Looks like the JT and Mofo MMA Thread needs a part 2
not really. well, maybe a little. but not really too much. i haven't watched the actual video clip yet cos i've had important video game playing to do. i was bummed out that the fight with wanderlei wasn't happening, but the fact that cole miller won't be knocking mcgreggor down a few pegs in his home country is more of a bummer than chael retiring. oh well. i wasn't too psyched about the vitor fight, to be honest.
edit: yeah, silva shoutout was cool. i still don't really buy any of his "the rules confused me, i didn't understand them cos they keep changing them on me" excuses. it's not really much more convincing than "oh, i didn't realize it was a drug test cos all of a sudden i don't speak english." if anything, i'm not surprised at all. there were enough hints yesterday. it's a smart move, made by someone who isn't stupid and knows full well how to play politics. i'd be more surprised if somewhere in that giant head, he doesn't knows that even though it's almost the exact same line of reasoning wanderlei used to explain why he ran away from his own test (minus the part about languages). played off this way, on the surface, it still looks better. retiring with as close to an admission of guilt as the public is probably ever going to get on any subject from this guy, is always going to be viewed in a more positive light than a subtitled selfie video with corny metal music in the background.
