Yeah when I was little the Gracias were my favorite, Royce used to choke everyone out with his ghee.

I need to go re-watch those as an adult cuz I only remember them through kids eyes. But again that is why I was excited when Henderson figured it out...It's not that exciting to watch though cuz the wrestlers look like they are just laying on them.

2018-04-03 16:53:17 UTC  

And how come Damion Maia never got a Title shot? He destroyed Gunner Nelson which is a pretty big deal I thought

The UFC discriminates against grapplers because you get more PPV sales when strikers fight. Exceptions are there, but all the young fighters they promote and give big fights to are primarily strikers who work on take down defense and 'anti-bjj'.

2018-04-03 17:58:13 UTC  

Takedown defense is probably the best defense against BJJ.

2018-04-03 18:55:32 UTC  

That is true cuz casual viewers don't know what's happening when you grapple. That's why it was good that Joe Rogan comentated back in the mid 2000s because he would explain it. That's how I learned what I was watching.

2018-04-03 18:57:15 UTC  

I'm pumped that my cousins agreed to watch the fights with me this Saturday...they used to be all ...muh it's to violent, they will be hooked soon enough

2018-04-03 19:51:42 UTC  

whether its more effective or not, I'd like to learn real wrestling techniques for the sake of heritage, or have my children learn it.

2018-04-03 19:52:50 UTC  

but I do think it is effective...the man who invented Krav Maga (Israeli self defense) based most of it on European-style wrestling and boxing

2018-04-03 19:54:31 UTC  

My martial arts class focuses almost entirely on striking with a few throws and no grappling

2018-04-03 19:54:53 UTC  

I'm planning on enrolling in a BJJ class in the fall to augment my arsenal

2018-04-03 20:13:03 UTC  

@Aleis⊕ccidentalis you can't go wrong training in wrestling. It is very effective.

2018-04-03 20:56:13 UTC  

Let us not forget, the deadliest of techniques........ 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU8DDJRwjkI

What do you guys think of LA fitness? I know of lots of gyms that that are known for ripping people off, but it seems like a pretty good place

2018-04-03 21:33:06 UTC  

Pretty generic

2018-04-03 21:33:11 UTC  

Relatively fair prices

2018-04-03 21:33:40 UTC  

Good things like saunas and all the weights you would need

2018-04-03 21:33:54 UTC  

Nothing special but if it's close and accessible do it

2018-04-05 13:44:21 UTC  

How much do you guys on a cut tend to fluctuate in weight? I tend to go from 168-173 depending on the day.

2018-04-05 14:10:28 UTC  

3 pounds

2018-04-05 14:10:40 UTC  

Up and down. Stuck at 167

2018-04-05 14:11:10 UTC  

Average 7k calorie deficit each week.

2018-04-05 17:09:55 UTC  

+-5lbs

2018-04-05 17:10:30 UTC  

If water consumption is a constant and I am good about my eating times then it's less, maybe 3 lbs

2018-04-05 21:49:12 UTC  

Anybody see that drama with Conor and khabib

2018-04-05 21:49:42 UTC  

Conor keeps it real AF

2018-04-05 22:09:30 UTC  

You know that breaks Dana's heart, Conor was his cash cow

2018-04-05 22:10:02 UTC  

Now he has to fire him

2018-04-05 22:10:28 UTC  

Maybe

2018-04-05 22:10:33 UTC  

My guess is suspension

2018-04-05 22:12:22 UTC  

Throwing monsters is one thing but a hand truck through a bus window? Dana is all about $$$ but it's going to be hard to come up with a reason not to fire him

2018-04-05 22:12:38 UTC  

Conor is worth too much

2018-04-05 22:12:44 UTC  

People love him

2018-04-05 22:13:58 UTC  

True, plus they don't really have any more Mega stars. When they had Ronda and Connor they were $$$$$

2018-04-05 22:15:55 UTC  

Waiting for the mug shot

2018-04-06 12:04:44 UTC  

Artem deserved to be smacked

2018-04-06 12:05:27 UTC  

The bus did nothing

2018-04-06 12:35:21 UTC  

I think it was a work gone overboard.

2018-04-06 12:36:08 UTC  

Or he was high on cocaine and raging..lol
