The Most Literal Examples of Foreshadowing In MMA history

[@Thugatron_]

The Tito entry man. Everyone says they care about mental health until it's real, then it becomes "let's laugh at the clown."

[@kyledabearsfan]

Yeah, its a fine line. Because I think its important to laugh at everything, life is harsh. But, at the same time. its.... tragic and I wish people gave it a little more respect.

[@capncrunch6209]

It reminds me of Antonio Brown in the NFL. He took a crazy hit to the head from a Bengals defender I think and was never the same. You watch interviews from the start of his career and he's such a completely different person from today its scary.

[@jennyjung6177]

Yup. Same with Nam Phan. That one is really heartbreaking given how extreme it is.

[@richardthehooman3376]

​@capncrunch6209 yeah he even had an interview and one of the questions was what was the greatest moment of your career and he said he doesn't remember anything

[@thiessmonkey]

Tito isn’t slurring or stuttering like Nam though. Tito faced substance abuse issues, particularly with pain killers and alcohol. I’d wager his decline in intelligence had more to do with that than MMA, although both contributed

[@GrahamLarge]

The Tito entry resonated with me because I watched TUF 3 again last week. He was so articulate and intelligent when training his guys. I think his bell has been rung too many times.

In Titos defense: even gamers have a hard time to determine what an rpg really is.

[@MMAOnPoint]

Haha I think he might have just thought RPG meant playing in a "role" which all those games do. It was early 3D days too haha, so maybe the concepts were a little newer for some gamers. But in terms of genre, it is funny to mix up horror with RPGs or a game with "Tactical Espionage" as part of the title.

[@kapiteinbadmuts5043]

@@MMAOnPoint Hahaha exactly! And I have seen page-long discussions on the Steam forums of exactly that; people who argue that any game in which you assume a 'role' is an rpg. They'd argue that even Mario 'TeChNiCaLlY' is an RPG. Maybe it was Tito with his alt-account ;)

[@DalazG]

I dont know about whether Dana genuinely cared about pricing out fans. He tends to flip flop to his benefit and seems to genuinely believe it

[@FuntClaps101]

He never gave a fuck. He pandered to his hardcore audience and just had to keep his business at the level of growth/popularity it was before it became super mainstream. Once that happens an enterprise becomes virtually untouchable and can do what they want . Just like they are doing now.

[@procow2274]

Pretty sure hendricks avoided failing a test by stopping cold turkey when usada came around. Im also pretty sure he was doing his wrap in a way that was against the rules for extra punching power. He went from people calling him potentially the biggest puncher in welterweight to never knocking anyone out ever again. Even during his prime title era before usada. He basically admitted as much when he said the commission wouldn't let him wrap his hands the way he usually does it which by default means he was doing something illegal.

Hendricks was 100% on steroids. He never KO'd anyone and all of sudden he is knocking people out cold. Then he has trouble cutting weight which is a side effect of steroids.

[@youhaveayds8975]

He's clearly always had a problem cutting weight, he's always needed the IV to rehydrate, which means it wouldnt matter how much how bad the cut actually was if he could always just IV back to perfect health

[@youhaveayds8975]

And not koing anyone and then koing a fuck ton of people is kinda in like with most wrestlers that get into MMA, kamaru is a great example although also accused of steroids

On Twitter Bas posted a clip or photo from the show of the two of them, and Ranallo looked exactly like Leonard from the Big Bang Theory (i know who Sheldon and Leonard are, the show was really big back then). I jokingly posted "Why is Leonard from the Big Bang Theory hosting Inside MMA with Bas?" Bas thought it was hilarious and retweeted it. Mauro blocked me. That pettiness made me dislike Mauro (who I wasn’t even following) to this day. But Bas is the hilarious guy with a good sense of humor everyone thinks he is (he’s not fake).

[@CYMotorsport]

12:15 he said he’d never price out the fans … he never said “regular fans”. You inserted that purposefully bc you also realize he’s referring to products like boxing after dark and showtime going under due to a lack of financial viability. They priced out fans. If Dana can raise prices and still be profitable , that’s not pricing out fans. That’s shifting your product to a fan with access to a higher purchasing power. They are still fans. Formula 1 has done this over the past 3 years successfully too. But you’re right they aren’t regular. But again he never said regular.

[@eddieprieto6511]

That's why most people stream the fights instead of paying almost 100 dollars for a fight card that could end up boring as hell.

[@MMAOnPoint]

His criticism was that boxing, who was selling out arenas, was pricing out fans. If the idea was some fans can afford it while the majority of fans can't, that just doesn't make sense.

[@JD_13]

15:57 I wish you and others would talk more about how admirable Askren was for turning that Lawler fight around, from certain loss to almost squeezing an absolute killer's head off. Thats not a disaster, thats amazing! He had pretty much the worst start possible and made an unbelievable comeback, showed insane toughness, absorbed a lot of damage and yet stayed in the fight, and with his old man strength wrestler arms there was no way he was letting go of that bulldog headlock. I love Robbie, but he was limp/out for a second, and he was not going to escape that. Askren wasn't going to release him for funsies.
