I can't believe McGregor, Mendes and MacDonald all got $10K less than Lawler... that's pretty lame.  |

The whole Reebok thing is going to take a while before it stops being lame.

Unrelated to pay - the uniforms were all bland as fuck and unimpressive. I was SOOOO bored by them, and half the time they look the same. 60% White, 40% Black is not that distinguishable from 60% Black, 40% white....dumbasses.

Two completely separate topics, and pretty much the first time I have ever done it outside of "Processed" and "updated". It was meant to make each specific comment easier to quote and reply to, and bring about the possibility of 2 separate, yet parallel conversations.
....or, you know...I guess a pointless fight about the first time I have double posted, because that is more interesting to do than intellectually discuss current events.

Man, you really do have short term memory loss.  lol It's not the first time... nor likely to be your last, and I wasn't referring to "Updated" & "Processed" either or pick a fight. Just find it funny that you give others shit for things you do yourself is all. lol |

Let's be honest here, no one has been getting punished for double posting lately, so really, who gives a fuck?
Also, I agree, I had a hard time distinguishing who was who based on shorts for fighters I wasn't familiar with. I'd rather just straight black with a white line and straight white with a black line, if they want that mix.

Yay, someone who wants to talk not just argue like a childish tool!
It also takes out the trademark look of fighters. Chuck Liddell would not have his blue ice shorts these days. And what about Anderson's yellow and black? TIto's fire shorts? All these custom looks, GONE. Cause, you know...we're "cleaning up the sport"

You gotta think that those will eventually return to give fighter ssome creativity, but these are new and fresh and ugly as fuck. The marketing will come back eventually.
Nothing will ever impress me like BJ Penn's white shorts turned red due to punishing Kenny Florian.

Did you see the canvas at UFC 189 by the end of the night? The whole thing was red-spotted from all the bloody blood and face smashing. It was creepy and kinda pretty.
