    He still had something left in the tank. Was he tired and a bit rocked? Absolutely. I just call gassed at: heavyweight we are leaning on each other on the fence and throw half assed short shots. He was still throwing heat and not just winging hooks, he was still using his kicks, his jab and...

    Yeah, Khamzat is not the immortal he was up until this fight, but he is absolutely for real. Good power, way better striking than his contemporary power wrestler (Khabib), ludicrously strong and obviously phenomenal grappling. And now we learned he won't gas in 15 even after getting hit really...

    Even beyond the ridiculous hype, there is a lot of reason for that. We can see it now, Khamzat is huge versus Gilbert and he hits hard and has phenomenal wrestling. In theory, he has the skills to match Gil and definitely the height/reach.

    Yan is very far ahead of the BW division right now. While Sterling is longer and taller than Yan, so was Sandhagen, so that didn't help for shit. In their first fight, Sterling threw out a bunch of ineffective offense into Yan's guard in the early rounds, gassing himself out. He was well on...

    Radahn isn't a secret, he is just optional. He is literally a gigantic (footless) humanoid, who mastered Gravity Magic so his trusty steed Leonard (who is the size of a normal horse) can carry him about the battlefield without dieing from having a literal giant riding him. At one point around...

    2 of these 3 are great. Jiri is awesome, and for Glover's sake I hope he can get it to the ground. Otherwise it is going to look very much like exactly what this fight is, a dude in his 20's beating a dude in his 40's to death. I think Vettori is the only guy in the top 5 of MW that...

    Of the three endings, they are all essentially resetting the order of the Lands Between. For all of the versions of Elden Lord (whether you do the generic, or sub in one of your own runes from Dung Eater, Fia or Goldmask) essentially you are reviving Marika and becoming her consort and the new...

    And this is only 4 weeks out from release. Vaati literally has probably a years worth of content to make just from the base game. There is so much shit to make interesting videos on between lore and in game secrets. Like... I had no idea that there was a fucking entrance to Deeproot Depths...

    I literally dodged nothing on her and face tanked with the finger print shield. Tiche and I wailed on her to break poise and get front stabs between her Waterfowl Dance. For Phase 2 during Scarlet Aeonia, I just backed away with the shield raised while she is airborne. Once the blast went off...

    I know they nerfed the Mimic Tear, but due to Summons having stupid Poise for some reason, that weapon with the hilariously long wind up on the Weapon Art was how I killed by first double Crystalian boss. The little Tear-that-could was shooting fireballs out of his hand like fucking Mario. Was...

    There is one that does the same shit that happens in Limgrave, you bop a couple of zombies on the head and a Rune Bear pops out of them. Drops a Larval Tear. Still considerably not worth it.

    I know the majority of us forgot that tonight's card is in England-time, but the main event is about to start. Card has been absurd violence, only 2 Decisions. Dan Hooker just got beaten like a rented mule after returning to FW.

    I love TKZ, always have. That said, he absolutely does not deserve this title shot. He is slow, and thats not even an age thing, that is just kind of his thing. He is slow and accurate and hits decently hard. But people can run circles around him, Ortega did it, Volkanovski can absolutely do...

    As already stated, one is church of dragon communion, where you can turn in Dragon Hearts for the early game incantations. Accessed through Seaside Cave I believe. #2 is the tutorial area where you fight the Grafted Scion. You can get back there (and beat the Scion plus get a good early game...

    This, there are a LOT of different people with different motives running around in this game. Previously your choices (until Dark Souls 3) was Link the Fire, Let It Die. Here the game has like 7 different endings, depending on whose side you wish to take. Some only vary slightly by how you...

    Big jar guy, I don't know if there is a progress trigger, but once you talk to him, 3 red summon signs appear in front of him. You have to defeat all three one after another and he gives you the Equip Load Talisman +2. You can kind of cheese it by standing on the branch hanging over the cliff...
