I guess Jacare will get his shot after Larkin then.

Interesting news about McMann. I've been wondering when that was going to happen.

McMann gets stomped by Rousey if they fight. Sara is literally just a wrestler right now. A modern day Mark Coleman type fighter, which goes back to what we talked about in the Rousey/Tate thread about womens MMA being in the dark ages right now. Womens MMA today is like MMA in America circa 1995.

I agree that McMann will get fucked up in that fight. But I wouldn't say Women's MMA is like MMA circa 1995. I'd at least put it around the year 2000.

Claims in the press release may be a little hyperbolic, but I do think this is interesting.

Yeah, it's pretty funny how mapmakers would just make shit up when they had no clue.

I had never even heard that the idea of California as an island was even a thing.

I remember reading at least 5 years ago about that, and there were some NFL teams that already had them on the sidelines. Pretty sure a commercial version has been available for a decade.

Scientists have been saying some day it will be for a long time now.

I'm talking about in the past, not the future.
