Ah I already edited fuck

Ah I already edited fuck

Not when I quoted it.

I clicked it thinking it's a video of him, scrolled down to the comments. Fucking shocking racism.

Fuck the human race.

Its wild how racism is so normalized in the mma community. It's not even casual racism anymore it's just blatant. Fighters making fun of kids getting bombed, supporting Hitler and saying slurs has made the culture surrounding it turn me off.
MMA has always had an incel culture surrounding it but it's gotten worse over the past couple years.

Prepare yourselves for the steep price hike on your paramount subscriptions.

 

[VAfan]

still don't know if this was a good deal for them or a desperation move.

Haha, not sure why I find this funny.

Dude never posts, and has been here nearly longer than me, has some crazy fire AV with Hulk? and tells everyone here it's gonna be a steep climb on price...

This is why I love the ol Sher Dog..

 

[Wreckless]

It'll be interesting to see how they structure and promote their cards now that all events are treated equally.

Another thing to consider. This is limited to the US. It's unclear how international viewers will be able to watch.

 

[rjmbrd]

Amazingly well done.

 

[Fergelmince]

Prepare yourselves for the steep price hike on your paramount subscriptions.

Prepare yourselves for a steep price hike on every streaming service in the next 3 years.

 

[Aurelian]

Prepare yourselves for a steep price hike on every streaming service in the next 3 years.

At least it won't happen immediately. They have to get people in the door first before they spike it up. We'll get a little while of cheap cards.

Hopefully this doesn't kill off our beloved pirate streams

Why stream if it’s on TV for “free”

Technically was here from the very beginning just didn't make an account for a few years. I generally like to just browse, thus the low post count , This place is a plethora of funny shit and has been for 20 years and the main reason i still come back. The sig is Chris Leben and Frankenstein, a fellow sherdogger made it years ago, he a real fucking G.

He's complaining because it'll focus on the fights instead of the manufactured bullshit outside of the ring. I doubt he's correct, but what a crazy thing to be upset about. The UFC really nailed the male drama queen demographic.

He has a point I never thought about

The best fights were build ups for "Drama"

Jones DC
Rampage Rashad
Connor Khabib
Sonnen Silva


were all "story" build ups for great PPVs
