Dagestanis are like turtles. Grappling is their sound of the sea.

Khamzat on why he didn’t grapple Burns: When I took him down, he [Burns] tried to do an armbar or something, and I was like ‘yeah, no. I don’t like that shit’ by RhettButler7 in MMA

I mean, you're completely right about its loose application in bjj, but I find your comment funny bc I read it as, bjj world champ doesn't mean the same as other sports--except with Gilbert it does, so carry on lmao

Alexander Volkanovski: I've earned a shot at lightweight title by Plankerwoodsyes in MMA

[–]luckman_and_barris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont get me wrong, Volk's a beast but I'm still curious to see Volk face a grappling bulldog. That was just odd timing for Mendes. It was his 2nd fight after a 3-year layoff and had his foot out the door in hindsight. Still was competitive until he gassed out and completely gave up in the fight. So Volk fighting a grappler a weight up, regardless the memes, would be pretty fucking spicy.

Nick Diaz just shared this. Return soon? by RZBR in MMA

[–]luckman_and_barris 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm probably alone on this one but I think Nick deserves one last shot at resurrecting his career with the full backing of the UFC promotion machine. Word on the street was that the Lawler fight came together relatively quickly and he "only" had 8 weeks to prepare, which was a lot less than he wanted. When you're coming off an almost 7 year layoff, you're going to need more than 2 months to properly prepare.

The grappling of Ben Askren vs Demian Maia by stayhappystayblessed in MMA

[–]luckman_and_barris -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It drives me nuts how people keep pointing to this fight as having high-level grappling exchanges. Askren succeeded with his takedowns and, funny enough, his unorthodox striking, sure, but Maia was a step ahead on the ground the entire time.

Aljamain Sterling predicts the post-fight conversation after Saturday's Petr Yan rematch. by -alc in MMA

[–]luckman_and_barris -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If we are going on past performance, then Aljo was well on his way to losing to Yan if he wasn't a fucking blockhead. I'm just reading this as actually a lack of confidence, which has me concerned. Compare that to Gilbert Burns, who is completely honest in his assessment of Chimaev...and that's why he's training his dick off so he'll be extremely ready.

Well, surprise, motherfucker, I want Aljo to win, but talking about how you're going to dominate Petr Yan, who has fucked up actual legends is both bad promotion, denying reality, and tells me shit is going to go sideways if this "legendary" plan doesn't work out.

I really don't get it. Yan has proven himself to be a real motherfucker in the division. I don't know if he just needs to psyche himself up, wants the clout, or is just pissed how much shit Yan keeps talking, but it is fucking delusional to think he's going to dominate Petr Yan.

Classical Piano? by Sonk02 in NameThatSong

I'm not sure if it's from the soundtrack, but it I'd st the very least a cover

What's the sub-genre of this background electronic music? by luckman_and_barris in NameThatSong

[–]luckman_and_barris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saudi Arabia has an ambitious development project they are advertising all over YouTube that has a song I can track nothing down on. While it is most likely an original piece made for the commercial, I'd still like to know the niche genre this type of song is in so I can explore it. This sub's help would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely an odd choice to mix a pretty rough martial art with cutesy chibi style artwork. Other thing thst stood out to me was the designer has been training for 25 years but still doesn't have a black belt. Lady is getting sandbagged!

Seeking help for a gift by meca_mcr in boardgames

[–]luckman_and_barris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know how the mods have been treating game recommendation posts recently, but I would recommend check Zee Garcia from the Dice Tower's reviews. I only have experience with the base game, but if it were me, I'd go with Perlae Imperii just because I don't think this game benefits from having an extra player.

How did you introduce people to board games? by BoardsndBrews in boardgames

I get in their face, scream, "Say hello to my little friend!" and pull out Love Letter. Just kidding. I blindside them with Mage Knight.

[AMAZON] Funko Games Sale - up to 54% by menben in Boardgamedeals

[–]luckman_and_barris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got to play a shortened game before having to go out this past weekend and gotta say, what a welcome throwback! Even beyond the retro look, Pan Am feels like an old-school board game. I'd imagine it'd be like the 20th edition of Monopoly if they kept evolving the mechanics.

Trying to match a fight. by FloppyDinosaurs in MMA

[–]luckman_and_barris 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Lmao you know nothing bro. You missed the barrier to entry of being a total fucking badass, which some people--me included--are just born with, no training necessary. I'd volunteer myself but I pulled my minge. Next time.

Too heavy board games by luckman_and_barris in boardgames

[–]luckman_and_barris[S] 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I apologize to anyone who sees this wall of text and nopes out. It honestly didn't seem like that much while I was writing it but seeing it live makes me feel like it's the reddit post of a too-complicated board game.

Leon Edwards doesn’t expect Jorge Masvidal fight ever happening unless champion: ‘F—k it, let’s fight’ by Leto1776 in MMA

[–]luckman_and_barris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably an unpopular opinion, but as it fucking should. It shouldn't be confusing why popularity and excitement matter in a sport like this. I don't want to watch Damian Maia backpack someone for 25 minutes, I want to see him choke the shit out of them. I don't want to see Stephen Thompson point fight. I want to see him wheelkick Jake Ellenberger into next year.
