TUFdate #4! (Patreon)

Whats up gang!

We're back with another belated Sunday night TUFdate, this time, on a Wednesday!

Progress remains steady, but still nowhere near as much as I'd like. Mrs. B has been back in the US for the last 4 weeks, so i kinda stupidly thought I'd have way more time to work on the video as she isn't here for me to hang out with during the evenings so what else am I gonna do, but didn't factor in that without her at home I am basically doubling my own work around the house... so yeah, that, combined with me YET AGAIN biting off more than i can chew with this one has me feeling like I'm way behind. For reference, I'm 43 minutes in, and have discussed approximately 2 seasons of TUF: 11 and 12. There are still EIGHTEEN FUCKING SEASONS to go. So yeah, obviously, I cant cover all 18. I never intended to as that would be clinically insane and most of the later seasons are barely worth mentioning, in terms of entertainment and the winners they produced. But yeah, long story short, 43 minutes done, a lot more to go!

Other than that, life is quiet both in terms of the channel and life in general. So here's some UFC ranting before i go to bed as my brain is too tired to think of anything else rn

I am greatly aggrieved that the UFC are putting my girl Valentina on a god damn fight night card for her almost guaranteed to be dominant return to the octagon. What the hell are they even thinking? Title fights on fight night card just feel wrong. It doesn't help that with UFC oversaturation lately, Fight night cards feel increasingly disposable and unimportant. Nunes didn't have to suffer this injustice when she reversed that blip on her resume with Pena. Fuck you, baldfather. #justiceforvalentina

The Korean Zombie's retirement was similar to that of Luke Rockholds, a fighter who went out on  a loss, but made it look like a win just by giving an insane performance. He'd been a favourite of mine ever since i heard the name "Korean Zombie" and realized that was actually his fucking name. (yes I know its not his given name, but what other fighter got their damn nickname as their actual title on fight cards? Aside from CM Punk..)

Zombie realized he likely wasn't going to win, so just went hell for leather, to the point of throwing shots post-getting knocked out. That's how you spin a loss as a win. A real Viking send off for a fighter who'll be genuinely missed.

Strickland v Adesanya must be the least hypeworthy card of the year, surely? Even the main event feels like a flaccid cock of a matchup. Du Plessis would've been a much better matchup, and yeah, we all saw Sean O'Malley shock the world, but is ANYONE genuinely expecting Strickland to win this?? I just don't see it in any timeline. Even the timeline where the UFC allows guns.

Anyway, catch you guys soon, with hopefully a bit of a meatier TUFdate. Just bleed,
