  1. Not a fan of the damage criteria, could potentially set the sport back if the rules are successful and eventually adopted. It's hard enough getting it sanctioned as it is. Even worse it would just feed the "look at his face after the fight, he totally lost" trolls that wouldn't understand the concept.
  2. Happy Thanksgiving EWB. Let's all go gain ten pounds.

      The currency rather than the weight hopefully.

  3. Happy Thanksgiving from this side of the world.

  4. Hopefully your thread actually sees the light of day. Fan.Fucking.Tastic. show. It's a shame that the season finale is next week and they haven't been renewed yet. Since spoilers are out, I'm not tagging, but I saw Jason getting killed coming for some time. I just couldn't figured out how it was going to end up going down. Of course, with Hank being Hank he had to be involved in it when he was just trying to help him out. Can't wait for next week.
  5. Screw this game. Got my serial, put in hours of game time while being down sick, saved regularly and when I went to load it up just now - nothing. None of my saved data was there.
  6. I tried starting a thread for Terriers awhile back, but nothing seemed to come of it so I'll post here about it: I'm still thinking this show is amazing. A slow episode here or there but last week was really good. Completely solid episode that has me legit pumped for tonights show. It's such a shame that it's sitting on the edge of renewal due to ratings. It's a great show that could benefit from even 1/3 of the marketing that Sons' is getting.
  7. Wahlberg is an interesting choice, but I like it. He's been great in pretty much everything he's done so I can only wait and see how this will turn out. Especially if DeNiro and Pesci end up cast alongside him.
  8. The time issue may have cost Harris his job. Had he lost in the first round he probably would have been given another prelim or UFN chance and worked his way up, but instead he put up three full rounds of nothing which soured him overall. Getting finished in the first might have faired better for him in the long run rather than taking up time and doing nothing, especially during that last round. Dana has openly said it's about the exciting fighters, not the ones that just stand there.
  9. From the outside looking in it seems like Sotiropoulos is facing the marketing issue. Casual fans started getting behind Siver after they saw his nasty spinning back kick finish. For some reason Sotiropoulos just isn't catching on like a fighter with is record should be. He can finish opponents but is missing some key element in exposure. My own thinking here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Siver/Sotiropoulos fight was to give the casual fans a chance to see Sotiropoulos possibly pick up a victory over an opponent with 'devastating striking' as they refer to his signature kick as. Strikers push the sport on the casual fan and I could see this being the fight to elevate him from mid tier to upper echelon with a victory. That's how I am personally viewing the fight from a business standpoint. Outside of the marketing needed to build him up, I am 100% behind the idea that someone on a 7-0 streak deserves a title shot. Sadly he's racked up his wins seemingly under the radar and while he deserves a chance it would leave most non-hardcore viewers asking "who is this guy?".
  10. I have to use a wire adapter for one of my wireless 360 controllers because I got frustrated with lagswitchers on Halo and slammed the back of it against my fist, but that's the furthest it's ever gone. I've yelled some morons over live before as well, but I'm not going to start breaking stuff over a game. I will get very annoyed and curse, but I keep it there.
  11. Had extra points on my account so I picked it up and now it's asking for my serial number, but I didn't get any information when I got it. What'd I miss?
  12. Everyone keeps saying this for some reason, but this fight is in title contention so the comments make no sense. White said directly after Siver's UFC 122 victory that his win put him into title contention.
  13. I am trying to find the picture now, but someone used to have an avatar (I believe) with a shirt that said "You Will Hate Me". If I can find it would you be willing to trying recreating it?
  14. You know where the road to the Super Bowl doesn't run through? Dallas. Maxx, lemme get a hug I'm really hesitant to think that Jason Garrett is going to be the coach to turn us around.
  15. I wasn't much of a fan of Nicki until hearing Monster for the first time a few weeks back. My opinion on her was always "Lil' Kim did Lil' Kim better" but Monster really showed a solid side of her.
  16. I'd like to see Jake Rosholt with a decent camp behind him instead of his brother and a couple of buddies.
  17. I thought you had a direct line to Mr. MMA, the King of opinions and the High Deacon of saved MMA souls anyway? A direct line to Biggz? OMG~!!lol topix relevance ftw so funny jokez haha grow up. Roy Nelson is apparently done with the UFC following a contract issue with Roy Jones Jr. from the hybid MMA/boxing event he participated in some time ago. Apparently, according to White, is that Jone Jr. basically owns Nelson and it's just coming to light.
  18. UFC is doing it to us again: it's looking like Tito Ortiz vs. Lil' Nog next Spring.
  19. That's awesome. I'm picturing this guy to be a big breakout prospect in the next year. Majority of this guys he's blown threw recently have had solid winning records or been untouched until they met him.
  20. Surely it's not this guy, is it: http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jesse-Juarez-22291 ? If so then he's fighting for the MFC (Maximum Fighting Championship) 170lb title and is on quite a tear. I was reading up on him recently after coming across him while looking up some information on Mandingo whom he trains under.
  21. I thought so at first to, but unless I misheard upon rewinding he asked to take a vote and everyone walked out.
  22. I'm curious to see who the new President is going to be for the Belfast chapter, hopefully they at least touch upon it. I also hope Gemma puts one in the Father for Jackson. Edit: Yes, Trinity is fine.
  23. Shonie Carter just officially announced his retirement following his Isreal FC fight.
  24. I just finished watching this and absolutely loved it. Having not read the novels I was a little "WTF" at first, but I enjoy different things like that. Absolutely brilliant all the way through. I will now force my 'too good for different'-esque friends to sit through this.
