^ That does explain why my UK streams tend to go wonky a couple hours in. The streamer's exhausted from being up all night.

Yup, you'll see the ESPN bug in the corner.

And listen, I love me some English streamers as well, they keep me going.

I also have some privates that I became privy to in the last while, and you need to be invited,
but they only let so many in and they limit the amount of viewers.
(And he is a dude from Lancashire, I think.)

On that note, has anyone ever bought the $49.99 stream from UFC.com?

I went in on it once and I found the quality no better than a stream and just as unreliable.

Thanks, man. I was considering running it into my TV or something, but you are not the first person to say it was less than spectacular.

You'd think they'd have a stellar, crisp, HD feed with tons of extra features and other things,
but anyone who has ever watched a UFC presser and has seen the troglodytes who set up the mics and do the sounds for them, I suppose it should not be surprising.

I literally could do a better job by myself, with a tiny mixing board and a few mikes, than the "pros" they pay to do them. I feel that way.

I would never have made this thread if I would have known it would be dominated by CANADIA

When we're not clubbing seals for nourishment, we're inundating message boards with Canadian junk.

You dudes know I'm not a huge Rampage fan, but these are always interesting. Check out 27-28 minutes in, seems like Rampage implies Bisping is doing steroids. Saying he shouldn't talk about trt users because people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, then cryptically says there are worse things that testosterone when Ariel asks if Bisping does trt.

Its funny how Rampage was like "no f*cking kids around, I got 4 kids" literally while there is a kid on the screen about 6 feet away from him.

Gold Chain · Post #493 » by **Gold Chain** » Fri Oct 5, 2012 3:16 pm

Favourite part is when he gives the kid on the subway the death stare.

I don't care who you are, Page focusing all his attention on you, eye-to-eye, would be terrifying.

And yeah, "F'k Santa", is the best thing I've heard in a long while.

It's pretty good. Not enough playful Rampage, though.

The Bisping thing is interesting. Worse than TRT??? Like, HGH? Or genetic stuff? I don't know...I can't think of much.

I can remember an interview with Bisping where he says he doesn't take anything but a little glutamine...no creatine, no NO2 boosters, just glutamine.

REDDzone · Post #495 » by **REDDzone** » Fri Oct 5, 2012 3:32 pm

I won't lie if you had asked me before yesterday who were the fighters in the sport who I would never suspect of trt, Bisping's name would probably fall at number 2 right behind Roy Nelson at number one, just because he's been so vocal "I've nevah done iteen mah life, evah". IDK now though, nobody would really surprise me anymore.

Ariel's such a cool, chill guy. His job is actually really complex, walking a lot of lines...

I don't want to sound like a racist myself but it was amazing to see a black dude interact with that much Jewry and not saying anything racist. The passive-aggressive racism...references to money or lawyers or whatever. Because he's from the South not some NE urban locale? I don't actually know any blacks personally, for the record, but do listen to a lot of crude rap and ride public transit and follow Jesse Jackson...that's my impression.

What I found interesting was that in the second store straight away they brought out the biggest/gaudiest/flashiest bracelet possible. If it was Brian Stann or someone who had walked in there I guarantee they would've picked out something more subtle.
