  1. The only person I would think isn't making the phone call to Dana and company is Ankalaev, who probably still thinks he's next in line despite 0 people talking about him after Pereira's last win.
  2. We gotta get more Lerone Murphy fights. He beat the brakes off of Barboza.
  3. One would think lots of folks wouldn't mind going short notice for a Connor card, against a top guy in the division who just got knocked out. Anthony Smith - this is your chance.
  4. I want to believe in Themba Gorimbo. Heartbreaking post fight speech, about robbing his wrestling coach of his last moments with his mother. She passed away from cancer I believe yesterday or the day before.
  5. Suprises continue. Angela Hill enters the Top 10 via the first submission victory of her career. I don't think she's ever been Top 10. Congrats to Overkill.
  6. The best was she did it once, and as soon as the ref warned her she was like "I got a better one in me."
  7. Woah. TKO by bewb punch. Well the woman's fights have been full of surprises and Angela Hill hasn't stepped in yet.
  8. Been a while since I've seen a fighter get DQ'd off of headbutts.
  9. Just saw they're playing Take Aim At The Police Van tonight by one of my favorite directors Seijun Suzuki. I think it's only available in the Criterion's Nakkatsu Noir Eclipse set right now.
  10. I watched a movie tonight so I missed most of the basketball. Tuned in to see Denver down by 27 shooting 33%. Congrats to Minny on responding. That's why the games are played. Not sure what to think about Game 7.
  11. CHICAGO INVADES THE UK!!! LET'S GOOOOOO That's a fun card. Should probably make that heavyweight title the real one tho.
  12. When Kyrie Irving gets 12 points and 4 assists and you still lose to the Mavs there's a problem.
  13. I mean it certainly seemed to be the case when they were down by 40 in the game before. But to your point they looked fresher and and more in control. As much as people, like myself, talk about Thibs Minutes, folks should also remember he's been building a team for this. He's assembled a group of grinders who are willing to play these minutes and not complain. I actually love Thibs as a coach, but I also recognize his approach isn't for every player and it can bite him in the ass. I think Stan Van Gundy, who alternated between obnoxious and wise last night, made some great points about the team make up and how special they are. It's very much like that Jimmy Buttler Heat team that went to the finals. They've got that kind of endurance to weather storms and will their way into games. Which I'm sure, as a Boston fan, you're very excited to hear. Meanwhile... Minny lost game 3, and it was like "okay, they expected this to be tough." They lost game 4 and it was like "okay that sucks but we're playing the champs." After Game 5 I don't know if they know what the fuck to do now. They just look incapable of stopping this train, and I don't see an adjustment they can make other than, "make more tough shots." And my god some of those shots that Jokic put up over KAT and Gobert. The refs didn't make that ball go in. That was fucking wizardry.
  14. From what I understand Chuck has a poison pill or something and can become a free agent as soon as this season is over. So he's gonna get paid. Ernie is a lifer at Turner and will do general sports stuff and the NCAA. Shaq is supposedly not interested in pursuing another TV deal elsewhere. Comically none of the outlets reporting this even mentioned Kenny's contract.
  15. I don't think AEW has gotten me to cheer for anything like I did when Charles Barkley beat Kenny to the board a couple weeks ago.
  16. Wouldn't that be dating apps like Farmers Only and Tall Friends? Is there a Miss Cleo equivalent today?
  17. No Donovan Mitchell and Cleveland is giving it everything they have to make this a game.
  18. They were #1 in 2021. So in four years they will have picked 1, 5, 5, 5. And a 7 before that. If you're picking that high over 5 years, and are still bad, getting another #1 ain't gonna save you.
  19. Just sped through the show to see what I missed. Chase Hooper absolutely dominated his fight, and I actually think him vs. Paddy would be a really fun matchup. I feel like it won't be on the horizon any time soon, as Paddy is probably looking exclusively at Top 15 guys now until someone shuts him down. Regardless Hooper has leveled up his game, and is still only 24 and could get much better. Joaquin Buckley had a fun night at the office in front of his home town. Good for him. I actually love the crowd deflating when he said Connor's name. It's so hard to even get Connor to the cage, you might as well call out Richard Nixon or the Dalai Lama. Derrick Lewis did Derrick Lewis things. National treasure.
  20. I didn't think he that bad. I mean PJ Washington scored 29 too. Doncic was much better about finding the open man when he was getting doubled, and getting it out. His worst possessions were the ones that last a couple of seconds and consisted of "dance dance step back 3". When it goes in, he's a legend, when it bricks, it's just the worst. Like why settle for that? The real mystery is the unnamed Mav who played this prank during the presser. NSFW It's the playoffs indeed.
  21. I'd say the toughest part about watching the playoffs this year is just seeing the wear and tear on the players. Luka Doncic is a fucking zombie right now. And I can''t believe Thibs is still running his players into the ground like he did in Chicago. It's like he builds his teams around players who don't want to leave the game, even if it's for their own good. What Jalen Brunson is doing for that team is legendary shit tho.
  22. Well as far as 2nd round series go, Knicks/Pacers is the goods. The 90s are alive.
  23. A real bummer for Martinez, who I hoped would be able to rise to the occasion. He was going with his leg kicks in the first, Aldo checked one and Martinez didn't go back to it again until sometime in the 3rd. I don't think that's necessarily because of the check, but because it became apparent that Aldo was too fast and had figured out his timing. I knew it was going to be a tough night because I don't think Aldo has looked bad in any of his fights at this weight. He lost steam against Merab and people thought that was age, but now we know everyone loses steam against Merab because he is fucking inhuman. I think Aldo fights at least once more. They were trying to get Cruz and I think that fight still makes sense for a big show later this year. How about UNDEFEATED ANTHONY SMITH?! That shit killed me.
  24. Public Service Announcement. Put Mauricio Ruffy on your "To Watch" list. My goodness.
  25. Big night for Jonathan Martinez, who has the potential to really break out this year. I don't want to root against Aldo, but Martinez could be a fun match up for anyone in the Top 7 after tonight.
