Sure, lets do it

I do it, but the fight is still 2-3 month away, by then we both forget.

Btw. Enjoy Yan getting ko’d with a single punch by the great Aljamain

Maybe holding his oscar for greatest dive everyday increased his punching power, could be

but foreal I was looking at Brimage's record earlier and I can see why they were giving those crazy matchups. He was 6-1 with two wins over 10-0 opponents plus he pull off a very underrated knock out two fights after losing to Conor.

Yep, I picked Brimage and Mendes. :/

He's still doing picks apparently but weirdly he's not picking full cards.

Where the hell is fishrat and his thread. *** happened.

Fish rat was banned

I don't miss him tbh. If your going to rant about American politics go to reddit not some random MMA forum.

Fish was funny and made some fun threads but in the end he made more trouble than anything else.
To be fair he would argue about anything he and freemoney who also seems gone went on about evolution for a spell.
I never had a run in with him unlike several other trolls on here, greg made it easy to block em so all the *****ing you hear is for sake of being heard.
Still the best forum ive ever been on hell we even have some fighters on here.

My post on this matter seems to have been deleted. Oh, well.

ETA: CountryMac, that's a damned interesting first post.

So Simon Biles. Truly suffering from mental issues or coward? Someone give a opinion

Imagine Jackie Robinson while breaking the color barrier in baseball all of a sudden said "Nah not today guys, my anxiety is crippling" 

I don't mind nor care what she chooses to do either way. Do what makes ya happy, good on you. I do believe she will regret it down the road when she looks back at all the medals she could have had but again that affects no one but herself. 

Tim Dillon said "When did quitting because of your mental health become more honorable than just going out there giving it your best and losing" 

@Xconchris

I'd never heard of her before this whole thing so I've no idea what sort of athlete she's normally like but the way I look at it is like this: She's the only person who knows what's going on inside her head so she's the only person in a position to decide what's right for her. I'm sure she is a highly motivated athlete as getting to the Olympics and winning gold medals isn't exactly something you can do in your spare time but if she decides that leaving all that to focus on her mental health is the right thing to do, then that's her call. I'm sure it sucks for her teammates in the team events though and I do feel sorry for them but that's the only valid criticism that I can think of in this situation.

On Biles: I cannot remember any precedent for this, so it's hard to say.

However, to stretch logic a little bit, this reminds me a little of how elite starting pitchers were used decades ago, specifically Sandy Koufax. Dodger management was adamant that they couldn't allow Koufax to be a "seven-inning pitcher". They needed him to pitch effectively for nine innings, even with the arthritis and circulatory issues he was having. Koufax was brilliant, but he pitched his last game at age 30, saying that he may lose the use of his arm if he stayed in the game. Sports medicine has learned a lot about how to protect pitchers against career-ending injury and catastrophic chronic conditions, and today complete games are about as common as me having a threesome with two Brazilian models. I mean, they happen, but they're rare. In today's conditions, Koufax would have had a much better shot at a normal career - because sports medicine knows a lot more than it did in 1966.

Perhaps in fifty years we will have learned more about athletes and mental health and recognize how many careers - and lives - were ruined by "toughing it out". Or maybe not. It's difficult to tell, and damned if I have enough background to say with my pissant Big 10 psych degree. I know what my gut tells me, but my gut is kind of an idiot sometimes.  Two weeks ago, we lost a big account at work and a friend of mine was murdered, so I quite sensibly took Friday afternoon off. That's not the same as the Olympics, but Biles already has more hardware than True Value, and Lee won the Gold anyway. It will be interesting to see how we look at it five years from now.

As we sit in our chairs and talk about the highest level athlete being human
WAIT? HUMAN!? NO! THEY SHOULD BE INVINSIBLE AND PERFECT!

@stu I'm sorry to hear about your friend, that's terrible

I do think she would be catching a lot less grief though if she hadn't bedazzled a goat on every piece of clothing shes worn in public the last 6 months leading up to the Olympics. 

This is what I was interested. We follow MMA so closely, we usually know from teammates and from following the fighter if they are simply being a drama queen and a chicken or they are suffering from a serious mental health problem and need help. I didn't know anything about Simon so I am bound to give the benefit of the doubt that her problems are real. We have seen no reasons for them not to be. Or past behavior showing she's weak. She seems like a dedicated individual who takes her sport very serious. She's just a human being like everyone and has a breaking point. So until I hear something from teammates or substantial sources that she's exaggerating or something else, I would lean towards real issues and believe her.
