Someone posted on another website that the area where Cyborg got hit is the weak area of the forehead. If he got hit a couple inches higher, he would've had a lot more protection.

sigh...

My thoughts too. When I first saw the video (not knowing how badly Cyborg was hurt), I laughed hysterically.

Also major loss of respect for the Dana Trump support

Why does that makes you lose respect? its pretty consistent with how he acts. (like an asshole)

Trump has always been a fan of combat sports and he is just looking for his own interests.

Yeah that pokemon thing was just genius, he obviously didnt know the seriousness of the situation. Its just a celebration like many fighters do after a big KO (for example the shhh he is sleeping thing that many fighters use and the Gangnam style dancing of Picket). A lot of fans on social media are criticizing Page and that is just stupid.

Besides Page posted this on his twitter account




His found rase has raised 23K so far

I guess I just wrongly assumed he was a bit more of a socially conscience person and the whole hardass/asshole persona was a more of a facade for how he actually is. Also, the idea of only looking out for one's own interests is not something I respect

His career is basically over.

He's 31-years-old, and lost to all of the guys in the top-3 spots: McGregor, Aldo, and Edgar.

By the time he's able to return, he'll be 33-years-old.

cruz goat.

I'm currently watching a documentary on Netflix called Prescription Thugs, where Chris Leben talks a little bit about his pill popping.

Leben mentions: "I got sick when I fought Brian Stann; I told everybody it was sugar. Nobody knows this.

I was backstage diarrhea-ing and vomiting between my legs. And they're calling "Chris Leben, out to fight, here you go, let's go."

I stepped into the cage like that."

I think leben got busted for oxymorphone and oxycodone at some point, i vaguely remember that. Rough to have to fight in bad withdrawal

The LP website admins just made a small update. We can now automatically embed Instagram and Twitter pictures + videos by simply posting the direct link (the basic URL; no special embed code needed). If you're unsure of what I mean, click on "Quote" on this post to see the Instagram link I entered.

Tip: Don't post a bunch of Twitter & Instagram links on the same page, or else it will add too much clutter.
