What is open scoring?

As for an all female card, meh. Not going to be a popular opinion I'm sure BUT...I'm not a big fan of female MMA. Mainly because I find it to be boring. I love BJJ but even then I'm not in love with female grapplers. Of course I think Amanda Nunes is pretty damn awesome but outside of her not many others.

How were the fights?

Question for NFL fans -

Does Watson get traded? And if so to whom? Miami keeps getting mentioned but I hope that doesn't happen.

I thought they pretty much sucked, Some of the Invicta stuff is good, more jiu jitsu than standup in a lot of cases...

Open scoring is when you see the judges scoring for each round immediately following the round.

With new top fighters in every division now, seems McNuggets will get his ass handed to him whichever direction he decides to go.

Gotcha. Not sure how I feel about the open scoring. Fighters pretty much know if they won the round or not. What I'd like to see are judges that know WTF they are looking at and that have some sort of fighting training.

Yup the fighters know if they won or not... But what the judges are scoring can be a totally different, with the open scoring we as well as the fighters know what they are scoring. I really like it.

Yeah need judges with experience in the game for sure, stand up isn't so bad that's pretty evident, but the ground game you really need to know your sh!t to be fair with that.

Yes he has to be, he is waay too toxic in Houston and the team needs a fresh arm with no baggage.

Ok, so may be way off but predicting Jake Paul will knock Tyron Woodley the fk out. I never seen good movement from Tyron and even though ppl say he is a decent boxer I've not seen any of that anywhere - just an explosive punch to a face that was dumb enough to present itself.

Sound logic. Franky, I dont care who wins as long as its a awesome KO. A double KO would surely almost realign the planet.

Whether JP gets KO'd tonight or down the road by another hand-picked opponent, makes no difference to me. It's inevitable.

Almost showtime.

Lol, Dave Chappelle is there in the crowd. Who would you challenge, Chaz? Flex for the Canadian misc title?

I'd pay for that.

**steffo99** · 08-29-2021, 08:31 PM

Good show so far even though it's mostly music.

Frankly, I'm disappointed to hear DC is in the house. I thought he was better than the rest of us Cretans.

As for me, my fighting days are well and truly behind me. As are vert skateboarding and dirtbike jumping. My plan going forward is to relax more, be in the moment and flow.

and besides, a bout b'twix me and Flux wouldn't be fair.

How boot u, who would you challenge here?

Let me think on it a bit. Tyrons mom was in there screaming. Shout out to all the moms!

If it helps, I can pick someone for u.

and Tyron's mom is at all his fights and often animated. How can a person not have massive confidence with your mom cheering you on.

Probably BH for all or nothing then. Noone would expect me to win so have nothing to lose except a few brain cells..

**steffo99** · 08-29-2021, 09:00 PM

Lol I like it, more exciting than a lot of regular fights.

**steffo99** · 08-29-2021, 09:06 PM

This also makes me appreciate how good Usman's jab and strikes are at this point.

Yeah it showed he won't stay up against anyone decent...still fun to watch though.

**steffo99** · 08-29-2021, 09:24 PM

C'mon man, Tyron trying to force a new paycheck...that just looks sad.

**AlBHappy** · 08-30-2021, 04:57 AM

A whole generation of New York children have grown up without the Yankees in the World Series. The NY on their cap stands for Next Year.

My Red Sox had a chance to sweep the Future Cleveland Guardians, but Cora has burnt out the bullpen so they had to go with AAA stiffs. Gave a game away. Looking like a wild card in the Bronx in October.

Patriots HAVE to start Mac Jones and let him take his lumps. They look like a 12-5 squad on the defensive side of the ball.

Celtics are so far away from banner 18 it's ridiculous. I hate Jayson Tatem. Hero ball extraordinaire, more worried about his NBA 2k rating than making his teammates better.

Bruins are a good team. Need a better goalie and scoring punch.

I am sensing a Boston theme above^^^^

12 years is a long time. If you were 7 in 2009, you're now 19. C'mon, I only said 1!!!

My father said the Yankees ruined his childhood.
