I spoke about this years back about how the UFC benefited from other promotions grooming their talent. And since its grown big and swallowed up many smaller promotions, its putting on b league events and grooming in house talent.

I read a news article which made it seem like Ann Maria tried to instill a hyper competitive mindset and environment that Ronda was raised in. Maybe it was necessary to compete and medal at the olympics but it also probably burnt her out in judo. I didn't know about her throwing fits but she was...

I got mixed up. You're right that Azerbaijan was getting warmer with the west and selling them oil.

I thought that Israel would be wary about selling weapons to Azerbaijan in the first place. But Israel rejected US's request not to sell arms to Azerbaijan. This begs the question whether Israel is a useful US ally/proxy if it blatantly undermines US positions.

The last round of big fighting was in 2023. Azerbaijan blocked off the only road connecting Armenia to the Nagorno Karabakh region by using pretend 'activists' and 'students' protesting mining activites and pollution. Russian peacekeeping forces allowed Azerbaijan to maintain the stranglehold on...

AI control drone jets can be smaller/lethal because now they don't have to worry about keeping a human alive and fresh, no need for life support, additional armor plating and whatever else and can change directions faster than what might cause brain injury to a human pilot. Wonder if the new AI...

I saw Coleman working in a SlapFight event where Tim Sylvia KOd his opponent. Wonder if he also works at Dana Whites Power Slap.

Wonder how Sapp ever managed to beat Hoost twice. Was Hoost injured or did Sapp get lucky, just weird seeing Sapp unload on Hoost.

IMO she did at least to a degree. The UFC paved the way for her by paying spots for her in big magazines/shows/media, she had to show up and play her superhero role. She didn't look that good on TUF but that could also be partly due to editing to make the episodes more dramatic.

Might attempt 230kg at the olympics

I've heard goggles The UFC wanted to buy Trevor Whitman's ONX glove patent instead of just licensing it. Trevor wants a quality company like Nike to use his design instead of selling to Dyaco or something. I thought the UFC would've used Pride's gloves after buying the company but continues to...

Maybe the new Mariko is more historically accurate. As a noblewoman in that era she was well educated and could run administrative matters, balance the books, hire and fire etc. And her personal property was sort of separate from her husband's giving her more independence as well. The old...

Crap, didn't know dogs are like horses running back into burning barns because its ingrained into them that the barn or under the bed is their safe space.

Which is worrying when nuclear power corps doing the same thing, covering up internal mess ups, paying lobbyists for favorable regulations, paying consulting firms to shift public perception that nuclear power is clean and safe.

His death came at the time when he was in the middle of giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit.

Yes he was street racing like playing a 'cat and mouse game' according to witnesses so even if he was sober, he was doing something dangerous and illegal.

He's one of the wealthy elite who was also involved in Aristide's 1st coup in the 90s.

Haiti got screwed for a long time by western countries like US, France. Had to pay reparations to France for their independence, took out high interest loan from US to pay France. The US supported dictators the Duvaliers with their Tonton Macoute voodoo gang. Haiti's rice tariff was removed to...

I think he borrowed money for his training camp, not for expensive trinkets.
