70's, 80's, 90's NBA Draft : CHAT

[TJL]

I'm gonna pass on the UFC fights this week, Bar None fighting live trumps them every time

I never fought, but I've trained BJJ and boxed for a bit.

Are you next going to tell me about your 1-0 record on Sherdog? lol

 

[TJL]

Yeah I'm really interested in Jones/DC, mostly because we don't know what Jones we're gonna see. Dude is a beast though.

Obviously the last two Woodley fights with Thompson were underwhelming but you think he'll be able to avoid going to the ground with Maia? Maia has been on a tear lately. Woodley has the speed and power though.

What about the Manuwa v. Oezdemir? That fight looks like a toss up too.

Manuwa

I don't see how Maia gets Woodley to the ground but if he does he's going to finish it and I hope that's what he does.

I really want Maia to win that fight really badly lol

This is how I feel after watching UFC fights:

 

[TJL]

I usually watch them by myself or with a few choice friends.

If I'm drinking and watching fights and people are saying really stupid shit and don't know what they're talking about it really annoys me.

Kind of like when people ask me who I think would win out of Mayweather/McGregor and then try to tell me McGregor is going to KO him in round 1 because they saw him fight once.

If the hoop was a money maker why did Hammer sell it? CBS shut down its message boards and they were doing pretty good...

Hammer got millions and he had a younger chick he was banging.....

Exactly lol, but 1-0 beats 0-1. Jared is 1-0 as a pro as well, but he just turned 22, whereas I was 36 when I fought 12 years ago. I'm thinking his future is brighter lol

This is how I feel when I watch basketball with other people. It annoys the shit out of me in person.

That's awesome, I wish I would have fought once just to say I did it.

Is he in a good camp? I know a few local circuit guys, and from what I understand it's really hard to break into even if you're good unless you have a lot of connections.

I am often the person who purposely says the most annoying things... Its fun watching some people blow up...

I have one buddy who's a big time casual, but he talks on sports radio and 99% of his listeners no nothing about mma so even with his minimal knowledge they think he knows a lot.

I hate talking mma with him because he literally knows about .5% of what I do, and he asks why his dumb questions bother me so much and I say because you trying to sit here and talk/argue with me about MMA, is equivalent to Me/you explaining or having dialogue about football with a chick who's never watched it.

Sounds about right. I could see you doing this, then following up by trying to organize a mock draft of the types of canned soups.

I do like my canned soups.. Andy Warhol is my favorite artist too...

Yeah sounds familiar. I had a friend who for the longest time would argue about how Klay Thompson was garbage and that he would take Danny Green over him any day. His hot takes have receded the last year or so.

I have quite a few friends that know more about football than me, and I usually just plead the fifth, I know when I sound like an idiot and need to shut up or I don't know when I'm talking about.

Nice. I trained in Karate for about 4 lessons. When I figured that most of it was mainly cardio and I didn't get to kick anyone yet, I quit. Because YOLO.

 

[TJL]

What I hate about a lot of martial arts is that they've gone from teaching you how to defend yourself to straight up sport.

There's a lot of shit you do in Jiu Jitsu that you could never translate into an actual fight if you were to be in one.

We have a good team. His other trainer is hid Godfather, as well as my best friend. We've had some guy fight Bellator, but I think Jared will be our first UFC guy. Counting his last two Ammy fights, he's won 3 straight with Legacy/LFA, and their last two middleweight champs just went to the UFC. He's Co main event for a different organization this week, and if he wins, the LFA folks said they'd put him on their televised card in either September or December. Fingers crossed

unfortunately, I don't... not because I know a lot about football, but I am a hopeless loser who spends too much time on the hoop...

This is so true. When we were kids, Anthony and I would travel everywhere to study different styles, and ended up teaching street defense, which was our own combination of arts and weapons that we felt sere practical. Then when we were 35, we went to a local MMA show, and I felt like I could have beaten anyone on the card. I decided to give it a shot and signed an amateur fight, but was offered a pro fight in Dallas and thought, at my age, might as well get paid lol. I tapped my guy out in round one, but tore my quad, so that was that. Been teaching MMA since, got a great group of guys

Jesus, you must be proud as hell.

Legacy is no joke, I watched Johnny Bedford's fight on there not long ago. Now I see what you meant about not watching Saturday and watching live fights, I honestly thought you were being facetious or something when you first said it lol didn't know your son fought or that you were still training.

I'd also much rather be at a live local show where someone I knew was fighting rather than watch a UFC card around a bunch of Tapout T-Shirt wearing drunks.

How's the guy look that he's facing this week?
