An Ode to a Grape : (original text from @Gluteus Swag in 2018) :

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
 
I wish they would chill the f out on the "superfights" and interim title fights just to fill the top of a card.

Adesanya vs Jan was super unnecessary, and they've done a few of those fights lately. It hurt both their images imo and decreased their stock. Nothing major, im sure, but none the less.

My biggest grape of all though is that they insist on having main events as title fights no matter what. Even if it means stripping rightful champions like Ngannou so we can see Lewis vs Gane for the belt. Is that really increasing their number on PPV? We couldn't have just had Gane vs Lewis for #1 contender? Really?

I think beating Izzy helped Jan's reputation quite a bit. He had (and has, after his last fight) a rep of being a journeyman who grinded his way to the top. But Izzy is an elite win, even with the weight difference.

As far as that fight being unnecessary, I think Adesanya needed to find out if his striking and TDD would transfer to LHW. They didn't, but he wasn't embarrassed imo.
 
TS for some reason loves making these intentional spelling mistakes and getting people to think he's an idiot

Funny.

No, damn hilarious!
 
How in the fuck didn't beating Izzy make Jan's stock go down?

It sent it to a new level where he's was -335 against a guy ranked higher than him for 95% of both their careers.

Badly worded on my part. What I meant to say was it diminishes a champions stock no matter the result. Losing to a weight class below would have looked bad on Jan and the whole LHW division. Adesanaya losing was the best outcome because UFC can say hes a MW and the result is expected but Adesanya had an aura and a undefeated record. Now thats gone. Now that Jan lost to Glover it dimishes Adesanyas stock a little bit more as well, but not much I admit. Its a classic short term gain instead of long term success. Both champions took a hit during or shortly after theu fought.
 
The UFC needs to put on fewer more stacked cards. In the golden years of MMA there was only about one per month. Everyone would be so excited. Fewer stacked cards is the way to go unless you’re a greedy fuck who wants to water down the sport with 4 cards a month.
 

Holy Ship!

Now Dat's a Grape!

Gawd I miss when Grapes was around.

HNIC was one of the few pieces of culture Canada had to itself, but they called him a racist and now it's an ad for Chinese phones, that nobody wants to watch.

I used to turn into HNIC to watch the mid-game show, regardless if I was watching hockey. Now I refuse to keep it on my TV.

Francis wasn’t stripped…..but I don’t like interim belts either ….. I just treat them as a number one contender belt ….. I certainly don’t count interim champs as champs …… Rena Bararo being the exception
