and i dont think the gladiator is any worse than that like, liquid metal dude they have punching my tv screen

the football music
is classier than the metal but i don’t really like either one. I don’t mean to poo-poo both choices without offering a solution but… that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
maybe if they played a few tony bennet tunes or something

Definitely.
I think that even if he delivers here, there will still be a lot of questions about him. Prater is solid, but he’s undersized and may not present the right test for Silva.

honestly
i’d be fine with this call so long as it’s the start of a trend, and fighters like belfort are just as closely scrutinized. i guess only time will tell if this is an aberration or something more.
SquishingMachine, now at HeadKickLegend.com
well, i dont know
i mean, there are definitely shots behind the ear, which rogan himself has, in the past, suggested could be construed as “back of the head.”

I'm going to have to do some research on "back of the head" definitions
Because those are pretty for what Big john defines them, but I can’t remember the actual wording.

I think "back of the head" definitely needs some clearer definition
but Rogan himself has suggested “back of the head” could be defined by the arch of a pair of headphones. The shots landed past that imaginary line. It’s bullshit for Rogan to forget himself in the heat of the moment, turn his back on a standard he himself has promoted, and give the referee such a hard time.

i dont even think they were on the ground long enough to determine whether or not he was stalling. they’ve let much more subdued top-control persist for much longer.

they both deserve it.
it’s hard to tell in the long run, though. barboza used an unprecedented technique, but aldo’s came in a much more relevant context.
