Not surprising but Brazil hates Mcgregor. Pretty funny Q and A's going on

I'm watching it right now and the comments are filled with disgusting racist cacs. Connor is coming across like a complete idiot.

Edit: And he immediately runs. What a p*ssy.

I'm almost glad I don't speak Portuguese because I'm sure I wouldn't wanna know half of what was being said. That was wild

Excited for bellator tonight. I'm rooting for Newton since he's not supposed even be on this run.

Interesting piece on MMA & injuries by Joe Lauzon. This is for the people who constantly question the legitimacy of injuries in MMA.

http://www.joelauzon.com/2014/10/24/injuries-suck/

I have been training for close to 15 years… and I have dealt with a LOT of injuries.

Its important to understand the difference between being injured and being hurt. Every fighter on the UFC roster, is constantly HURT. Hurt is what we call those nagging injuries that just never seem to heal and constantly flare up and inevitably get worse as soon as camp starts. Sore knees, ankles, hands, neck, back, etc. What would stop most people in their tracks, we push through because we always have fights coming up to get ready for.

This is a REAL contact sport… and injuries happen. We can try to lessen them… but they will never go away.

Kenny Florian recently tweeted and said it best, “As bummed as you & I are, the fighters who have been injured this year feel way, way worse.”

People love to complain that this is the fighters taking advantage of the UFC’s medical insurance, but that is crazy talk. It’s not that we are THRILLED to be hurt and off a card. We ultimately miss out on 1/2 to 1/3 of our yearly income… and in some cases, LOSE money by the time we pay coaches, buy fights etc

Let me set the stage for you from my perspective….

I am coming off a win over Mike Chiesa.
I am “healthy”.
I have 5 weeks to prepare for the fight.
We take the fight.
Two weeks in, I badly injure my ribs in sparring.
Had safe training partners.
Had lots of protective gear.
Was not overtraining.
Was being very smart about what we did.
Still got hurt.
Injuries happen.
I can’t train at all for 2+ weeks.
Fight is in 3 weeks.
Not possible to prepare.
Pull out of fight.
Internet ERUPTS with disappointment.

Next time you are really looking forward to a fight… like I hope most of you were looking forward to Diego and I… and something happens… it’s okay to be disappointed a little bit… but realize what’s going on and stay positive that the fighter’s pulling out is not some master plan to dupe you… but its about the fighter’s honestly not being able to perform. Sometimes its a long time until they can fight again… sometimes its just a minor set back… but I assure you, they are thinking about nothing but getting back in there.

Can't wait to see Joe healthy and back in the octagon.

Yea Bellator should be good tonight. Newton is always hilarious in the way he wins. I honestly think Lashley will lose to this Karl Ettirinton guy. Hes not 9-0 for a reason. And Lashley looked pretty bad against that fat can.

Fun fact: Thiago, Vera, Jardine, and Vera turned Silva down. As a result, James Irvin fought Anderson (since he was the only one who accepted).

And Rashad.

AND Anderson took that fight on short notice going up in weight as a favor to the UFC to counter program Affliction. Plus Anderson offered to fight on short notice at LHW to save UFC 151, and he took the fight vs. Bonnar on short notice at LHW to save the Brazil card.

:dead: That's what I love about Bellator, it's not perfect, it's not pretty and a lot of fukkery.
