Cal-line Equipment posted a video that is also good to watch and for the guys to watch as well. A demo of a chipper taking in a rope with dummy attached. Can't seem to pull it off and embed it. It's on their facebook page.

Scary shit. The one of the Chinese dudes moving the scaffold and then catching fire sticks with me yet.
I'm glad no one lost their head and put water on it.

How are there fewer tree workers killed each year than farmers? That thing is a death machine!

I wonder why the blades don't cut the rope?

My uncle was a farmer, was killed when he unhitched a farm trailer with too much rear weight. Flew up and hit his head.
There are a million ways to die on a farm, most of them hidden. Farmer near here died last year, fell into a pig slurry tank, drowned. In tree work whilst it's dangerous, you sort of know when it's dangerous.
Because few companies know how to adjust their chipper's bed knife properly!
You know! That distinctive whop, whop, whop sound a properly set bed knife makes when a blade knife passes within a whisker of it?

A guy I knew, his dad was a second generation feed corn farmer in Wisconsin, a big operation and he'd (dad) been around farm machinery all his life. One piece of machinery had some type of rotating shaft that stuck out a bit. Somehow it caught him around the shirt collar and choked him to death. I don't think anyone saw it happen. I sent flowers from California.

It looks like Ronda went to shake her hand there. She is already backing up when mouthing whatever it is. The Brazilian was somewhat ungracious too, after the fight.
I see what you are looking at but I don't think RR intended any hand shaking or other niceties, they disliked each other. From what I have observed, the braziiian is a product of her culture, they seem to do a lot of over the top, silly trash talking, like threatening opposing athletes with death.
RR is in a tough spot. Women's mma is in its infancy and the people she fights are glorified amateurs, she needs a high quality opponent, a foil, to push her and bring out her best. No such person is on the radar yet.

She appears to me to be starting to hold out her hand as she walks up to the other woman. It's brief. All that trash talk doesn't mean much, but it does bring in revenue.
I don't much understand a lot of that cage fighting. They say that people are trained martial artists, but it looks to me to be a lot of flailing about and often if you get a lucky punch in, you win. Not saying the stronger person skill wise doesn't often win, but it doesn't seem like much disciplined fighting, say like a boxer that has a plan from studying their opponent and can slip punches and counterpunch, that kind of thing. It's often a more reckless abandon thing like kids on a school yard. Like to see Ronda take on a female Shaolin priest, if they exist.

A lucky punch can indeed end any cage fight, but generally, there is definitely the exact same discipline and strategy involved as you mentioned for boxing, but it extends across the various disciplines of boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, jiu jitsu, etc. Like most sports, there is always a strategy to take on the type of threat your opponent presents, avoiding their strengths, attacking their weakness. Making the strategy work is of course the trick.

OK, I'll take your word for it. I guess there is money in the sport, so people would want to be smart about winning.
I figured out what the Brazilian is saying at the face off. "After the fight, I'll take you to a place to get some Fejioda, our national dish". RR is thinking, no way, got to stay in my weight class, and a good chance her opponent won't be able to eat.

Lol.
There is very little money in the sport, except for the best of the best who are indeed earning in the millions all told.
The lowest level ufc guys make about $6k per fight, mid level guys make in the teens per fight. For the beatings taken and work put in, compared to established pro sports, they make jack doodley
