FTESWL Season 2 Episode 42: Black White Dynamic In America Feat Walt

Walt spends sometime with Kosher to discuss the current race issues in America. He tells Kosher how basic the problem of racism is in America and how he feels the country is a boat that’s slowly sinking and if Donald Trump becomes president we might as well blow a hole at the bottom of the boat because he is a moron. Walt also talks about his take on why popular athletes like Richard Sherman or Cam Newton say and act the way they do.

Things got cut short due to technical difficulties and scheduling conflicts, but we covered a lot of ground. Check out his articles on the www.fteswl.com page.

Everyone in that division is past their prime :camby:
He beat who he beat and it was a good run. To say he doesn't deserve Jacare who's coming off a win over Vitor is laughable shyt
first of all my gripe if you bothered to read was your statement that he had an "all time great" run.For example did you see cody's last fight against that Asian? Apparently he knocked the dude out faster than the champ did but guess what nobody gives a fuk, you know why? Cuz cruz already did that, why should garbrant get extra points for flash KOing a dude that's already soft in the head now from previous KOs. Same with weid fraudulenting his reign feasting on sunked in castoffs Jones destroyed only older and slower with less power/explosion

And to your last point you don't make the fight because there are others in the division more deserving. The fuk is the point on putting weidman in the title picture again when he's only going to be on the sidelines for months on end whilst Romero and jacare who are ripe now turn 40 without ever getting a shot. Your rationale is:camby:

Miesha Tate made the Yahoo homepage

Former UFC champ Miesha Tate rescues injured 6-year-old on mountain hiking trail

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate is regarded as a kind and giving soul by her peers. Her latest act of kindness is a heartwarming one that finds her as a real-life hero to a 6-year-old girl and her parents during an incident near Mount Charleston in Las Vegas, NV.

Over the weekend, Tate was hiking at Mary Jane Falls, a hiking trail at Mount Charleston, when 6-year-old Kai broke her arm near the top of the mountain trail. Tate spotted Kai’s mother struggling to carry the little girl down the 2.6-mile trail and decided to help out.

“I saw her meekly built mother struggling to carry her daughter down the mountain so I offered to carry the little girl to the bottom,” Tate posted on her Facebook. “The mother asked her 6-year-old daughter ‘would you rather have me or her carry you down’ without hesitation (to my surprise) she quickly replied ‘I want HER to carry me.’”

Images posted by the parents of Kai show Tate carrying the injured girl down the mountain trail along with a message.

“To our rescue and assistance came the amazing @mieshatate the UFC fighter,” the father posted on Instagram. “She offered to help us carry her down the mountain. Such an amazing and humble person to have met. Our family cant thank you enough for all the help. You saved us easily hours of hiking and helped us get her to the hospital sooner. Thank you again.”

Tate and Kai successfully made it down the mountain and the little girl’s parents sought medical attention. Earlier today, Tate posted a thank-you video she received from Kai along with a message directed at anyone who takes issue with Tate and her athletic build.

“Tear jerker!” Tate’s post began. “Meet Kai the sweet little girl that kept me company down the mountain side, very upbeat despite her broken arm. And I just have to say this was one of the most rewarding days of my athletic career. And I also want to make a point that I have been told many times that I am ‘too buff’ or ‘manly’ that I should stop lifting weights, that it’s ‘gross’ and not attractive for a woman. I am so happy I never listened to the limitations others wanted to put on me and I hope that our youth knows that don’t have to conform. That strength and beauty come from within!”

I'm not even gonna address that first paragraph of babble.

If your reasoning is basically "I don't like Weidman and he's just gonna get injured!" So let's give title shots to these old fukks before they get too old. Then just come out and say the dumb shyt :heh:

you mean the example I used which underlines the bad habit ppl have of anointing the ordinary, extraordinary by poorly trying to re-enact greatness achieved? K

you know yoel Romero is on a 7 fight win streak and jacare is like 9-1 (in a debatable loss) in his last 10 right? or are you actually that dense

case can be made for Romero getting a shot. Jacare vs Weidman is fine

Bernie Profato, Executive Director of the Ohio Athletic Commission, explained to MMA Fighting on Tuesday the reasoning behind granting Brooks a license despite no fighting background, which rests on two separate grounds.

"CM Punk has a wrestling background similar to Brock Lesner being permitted to fight in the past," Profato said.

Wonderboy with some choice words for Woodley:

You're crazy. When you were, few months ago, preaching how you deserve the fight, give it to you, when you were ranked number four. And they still gave it to you. And now you're doing this to me? You're a hypocrite, man. That's just crazy talk. And it sounds like to me, you know, you're scared. You're scared to fight me. Let's do this, let's go. I don't know what else to say without throwing in a few cuss words."
