"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

1.) Emmets performance was more impressive than Kattars...BUT Kattar won that

2.) Deron Winn has horrible fight IQ but is tough as nails. You are the smaller midget wrestler. Why are you trying to strike?? Shoot a takedown as soon as possible. He is a disgrace to AKA

3.) These Eastern European fighters are going to crush the current lightweight roster. Guram Ketedze and Damir are very high level fighters. They are more tehcnical than the top 5 lightweights. The quality of these eastern fighters is impressive.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Glorified boxing match. Really boring imo.

Crazy how Kattar won this. He only won the first round by jabbing , and arguablythe last round. Emmet had much more forward pressure , was way more aggressive. Kattar obviously had the reach advantage, but didn't utilized it properly. Should have finished his combos with low kicks.


Unfortunately UFC doesnt do draws. Real average match at best. Nothing extraordinary.

Yeh man i agree. Kattar didnt low kick much. I also agree that the UFC needs draws. I dont know why they dont do this. This fight was razo close. I am happy that the physically smaller man won though.

Striking sells tickets and ppv buys. There is always pressure on fighters who excel at ground fighting to stay on their feet and strike.
