all the time actively letting the ref know they're okay to continue. Everyone in that arena thought Lawler was out. And yes, Askren got caught and KO'd. Anyone can get caught. But that's not the point. The point is Bo quit when he faced relatively mild adversity, while Askren battled back after getting it handed to him. Bo is more naturally gifted than Ben, but Ben was a legitimate fighter who didn't look for a way out.

Yeah, I "LITERALLY" didn't until you...I guess assumed I did and then replied to me. At THAT point, sure, I replied to you.

Well....that's like talking about how great a professional Baseball player was in AAA then. I mean...sure. But it's AAA.

I didn’t say in the UFC…

The interviewer literally said “he had tattoos that can be interpreted that way,” and Trump said “no not interpreted. Clear as day!” lol

I mean, he was 1-2 in UFC with Robbie Lawler...abusing him and Herb Dean with one of his worst mistakes(according to himself) by stopping the Askren Lawler match when he thought Lawler was chocked out. He...also was pretty notoriously knocked out in like...3-4 seconds after doing EXACTLY what Masvidal said he'd do, mocked him for doing...and then...as soon as the bell rang, he did it. It did not go well. So Lawler,Masvidal and Maia...and I don't recall how that went, but he didn't win and the guy was 40-41 and Askren was still like 34/35. This is kinda...what NOT to do as a Wrestler...no?

No, I'm not saying you're poorly informed because you're disagreeing with me, I'm saying it because...you're wrong. The right to protest or to freedom of speech is NOT reserved for citizens. It's absolutely afforded to anyone here on a student visa. That's a perfect way of putting it. It takes SOOO little if you are ignorant about the laws impacting those here on student visas or...any other types of visa, Green Cards, any other way you're on US Soil... it's actually amazing someone could be an adult and think this would be about ME disagreeing and just not understand Freedom of Speech or the 1st amendment and think that was somehow a personal thing.

You prob can’t see this anyway since it’s on FB. Just another guess to how it played out. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1212415187190671?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&mibextid=0NULKw

You need to look beyond the UFC for information on this. You should include smaller promotions who pay their athletes far better, and you should also include juco and d2, maybe even d3 guys. I would say the pipeline to mma has not closed, but to the UFC yes, most likely. When the UFC was getting going and the first era of wrestlers were coming through, these were guys who went through college on rice and ketchup and who couldn't believe that they could get paid to use their skills in any way. This meant they were willing to accept sh*tty terms and crap treatment from UFC management. The first cohorts also got their start in an era before the UFC reebok deal, which wholesale killed the largest source of income for athletes. Dana white is a good businessman, but he is 100% the daniel plainview of MMA. He has shown time and again that he is happy to burn the livelihoods of 1,000 of people to further his own means by .5%. Like all truly obsessed people, he is sociopathic in his pursuit of his goals. No different from Jordan or Tiger. This means, quite simply, you don't want to work for the guy, and wrestlers have tended to look towards more competitive pastures for their entries into MMA. Bellator has a ton of US wrestlers. Dana also cares about markets, and he gets all his grapplers from Dagestan because that keeps Eastern European interest in the UFC alive. Also, now, with NIL, wrestlers are able to actually benefit from wrestling in college, and they aren't assuming they have to wholesale destroy their bodies in order to have any sort of livelihood. The expectations of the collective of competitors has evolved greatly, and that is awesome for everyone involved. The UFC is not a good thing to be involved in, both from a health and career perspective.

I dont’t think I’ve mentioned Trump since November as many times as you’ve mentioned Biden this week, and we’re only two days in. But you know….feelings. Something something DS

Es ist schockierend, dass Sie das nicht auf Deutsch gepostet haben.

Looks like you have your next data project. Time to get researching on the heights off all past Olympic/World Champs at each weight.

I think the 'American wrestling is the best MMA base' argument is can no longer hold up to scrutiny, but I think there are plenty of great athletes that will come from American wrestling and have good MMA careers. But to do that, they'll have to shed the notion that their wrestling is going to carry them to the top. Bo didn't even do well in wrestling positions. That should be a wakeup call to him.

He has a great attack rate and offensive arsenal, judging from his US Open

it's 2030 america is being invaded trump sends the military to bottle up the beach head and send them back into the sea an activist judge stops the military from shooting... demanding a hearing for each soldier before they can be attacked dems and crazy woke wingers (but I repeat myself) applaud the judges ruling

Obviously Biden didn't believe in the Constitution and did not fulfill his oath of office. If he had Trump wouldn't have to be wasting his time on a workaround. I don't understand how Obama was able to cage immigrants & children, deport them and carry out drone strikes without due process. Maybe they taught him a loop hole at Harvard Law. Also how did we get around due process with the 911 perpetrators sent to GITMO? Maybe they were never in the US but I do remember folks complaining.

Melvin Miller

After looking up the UFC top 16 rankings, the the only D1 wrestlers I can identify offhand are Michael Chandler and Colby Covington. That's... not a lot. Has MMA evolved to the point where it's nearly impossible for D1 wrestlers to make it to the top of MMA?

So are the Larkin Boys staying put in ASU? There was soooooo much smoke that they were leaving to ISU. Or is there still smoke?

i agree, obama never ASKED if he had to follow the constitution. he just did it. and rightly so.

probably pretty well, but he can actually make world teams so that’s on hold for now.

watch out for the spying tech

i was just going to post to trimp that NO ONE ever asked him ANY questions about anything of substance

omg you are such a .. i dont even know what to call you the TDS is so strong... i bet you know what color under wear he is wearing
