he has a family and two year old daughter.
Well then he shouldn't have broken the law, and instead of worked to get the law changed while not... breaking the law.
It's like throwing somebody in a cage for 20 years for selling a bag of weed.
No it isn't. For many different reasons. Further, the weed laws are changing because people are changing them. Selling weed before it becomes legal does not make you a hero, it makes you an idiot.
In Nazi Germany, it was against the rules to be a Jew. How is this any different from Micon's situation today?
First: you godwin'd this topic? This?
Second: if you need someone to explain how this is any different, you're a god damn fucking retard.

All the people saying things like Ronda would beat Floyd and all this "MMA person can beat Floyd" stuff is so ridiculous. Of course they can beat him in a MMA fight. Floyd is not a MMA fighter!!! Why is it even brought up?
MMA media is the best
Few things here:
You say, "of course X MMA fighter can beat Floyd" as if everyone agrees on that. I've seen a great number of boxing fans cluelessly, stupidly, absurdly claim that someone like Floyd would wreck MMA fighters that would could literally kill him in under a minute. So, that's one reason people talk about it. Correcting and combating stupidity.
This flows nicely into the second reason "why it is brought up". Educating people about it, and pointing out the differences is exactly what an MMA organization should be doing. Why the flying fuck wouldn't a business around a combat sport play up the fact that their people would destroy people from a different combat sport?
And a talking about a theoretical match-up that would even be controversial among pure MMA fans (Rousey/Floyd "lol our womenz could beat ur menz") - stirring up the pot, getting attention - is easy, literally free advertising. The cost of a few words.
I'm kind of rambling here and lost my train of thought about 20 seconds ago, but the point is I found this portion of your post silly.

Cormier was gonna get whupped on his feet, that was clear, so he blanketed him for a lot of that fight.
Cannot blame him in the slightest, if I were in that situation and my MMA superpower were wrestling and I was against someone who had a power-striking superpower, that's exactly what I'd do, too, but that's why the UFC hates wrestlers.
Because they can do what Cormier did to fighters like Rumble. There is no amount of 'camp' that can account for Olympic level wrestling. .
He took way longer to make that decision than I would have. I believe him when he said he thought Rumbles power was mostly myth. "They all hit hard" etc.
I think he was going to go in there and stand up for awhile, maybe even thought he could impose a bit on his feet. That was all dispelled though after he started taking some punches and kicks, solidifying it wasn't a myth when he got flashed down for a sec.
After that you could see he was clearly on the nope-train to wrestleville.
As usual, fuck the hyper casual fans. If you don't want to see an Olympic wrestler prove your superman striker can be put on his ass and beaten/choked to death, and want to boo as he goes about grinding that out, then go fucking watch kickboxing or some shit.

never seen either of those movies.
Well, watch them then fix your list.
Or don't watch them, just trust me, and fix the list.

DC seems nice enough, but I think he's made his bones beating cans.
Speaking of bones: and going 5 rounds with the one of the greatest pfp fighters in history?
The bones thing was a play on Jon "Bones" Jones.
Which was obvious but I thought the post was too short and uninteresting.
Still didn't seem enough so I added the current sentence.
Again.
Ok. Satisfied.

Are you talking middleweight or pound for pound?I was talking middleweight. #6 is Romero and can maybe beat Machida. #7 is Gegard who Machida beat recently. #8 is Kennedy who is hurt and might not fight in the UFC again. #9 and above are garbage. Where do you rank Machida? (If you were talking middleweight)
Poor reading on my part, I thought you were talking top 5 PFP.
But yea, he's not as good as a lot of people give him credit for.

who is positing with spadey's account? i demand you reveal yourself, impostor.
Will Smith, star of The Pelican Brief. A movie famous for the phrase, "let off some steam, Cohegan, now give the people the air".

What irritates me is that Americans have readily accepted Cosby as a rapist, but not Mr. Rogers as a pedophile.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not, but if not, you're an idiot and fuck off.

Scram beat me to it but Machida is not top 5.

Whitney also did the black man's cocaine, crack, and weed and booze.
Among other things.
STILL not enough to over-sway the massive amount of Wall Street White Collar White Bois Type in terms of stereotypical cocaine users.
Not to mention Robert Downey Jr. He, alone, wrecks the curve for celebrities.
You CANNOT WIN THIS.

I was embarrassed for Rodriguez or whatever the ethnic guy with all the god nonsense on prefight is named, and boxing as a whole watching that last fight.
-
You're making the mistake in thinking my statement was rooted in any sort of logic and not just a random opportunity to say "Watermeloneers"
Heh.
Also, black celebrities and cocaine is the stereotype.
Naw, the Chapelle Rick James skit isn't enough for all that.
-
Watermeloneers.
You missed his point. Jones' drug of choice, cocaine, and his crime of choice, DWI, are not black stereotypes.
They are rich white guy stereotypes.
If Jones had been arrested for gun and weed charges while making it rain at the strip club with his posse, your racism would have more ground to stand on in this matter.

Oh.
About the Rampage fight. If I were more conspiracy minded and less critically minded, I would claim that fight were rigged. As in, Fabio was paid to take an exciting beating and be put down. But Rampage was too old and out of shape to actually beat him up properly.
I'm not conspiracy minded and I do think critically, so I am not claiming this is the case, or likely the case.
But there was some weird shit going on in that fight. Some weird shit I say.
-
Looks like Jones is a possible suspect in a hit and run.
He's a pretty devout Christian though, so I highly doubt he would flee a scene after hitting a young pregnant woman in her car.
amirite?
Charity Tournament For Bryan Micon

Yeah, I knew it was him, and yes, I knew it might be a "joke". Neither mattered, it was stupid either way.
"Tiger trap". pfft, ****ing please.
First, this is a poor example because of who you're speaking to specifically. The smart thing for me to do isn't the same as the smart thing for someone else to do, because I'm dangerous as shit, and not in the internet tough guy way, but in the there are dead people in real life kind of way.
But the bigger issue is just the quality of the analogy itself. The mugger is, by all definitions, to nearly all people, the one doing something illegal and immoral in your analogy. Associating the victim with the person doing the illegal, and to many, immoral activity in real life is muddy and poorly constructed.
This is dumb.
At no point did I claim that any particular law is moral or immoral. Nor did I imply any such thing.
I do not find using or selling weed immoral. Nor poker. Nor prostitution for that matter. Or abortion. Or gay people getting married. Or stem cell research.
What I do claim is that running a prostitution ring, a gambling site, or slinging dime-sacs are stupid ways to make a living unless or until you can do them without risking going to prison.
Further, there is a distinction between risking going to prison in response to persecutions of people for who they are, and risking going to prison to make money doing something that the society in which you live currently considers a vice, by choice. I am not saying MLK and Harriet Tubman were stupid for breaking "laws" for social reasons.
I am saying that Micon running gambling stuff, or Jim selling joints out of his bedroom window are not ****ing MLK or Harriet Tubman. They are two dudes trying to make money doing something while it is illegal, rather than getting the law changed. They are not social heroes, they are bad at navigating life.
I don't even dislike Micon. My only experience with him was smashing his forum in poker when they came a-shit-talking some time years ago. He took the beatings well.
His choices in this matter were still stupid.
