. Of all the hyperbolic and outlandish things said by Dana White, the gazillion times he has stated a version of this is actually accurate and tough to argue with.
Before there was a Rousey or a McGregor, there was a Griffin. The smug, yet endearing blue-collar light heavyweight that parlayed that amazing gritty fight into a career and eventual championship. But as much as he was the everyman, his words got him into trouble in a pretty significant way once upon a time. Lest we think this was just 'how it was' in 2011 pre #metoo or political correctness – no, this was not ok then any more than it is now. Griffin made what it appears he thought was a harmless quip on the budding social media platform known as Twitter that included the soon-to-be problematic line, "Rape is the new missionary." The reader would not need to go look at any context to find out there is no time or reason to say such a thing or that it was not ok.
MMA has always had that fringe thing going on. It has always had dirt under its fingernails. As much as the bigwigs want it to be like other sports and leagues...cough... Reebok deal...it will always have an underground bloodsport vibe to it. Truth is, they probably secretly like trying to have their cake (pro-level respect and profitability) and eat it (the grit and grime of cage fighting). While Forrest did not receive any real or official sanctions from the UFC at the time, things were frowned upon. Not universally, but frowned upon which is saying something for a vocation that includes bonuses for knocking people unconscious. Chuck Mindenhall, one of the most profound thinkers and writers in the sport said at the time that "five years down the line" that type of thing could really damage the brand (UFC). Well, we are 10 years down the line and the sport's biggest star tweeted, then deleted a question asking if the Covid was good that killed Nurmagomedov's father. He did this in response to Khabib suggesting it was good triumphing over evil when Dustin Poirier was victorious over Conor after being pummeled for a better part of a round and his leg failed him at UFC 264. Mindenhall's prediction things would be curtailed for brand safety has not happened, sadly.
This writer asked the question (genuinely) if there was a line McGregor wouldn't cross days before this happened. Conor had already trash-talked threats of death to Poirier and his family. Was that the line? Khabib's coach and friend, retired former Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier said using this exact language in echoing his cohost Ryan Clark's words that those comments about the loss of his father had indeed crossed the line. While Forrest Griffin received no formal reprimand for his rape comments in 2011, another legend in a lighter weight class from those bygone days named Miguel Torres was not so fortunate when he made his own rape-related comment: "If a rape van was called a surprise van more women wouldn't mind going for rides in them." Torres was summarily dismissed from the roster – even after apologizing. President Dana White's comments to Sports Illustrated at the time were direct: "There's no explanation for that. There's absolutely nothing I could say to make any sense of that. And the fact that he even thinks that's funny or that's a joke, it disturbs me. It bothers me. Again, you're dealing with a guy (who's) a smart guy, that owns his own business, that's been one of the top fighters in the world forever. And I cut him today. He's no longer with the UFC."
One wonders what is being said behind those Las Vegas UFC HQ doors about the smart business guy named Conor McGregor. The old-timers among UFC fans might have a vague recollection that after such things back in the day there was a fabled "code of conduct" document rumored to exist in which the UFC outlined its social media policy. It was supposed to put an end to things like this. This can be taken as a dare to try and find it (ssshhh, here it is) or see what the UFC is doing with it at this time when fighters are mocking the death of other fighter's relatives or wishing for an opponent's demise as Sean Strickland spoke of post-fight UFC on ESPN 28.

Currently, tariffs on semiconductors, MRI machines and GPS devices are as high as 25 percent, 8 percent and 8 percent respectively.
US statistics show that the ITA will eliminate tariffs on the global trade of $1 trillion in high tech products, improve global GDP by $190 billion, and create 60,000 jobs for the US.
China's big tech firms such as Huawei and Zhongxing will also benefit from the deal, which is set to boost their sales in the US market and help enhance cooperation with US firms.
However, for smaller firms in China, scrapping tariffs could mean tougher competition. China's fledgling semiconductor industry, for example, is likely to see sales drop as foreign products swarm in at lower prices. Imported high-end medical equipment is also likely to grab a bigger share of the market as the development of such products is still weak in China.
"High-tech products are bound to flood in thanks to the deal, and domestic producers will inevitably feel the pressure," said Ge Yibo, a statistician at Hangzhou customs.
The ITA will seek WTO approval in December.
Overview:
With the ruler tool you can press the ruler icon in the lower left portion of the Design page to draw a ruler that will conform to roof surfaces to measure the length of an area. The ruler tool will snap to objects (building edges, obstructions, solar panels, carports/ground mounts, fill areas, etc).
Once the ruler has been placed you can edit the length of an area and switch between 2D (laying on the ground) and 3D (conforming to the roof surface) views by moving the cube icon in the top left side of your screen.
The ruler tool snaps to conform to nearby obstructions to ensure accurate placement and drawing.
How to Use the Ruler Tool:
1.) Select the ruler icon in the bottom left corner of your page. You can also draw by clicking once to place the start of your measurement and once again to place the end of your measurement.
2.) Click once and hold down your mouse, dragging to extend the ruler.
3.) Next hold down your mouse and drag to extend the ruler.
4.) Unclick your mouse at the end of the area that you would like to measure.
5.) You will know when you have measured your area successfully when you see a yellow line across the area you have measured. You will also see the measurement in the metric unit (designated under Settings) above the yellow line.Within the field of biopsychology many researchers dedicate themselves to the task studying the brain and the multitude of neurochemicals, brain structures, hemispheres, and communication pathways among different brain regions. Their work contributes to our evolving understanding of the role the brain plays in behavior, cognition, and emotions.
For this week’s discussion we will employ our analytical skills to evaluate four case studies. Through our evaluation of the case studies, we will apply our knowledge of the nervous system, brain structures, and events that can disrupt healthy functioning.
Part 1: Case Reviews: Review the four case studies provided below. Answer four of the presented questions following each case study. You will need your answers for your main post and your peer follow-ups.
According to the first letter of your last name, you have been assigned a case study to analyze and address for your main post this week. Once you’ve identified your assigned case study, carefully compose your responses to four of the assigned questions.
Part 3: Peer follow-up: Respond to two of your classmates’ postings, selecting two who were assigned a different case study from your own. Provide constructive, thoughtful feedback designed to build an engaging dialog. To achieve this, comment on your classmate’s post AND share your answers to an assigned question not addressed in your classmate’s main post. This will contribute to a broader analysis of the case study.
