Cain pulled out of the USADA testing pool apparently too.

Vince has him in the laboratory as we speak

So it turns out that Bisping fought with a glass eye, several times, and nobody noticed.

The UFC, and MMA in general, are a disgrace in terms of fighter safety.

Makes it all the more satisfying that he knocked out Luke Rockhold with one eye though.

When was he on the juice to begin with?

Is it glass, though? It's a cover for his real eye which is still there I think, but badly damaged. It may not be glass.

Someone who can compete at the top level effectively with one eye....tough as nails. That's pretty ridiculous. Would a one-eye fighter be officially allowed to fight?

I get even more squeamish thinking about him putting it in and out with a real eye underneath!

You are all fully aware of the charter and discussion about legal cases not being allowed. Consider yourself banned if you decide to post about it again.

11-10-2019 6:07pm

if there is a video of something, and furthermore a person has done an interview apologising for it, doesn't that mean it has happened?

serious agendas here.

Axwell · 11-10-2019 6:24pm

Whether it happened or not is not the issue.

The charter is quite clear on the matter - strictly no talk about it. No agenda's just people constantly ignoring the charter and the multiple mod warnings. It cant be made any clearer. Banned for a month because of your previous infractions and ignoring my warning.

5) Strictly no talk about legal issues or potential court cases
Absolutely no discussion on anything involving legal action, court cases, or ongoing events which may end up in legal proceedings against a fighter. This is a complete no go and off the table regardless of it being mentioned in other media or the press. Speculation or commentary on ongoing/likely legal cases is not allowed across the whole site.

Moving this post over from the McGregor thread.

He is on the verge of pushing Jameson off the top Irish Whiskey position in America, a billion of whiskey sold already this year.

He hasn’t sold a billion or anything remotely like that. He won’t be catching Jameson either.
A successful year would be more cases than Caskmates. Which is Jameson’s Proper12 equivalent.

Except cask mates is good, and good value for the price, and 12 is crap and horrendous value for the price.

The first caskmates was good. But gone down hill since. Getting getting barrels sent over from Australia only adds cost. Not worth the mark up compared to others at that price.

The local varients might be different but the stuff they're aging withh 8Degrees IPA aged barrels down in Mitchel's town is very good, and they bought the brewery, just so they'd have a supply of IPA to age in the wood specifically for the caskmates series.

Haven’t tried that one. I’ll keep an eye out. They did one with Young Henry’s. A brewery close to me that does very good beer. But end result was very average. Fancy four year old stuff. I’d expect the same from most special editions.
But half the fun is trying them out.

I had thought they were using 8 degrees stuff now as well. And didn't they use Franciscan Well casks at the start?
Where are they sourcing barrels from in Aus?

They do varients for certain markets with local breweries.

The barrels were sent by Jameson to Young Henry’s in Newtown in Sydney. They made a beer to in barrels, so it had a whiskey finish. Then sent the barrels back to finished the caskmates. The beer was available in Sydney only, but I thought the whiskey was available in Ireland.
It’s interesting, but increases cost, for still fairly young whiskey.

Somebody asked about the Stout vrs IPA on the whiskey forum last night. General opinion was that the stout was better.
Still think mark up is relatively high compared to aged pot stills or whatever.
