Growing up I never gave a shit about ANY sports.
Now I watch MMA and, occasionally, pro ball. And I like going to a local hockey game, but I don't really follow the sport.
Other than that, I have other shit to do.

Clearly that tez is a troll, X. The jig is up but she's just going to keep going round in circles playing the "who, me?" game until whoever she's dealing with just leaves it alone.
Try the tempurpedic mattress or whatever one has the wine glass commercial.
I think that sleep number one (that may be it) is the one Im gonna get.
i think the memory foam one is the cheap kind. Heard it loses it's elasticity after about a year. The temperpedic one is really expensive.
nevermind. didn't realize the sleep number one was around 2k. What an absurd amount for a bed.

Dennis Siver Targeting Move to Featherweight
I dunno about that shit. He's so goddamn muscley.
He'll use some holocaust techniques and drop ten pounds.
"DeathClutch Gym will stay alive, according to Lesnar manager, Brian Stegeman. Lesnar wishes to continue training to remain athletically fit and helping his training partners grow as fighters. However, he himself has retired from competing in Mixed Martial Arts.
Grappling Tournaments, however, are still something Brock Lesnar has shown interested in according to Mr. Stegeman. Lesnar has been grappling his entire life. One can only assume that a grappling tournament would feel more like home for him than a mixed martial arts fight.
Lesnar feels he would be successful in such tournaments and will use his time in training now as preparation for any future Submission Wrestling/BJJ tournament. Though Lesnar has always trained no-gi Jiu-Jitsu, he is willing to compete in the Mundials (World Jiu-Jitsu Championship) under the black belt level.
The 2013 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championships is also something Lesnar is considering. Many other wrestlers have had success in this tournament.
Brock Lesnar loves competition, and there is no better competition for him than Submission Wrestling."
Why would Siver do that? It's not like he lost because Cerrone outmuscled him. He just got worked by a better fighter.
It all started with a "tell" Siver had striking. They saw he likes to drop his right hand when he attacks and Cerrone was able to time that headkick just right. If they fought again I think it would have lasted longer with the same result in the end. I think Siver is looking to finally be on par with the average size of the fighters in his weight class though. being 5'5 with no real grappling credentials doesn't help in a division packed full of wrestler hybrids.
I think he's more like 5'6" or 5'7".
Oh man, check out the trail of tears from BE commenters about Houston kicking his kid's ass.

under the IBJJF rules he has to actually be a blackbelt in bjj and have a 2nd degree blackbelt sign off on his experience. If Comprido gives him a black belt, he could compete. But I understand that he is a purple belt. Some instructors require you to have overall skill and knowledge of all positions, but not everyone sees it the same way- to some people, if you can beat a bb, then you are a bb.
It seems strange to me that anyone would feel differently. I mean, Shogun didn't instantly become a karate black belt because he knocked out Machida. It just makes him a good muay Thai guy.
Right, but some people feel differently. I mean, Rolles gave Rashad a blackbelt. I am sure he has a good working knowledge of all positions... but I would be pretty shocked if he had the guard of a black belt. So when he is too weak to get on top all of the time, is he no longer a blackbelt? How does he teach the guard submissions and sweeps? Who knows what he does in the gym, but I would be surprised if he had a well rounded game.
Well this brings up the question of whether being a black belt is more about knowledge or more about ability. I think you could have a working knowledge of something and be able to teach it without necessarily being very good in competition. My judo instructor back in the day used to say that some judoka are just never going to be good at competition, but he didn't feel that meant they shouldn't be promoted.
It is a combination of both things in bjj. A bjj blackbelt definitely has to be able to roll. The only real exceptions are for old people, in which case you sort of ask yourself how they would deal with another old man. At some point, your physical attributes fail you and even a ton of knowledge is not going to make you competitive. We have a bb at my gym who is 60. I saw him go from purple to black, when I got there as a 30 year old white belt, he could tap me out despite weighing 130 pounds and being 57 years old. These days, he can't really roll with me if I went full speed, but he can keep in step with me if we just flow roll. He still taps out white belts of all shapes and sizes though.
In bjj, you really don't get to black belt without being able whup a minimum amount of ass. BUt there are blackbelts with red panels (which signifies a teaching bb) as opposed to the traditional black panel (a fighting bb).
Teaching BB and Fighting BB. . . That's interesting. . .
So is it possible to become a black belt in BJJ without ever going to a competition? Because I know that in most martial arts competition is optional. It's not required to advance up the ranks.
yeah, you don't have to compete. Danaher never competed once (one of GSP's bjj coaches), but I hear that he submits everyone including world champs. Some guys compete, some don't. Most schools have competition teams. If you are on the comp team, a little more rolling proficiency is expected. Some schools have comp team patches on the gi to delineate the "fighters" (they call competitors fighters) from the guys just training for fun.
That wasn't his BJJ black belt he was given in the middle of cage?
I think it was his black belt in UFC
