    Rumored Bokator is not muaythai's father

    You're not wrong but even if it's a side track somebody might find it interesting. It adds to the contextual history of the region you're talking about. Even a namedrop could lead someone into a rabbit hole to indulge their own curiosity.

    Díaz jr vs Rakhimov & Teixeira vs Castaño Feb.13th DAZN

    Is DAZN actually making a profit on their service, or are they relying on fundraising because they're a "tech company" and there's suckers throwing money around?

    Rumored Bokator is not muaythai's father

    Thai as a people and culture were never the dominant force in SEA. It was Austronesian people in the coastlines and islands, and Chinese influence in the border regions to the north. For example: Central and Southern Vietnam was the Kingdom of Champa. The Cham were and are an Austronesian...

    Sergey Kovalev busted for illegally streaming DAZN event

    Only 2,500 tuned in. And that was at its peak. Most of them were probably from Russia and CIS too. DAZN didn't really lose anything at all. I doubt a single person would have paid for that shit. Was the picture quality even good, or was it shaky and grainy like most IG stories? If DAZN comes...

    Is the IBO belt slowly becoming another “major” belt?

    Besides the IBO, all of them are corrupt in different ways. IBF and WBO don't do drug testing, but aside from that are pretty steady. The WBO has created a "Global" belt but it seems to be regional tier, completely pointless. WBA and WBC do drug testing supposedly, but the way they run their...

    Media Khamzat Chimaev transforms into fat Santa Claus

    Happy Holidays. We're all just bystanders. Nature takes its course until it all comes back to equilibrium. Rinse and repeat.

    Does Kazmat Smoke Weed?

    People have always fornicated throughout history when society physically allows it. It goes back to what I said earlier, its a sin but not apostasy. When I meant raunchy, I meant things like making porno, group sex activities, sodomy, etc. All that stuff happens too, but most government don't...

    Is the IBO belt slowly becoming another “major” belt?

    I think most of them were under Bob Arum, or many were. If the IBO can link up with a major US or UK promoter in a similar manner. It would help them tremendously. They have GGG and Joshua though. They seem to love the IBO belt. I think Joshua realizes that Lennox Lewis held the IBO when he...

    Media Khamzat Chimaev transforms into fat Santa Claus

    It's just a small part of it. Did you miss my part about demagoguery? Because I'm an anti-racist as well. I mentioned three completely distinct things, but glad to know you noticed your trigger words. It doesn't really matter what people think of my beliefs because that will always be the case...

    Does Kazmat Smoke Weed?

    In Sunni Islam, it is said that the soul enters the fetus at circa 120 days. So abortion in the first trimester would be the sin of ending a pregnancy, but abortion in the second trimester (or beyond 4 months) would be equivalent to murder which is a major sin. In Turkey and Tunisia it is legal...

    Does Kazmat Smoke Weed?

    Putting aside the fringe sects who always consumed Wine or Hard Liquor, all other major sects of Islam (Sunni, Zaydi, Ibadi, Kharijite, Twelver, and Ismaili) consider it to be sinful and prohibited through Qiyas. However, in all Islamic sects (with the exception of the Kharijite, Ibadi and...

    Is the IBO belt slowly becoming another “major” belt?

    https://boxrec.com/en/champions Doesn't include the WBA regular world and gold belts though. That's what the IBF originally did to gain recognition. The IBO never did that. I've seen many people act like the IBO just throws belts around like its free. It's not. The physical belt alone costs...

    Is the IBO belt slowly becoming another “major” belt?

    Glad you noted that IBO and WBO were founded the same year. The only reason why WBO is considered official and IBO isn't is because WBO got in bed with Bob Arum who in turn was in bed with Sky Sports. In 2006, Sky Sports literally said they recognize WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO and no other belts...

    UFC is setting up Conor to lose

    The ones in the Gulf Arab states hate Muslims more than non-Muslims. Always have. He's got plenty of fans there, so not much to worry. They'll probably gift him a few cars and luxury watches. Some expensive champagne, and hookers he can even shit on - if that's your thing.

    If a Sambo guy won UFC 1...

    Based on your tone, you really are a troll. If you're angry then shout at them, not me. My interpretation of what he said was: He got his hands around Ken's throat but then used one of his hands to grab his own belt to squeeze/pull tighter and not let go.

    Media Khamzat Chimaev transforms into fat Santa Claus

    You are correct that Christmas and Easter holidays take a lot from pagan Roman and pagan Northern European religions or traditions. Even the Christmas tree (Northern European) and Eastern eggs (Roman) borrowed from them.

    Media Khamzat Chimaev transforms into fat Santa Claus

    Yeah, the idea of a "Christian" or "Muslim" name is a myth. Certain "Jewish names" might have been a thing at one point but that was pre circa 1 AD. The only Christian name is the word Christian itself, although even that is debatable since Christos just means 'Anointed' in Greek. Arab...

    If a Sambo guy won UFC 1...

    So we're not disagreeing, other than the fact that Shamrock lost UFC 1. They could have entered other grapplers in UFC 1 as well, that's my point. They stuffed it with strikers and with bums. Here's the former commentator speaking on the first Ken fight: Royce grabbed his belt when choking...

    Does Kazmat Smoke Weed?

    I'll just say this. Just as how the Amish, Old Mennonites and Hutterites refrain from technology and electricity based on their interpretation of Christian religion. In the Muslim community too, one can abstain from such based on interpretation. And there were MANY who abstained from visual...
