I just love watching her fights and her demeanour out of the cage.
She’s not a monster like Amanda was, but she gives me the same appreciation for skills.
I just like it when humble fighters win. Like GSP or Mighty Mouse.
ONLY TALKING ABOUT IN CAGE SKILL. NOT talking about impact, popularity, or anything outside of the cage.
Sure the Jose Aldo knock out was a SEMINAL moment in the sport. But what Toporia is doing dismantling the decisions is extraordinary.
His only potential challenger in my opinion would be to go after Islam. And that is only because Islam is WAAAY bigger and stronger. If they were the same size, I still give it to Toporia. Besides the point.
I also appreciate Ilia’s decorum in the cage. No fouls, eye pokes or dirty stuff. Just low heart rate collected focus and performance.
I just hope he is recognised by us old guard fans as being as special as he is.
This means a lot to me and I am very grateful.
I’m leaving this intentionally open ended because I’m curious about how people will interpret it.
For me personally, I have hard time evaluating this for myself.
Hey there, I’m 40 and on medical leave for a brain thing. Dr orders = stay active. Welp I’ve fallen in love with volleyball and am playing with teenagers at the beach everyday.
Problem is, I’m fat and out of shape. My muscles are on the edge of pulling constantly. And I’m getting good. Like surprisingly, picked over the six pack guy, good.
But my muscles haven’t been pushed like this since high school football.
So, any advice? Diet, stretches, anything that lets me play without injuring myself.
I have been on legitimate sick leave for over a year in the UK. I am not yet fit for work as the reason I’m on sick leave is a “momento/dori” situation where my short term memory is severely impaired. Luckily it’s getting better but because work stress was the cause I am very hesitant to say I’m ready for work because I do not want to regress.
My company doesn’t seem to be eager to get me back and my boss 100% has my back, so I’m in the dilemma: do I remind my company they are still paying me by giving them an update on my progress, because I have improved significantly. Or do I keep my mouth shut and let them keep paying me full salary until they realize their mistake or I’m ready to return in full?
I’ve started in an indoor inter-mural league, and we just got a really nice sand court down the street, and I don’t know a lot about the rules or culture. I’m still confused about the scoring works. Does the beach have different rules? I play mostly six on six but do the rules change for two on two? I have the basics but I still don’t understand the scoring. I also play beach and the amount of players is very weather dependent.
Diagrams would be especially helpful as I won’t have to pause a video.
Thank you.
Come down to Houghton Beach around 1PM. I'll be there with a ball.
