Triplemania XXVII preview

I always feel like I should cover more stuff from Mexico, but I just haven’t gotten the hang of lucha yet. Nevertheless, AAA is running its biggest show of the year on Saturday, August 3 (9pm Eastern) and you can watch the whole thing live on their Twitch streams.

A word of caution: AAA has stream for both English and Spanish feeds, but the English announce team is Matt Stryker and Vampiro, and they’re pretty terrible at it. I mean, I kinda hate most wrestling announce teams, but I’d rather listen to Corey Graves berate Alex Marvez while Don Callis puts himself over for four hours--Stryker and Vamp are that bad. So while I know it’s tempting for newcomers to rely on the English commentary to figure out the product, I can’t recommend it in this case. The Spanish announce team at least sounds like they’re calling pro wrestling and not recording a podcast while drunk.

Also, this show is probably gonna run pretty late into the night, and the August 4 G1 Climax show is going to start pretty early (2am Eastern), so if you’re planning on doing both you may be in for quite a marathon.

Blue Demon, Jr. vs. Dr. Wagner, Jr. - This is a lucha de apuestas (”match with wagers”). If Demon loses, he will unmask and publicly announce his true identity. If Wagner loses, he will have his head shaved. Demon, 52, is undefeated in this type of match. Wagner, 53, has only lost once, when he gave up his mask, although he more recently defended his hair in a match against Jeff Jarrett. Wagner has suggested he will retire if he loses, but that’s not an official stip as far as I can determine.

Wagner originally issued a challenge to LA Park for this type of match at this show, but Park is notoriously difficult to work with and evidently he and AAA couldn’t come to terms on it. I’m no expert on lucha libre but I’ve heard all about how hard it is to negotiate a match where masks and/or hair are at stake. There’s a reason the main event of this show features two really old guys. The credibility of keeping your mask well into your fifties is huge in Mexico, far beyond any championship. I’m sure Wagner didn’t give that up cheap, and I doubt Demon will either.

On paper, you would expect the guy who is “just” wagering his hair to lose, since the masked man can only unmask the one time. Even so, a head shaving means a lot more in Mexico than in the US. So although I don’t expect much from the match, this should have some historic value, with a lot of genuine pride on the line.

Rey Fénix & Pentagón Jr. & Laredo Kid vs. Kenny Omega & Nick Jackson & Matt Jackson - Incidentally, Fenix and Pena are the AAA tag team champions, Fenix is the AAA heavyweight champion, and Laredo is both the AAA cruiserweight champion and one of the AAA trios champions. So they’ve got like five belts among them, but none of them are being defended on this show.

This is a rematch from AEW’s Fyter Fest, where the Elite (Omega and the Young Bucks) defeated the Lucha Brothers and Laredo. The Bucks and the Lucha Bros. have been feuding for months, most notably in a three-match series where the AAA tag team championship changed hands twice. I don’t expect the Elite are in Mexico for any reason except to return the favor; Fenix, Penta, and Laredo should pick up the win this time.

Psycho Clown & Cody Rhodes & Cain Velasquez vs. Taurus & Texano, Jr. & ??? - Taurus and Texano are Los Mercenarios, who interrupted when Cody was announcing the AEW-AAA partnership on March 16. They attacked Cody but Psycho Clown (one of the hottest babyfaces) made the save.

Velasquez is a 14-3 MMA fighter and a former UFC heavyweight champion, who also happens to be the guy who took the title from Brock Lesnar. So this feels like an attempt to present the Psycho Clown team as a bit of a dream team, with a top babyface, a legit badass, and a major American star. Seems like the heels need a really good ringer to match that, but I have no idea who it could be.

I gather Velasquez is sticking around to work several big AAA shows, so I assume he needs to get a win here, but that mystery partner has me wondering if there’ll be a swerve.

Keyra vs. Tessa Blanchard vs. Taya Valkyrie vs. Lady Shani vs. Faby Apache vs. Chik Tormenta vs. La Heidra - Keyra is defending the women’s championship in a tables, ladders, and chairs match. If it’s anything like an American TLC match, the title belt will be hung above the ring, and the only way to win is to be the first woman to climb a ladder to pull the belt down. (Since that makes disqualifications impossible, any foreign object would be legal, but tables, ladders, and chairs will be provided for the wrestlers to use.) I actually don’t remember if I’ve ever seen a Mexican ladder match, so the rules may be different. We’ll just have to see. Every AAA match I’ve seen so far suggests this will be a trainwreck, but at least it’ll be an interesting one. No idea who wins.

El Hijo del Vikingo & Myzteziz, Jr. & Golden Magic vs. Mocho Cota, Jr. & Carta Brava, Jr. & Tito Santana vs. Pimpinela Escarlata & Mamba & Máximo - This is a three-way trios match, and I assume the first man to pin any of his opponents will win the match for his team, but I’m just kinda winging it when it comes to lucha rules. Vikingo and Myzteziz are two of the AAA trios champions, but their championship partner is Laredo Kid, not Golden Magic, so the title is not at stake.

To get this out of the way, Myzteziz is not the guy who used to be Mistico/Sin Cara, and Tito Santana is not the guy that used to be in the WWF with the “Girls in Cars” video. I’m not sure why you’d name a guy “Tito Santana,” unless it’s to be super random like “Razor Ramon Hard Gay,” which is probably not the case here. Also Maximo is probably not the big cool titanosaur at the Field Museum of Natural History, but that would be pretty cool.

Vikingo and Myzteziz are from a trio called Jinetes del Aire (”air raiders”). The Cota/Brava/Santana team is called El Nuevo Poder del Norte (”the new power of the north”) and the Escarlata/Mamba/Maximo team is called Las Fresas Salvajes (”the fresh strawberries”). So...you know what, those strawberry guys must know something I don’t, that could be a secret weapon, I think I’m gonna just bet on those dudes.

Niño Hamburguesa & Big Mami vs. Sammy Guevara & Scarlett Bordeaux vs. Villano III, Jr. & Lady Maravilla vs. Australian Suicide & Vanilla - Mami and Hamburguesa are defending the AAA mixed tag team championship in a four-way match. In the US “mixed tag team” has come to mean “you can only wrestle opponents of your own gender,” but from what I’ve seen AAA is more lax about that stuff, and this may be more like what US promotions would call “intergender tag team” wrestling. I assume the first team to score a fall on any opponent wins the match and the title.

The only team I really know anything about is Guevara (from working the undercard in AEW) and Bordeaux (from beating up Disco Inferno on Impact). I’m kinda curious how those two ended up together. This looks like it’ll be undercard comedy wackiness, and I expect the champs to retain.

Copa Triplemania battle royale - This is for the “Triplemania Cup” trophy. The last time I saw a battle royale in AAA, everybody came out one at a time like in a Royal Rumble, and they were doing eliminations by pinfall, and Jeff Jarrett looked drunk and I think they fucked up the finish a couple of times. I don’t have high hopes for this one.

How do dogfights work?

If you read the first blog post of mine about how dogmen care for their dogs, perhaps you can better understand that dogfighting isn't exactly as it seems. Regardless, I think it is extremely important to preface this post by saying that just as with any industry in the world, there is a dark side and I do not intend to discredit the animals victimized by heinous participants in the sport. Mistreatment of dogs happens in the dark, streetfighting operations - just as cruelty has the potential to exist in every other aspect of the dog world. As such, I am NOT saying that mistreating dogs in the way some people do in this industry is okay. I am attempting to help people understand that there IS a responsible side to this sport and that it is possible to be a humane, compassionate dogman. It should also be noted that this post is not meant to encourage people break the laws. While I disagree that they should have ever been passed, I accept and recognize that they have been. Breaking the law is not okay! Without further adieu, let's delve into some of the big questions people have about dogfighting!

Are the dogs forced to fight?

No! To force an animal to fight would be to have the animal engage in combat against its will. Yet, the very principles of how a dogfight works (all contact at the dog's discretion) makes this idea of force laughable at best.

A dog match begins with two dogs being held in opposite corners. According to Rule 10 of the Cajun Rules (http://sporting-dog.com/select-pages/cajunrules.html), "The referee says, 'Let go', but the handlers must never push or shove their dogs and handlers shall not leave their corners until the dogs are together." This is called scratching and is not forced upon the dog. The handlers let go and the dogs immediately run towards each other.

Some may wonder "What if they hurt the dogs to make them run?" but yet again, this can be disproven. According to Rule 5 of the Cajun Rules, "the referee shall search the person named to wash the dogs and then have him bare his arm to the elbow and wash both dogs in the same warm water and rinse them each in his half of the warm clean water provided for that purpose." Why? To make sure there is nothing toxic in the water that would hurt the dog - or the dog biting him. Rule 6 says, "the referee must search handlers for means of foul play and see that he bares his arms to the elbow before he receives his dog and must keep his arms bare in such a manner during the contest." Simply put, the referee will not allow any foul play to occur that would cause the dog to run because it is being coerced into doing so. This also doesn't make sense, when you consider the principle of gameness.

Gameness is a canine virtue that is essentially the determination to overcome any situation and never back down, regardless of the current state of the body. It was developed in these APBTs by many generations of selective breeding and testing (through these aforementioned matches). This trait is just as innate to the APBT as the border collie's desire to herd and the pointer's desire to point. People often quote that "to deny a dog its nature is to do it great harm" but somehow this quote fails to pertain to the instinctual gameness rooted in a dog's genetics. The idea that these dogs don't want to fight and are forced to is grasping at straws. Watch the following video of a dog in the corner of a pit, up to scratch. Even before he is let go, he is pushing with all of his might to get the other dog! The body language is the same as any other dog when faced with an oulet to fulfill their innate drives. How is this one wrong but the others are accepted?

Some may say it's a matter of "consent" or lack of "comprehension of the consequences." That sure, the dog may want to fight, but they don't understand the repercussions and would no longer want to if they knew what the outcome would be. To this, I bring up the practice of courtesy scratching which is done after a match is over to allow the losing dog to have one more attempt to go at the other dog. This means that AFTER the dog has finished fighting, usually a bit dizzy and battered up, they still have the same desire to go after the other dog. Also, it must be remembered that dogs make negative associations and can easily become traumatized by something. If these dogs "wouldn't want to fight if they knew the repercussions" then why do some of the best game dogs have upwards of five wins? Why do these dogs come home from a long match and still show the same enthusiasm to fight the next time? Just because you wouldn't want to fight for hours in a pit doesn't mean it's cruel or that the dogs wouldn't want to. We recognize certain human individuals have a desire for combat (MMA, UFC), yet dogs that are selectively bred for this same desire are deemed victims of abuse.

How far do fights go? What damage happens to them? Is it to the DEATH?

Since these dogs will fight to the death if they are allowed to, humans have to interfere before that can happen - so no, they are not allowed to fight to the death! According to The Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier by Richard Stratton, "An actual death in the pit is a rarity for several reasons. First, a bulldog, while formidable, is also tough and hard to kill. Second, the rules provide that a dog loses and that match ends whenever a dog wishes to discontinue the contest. Third, dogmen do have a feeling for their dogs and are not going to leave them in to be killed for no reason."

As you can see, measures are taken to prevent death in dogfighting just like they are taken in other dog sports. But what about injuries?

Dogs used in fighting will be picked up before extreme injury. After hours of combat, they may be a bit dehydrated at the end and have a few nice scars to flaunt, but the idea that these dogs skin one another and pull out the other's guts is nothing but lore. In case of accidental extreme injuries, responsible dogmen are equipped with extensive first aid skills. According to California Jack's 2007 Indespensible Tips, the supplies a dogman should have on hand are:

• Lactated Ringers + IV Catheters Fluid Lines, Injection Ports, etc. Purpose: to replace lost fluid.

• Solu-Delta-Cortef (or Solu-Medrol) + Dexamethasone (or Azium) Purpose: Reduces swelling and discomfort.

• Antibiotics Purpose: To prevent infection.

• Salix (Furosemide) Purpose: Prevents kidney problems and aids in urination.

• Banamine Purpose: To relieve pain.

• Leather Shoestring or Equivalent Purpose: to be used with tourniquet to stop bleeding.

• Blood Stop Powder Purpose: To stop bleeding.

• Vitamin K Injectable Purpose: Clots blood and can stop internal bleeding.

• Gauze and Leg Tape Purpose: To secure ringers, splints and braces.

• 2 Full Cotton Rolls Purpose: Setting splints and leg wraps.

• 2 Adjustable Splints Purpose: Secures a broken limb.

• Spray Bottle of Betadine Purpose: Flushes out dirt and prevents toxins.

• Spray Bottle of 1 Quart of water and 25cc of Nolvasan (Chlorhexidine) Purpose: Same as above, but for deep cuts.

• Prepodyne Swabs Purpose: to cleanse the ears.

• Staple Gun (+ Removers) and Cat Gut Sutures Purpose: In emergencies, it can be used to close off serious wounds after they have been cleaned. The shtures can tie off bleeding arteries.

• Betadine Surgical Scrubs or Nolvasan Shampoo Purpose: Will prevent infection during cleansing.

• Scalpal and/or Surgical Razor Purpose: To cut away dead tissue in order to prevent gangreen and infecrion.

• Surgical Scissors Purpose: Same as above.

• Sterile Gloves Purpose: To prevent infection.

• Rectal Thermometer Purpose: To monitor temperature if a dog goes into shock.

• Sterile Vaseline or KY Jelly Purpose: Can aid in temperature taking.

• Super Glue Purpose: Repairing split ears and tails.

• Granulex Spray/Wonder Dust Purpose: Used during healing process to remove necrotic tissue.

• Two clean, dry blankets Purpose: To cover a dog while he is getting fluids and to keep him warm during recovery.

• Two Dozen 3cc Syringes w/ 12 Gauge Needles Purpose: For all needed injections

• Cytomax + Peak Condition Purpose: To provide a dog with life sustaining fluids, electrolytes and nutrients.

• Epinephrine "Epi" Purpose: In emergencies it can revive a dog whose heart shuts down.

Now, some may see this list and say "well, these people wouldn't need these supplies if it wasn't harmful!" Yet, most of these supplies are useful for any pet owner in the situation of a dog with an open wound and are used for basic hygeine and healing. Only a few items are used in extreme emergencies and are there for the rare chance something bad happens, not because it is a regular occurance! A dogman carries splints not because he expects his dog to break a leg, but because he wants to be prepared if worse comes to worst. But anybody reading this should keep in mind that dogmen are there for their dogs during these fights. In fact, in the Cajun rules it says "The dog's owner or his representative shall be allowed at all times to be near his dog and watch to see that no harm is done him," and "The handlers shall be allowed to encourage their dogs by voice or hand-clapping or snapping of fingers."

And, as owners who are there for their dogs, they certainly do not hesitate to pick them up if they are in danger. As John A. Koerner 'California Jack' says, "Assuming that you’re a concerned enthusiast, when your dog is getting overwhelmed, or even if he is winning but the win will cost him his life, his life depends on your judgment. The first step in exercising good judgment is to know when to pick up," and "...if the thought, 'I’d better pick him up,' pops into your mind, there is probably a reason, and that reason is you feel in your bones that he is in danger, and so you need TO ACT on that gut instinct."

Later, he says - in reference to dogmen who don't pick up their dogs at the right time - "instead of tolerating this type of person in our sport, what we should be doing is culling them from it. Therefore, don’t be a player like that, don’t deal with players like that, and make sure you yourself compete with class … and make sure you only deal with players who compete with class like that … and you will take a giant step in making our sport a better one all the way around, especially for our dogs."

If these dogs are well taken care of (see my previous post), have been selectively bred to WANT to fight, are picked up before death/major injuries and receive intense aftercare to prevent infection or worse... then why are people so afraid to accept it?

MMA Star Morgan Charriere Viral Shoutout For One Piece

One Piece itself is rampant with fist fighting action, with nearly all of Luffy's fights involving him stretching his limbs and hurling them at break neck speeds to attempt to take down his opponents. Though his powers have grown and changed throughout the years, that wouldn't stop Luffy from fighting right into a martial arts tournament were he to choose to jump into one similar to the MMA.

Eiichiro Oda's One Piece first began serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997. It has since been collected into over 80 volumes, and has been a critical and commercial success worldwide with many of the volumes breaking printing records in Japan. The manga has even set a Guinness World Record for the most copies published for the same comic book by a single author, and is the best-selling manga series worldwide with over 430 million copies sold. The series still ranked number one in manga sales in 2018, which surprised fans of major new entries.

Sometimes, you can forget just how long of a reach that One Piece has when it comes to influencing the world at large. The insanely popular anime franchise has managed to appear in a brand new arena, that of Mixed Martial Arts Fighting, or the MMA for short. While Luffy would be a ringer with his rubber abilities in the ring, one fighter, Morgan Charriere, has taken the opportunity to show off his love of the series by waving a Straw Hat Pirates' flag as he entered the ring in a recent match!

Reddit User BritishSkyPirate shared the image itself which clearly shows that if Morgan were a character appearing in the world of the Grand Line, he'd be sporting a straw hat of his own while fighting in an entirely new arena:

Morgan's record is definitely worthy of the Straw Hat Pirates as he's received 14 wins in his career, 8 losses, and 1 draw while fighting as an MMA brawler. The martial artist is so into One Piece in fact that he sports the nickname of "Luffy" throughout his time as a fighter. Morgan began his career with a big victory at 17, becoming a champion for Muy Thai within the French Federation. We're sure that the MMA fighter will have several more One Piece nods as he continues his career considering his love of the series.

What did you think of this subtle nod that brings together the world of One Pieceand MMA? Have you seen other anime easter eggs in Mixed Martial Arts' fights?

So About That Tuesday Night Contenders Series

Joey

June 26th

Watch any UFC event recently and you'll notice the constant pushing and dare I say shilling of Dana White's Tuesday Night Contenders Series. The UFC's attempt to push its own content on its own digital platform (a novel concept!) is slowly creeping towards its air date on July 11th. The concept is a simple enough one even if some aspects of it seem to be ever so slightly and ever so gingerly getting modified before the start. Five fights every week with the winners and losers competing for the opportunity to get into the UFC. It'll be held in front of Dana White and what I'm assuming are an audience of his friends and peers given how there is no live attendance. While the original concept suggested UFC fighters would get the opportunity to rebuild their careers, it seems like the UFC has walked that back somewhat given how not a single current UFC fighter is assigned to a spot on the show.

The concept is a fresh enough approach, essentially taking out Dana White's LFAF antics and bringing us what fight fans really want to see; less of Dana hanging with the BOOOOOOYZ and more of the prospects and overlooked guys with potential getting the opportunity to get a UFC gig. As of this point, much of the format is hidden although the general onus seems to be similar to Looking For A Fight's "Win impressively and depending on how the wind is blowing and the whims of one man are at that time, you might get a deal!" That's all fine and good I guess although leaving the future of athletes up to such a vague concept as an impressive win is always going to lead to some problems. At the very least, a lot of good regional talents are going to get the opportunity they all dream of chasing when they sign up for this wacky gig. The chance to fight in front of Dana White and his friends in Vegas for more than you've ever made up until that point with the allure of a potential UFC gig is all good for the sport I'd argue. Unfortunately quite a few questions remain on how this is all going to work out BUT before we get into that, I just want to poke around a bit on some numbers I've scrounged up.

30.5- The average age of the HWs confirmed for Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender's Series.

The age at light heavyweight and heavyweight will always be a somewhat touchy subject. As has probably been discussed time and time again, MMA's ability to chase elite athletes above 205 lbs is never going to be up there with the bigger sports even though it could/would stand to do a better job at attempting to recruit them. Outside of Stipe Miocic, the UFC's HW division in its current form is a collection of aging but well known guys from the Pride/2008 to 2011 era of the UFC and a small group of guys who rose from the ashes of a broken HW division to carve out niches for themselves. Now to their credit, the UFC HAS been aggressively signing new HWs but the division still lacks depth, prospects and the ability to let guys go on winning streaks before you violently feed them up to somebody at the top. The decision to focus on the HW division is a refreshing approaching and of the six HWs they've roped in thus far, they combine for an average age of about 31 years old (30.5 to be exact). That number is heavily skewed by the 35 year old Greg Rabello. Just for a comparison point, the top 6 in the division (Stipe plus the five contenders under him) come out at about a solid 34.5 years old. So here's my opinion on this one; sign all of them even if they lose. Turn the HW division into the undercard gamblers division and load up FP prelims with big doughy guys. You might luck into one!

10-20- Record for fights either in the UFC or against fighters who have been in the UFC

Yeah, this number isn't too pretty I suppose. Now granted there are guys like Daniel Spohn, Justin Jones and Daniel Jolly who really tip the scales here but as is often the case with TUF seasons, the prospects here haven't faired all too well when they've faced UFC quality competition. People CAN improve of course but going on pure raw data, it's looking rough to start.

0- Women's MMA fights confirmed thus far

This is a concerning number. It's not that I think the UFC is deliberately ignoring the women of mixed martial arts, I just don't know if they're out there to be had. Part of the problem with having an Invicta is that the WMMA community is so small that just about everybody winds up there at some point; most before they're ready. Tuesday Night Contenders becoming ANOTHER Invicta where ladies like Rachel Ostovich are fed to elite talents over and over is probably not good for anybody. What's more with TUF 25 being flyweights, you're not going to send them to Tuesday Night Contenders because you pretty much NEED all of them for that. And of course it's like flyweight or bantamweight TUFs, chances are if you're a good one they're just going to sign you so why bother? The UFC can't keep pilfering talents from Invicta without waiting for the stock to replenish and while a guy like TheAnticool would clearly know more as it pertains to whether it IS being replenished, there needs to be concern about how long it's taking. Ronda's ascension to the top of the MMA landscape was expected to jolt WMMA and in many ways it did---but it's 2017 and we're still waiting to see the fruits of that labor.

7- flyweights

Be it petty posturing or a genuine warning, Dana White coming out and admitting that the last three years have featured them considering the removal of flyweight has to be concerning for all MMA fans. The UFC removing flyweights from the equation would ultimately be a bad thing for MMA (a hell of a boon to 135 tho!) and would further blur the lines between sport of business and the business of sport. Even if you acknowledge that fighters can always make their money overseas, all of the US orgs (since Bellator has shown no interest in flyweights and I'm not even sure the new chain at WSOF know what flyweights are) abandoning the division would do serious damage to the growth of MMA. As such, it's refreshing to see Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series has thus far cornered the market on flyweights not in the organization.

4- Fighters coming off a loss

The idea of DWTCS was the best prospects vs the best prospects and old UFC guys trying to regroup and rebound after a series of losses. When names started getting announced and people started to complete the picture, there was some rankling about signing guys to compete who were coming off losses. That, at least so far, is overstated. Just four of the guys on the show are coming off of a loss.

So those are just some things I wanted to dig through and look over. Despite this, questions STILL remain. Such as....

1- How are they going to make money off of this?

Seriously. There's no TV rights deal (here or abroad) and there's no gate because the show is attended by Dana's friends and fam. One would assume that the UFC is paying for crapola even if the UFC owns the venue and etc etc. Right off the bat, you're talking about 50K going out (5K for 10 guys plus 25K on top for the winners). So how ya paying for this? Fight Pass subs?

2- Is it possible to LOSE and get into the UFC?

We see it all of the time. The "win and get in" style of UFC TUF Finale is bent slightly so that guys who put on an amazing fight and lose can still get a chance. Will the UFC keep with that mentality here? Given that so much of this is the whim of one man, is it win and get in only?

3- What will the outfits look like?

It'd be...awkward if Dana White's side league project featured fighters wearing sponsored swag. Is it going to be like 2013 where dudes had big sponsorship lapses and so they had guys wearing UFC trunks? I know that they're treating Dana White's Tuesday Night Contenders where it's like an alternate organization BUT if I'm a fighter and I make it into the UFC off the show, I want this fight to count for my UFC record.

4- Production? Any ideas?

Again with no real way to make money, what will the production look like? I hate to make the comp here but I don't think this product is going to succeed if it feels like a dark match/house show with no video packages, no commentary and no sizzle with their graphics. I'd really like to see what they do with the commentary spot. One thing I'd really like to see is different guys being given the opportunity to try their hand at live commentary. If they're bad, it's not going to be the end of the world and if they're good, as guys like Cruz proved to be, then you can start grooming your next crop of rotating commentators. I bet the UFC would LOVE a day where they can just sandblast the sports world with a show from Asia that starts at 8 on ESPN/FS1, a show from England that starts at 12 on ESPN 2/FS2 and then a big show at 8 PM that goes back onto the main network. To pull that shit off, you need developed competent commentators and MAYBE this can be an attempt to pull that off.

5- Where are the international guys at?

The current crop are 95% Americans with 5% delegated to some Europeans who live and operate within the US. I'd LOVE to see them move in some guys from Asia to get a chance. There's a lot of PXC guys who aren't good enough in theory for the UFC but could benefit from the opportunity to at least compete there.

6- Ringer Fights

Obviously any REALLY REALLY great prospects are getting UFC calls and not wasting their time on this. But let's say you do so decide to go to the UFC through Tuesday Night Contenders. Let's use Jose "Shorty" Torres for a sec, k? Would you take a Jose Torres and give him an obvious squash match set up so he looks super impressive to get the hype going? If so, can they handle the backlash if we see through it?

In the end, this is somewhere between a regional organization and a UFC lite. It's Dana White attempting to create a Looking For A Fight without having to look for it. It's a chance for prospects, veterans who live under the radar and potential organizational filler to get fights. For fighters on the regional circuit, it represents a substantial jump up in pay. There are just too many questions and concerns for this project to get out of the "cautiously optimistic" stage.

Donny Corven

Donny was a boy with wonder and stories of great fighters bouncing in his head when he met Paul. They were friends for quite a while until Paul found himself to be invulnerable or nearly so. They did some tests to see if they could find the limits of his tough skin but their imagination never quite got there. They filmed their experiments and posted a video that people kept tearing down.

One kid decided to make an issue of it and started hitting Donny. Donny was beginning to think how great it’d feel to pummel this kid in front of his friends. It’d be glorious to humiliate him and tear him to pieces and then destroy that video and all the copies he could find so that kid never had any more ammunition. Then Paul pushed him off of Donny and took the spotlight. He took the punches that kid threw and made him look weak.

Donny couldn’t get over how weird he felt for the next few hours after the fight. It stayed in his mind long after the thoughts left. He had never been the type to want to humiliate and destroy. Donny spent more time at his dad’s gym where the stories and good fighters were who fought and trained to build each other up and reach their potential. Dad had at least taught him to recognize and seek refuge in those stories.

“In the dark times, the stories will be what show you the light.” That’s what dad told him all the time.

Then, one day I got so mad at Donny for trying to fight the ringer from the neighborhood crime boss. I yelled at him for taking on a fight that he COULDN’T win but he didn’t get it. He thought I didn’t believe in him and set out to prove me wrong. I was so proud when he won that fight. The look on Smashin’ Jackson’s face when he got choked out. That carried me right through the beatin’ I got early the next morning at the gym. Poor Donny found me and blames himself to this day because I died in his arms. But through some miracle, he took me into his heart and now I can still guide him through the tough parts of life from the inside.

It took some getting used to, not being alone in my own head. There comes a time when each man has to improvise though. I was left with no stories to guide me through the changes I was experiencing but I had been born anew. I was now a remnant of Donny and Dad.

I took some years trying to keep the old gym afloat. There were a few mistakes where I accidentally made contact too long in a fight but overall I kept a low profile on my ability. Most of the fighters chalked up my coaching acumen as being a chip off the old block. I encouraged the idea with Dad’s refrain. “The stories are showing me the light.”

We fell on some hard times at the gym when the Incident happened in New York and we're going to have to close when a Colonel Stryker from the government showed up saying he worked for S.H.I.E.L.D and wanted me to keep an eye out for people with enhanced abilities in exchange for help revamping the gym. He’d seen the video I’d posted of my friend when we were kids. Figuring it’d be nice to have a legit job helping people like myself, we reopened as an MMA gym. He brought in a tech guy and revamped the entire place with new equipment and video that helped monitor your form so you could fight better. I knew the first person I hoped to recruit. I’d heard Paul was fighting on the streets and getting mixed up in the wrong crowd and I finally had the resources to help him! I tracked him down and only had to get into a few fights to actually get close to him and get him out.

He joined up pretty readily with S.H.I.E.L.D and actually underwent the training to become an agent. I was really happy seeing him make something on himself. He’d be a good asset in another fight if those aliens ever came back.

Then I heard that Captain America had fought back Hydra agents who had infiltrated every part of S.H.I.E.L.D. The world didn’t know who to trust anymore. Every story I had heard of the Avengers said they were people who could be trusted. I trust the people I work with and Colonel Stryker says we need to go underground. Luckily, part of the gym retrofit included expanding the basement to make room for the monitoring equipment. We expanded it a bit more to reach the abandoned subway tracks which we used to come and go when we weren’t supposed to be moving around. Colonel Stryker brought in people who could help but around that time, someone gave up our location.

We are out trying to recruit more help now but that base is burned and all we really have is our team. There’s me, Paul “the Shield”, Atticus “KnoxAtticus”, and Charles “Blackout”. We are going to need to rebuild the team. Especially now that I hear the RAFT where the worst of the worst superpowered criminals were kept. Colonel Stryker says we can’t trust anyone but I figure trust is earned and the best way to earn trust is to fight with someone and see who they are. At least that works if you can’t pull a memory here or there and learn who they are like I do. A little brush of the hand or clap on the neck and I can pull so much from a target in so little a time. The voices still get a bit confusing but I always hear Dad the strongest.

JULES’ TRAINING & DIET DIARY

POSITIONS OF FLEXION & FIGHT FUNCTIONAL PHASE WEEK 5 SEP 23 - 25

“I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”

C.G. Jung

WEDNESDAY SEP 26: Very restless night. In a lot of pain and in a very dark mood when I finally got up. Had a doctor’s appointment or I probably would have just stayed in bed. Not sure what brought on the depression if anything. The simple truth is that you don’t live the life I’ve lived and not deal with the ‘Black Dog’, as Teddy Roosevelt called his depression. Started using Kratom today. There’s been a lot of controversy around this plant. There’s even a full Netflix documentary dedicated to nothing but the question of Kratom. For those of you who don’t know it’s related to the coffee plant, but has many more alkaloids, some of which are said to help with pain, elevate mood and have a mild stimulant effect. It’s been used in places like Indonesia for centuries, but there are those, particularly in the U.S., where they want to classify it as a Schedule 1 drug, on par with heroin and opiates(As well as marijuana...?), who say that it is a dangerous and addictive drug. None of my research has shown this to be the case. And my pain and depression are often so debilitating that I feel that it’s worth the experiment to see if it makes any difference. We’ve actually had the dog on Kratom for a week or so now. He’s old and in a lot of pain some days. The Kratom definitely seemed to to help him at least want to get up and move around, so I figured it was worth trying on myself. Today was the first day. My pain didn’t disappear, but it did seem to lessen and my mood didn’t seem to be nearly as dark within about 40 minutes of having taken it. Whether or not that’s simply a placebo effect or not I can’t tell yet. Got a better night’s sleep. Less pain and less tossing and turning.

THURSDAY SEP 27: Second day on Kratom. Once again woke to pain and the Black Dog. Took Kratom right away. Dentist appointment. Still struggled socially, which, thanks to the Asperger’s, I always do when I’m tired or depressed. The Kratom did once again seem to alleviate some of the pain and darkness, which helped me at least function. Fell off the diet a little bit. Some starches. Stopped by 8 pm. Began Partial Fast. Walked Momo with cutting practice. TV to wind down.

FRIDAY SEP 28: Seemed like a decent sleep. Smudge. Partial Fast. Felt better than I did yesterday. Outdoor Bodyweight Plyometric Circuit- 2 Giant Sets Each of: Yard Sprint, Drop Catch Pull Ups x 20, Yard Sprint, with Rebounder Heels Up Hops x 100, Yard Sprints, Rebounder Plyo Sprawls x 50/ Side Crossover Yard Sprint, Plyo Pull Up Push Offs x 20, Side Crossover Yard Sprint, Rebounder High Knee Jumps x 50, with Rebounder Plyo Push Ups x 30/ Seated Series Yoga/ Dog Run to Townson Fitness with full Sprints, then walks. 1 Trainee. Strength and Power Circuit – 2 Giant Sets Each of: Back Squats x 10-12, with Full Gironda Wide Grip Chins to Failure with 3 Negative Only Reps, with Wide Gironda Dips to Failure with 3 Negative Only Reps, with Seated Calf Raises x 15 Each Leg/ Narrow Grip Chins to Failure with 3 Negative Only Reps at end, with Trap Bar Deadlift & Shrug x 15/ with with Gironda Neck Press x 10-12, 70 Degree Bent Over Rows x 15-20, with Barbell Cleans x 6-8/ Heavy Kettlebell Hip Swings x 15, Bar End Split Squat & 1 Arm Press x 12-15, with Bar End Bear Fighters x 12, with Lying Bear Fighters x 15, with Reverse Grip Bench Press x 6-8/1 Arm Trap Bar Famer’s Walks x 3 Laps Each Side, with 1 Arm Trap Bar Controlled Swing & Rotation x 6 Each Side, with Kettlebell Clean & Press x 12, Kettlebell High Pulls x 6-8/ Walk. Home. Ate. High Protein but not Carnivore Diet. Included Veggies and some fruit. (Just found that I’m struggling too much to stick to a strict Carnivore diet and I’m not seeing any improvements when I do. This may not be true for everyone out there. It still might be a valuable diet for some. But it’s too extreme a lifestyle change with not enough gain for me. That might also be because I didn’t stick to it strongly enough. I don’t know.) Stopped eating by by 8 pm. Did some writing and then some reading to wind the day down.

SATURDAY SEP 29: Partial Fast, beginning at 8 pm the night before. Started the day with a Smudge. Lying Series Yoga. Dog Run to Townson Fitness with full all out sprints. 2 Trainees. Outdoor Grappling Based Functional Power Circuit – 2 Giant Sets Each of: Field Sprints, with Kip Dismounts x 10, with Hanging Reverse Crunches x 12, Wrestling Shot to Sprawl x 20/ Downward Facing Rope Bell Ringers x 10 (Will post vids Showing this and other exercises on Fb & Instagram Pages), with Upward Facing Rope Bell Ringers x 10, with Kettlebell Discus Style Throws x 6 Each Side. with Medicine Ball Roll to Stand & Slam/ Rope Hanging Wide Leg Reverse Crunches x 10, with 1 Arm Band Downwards Pull Snap x 10 Each Arm, 1 Arm Band Downwards Push Snap x 10 Each Arm, with Medicine Reverse Crunches x 10/ Forward Motion Sprawl Rope Bell Ringers x 10, with 1 Arm Band Upwards Pull Snap x 10 Each Arm, with 1 Arm Band Upwards Push Snap, with Kettlebell Overhead Backwards Toss x 6 Each Arm. 1 more Trainee. Home. High Protein Meals to Break Fast. Stop by 8 pm. Tired and little out of it. Wrote and Read to wind down.

Did Twitter Identify Stormy Daniels' Threatening Thug?? See The Evidence!

Donald Trump may want you to believe the threat against Stormy Daniels is "fake news" -- but based on Michael Cohen's legal troubles over the past week, their credibility just keeps dropping.

Stormy and hot lawyer Michael Avenatti finally released the sketch of the man she claims threatened her back in 2012, and since then the Internet has been on the case!

(A $131,000 reward will do that! LOLz!)

Video: Colbert Grills James Comey About Trump, Hillary, & 'The Pee Pee Tape'

While most folks on Twitter were less serious -- yes, the sketch does look a bit like Trump's old golf buddy Tom Brady, but come on! -- some have really been looking.

One possible ID was shared in a somewhat convincing video:

.@StormyDaniels @MichaelAvenatti Might wanna investigate this guy... pic.twitter.com/EkVwNN8y1M — Vic Berger IV (@VicBergerIV) April 17, 2018

Hmm.

The hair doesn't really match up -- but people can get haircuts, so not an immediate dealbreaker.

So who is that guy standing with Trump anyway?

Another Twitter user ID'd him as Terence McDonald, who according to LinkedIn is the "Director of Security at Trump Properties Florida."

Probably worth ruling out ‘Director of Security at Trump Properties Florida’ Terrence McDonald @thebully7. Public Facebook profile suggests he is ex-military and tried a career as an MMA fighter. pic.twitter.com/7u1OcinfYo — Aled Lewis (@Aled) April 18, 2018

What’s more, he was in Las Vegas in October 2012 where he presumably worked ‘security’, putting him within the location and timescale of the @StormyDaniels threat. Perhaps he’s nothing to do with it, but worth eliminating. pic.twitter.com/F9xnEOvPbS — Aled Lewis (@Aled) April 18, 2018

He apparently still works for Trump. Here he is with the POTUS on Instagram in March:

Finally took wifey to meet the President. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 #President #Trump #AmericaA post shared by Terence McDonald (@terencedudebro) on Mar 3, 2018 at 8:54am PST

Not a dead ringer, but with different hair? We can see it!

Party with Sylvester Stallone #sylvesterstallone #rocky #boxing #movies #ripped #muscle #punch #party #italianstallionA post shared by Terence McDonald (@terencedudebro) on Jan 1, 2017 at 4:56pm PST

Probably not the guy -- but worth showing to Stormy at least!

Meanwhile POTUS retweeted a conspiracy theory early Wednesday morning that Stormy had just been describing her ex:

A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)! https://t.co/9Is7mHBFda — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 18, 2018

Oops! This is awkward! @StormyDaniels’s Ex 😳#IDTheThug pic.twitter.com/GgLSxm2EJZ — Deplorably🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scottish (@ShennaFoxMusic) April 18, 2018

Yeah, that one is way off. Look at that brow!

In any case, if she was making it up why would she describe a real person?

What do YOU think, Perezcious readers?

Darren Till Dominated Donald Cerrone

On Sunday night the Polish MMA promotion, KSW filled a stadium in Dublin for its biggest and perhaps looniest event to date ,complete with No Contest and World’s Strongest Man, Marius Pudzianowksi. On Saturday night the UFC joined in to make an unofficial Polish fight week by heading to the port city of Gdansk for a Fight Night card. The UFC’s card was largely lackluster, with the main card being entirely filled out by Polish fighters in showcase fights. The most egregious of which was the three round co-main event in whichtop ten ranked women’s straw-weight and one time title challenger, Karolina Kowalkiewicz took on UFC debutant Jodie Esquibel.

The UFC’s main card was hard to get through with each bout offering a meat-and-potatoes kickboxing match that looked as though it were lifted off a UFC card from ten years ago. Without fail each fight contained two fighters running in, pumping their hands alternately, with little subtlety. And then we were treated to an MMA first when Devin Clark swung, missed, and fell into a standing rear naked choke against Jan Blachowitz—a sequence that you won’t see outside of Steven Seagal movies.

But when Darren Till hit the ring, the whole evening suddenly seemed worthwhile. In under a round the scouse striker put Donald Cerrone through the ringer and stamped his ticket to the welterweight division’s top ten. The destruction of Cerrone was every bit as impressive as Jorge Masvidal’s earlier this year, but accomplished in a much different way.

From the outset, Cerrone began to look for his step up left low kick—something he uses extensively against southpaws. It pairs particularly nicely with the right high kick immediately afterwards and this is something his team-mate, Carlos Condit does quite a bit too. But Till immediately retracted his lead leg and as Cerrone’s naked power kick flew past, he found himself badly out of position. Till applied the pressure as Cerrone recovered his stance and suddenly they were on the fence. With Cerrone’s back foot to the fence and nowhere to retreat, the fight began to take its shape.

Along the fence, Till held his distance and showed feint after feint to draw reactions out of Cerrone. Cerrone telegraphed a couple of ducks at Till’s hips and suddenly Till was finding the uppercut.

We discussed Till’s extensive use of feints in our preview on Friday, and they showed up here playing a vital role. Till will pump his shoulder and then fire through a legitimate left straight, or flick his hips to force a reaction before trying to capitalize on it, or simply feint to keep his opponent on edge. Along the fence the loss of retreat drastically limits a fighter’s defensive options and feints play havoc with the trapped fighter’s composure and force him to show his hand. Within two minutes of this fight Cerrone was breathing through his mouth and the moments where he was allowed away from the fence for more than a few seconds were few and far between.

Cerrone’s loopy hands were largely absent in this fight—on the one occasion that he was flustered enough to try to punch his way off the fence Till almost caught him with that dangerous left hand from the open side.

When Cerrone attempted to kick off the fence, he was met with a left straight which quickly deterred him from trying again.

In dire straits, Cerrone went back to that step up left low kick. When Nate Diaz had walked Cerrone down in 2011, shooting left straights down the pipe, Cerrone had found out late in the second round that he could use the outside low kick to buy time. Of course, everyone in the fight game now knows that Nate Diaz will always be ultra-susceptible to low kicks because of his stance: they often knock his lead leg straight across him and force him to reset or even knock him off his feet.

Till, however, does not stand in a bladed stance, with his lead foot turned in and his hamstring presented to the opponent. Each time Cerrone tried to use the outside low kick to let off some pressure, it was caught and a left straight flew back up the centre as he was stood on one leg.

Another aspect of Till’s game that looked sharp throughout this fight was his jab. As a southpaw Till should have had to contend with Cerrone’s lead hand when jabbing, but through good handfighting, feints, and dropping his lead hand below Cerrone’s vision, Till could sneak through crisp jabs that drew flinches and overreactions from Cerrone in the later going, and raised his head for the left straight in combination.

The finish came with just forty seconds remaining in the first round, but the action had been entirely one sided from the outset. Cerrone was sent wobbling by a stiff left hand and Till closed for the finish, flurrying against a shelled up Cerrone. Those unfamiliar with Till before this bout might have looked at his record and noticed that in the UFC he had only achieved one stoppage in four bouts. Till’s fights haven’t been short on occasions when he has hurt his man, but similar to a young Lyoto Machida, he seems to struggle finishing the job. A close look at his finish against Cerrone will reveal that his rushed blows mostly connect on Cerrone’s shoulders or back, but it would be hard to argue that Cerrone was “intelligently defending” himself.

After the post-fight shenanigans that unfolded in the cage, fight fans are now buzzing for a match between Darren Till and ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry. Perry has been bamboozled by movement and long range kickboxing before, and often relies on simply leaping in on opponents who have never shown the same ability to manage distance that Till has. But with that being said, power is power and Till does like to fight with his chin up in the air. A more compelling tactical matchup for Till might be Stephen Thompson. Whether he wins or loses in his upcoming bout with Jorge Masvidal nobody wants to see Thompson versus fight Tyron Woodley a third time just yet. Till and Thompson share a lot of the same looks on the counter but have very different kicking games which could either make for a interesting clash of styles, or another staring contest.

Perhaps the next logical step for Darren Till in terms of testing what he’s really made of would be a match against a strong wrestler. It was alarming how easily Till shook off Cerrone’s takedown attempts, but Cerrone’s wrestling often benefits from the element of surprise as he is known almost entirely for his striking. It would be fascinating to see how Till can handle himself against some of the stronger pure wrestlers of the division. Whatever the case, Till is now in a position to take any number of compelling, big name matchups in the welterweight division and each brings its own promise of excitement.

Pick up Jack’s book, Notorious: The Life and Fights of Conor McGregor .

Till's fights haven't been short on occasions when he has hurt his man, but similar to a young Lyoto Machida, he seems to struggle finishing the job. A close look at his finish against Cerrone will reveal that his rushed blows mostly connect on Cerrone's shoulders or back, but it would be hard to argue that Cerrone was "intelligently defending" himself.

After the post-fight shenanigans that unfolded in the cage, fight fans are now buzzing for a match between Darren Till and 'Platinum' Mike Perry. Perry has been bamboozled by movement and long range kickboxing before, and often relies on simply leaping in on opponents who have never shown the same ability to manage distance that Till has. But with that being said, power is power and Till does like to fight with his chin up in the air. A more compelling tactical matchup for Till might be Stephen Thompson. Whether he wins or loses in his upcoming bout with Jorge Masvidal nobody wants to see Thompson versus fight Tyron Woodley a third time just yet. Till and Thompson share a lot of the same looks on the counter but have very different kicking games which could either make for a interesting clash of styles, or another staring contest.

Perhaps the next logical step for Darren Till in terms of testing what he's really made of would be a match against a strong wrestler. It was alarming how easily Till shook off Cerrone's takedown attempts, but Cerrone's wrestling often benefits from the element of surprise as he is known almost entirely for his striking. It would be fascinating to see how Till can handle himself against some of the stronger pure wrestlers of the division. Whatever the case, Till is now in a position to take any number of compelling, big name matchups in the welterweight division and each brings its own promise of excitement.

12 must-read stories on the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight

Floyd Mayweather is fighting Conor McGregor so we can talk about it. Born out of that comes every other reason that the two fighters — a 49-0 boxer known as one of the greatest ever, and a MMA fighter whose grandiose facade may come crashing down over 12 rounds — are inflicting bodily harm upon each other, for sport, in front of an audience of millions, on Saturday. Without us talking about it, there would be no fight. They don’t care about this unless we did first.

Talk about it we have, in bars and on radio shows and to friends and with strangers. There’s so much to talk about! The actual substance of the fight and whether there’s actually anything to it. The morality of these two objectively bad people. The reasons why they’re fighting. Why we should or should not care. Where they came from. We’ve even talked about the people talking about them, and why they did or didn’t talk about them in the right way, and how the act of talking about them is bad, or maybe it’s fine.

Saturday night, we can finally stop talking them. They’ll fight, one will win, and we’ll move on. Until then, with so many people talking about it, you should consume the very best of it.

We curated 12 rounds of stories — boxing term! — and tacked a few equally worthy ones to the end. If you read anything between now and Saturday night, and you haven’t read any of these, allow this to be your one-stop Mayweather vs. McGregor guide.

1st round: Mayweather-McGregor and the death spiral of American sports

(Spencer Hall | SB Nation)

Boxing is American sports’ prized zombie. When it shows up, everyone freaks the hell out and pays attention. It’s horrifying, arresting, contagious, and probably a bad thing for anyone concerned with human life. Hang out around it too much, and it will eventually eat you. Boxing, as a major sport, isn’t exactly alive—but it’s certainly not dead, and when there’s an outbreak people can’t pay attention to anything else.

It’s also one of those sports that can easily break quarantine as a discipline. They can crash all the way over into something else entirely. That something ends up being less like a sport, and more like pure, horrific, and inevitably absurd spectacle.

2nd round: Mayweather vs. McGregor: The complete beef history timeline

(James Dator | SB Nation)

This is where things get silly.

Both Mayweather and McGregor post fake flyers for the fight, which puts gas on the fire. From here the two jab back-and-forth over the possibility of the fight, with the impasse routinely being how much money they would both be paid.

McGregor kept contending that he deserved more money than the fight as offering, while Mayweather poked fun at Conor’s net worth — saying he didn’t deserve being paid more than $2.5 million.

3rd round: You Don't Have To Pick A Side Between Floyd Mayweather And Conor McGregor

(Diana Moskovitz | Deadspin)

And so even though Floyd Mayweather Jr. sucks, and even though he has signed up to spar against horrible people for the two most recent fights of his anyone cares about—Manny Pacquiao, then Conor McGregor—the urge remains. One of them has to be good, right? Or at least less bad? Someone has to be worth rooting for?

No. Not even close. In this case, like before, they both suck.

4th round: Floyd Mayweather's fight-week prep? Hanging at his strip club until the wee hours

(Dan Wetzel | Yahoo Sports)

Some would wonder if hanging out in a gentlemen’s club into the wee hours of the morning is the best way to prepare for a fast approaching fight, but Mayweather laughs that off. He is, as a matter of point, 49-0 in his career heading into Saturday’s bout with Conor McGregor.

There is no one else on earth who knows more about not just what it takes to win, but to never lose.

“Nobody can beat me,” Mayweather says over the din of the club. “Nobody can beat me.”

5th round: True stories of the incredible, unbelievable, unstoppable Conor McGregor!

(Flinder Boyd | Bleacher Report)

Once, before he had a driver's license, (McGregor) persuaded Egan to let him take the wheel of Egan's parents' car. He drove in perfect circles around an industrial park. He flashed his blinker at the optimal time and turned with precision. As long as he was in motion, he was in control. When it came time to park, McGregor hit the gas and made a beeline toward the spot. The car crashed into the wall and smoke billowed into the sky. He had forgotten to hit the brakes.

6th round: Why Floyd Mayweather can still box after beating women

(Soraya Nadia McDonald and Lonnae O’Neal | The Undefeated)

Why does Mayweather remain such a compelling figure despite his repeated and documented instances of domestic abuse? Let us count the ways: There are no publicly available photos showing the evidence of his crimes; there’s no central organization to hold Mayweather and other abusive boxers to account; and there’s an understanding, however contentious, that some boxers are inherently violent, their rage uncontrollable. Furthermore, there’s a long-standing pattern of victims, especially black women, holding their tongues to protect the black men who hit them.

All of those factors leave some fans torn, some indifferent and some completely disgusted. Despite the moral split decision, many boxing fans remain reliable spectators who continue to reward Mayweather with cultural cachet, fame and money, money, money.

7th round: Conor McGregor is still shaped by his Dublin roots as he prepares for his fight against Floyd Mayweather

(Wright Thompson | ESPN The Magazine)

McGregor hit the throttle and roared down the street. Drug dealers scrambled to whatever safety they could find as he sped through the intersection. A wise move in practice for a Crumlin native, but McGregor had underestimated the mania sweeping the projects and the lower-class quarters of Dublin. The dealers didn't want to confront him.

They all had a phone in their hands.

They wanted to take his picture.

8th round: Ballad of an Irish Son

(Shaun Al-Shatti | MMA Fighting)

Owen Roddy shakes his head. This feels like a dream, he says, like none of this is real. He may be the superstar’s striking coach now — or rather, his boxing coach; these are strange times — but that was never the plan. Because when he started, none of this was possible in Ireland. The dream didn’t exist. Mixed martial arts in the country was fiction and the notion of an Irishman vying for the world’s respect was ludicrous. The Irish hadn’t won a single fight in the UFC, much less achieved any measure of genuine success.

But Roddy was the one. He was always the one. He was the one who was going to break through.

9th round: Conor McGregor Is Not A Pioneer

(Oliver Roeder and Brin-Jonathan Butler | FiveThirtyEight)

McGregor isn’t the first superstar to move from the octagon to the boxing ring. One of MMA’s greatest fighters, Anderson “The Spider” Silva, tried the same thing back in 1998. He faced the not-exactly-household-name Osmar “Animal” Luiz Teixeira and after all of six minutes, Teixeira’s pugilistic skills proved too much for fellow Brazilian Silva. To protect him, Silva’s corner threw in the towel in the second round. Silva’s unparalleled genius in the octagon translated into his losing to someone even charitably described as a journeyman boxer; if this is any litmus test of what to expect from McGregor squaring off against Mayweather — one of boxing’s all-time greatest fighters— the current +400 money line somehow doesn’t reflect it.

10th round: Mayweather-McGregor Is the Feel-Bad Fight of the Century

(Bryan Curtis | The Ringer)

Mayweather-McGregor is often compared to Muhammad Ali’s bout with Japanese pro wrestler Antonio Inoki. In terms of horrible watchability, a better analogue is the 1982 title bout between Larry Holmes and Gerry Cooney, which was peddled in the crudest racial terms imaginable. Time magazine paired Cooney and Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky on the cover as boxing’s great white hopes; Cooney spoke of his fondness for the movie Death Wish, in which a white vigilante rubs out the black bad guys. When Holmes, who was the reigning heavyweight champ, complained he was getting the same purse as the challenger, he was called a racist.

Mayweather-McGregor hasn’t yet scraped bottom in quite the same way. But the months of hype have felt equally dismal. George Vecsey’s 1982 column about Holmes-Cooney could run this week with only minor edits. The column was titled “Get It Over With.”

11th round: The Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight is about the green, but also about black and white

(Khaled A. Beydoun | The Undefeated)

With no great white American hope in the ring, and no promising contender on the horizon, boxing is still without what it needs to capture the attention of the coveted white male fan base. McGregor, far more the mixed martial artist than boxer, offers what the sport has long fantasized about: a brash, charismatic showman outside of the ring who not only talks a good game, but delivers by way of victories and the brutal knockouts fans crave. Especially the legions of white male fans who have come to adore him and flock to the UFC en masse to see his fights.

12th round: Conor McGregor's 'movement' training is just another part of the circus

(Spencer Hall | SB Nation)

Maybe most importantly, the advantage McGregor has in using movement training in MMA fights is a psychological one — both for his own psyche and to use against his opponent. Fighters all train, but not all of them have a good handle on tuning their psychological wiring to the exact right frequency before a fight. Some rely on superstition, some rely on habit and routine, but all of them — at least those who aren’t complete head cases in the ring — have something they lean on to tolerate the absurd pressure of what is an inherently absurd situation.
