Topuria's hands must feel like granite

Rare occasion where a draw feels like the right decision.

Neither fighter deserved to lose that war

Damn it, for unfortunate family reasons I wasn't able to get to my usual sports bar today and missed the UFC entirely.

I'll go looking for a replay I guess...

Does anyone watch Pro Wrestling like WWC and the like?

I don't (outside of when I was a kid in school) but I've been watching videos about it on youtube and I find the whole thing fascinating about how these athletes have to work together to put on a show for the audience and how sometimes things go off script, the politics, the drama ect.

I was into it as a kid like most, grew out of it but every so often might watch a YouTube video. More the history perspective of things and insider knowledge like you mentioned that gets my attention these days though.


Was a really good doco series called The Dark Side of Ring which I watched a while back which as title suggests tells alot of Dark past stories, believe it's all on YouTube. Murder, drugs, extortion. Is well worth checking out

Also seen a few shorts on YouTube from The Undertaker's podcast, was my favourite as a kid and has some really cool stories.

Ricky was a bit older by the time I started watching, late 90s/early 00s was when I was old enough to actually have any idea wtf was going on haha

I don’t watch it a lot these days, but I did when I was younger. Although I do appreciate the sheer athleticism and talent the modern wrestlers possess.

I also don’t look down at my nose at it like the “ya know its fake right” crowd, mate so is Ironman. To me wrestling is basically like watching any other tv show or movie, its scripted entertainment. People shouldn’t be embarrassed if they enjoy it. Its fine.

Ah OK yeah I know about him, definitely not real like Hulk.

I thought you might have been referring to Ironman triathlons.
