I thought the fight was a lot closer than some people make it out to be. Remember thinking it was 115-113 or maybe 116-112 for Fury. Definitely a hard fought victory from Fury. Yeah that gash was absolutely nasty and they wouldn't have given Wallin that same leeway if Tyson did that to him. 

The thing is with tyson fury, even if his whole face was completely unrecognizable, he'd still want to fight. he'd rather die than quit on his stool or have a doctor stoppage.

Sorry Rigno that thread was taken down.


Threads need some justifiable reason for their existence, folks!

@Gregory

Hmmmm I'm curious how many times threads have been taken down?  Didn't even know you could do that.

if you are an administrator you can do whatever 

I'm fine with it being taken down lmao. Also that puts you higher on my list for actually doing your job

...And really, the bar for what constitutes 'justifiable' really isn't set very high, given that my thread which is truly an absolute bucket of shyte still exists. 

What if oddsbot was able to pick the method ( other than dec) not just the favourite, and did so by selecting the most selected method of victory for every fight?

Agreed on both of those messages baldric.

@Baldric Eggling

@Oddsbot barley understands the English language so I think wanting him (it?) to comprehend prop bets is a bit too much of an ask.

@cheeseball we don't need to take very many threads down. maybe one a week. sometimes just because someone creates a thread by accident and asks for it to be removed. 

Makes sense. Good thing my precious Sumo thread is safe lol.

Where would we be without it?

nice.

volkanovski vs dustim is the fight to make, 155

OK, in a nutshell it's basically a "Welcome to Tapology/Tapology help/assistance thread" to try and help new users settle in. A sort of interactive Q&A page. 

Basically, I got this idea because I've been followed by lots of new users over the last year and I always follow back and leave them a welcome message on their page but very few of them seem remain active members. I don't know the exact figures of how many new accounts are made per day but I'd guess it'd be surprisingly high. The thing is you don't see 99% of them. If they are choosing to remain virtually unknown then fair enough if that's how they want to enjoy the site but I think a lot of them might want to be more active but might be a bit shy or don't know how to break the ice, especially on the forums. I know when I originally created an account, my original plan was to use it soley for UFC and Bellator picks and I never intended to become as active as I have and it's only when @Hippie left a comment on my wall "Holy PINK!" (My AV was just a plain pink square at the time) that I realised that it could actually be a great place to have a laugh and talk about MMA.... and then it basically just snowballed from there. 

My point is not all new users are lucky enough to have someone reach out to them randomly with a joke or a welcome message or they may want to talk on the forums but don't really know how to approach it or may fear how there'll be perceived (I've seen many sites where new users get treated like complete **** just for having the audacity to disagree with a more established member). So this thread would basically be a safe space for new users where they can ask questions about how certain parts of the site work without fearing as coming across as stupid and to get to know some of the regulars in the process. As for the posts in it, I was thinking of maybe making posts that are quick guides on how to do things such as rankings, fantasy games, and stuff that the we use all the time but may be completely alien to a new user. Any feedback on what the right approach to a thread like this would be?

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Ideas that I find cool:
Interim belt should be Silver

Every division should have Fight of the year except female fw

5 judges in championship fights (atleast 3 picked by UFC so there are no boxing or just idiotic judges

UFC doing something like Formula 1 - fans voting for their favourite performance of the night/loser of the night so they gain 50k bonus

3 episodes of embedded for specific Fight nights

ufc app for mobile devices where you can win UFC merch or tickets (picking game like on this forum, or just guessing exact time of fight's finish) 

update ufc mobile game

do an hour movie each month for fighters from specific country
like january - georgia - top 5 fighters from there - vlog of their day and training camp

make netflix or hbo produce some MMA movie that would promote the sport globally
