Maybe this is common knowledge, but why was Kimbo Slice released from the UFC after one loss to a decent fighter in Matt Mitrione?
He was a massive, massive draw and undoubtedly would have produced at least a couple more lucrative losses. As a matter of conservative financial decision making, it would seem that Dana and co would have kept him on for at least a couple more fights against low level contenders. In more cynical terms, I would have expected Dana to keep him around for years longer with tailor-made fights.
A few random thoughts:
1)They knew he was not healthy. In retrospect we know this too, dude died from heart attack at 40~. Maybe the UFC knew he was going to die?
2)It's about the way he fought, his fight against that other black guy was terrible, the one where they both put their hands on their knees and look tired in a gif. I forgot his name, sorry.
Well I'm sorry ok, excuse them for not living in a barren wasteland where everything is trying to kill you.
That meme about Australia being deadly might be true but they have nothing on Brazil, the Amazon is a terrible place, no big animals to hunt, every kind of weird disease, piranhas, fish that crawl up your dick. Both Les Stroud and Bear Grylls had to quit their Amazonian adventures. Bear Grylls couldn't build a shelter and then it started raining and he called for his crew. Les Stroud got diarrhea and some weird feet fungi and had to go back to the indian village.
The soil is also not proper for agriculture without modern techniques. Some fucktard teachers used to tell us that the Indians didn't need to evolve civilization because they already had everything they needed, food, clean water etc. Bullshit, they couldn't evolve because a tropical jungle is a terrible place to start, good luck clearing a jungle with stone tools.
Another random thought but back in the day some Brazilians got angry when people said monkeys lived in the streets of Rio but nowadays with the environmental movement that would be a compliment. Imagine if we still had that kind of pristine nature inside a city with millions of people.
Africa, around the Congo, is worse though.
So correct me if I am wrong: disliking a black woman = she looks like a man is the new racist dog whistle since they get banned calling them monkeys?
What is this referring to?
It's interesting how much of our adaptations are cultural rather than biological, and how those things interact. For example, we're great long-distance runners but we don't have a good way to biologically store water which would make that skill irrelevant--and would have prevented us from developing it--except that we culturally evolved ways to transport and/or locate water. Or look at how we deal with milk (most societies developed ways to process it to be edible for adults before genetic variations that allow for that were selected for).
I always found that interesting, how we can outrun many faster animals in the long run. But we doesn't include me.
