Freemoneyforall made a poor-taste remark, what I presume to be a twelve year old SJW took it as an opportunity to virtue signal, as 12 YO SJWs are inclined to do, and then Greg catered to said 12 YO by handing out one the worst bans in living memory to Freemoneyforall.
I explicated how what Freemoneyforall had written was technically not racist, which was the accusation, and cited examples of why making value distinctions via non sequitur is dangerous. And that was like trying to explain particle physics to a Penguin.
And then I got a bunch of downvotes, afterwards had an iced coffee so bad I'm actually remembering it in this post.
The end.

Nobody has the right to not be offended.
You know what would be worse than a world featuring occasional yet multivariate forms of *******ry--which incidentally is the world we live in?
A grey, sterilized universe filled with identikit ******* dittoheads where literally everything that could ever be said had to first pass through a PC filter as discriminating as muslin cloth.
Don't let it happen. It depends on you.

Israel Adesanya, TKO, R4
Really could see an upset here however Adesanya has proven a number of times now that he is legit, Romero is very dangerous and there is no denying he does have a strong chance of catching Adesanya with something nasty that turns Adesanya`s lights out but i just dont think this is going to happen. i predict that Romero shows up and looks dangerous in the opening 2 rounds and then it turns into the Adesanya show with the occasional romero burst of energy but not doing to much.... i can see Adesanya then going on to get a unanimous decision but i am going to go out there and predict he gets a finish late in the 4th.
Quiñones vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R2
Highly anticipated return from O`Malley, serious prospect and i can see this being very one sided, i would imagine O`Malley will be looking to mark his return with a finish and he certainly has the ability to do it. i am backing this to end in the second but i would not be shocked at all if O`Malley ends this in the first..
Madsen vs. Hubbard
Mark O. Madsen, TKO, R1
1st round annihilation.... Madsen is one to keep an eye on!

Whether you agree or not with my decision, the terminology is at least a little important: @free was not banned. he was suspended for like 2 days for a post I thought was unacceptable. @free then came back and said more things which I did not find acceptable, and so he was suspended for 7 days to make my position VERY clear.
@free's account is not currently suspended. i don't know why he hasn't come back. but when/if he does, and if he's reading this, i'd advise him to just move on and not try and call me out and challenge how i run this place. i don't have any interest in banning @free or continuing to dwell on this.

Beneil Dariush, SUB, R2
This has the makings for a classic with reach and experience and probably cardio adv going to benny, staredown and actual size adv going to the guy who desperately needs a nick name actually i feel this will be very close and give a ko and decision possibility to klose. 60/40 my math

Israel Adesanya vs Yoel Romero
What's frustrating about Yoel is that he has never truly adapted his wrestling base to MMA. In fact I would rate him as the worst in this regard of any pedigreed wrestler on the roster. You might be surprised to learn that his TDA is a meager 31%, which puts him in the bottom bracket in MW. Weidman is at 50% to put that into perspective.
He's also demonstrated time and time again a tendency to fight overly cautious, or to otherwise wait too long for a massive counter that doesn't deliver any results while he gets peppered away and outpointed.
None of this amounts to anything good against a guy like like Adesanya, who is very mobile, has very solid TDD, is scrambly, far younger, and a massively more intricate and sophisticated striker.
If Yoel somehow does manage to get Israel on his back early, Izzy is going to get busted to bits and TKO'ed. Brutally. I believe that's unlikely however. I'll take Adesanya by decision.
