UFC 200 features bizarre yellow mat

Of all the surprises leading up to the historic UFC 200 card on Saturday, the best was saved for last.The Octagon was changed from its usual grey color to an approximation of gold that appears to be more of a mustard yellow. Weird eh? #UFC200 pic.twitter.com/FUUcvaI4FX— John McGinley...

Even the 4 year olds would be like - "These courts ain't it ..."


lol

Real talk

 

[REDLINE]

Agreed. Even when multi-tasking and watching it off & on ... your eyes still can't adjust to it. It's bad like the UFC Octagon mat / canvas at UFC 200 around 2016.

I definitely agree! I guess I only really paid attention to the darker courts.

I still like’ ‘em, but don’t wanna see all of them on my tv

I always found this court hard on the eyes too.


Like I understand what they were going for with the trees and all (being from the Pacific Northwest) ... but it just doesn't look good with the lighting and tv camera angle(s).

I like the court, but I do agree with you.

Naz Reid is a tiger as well

Tari Eason from the Rockets too. I just ain’t been paying attention.

Jokic come back and casually drop a 33 point triple dub. Russ has another good game, Nuggets still lose

Maybe if that euro trash slug played some defense the outcome would be different?

You’re one angry dude.


The whole team. The whole team plays no defense. That’s on the coach. They were down 24 in the 3rd. Came all the way back to take like a 8 point lead in the 4th just to lose the game.

It’s been happening ever since he became coach. You shouldn’t be a better team when you’re losing than when you are winning. That shit makes no sense.

 

[M.H.C.]

Tonight, Jokic officially passed Lebron in the GOAT debate.



















*waits*

 

[M.H.C.]

Crazy cuz his numbers were better than both of them COMBINED.

What the fuck we doing here? We all know Jokic is not a good defender. What does this prove? That ain’t why they won the game

It proves that he's a better defender than KAT.

NBA One-Month Awards! The MVP of the season so far is ...

We’re just one month into the NBA season, but early impressions matter. Here are the current frontrunners for each awards race.

That was a good game though

Defense matters, and your team leader is a bitch and cry baby. He needs to shut up and play. Get back on defense. That's the issue.

You been saying that about Jokic defensively. Muthafuckas just don't pay attention till it's time for them to make a point.

And that right there is what’s keeping him outta top 10 list for me

The media is going to give him a 4th MVP so they can say the greatest big man of all time is white. Shaq's value and legacy bout to take the biggest hit cuz he's the most recent dominant big and only won 1 MVP. Jokic's career will be elevated over him by this summer. That's why Shaq snapped on Shannon Sharpe last year for saying it. And because Shaq is a coon that worships whiteness, he won't push back like he did against Dwight Howard and other Black centers.

Shaq is gone tap dance and pop bottles with him
Long as it’s not a black center like you said

Murray was gar-baaage!!

That’s what I’m saying. It would’ve made more sense if they did that AND shut Jokic down. Now that would’ve been worth mentioning

 

[M.H.C.]

That was a good game though

It definitely was.

 

[M.H.C.]

Exactly!

 

[Llano]

@Llano bruh...
This team is COOKIN'!

Niggas better be on they shit when they play the Rockets... ESPECIALLY when Eason and Thompson check in.

Every time they check in the energy goes up and they bust the game open.

All we're missing from this team is perimeter shooting. Fred & Jalen are volume shooters but not efficient. We address this & we'll be a problem come playoff time.

 

[M.H.C.]

Murray was gar-baaage!!

Bruh. It would've made more sense if he played like this coming off his ACL injury. But no, he literally comes back and wins a fucking championship looking like "Bubble Murray" again. But he has hit a fucking WALL. Russell Westbrook is outplaying him. I love Russ but that shouldn't happen.

 

[KingTaharqa]

One reason most people prefer Mike and Kobe over LeBron is because they were waaaaaay better jump shooters than he is. He primarily relies on "putting his head down" and getting to the basket and scoring on layups and drives and has never really been reliable from deep like MJ and Bean. That's the only reason his FG% always been higher than theirs, he feasts on easier shots.

You will be singing a different tune tonight.

Take the over on Murray tonight guys. You heard it here first.
