Brazilian fighters are getting wrecked left and right, Seleçao is about to get destroyed in the Copa America, the government is corrupt, and the Olympics are about to be a catastrophe on a global scale

I'm just acknowledging my mom's side of the family from now on

Awkward times at Team Alpha Male. Will they fight each other to fight Cruz? ...and if Cruz beats Faber, are they willing to fight Faber?

The way Garbrandt was closing in was brilliant. Almedia was stuck. Should have grappled or went in for a TD

Yeah, a group of over 100 independent doctors and researchers said that the Olympics should either be moved or postponed due to the potential spread of the disease. Obviously there's too much money at stake to move the Games at this point, so government run agencies are trying to downplay the risk. But pretty much every independent researcher with no horse in the race is saying it's unethical and dangerous to keep the Olympics going as planned. This whole situation seems like Jaws when they wanted to close the beach, and the mayor was like "Naw we can't do that, it's too much money on the line :whoa:"


Here's a brief and descriptive explanation of the potential issues with keeping the Olympics in Rio.

Good win for CG....I still feel like he's too wild...he's heavy-handed and fast...but the punches seem too wide, to me. This'll put him in the top 10...he said after tha fight he wants to fight in Cleveland @ufc203....and they're already pushing for him vs. caraway....everything about that is excellent. That's why I hated this match up to a degree...1 prospect would lose and possibly get ruined...I hope they don't put Almeida in tough in his next fight...let him get someone outside the top 15 that possesses some of the same style/qualities as CG so Thomas can work on what he did wrong...I got a feeling they're either gonna give him a killer or they're gonna have him and Aljo fight in a "sh!t or get off the pot" match :francis: .


The co-main went like I thought....one guy was just too big...could eat shots and fire back...barao did well in the 1st b/c he was moving....but whether it was fatigue or just not sticking to the gameplan...he got stationary and Barao can't do his old stuff in this new division. If Barao can't embrace his limitations in this division, he's just a gatekeeper.
