Check out my new piece on Steve Erceg's defensive flaws and the increasing likelihood that, far from improving, he may actually be getting worse thanks to the UFC's careless, shortsighted matchmaking. Link below

Dana pretending he knows who Farid Basharat is

😲👀Dana White suggests there's more to the story behind the UFC not re-signing undefeated Farid Basharat. “If you're 16-0 with seven wins in the UFC and don't get re-signed, there's definitely a reason.” via @ufc

Wellmaker got a late start in mma and coasted on athleticism all the way to the UFC. Too late to learn how to fight now. I don't say this spitefully; I feel for the guy

He went blow-for-blow with Ethan Ewing (who is VERY good), but that loss only taught him how much he didn't know. Tried to overhaul his whole style after that and broke his own game

This lady came flying directly at my chest. I thought an angel of death coming for my ass. Fortunately she tanked my instinctive slap and seems to be doing just fine. We moved her to the zinnias to enjoy a couple moths on the house

The footwork here is also very nice. Talbott knows how to position himself behind his jab. Figgy doesn't clock the angle change that lines up the right because he's occupied with the left hand It's all about tempo and initiative. No jab = no time to make more decisive moves

Fig lets Talbott's jab fall just short and spins him around with a kick A moment later, Talbott steps in with a jab and pauses for a beat, drawing out the kick, before slamming his right hand into Fig's jaw as he's on one leg

Dana White: "Literally, all the guys that cover our sport I block them out of my feed...They're all wrong and everything they say is wrong. It's a waste of my time to even listen to anything they say."

One advantage this Luis Hernandez guy has over Sedriques Dumas (other than fighting ability) is that the UFC will never have to worry about him being arrested for his crimes

Would dearly like to see a pivot accompanying that lay back he does against the cross. He could have been punishing Pantoja's right hands from a deep angle and taken himself off-line for Pantoja's takedowns at the same time

People really underestimate how effectively a front-foot pivot defeats a straight right hand. And if you get behind your shoulder you're pretty safe from wider punches too. In my mind it's the single best way to defend a cross

Most fighters are ass at fighting also
Jed Meshew II@JedKMeshewSep 23
As I've said for years, athleticism is a cheat code in MMA. Most fighters would be ass at basically any other sport.

4chan is the internet's collective shadow. Only by acknowledging and accepting the 4chan inside you will you achieve spiritual equilibrium
Lilac@LilacNRosesSep 22
I think a lot of you have absolutely zero idea how pervasive slang and language originating on 4chan actually is. The 2nd poster in this image has the name "cognitohazardous". The term Cognitohazard originates from the SCP fandom, which was founded on 4chan.

Female fantasy authors: what if we could read Hansel & Gretel from the *witch's* perspective? Male fantasy authors: what if lord of the rings wasn't so gay

I recently read Ursula K Le Guin's essay "From Elfland to Poughkeepsie," which not only brilliantly crystallized so many of own issues with the heinous tone and lack of style in so much modern SF, but also introduced me to a ton of fantasy pioneers I had never heard of

I'm almost done with James Branch Cabell's Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice, which is about a medieval pawnbroker having a mid-life crisis and whoring around His name was completely unknown to me, but back in the 20s he was one of the biggest writers in the US. A fantasy novelist!
