The problem fightlinker had with the commission wasn’t what type they were using or anything else, it was that they wouldn’t retest even when half of their card couldn’t pass their test. While that might be because of their fighters being out of shape, it’s not an unreasonable request to have a retest done using a different method that should only alter the results less than 1%. Any commission that won’t re-test their results when it’s current methodology has above average results in the negative column is moving into very questionable territory.

And thanks for the work that goes into putting it all together.

Regarding blood pressure, sometimes I wish MMA pundits would exercise a bit more common sense before claiming “assholery” on whatever it is they’re complaining about that day.

She seems to have gone to Midamerica Nazarene. That’s interesting because I went to Southern Nazarene, and in the 1960s, Midamerica split off from SNU (then Bethany Nazarene, or possibly still Bethany-Peniel…hm).

Otherwise, we have nothing in common. Oh well.
