I totally agree but the post I quoted was about Lombard getting pummeled unmercifully in the 2nd round.

Sounds like Lombard's the victim of late stoppage. Corner men and the fighters have to discuss this shit and stop with the "i'm willing to die in there" bs. There's times where a bad ref or where one fighter gases and the other can intentionally extend the beat down by not doing enough to end it (Dos Santos vs Cain twice.) Cain admitted to this somewhere then changed his story later. Junior's a pretty righteous dude so that's pretty chicken shit imo.
I think it was Bas on the Rogan podcast talking about the unwritten rule where when a fighter's had enough they give the up the rear naked choke to their opponent. A perfect example is Nate Diaz vs Conor. Like a professional Nate landed the choke asap, respect. He did not have to take it, he could of beat on Conor a couple more rounds. Matter of fact I take back all the negative shit I said about Nate.
Then there's guys who know they can land the choke but would rather beat on their gassed out opponent til stoppage. Then there's the truly evil shit where you pull back just before a stoppage over and over, (Cain v Dos Santos.)
RDA said he's was going to do this to Conor and i can almost guarantee it would of worked. Cornermen should discuss this scenario and be willing to throw in the towel. Damn good chance Conor would of got fucked up really bad vs Dos Anjos. I watched the Firas Zahabi pre fight analysis of RDA vs Conor. That guy really knows his shit and long story short, RDA is a good at everything with infinite cardio. He said he really thinks RDA can fight 20 rounds.
Have to agree.. I love the knockout mode where the object is just kick ass.. Took out Aldo in 10secs with McGregor..
Side note. Ive simmed the Jones Vs Cormier fight 10 x so far and its 6-4 for Jones everytime Cormier has beaten him however, was the same way DC beat Rumble by closing in going in for close quarter combat and on the ground outwrestling and ground and pound.. If and this is a big If Cormier can neutralize Jones reach advantage by taking it to the ground, he has a chance but that's really his one option otherwise Jones will pick him the hell apart..
My one complaint is all the fighters with 0-0 records and no way to edit the records at all.. Was hoping that would've been fixed from the original game.. It sucks when you have Buffer announcing these guys as making their debut when its nowhere the truth.
BTW have you found the awesome Easter Egg of a WW fighter that was released (gotta use the old school up up down down left right left right X O).. Was kinda cool I thought and hes decent in the game..
Jon Jones might be the worst driver in the history of driving

When I say this everyone freaks out haha.

And now he's been arrested for violating his Probation conditions.. Dana has to be about to have a coronary while at the same time wanting to fly to NM and just slap the shit out of Jones for being this fucking stupid and potentially fucking up the UFC 197 title fight. Here's the line from UFC :
"UFC is aware that Jon Jones turned himself into the Albuquerque Police Department this morning for a potential probation violation stemming from a traffic stop last week," the organization said in a statement issued Tuesday. "UFC has been in touch with Jones' legal team and will have no further comment until the organization has had appropriate time to gather necessary information."
I know hating on Jon Jones is cool but I'm not comfortable with his probation violation. He got fucking railroaded by an unprofessional, smart ass officer who had an ax to grind. If you've ever been pulled over for bullshit then you know how hard it is to keep quiet while the officer tries to provoke a reaction.

Most of those tickets are "I hate you" tickets and the officer stated his dislike of Jones, wow! They both agree Jon Jones did not go over the speed limit, let that sink in. Jon Jones looking to speak into the camera asap and his body language and everything tells me this whole thing is bullshit. He can't be sure it wasn't caught on camera. Someone get a petition, this is bullshit. Turn up the heat on the unprofessional probation dept and the unprofessional officer for harassing Jones within the law, its bullshit. Remove your "pregnant lady hit n run" bias, it has no bearing here.
Free Jon Jones
Not sure if you're serious or trolling, but I can tell you from my own past experience that you do not have to break the speed limit. I got pulled over for basically the same thing(revving engine and peeling out from a red light) and received a reckless driving ticket.
Listen, breaking someones arrogance isn't an easy task. Generally the arrogant asshole has to have someone close to him die, or he has to be permanently crippled, like blinded, paralyzed or some shit like that before he finally figures out what a complete ass he is. By that time it's waaaaay to late in the game and everyone in that assholes life has given their last fuck. That's what I just watched. That you would cheer that behavior on tells me you are most likely a Bernie Sanders voter.
Hell, if I were his representation, I would try to get Lyft or Uber to be a sponsor and have one of their drivers drive him from place to place each......oh wait, that's right, Jones can't have sponsors outside of Reebok unless the UFC approves it (and takes their cut. They instituted a "sponsor tax" after Vitor and Anderson were getting 250k deals from Burger King Brasil).
Additionally, why the fuck is he talking back to a cop? Now, I support the 1st amendment right to tell a police officer he's wrong, that he's being an asshole, swearing, etc. But this isn't about that. Jones is in a different place: he's a BLACK MAN in AMERICA, more specifically in Hicksville, USA where as I am sure he's seen in the news, tends to shoot black people first, and ask questions later. The ABQ PD is also one of the more corrupt police departments in the US.
Jon Jones vs police officer: a game where JJ has everything to lose while police have nothing to lose. Why play a game with those stakes (minus the fact that Jon Jones outside the Octagon has the decision making abilities of a 10 year old child)?
I'm sure the cop recognized him, and his lawyers say that in court that he was targeting Jones......but if Jones wasn't a famous person, he'd probably be tasered the fuck out of if he was just some random black dude.

FPS_Russia: Still bitter about that shellacking you took in the presidential thread, haha.
I won that hands down, it wasn't even close. Too bad we'll still most likely be stuck with Hillary regardless, haha.
***Breaking News***
After a ton of speculation of if it would happen ever especially since the hype for a fight against Rousey dampened with her asskicking by Holly Holm. Cyborg will be fighting on the UFC 198 card against Leslie Smith (who the fuck is she??) in Brazil. Some are speculation that UFC maybe considering adding a 145lb division but likely this is just an assumption on a few parts.
Breaking news?
Even the sportsbooks have had this up for days.
Aldo vs. Edgar booked for UFC 200 for interim featherweight title http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news...t-title-456716
Diaz vs McGreggor rematch also taking place at UFC 200. Official announcement came 30 min ago.
nate chilling at -125. waiting for delicious props to sink my jew fangs into.
Just booked my hotel room today. Diaz gonna rape Conor on the ground and I am gonna rape twinks' mouth in the stairwell of my hotel.
Dunno which I'm more excited for.
Dana White: Win, lose or draw, Conor McGregor will go back to 145 to defend his title after Diaz rematch
Diaz at +110 on Bovada (probably wont last long). And it has just been announced Sage Northcutt returns against Enrique Marin at UFC 200. OSA, make sure you bring enough lube.
Rooting for Edgar in that case so I can pound Edgar ML for when those two fight in MSG in the fall/winter of 2016.
Lol no he wont. He's not even facing Diaz at 155, its at 170 again. But god bless your heart for getting up there and saying that with a straight face, Dana. You're earning your billions.
Im showig -125 on Bovada as well.Quote:
Diaz at +110 on Bovada (probably wont last long).
Dana White, 03/2016: "After this fight, Conor will fight for the 145 title in his next fight"
Dana White, 08/2016: "For our November card, Conor will fight GSP at MSG!"
I hope Conor fights at 145 his next fight (so I can bet against him if its Edgar), but I agree sonatine: no chance in hell he does that, esp with his coach's aversion of him fighting at the weight.
Another nugget that's interesting: this is the first time in Conor's career he's opened up as a dog (the Aldo odds changed last minute due to all the money coming in).
guys, you can't be mad at Dana for giving Conor the fight he wants. I mean the guy is an independent contractor, he calls his own shots, he's not some silly employee who has to do what his bosses say...
I dont think anyone is mad at Dana. Im just pointing out how laughable it is that they are maintaining, even now, the ludicrous assertion that Conor can make 145 without an IV, ever again, without literally having a limb amputated.
yeah, i was more joking about how dana has been like "Conor's obsessed, we HAD to give him this fight at this weight again" as if they didn't have any part in making the fight. Same type of deal where he was blaming holly holm's manager for her taking a fight that they made for her.
