I donno guys, size means a lot in a street fight. I don’t know much about mma style fighting.
@DAPUNISHER you are an expert in this field what do you think?

Do you have video of Musk sparring or training? I can't break his skillset down if I haven't seen it. From what little I have paid attention, he is already making excuses. Which is the best evidence that he knows he will get handled.

I have seen Zuck win his division in a BJJ competition. That's important. Because how every place I have trained BJJ works: Warm ups, coach shows us a technique, we drill it. Coach shows us another, we drill it. Then we roll for the rest of class; 5 minute rounds. Doesn't matter if it's Gi or no Gi class, always the same format everywhere I've been.

As Zuck is competing, it shows he trains consistently. That means his conditioning is good. Unless I see something impressive from Elon on the feet, it gives Mark a big edge. Since getting the fight to the ground won't be hard otherwise.

BTW size doesn't mean shit if you aren't anywhere near the same skill levels. Bigger guy will either get gassed and smashed. Or give up their back, and then it's over. Because you don't roll by weight in BJJ class. You roll with everyone and anyone. Arm drag to back is money against big dudes that are low or no skill.

Story time: A couple of the places I trained were in fitness centers. So sometimes bodybuilder meatheads would show up for open mat. Ego bigger than their arms. Convinced that 150lbs thin guy that offers to roll with them is about to get Hulk smashed. They'd go HAM for a minute or 2 while our guy would just defend and make them work. They'd gas out, then our guy would tap them repeatedly. Or play with them while they gasp like a fish. You never see them on the mats again.

Conclusion: Mark is pressure testing his skills all the time. Elon is paying GSP for privates. Not remotely the same thing. So unless I see something from Elon to change my mind, he is getting merked.

Shit, when you look like you done swallowed up someone else's rib cage, no one is surprised you got a bunch of your other bones rubbing up against it.

That is the weirdest thing I've seen in awhile. Seriously. You'd think there'd be room for a heart in there but maybe it's all just really yeasty dough. Even his ass is weird to compensate for that frikkin' rib cage thing.

Thanks, a professional opinion is needed here. You’ve done that
 
The whole thing is fucking stupid and most likely won't happen and not something I would watch or pay for. These ongoing efforts make Jeff Bezos look like the sane one.

Incidentally ... Musk claims to have spent 3 hours in an MRI machine - You know, a completely normal and reasonable amount of time to be exposed to high power magnets and 120 decibels of background noise - before discovering an unknown medical condition that’s unfortunately going to force him to put off that fight he was totally serious about having until the molly wore off.

Hey....That insanely healthy Trump should step in. Any doctor who would have been recommended by Trump would say he’s healthy enough to fight for multiple titles in several different forms of combat, against a grizzly bear if necessary.

Yeah, Idk why people idolize him or other *real* "snowflakes" these days. Him, Trump, that bald "alpha" guy who got arrested for human trafficking, the whole lot of them have such obviously fragile egos who are constantly writing checks their ass can't cash in. Then, when someone with real superiority over them calls them out, they backpedal or make unending excuses like a bitch.
 
Social media was a massive mistake. Or maybe it’s just people in general, we’re just seeing the idiocy under the SM magnifying lens.

While Tate is a massive piece of shit that needs to die in prison, I don't know why you included him in the above. He has a well documented pro kickboxing career. I also wouldn't call anyone a "a snowflake that writes checks their ass can't cash", that has stepped through the ring ropes for a sanctioned fight. I've done it multiple times, and it's always scary as hell. Every time. Whatever else the guy is, he is a real fighter, and that's not something you can wish away because of what a horrible person he is.
 
I wish these billionaire babies would put on their cage match and have nobody watch or sign up for it (you know it would be pay-per-view, going into their pockets).

I sure as hell won't watch. It's even more ridiculous than modern "debates" and that's saying something.

But you know the brain-dead public will be all for it. Have to have their cake while they blithely ignore who is really behind their shrinking worth.

I would gladly pay money to watch it if the only possible outcome was their mutual demise. Both are ultimately toxic for our country.
