Then they have all those behind the scenes stuff and TUF if you're in to that, as well as EBI if you're in to grappling.I think it's worth it at $9 a month, since that's like a meal at KFC for a month of convenient martial arts content, but obviously if you're not in to MMA then it's probably not the best thing for you. I normally spend a few hours watching the collections they put up on the weekend and then a few random fights while I'm eating. I've got a few mates that fight on one of the regional Australian promotions that is partnered with Fight Pass so it's really great that I can watch those fights for free instead of having to pay for the PPV.Also if you're in to it, a lot of the old entrance songs are redubbed. >> [name redacted] !h55/E7mIo6 - Mon, 15 Aug 2016 22:37:24 EST 8gevlVHo No.57396 Reply 1471315044007.jpg -(196680B / 192.07KB, 1282x810) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. >>57395I mean if you wanted the original entrances, they're redubbed with generic rock and rap because of copyright stuff.

I wanna be the very best! The best there ever waaaaass!!

Alright, I'm making it official. Bear witness as I make this proclamation: I want to someday be the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world. That's the goal I'm setting for myself and will work towards starting today.I know this probably sounds ridiculous, but all my life I've never once really challenged myself. I've never once set a goal and then worked at it until I had accomplished it or failed beyond all attempts. I've never even really ever wanted anything other than to not be alone before in my life. I've never had any self esteem, but sometimes I know that I'm better than I give myself credit for, and that possibly if I just believed in myself I could actually accomplish something. I'm not good with people, or at least, interacting with them sends me into a state of anxiety and almost OCD-like worry that lasts long after the interaction has ended. I feel stuck, limited by my neuroses, but this is something I know I can do. Or perhaps to put it more accurately, I know I can try to do. I have a realistic picture of how this is going to go. This is going to be a war against myself with many many battles, and I'm not going to win them all, but I swear to myself that I'm going to win the war. I swore that the moment my dad told me that if I went boxing all the black guys would beat me up and that I stood no chance against any of them. He wanted me to stay at home, like he always does. I realized then that he had failed in his responsibility as a parent to instill his child with self confidence and many of the life experiences that usually build that confidence. I determined that as an adult I was going to take that responsibility back into my own hands. It's a difficult task given what little self esteem I have to work with but I think I'm up to it. I didn't for a long time, but after seeing how delusional people are on /r9k/ and elsewhere on the chans, I realized that I've been just as delusional. I'm using this thread because I know I need peer pressure to make myself do anything. I'm going to be reporting in periodically with progress reports. Current stats:5'11.5''~140lbsCan't run a mile without having to walkCan barely do 30 pushups and a 45 second plankMy first step will be to start going for runs before work every morning and doing some light workouts on the heavy bag, mainly focusing on form in the evenings.>tl;dr>I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST!

Not OP but oddly enough I'm in a similar situation in which I'm looking to join a boxing gym in September.

And that round 3 was EXTREMELY dominant, it reminded me of Hunt's fight against Stipe Miocic where the only reason it went for another round was because the ref failed to stop it.

The winning bid, should things proceed, is expected to be for a valuation between $3.5 billion and $4 billion, multiple sources with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN.com.>"As a private company, we don't discuss speculation or rumors related to our business," said Dave Sholler, vice president of public relations and athlete marketing for the UFC.>Investment bank Goldman Sachs has been representing Zuffa LLC, which bought the UFC in 2001 for only $2 million. Sources with knowledge of the numbers presented to potential investors said that Goldman Sachs had represented UFC's last full year earnings in the $200 million to $250 million range, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. A new television rights deal, which would begin in 2019, could add an additional $250 million in annual revenue to the bottom line, investors were advised.>Lorenzo Fertitta, who with his brother Frank owned more than 80 percent of the business at last public acknowledgment, told CNN in December that the private company grossed about $600 million in revenue last year. Besides the Fertittas, who are each worth about $1.6 billion, according to Forbes, the company has two other minority investors: UFC president Dana White and the Abu Dhabi government, which, under its Flash Entertainment arm, bought a 10 percent stake in the business for an undisclosed sum in 2010.>The leader in the bid to buy the biggest mixed martial arts business in the world is said to be Chinese-based conglomerate Dalian Wanda Group, sources said. Its chairman, Wang Jianlin, is the richest man in China, worth nearly $35 billion, according to Forbes Magazine.>The company has slowly been getting into sports. Last year, Wanda bought a 20 percent stake in soccer superpower Atletico Madrid for a reported $48 million. In March, amid the FIFA scandal, the company agreed to sign on as a FIFA partner, the highest level of sponsorship, through 2030.>Other bidders said to be in the mix are WME/IMG, which owns media properties and represents athletes, including Rousey, the former UFC bantamweight champion. Blackstone Group is also believed to be a bidder. A senior executive at the private equity firm, David Blitzer, owns a minority stake in the New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia 76ers and British soccer team Crystal Palace.>Another bidder is state-backed investment firm China Media Capital, which in October beat out Dalian Wanda and national broadcaster CCTV to win the broadcast rights for the Chinese Super League, the highest level of soccer in the country. In December, CMC, with another Chinese investment group, Citic Capital, bought a 13 percent stake of British soccer team Manchester City for a reported $400 million. UFC executive vice president Garry Cook was CEO of Manchester City from 2008 to 2011.http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/15503004/ufc-owners-advanced-talks-sell-promotionPic unrelated 34 posts and 2 images omitted.

A bit general for this board, but I found something worth a read. Apparently, doctors have devised a new surgery for ACL tears that gets the ACL fixed in 6 - 8 weeks and an athlete back to training within three months. All preliminary, of course, but this could be huge for fighters in a few years when it's no longer considered experimental.>On Wednesday, doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital announced that they have succeeded in reconnecting A.C.L.s in 10 patients using a novel technique.>Their preliminary results at three months suggest that healing an original A.C.L. without the usual grafts may be a viable option in the future.>In a preliminary study to assess safety, Dr. Martha Murray and her team at Boston Children’s Hospital performed standard reconstructions on 10 patients with A.C.L. tears and the experimental procedure, called bridge-enhanced A.C.L. repair, on 10 others.>In the experimental technique, the surgeons placed a blood-soaked sponge between the ligament’s severed ends; the sponge acted as a bridge, helping the ligament grow back together over the next six to eight weeks.>No participants in either group had ligaments that failed to reconnect, got an infection or had stiff knees.>Three months after the operation, Mr. Peak, a doctoral candidate at Harvard School of Public Health, was back to running on the treadmill. This spring he will play ultimate Frisbee and soccer.>However, repaired A.C.L.s have failed in the past. In the 1980’s, surgeons tried stitching torn A.C.L.s back together. The initial results were good, but five years later, less than half of those knees remained stable, Dr. Hannafin said.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/24/health/acl-tear-reconstruction-surgery-boston-childrens-hospital.htmlKing of injuries pic always related. 42 posts and 3 images omitted.
