TF is clearly paranoid and manic. But those can be symptoms of any number of disorders...or just temporary.

Yes there are observed anatomical differences in people with schizophrenia. IIRC the most common is enlarged ventricles (basically they have larger cavities in their brain than someone without schizophrenia). When I say chemical imbalance, I mean that literally - as in their brain chemistry is abnormal. They have abnormal levels of dopamine or serotonin or whatever other neurotransmitter can be associated with the disorder. I'm not sure if chemical imbalance means something very specific that I'm just not aware of which is what you guys are objecting to but I'm pretty confident in the 'abnormal levels of various neurotransmitters' thing.

I only post on this board for the most part but to this day I LOLZ at "Tony Ferguson is the type of guy who gives his corner advice between rounds."

Every now and then, Conor posts something that makes me think he's actually a decent human being

Not taking anything away from Conor's nice gesture, but him and Tony have the same management team. I wouldn't be surprised if they have crossed paths before and are friendly and any heat is just for show.

Conor giving a family-friendly pep talk with a bunch of exclamation marks comes across as very unnatural and forced.

Ray Longo thinks the UFC shot themselves in the foot for pushing Darren Till too soon.

Is he right or just bitter?

So WW is completely open and pretty much not a single top 10 fighter is booked.

Who fights who??

Usman
Colby
Woodly
Askren
Lawler
Till
Masdival
RDA
Edwards
Wonderboy

I’m going with:

Usman vs Colby - I thibk this is the most obvious one.

Masdival vs Edwards - pretty much has to happen due to the assault.

Askren vs Till

Woodly vs Lawler

RDA vs Wonderboy

You cant give Till to Askren now, that would literally end his UFC career. Give him 2,3 easy fights, try to build back up anything thats still left. If he loses to Askren now he can just retire..

RDA vs Askren is the obvious one now.

For Askren IMO.

How is this board not talking more about Showtime vs. Wonderboy? I know most of us are pulling for Pettis, but what chance does he realistically have of winning? 15%?

Post #654 » by **lilfishi22** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:57 pm

Had no idea it was even on

Post #655 » by **Headliner** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 9:20 am

When is that fight? I had no idea it was made

UFC marketing at its finest

REDDzone · Post #656 » by **REDDzone** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 1:15 pm

I see no avenue for Pettis here.

Wow
RDA vs LEE in May, there goes one opponent for Askren.
That’s a huge shift for the 170 pound division he was ranked 4th

Guess he wants that Connor ticket
I’m shocked more guys aren’t trying tbh
If there’s a chance you can make 155 you need to do it
Getting Connor is a career pay in one fight

Oh wow!
Ok, that’s pretty interesting. I think RDA will stomp him at 170 but let’s see!

Anthony Pettis on whether or not he will ever fight Ben Askren:

"I'll save myself the embarrassment."

:lol:
