If you came to my profile because you liked/hated something I wrote, then just follow me because you'll surely like/hate more of what I write.

Maybe, just maybe, we should be taking a closer look at the guy who keeps overworking his fighters with nonsense workouts. Sam Calavitta and the Treighning Lab paying dividends for fighters yet again. #MMA #UFCAbuDhabi

If you believe in karma, an infamously bad guy blowing out his leg during the very first strike he throws in his comeback fight is optimistic. #UFC329 #MMA

Frankly absurd that Terrance McKinney has never won a bonus in his 13-fight UFC history. In 26 total bouts, he has never heard a scorecard. Meanwhile, King Green will be seeking his 9th bonus in his 31st UFC bout. The road warrior takes on a living firework to open #UFC329. #MMA

All the AI dramatizations and ads look like absolute shit. #UFCWhiteHouse #MMA

UPDATE: The result of this #RTU5 bout has been reviewed and CHANGED to a TKO win for Farida Abdueva. She is now 8-1 as a professional. #RoadToUFC #MMA

Farida Abdueva has been advanced forward in the #RTU5 tournament. The organization stated they believe it was a punch that ended the bout and will move forward as such. #MMA #RoadToUFC

Drama in Macau as referee Lukasz Bosacki makes a fight-ending blunder. Farida Abdueva injures Xiaocan Feng w/ a legal strike (originally thought to be an eye poke). Despite replays showing a clean strike, bout is called a NO CONTEST. Nothing short of a robbery. #RoadToUFC #MMA

Say what you will, but good luck finding a fighter at any level with so many quick, technical finishes - let alone a world champion in multiple sports. @RondaRousey #RouseyCarano #MMA :25 :49 :25 :39 4:27 :54 4:49 10:58 1:06 :16 :14 :34 :17

Tremendously skilled bout between Nakatani and Inoue. A tactical showdown with a litany of minor adjustments made by both throughout. One must wonder how it would have looked if Nakatani asserted himself earlier, as he did quite well when leading. #boxing

Hard to agree with Colby Thicknesse getting a unanimous 29-28 over Vince Morales at #UFCPerth. Vince simply wasn't given enough credit for the adjustments and radical shift in momentum he orchestrated. The 2nd round being the pivotal round - one I clearly saw for Morales. #MMA

Incredibly, this is the first submission win of Moumtzis' career! #CW204 #MMA

Great end to a long and successful career for @MikeMav22. He improved substantially throughout his 16 years as a pro and spent 14 of those in the upper echelon of the UFC. A legacy as an impressive, intelligent fighter and a terrific representative of the sport. #UFCSeattle #MMA

Dakota "Hairy" Bush is 8-0 since exiting the UFC in 2022. He just got a 34-second knockout at #PFLPittsburgh, too. Very Interesting.

How did Ignacio Bahamondes lose the first round according to judge Mike Bell? The MMA officiating we've been getting between #PFLPittsburgh and #UFCSeattle is worrying.

I was baffled when the UFC announced Patterson vs. MVP, surprised the pairing held to #UFCLondon, and remain confused by the matchmaking. English finisher just getting towards top 20 opposition put against the master nullifier? Ruined the kid's momentum for no good reason. #MMA

I'll be honest, I'm a little surprised the UFC was willing to put Gaethje as headliner for #UFCFreedom250 despite the near certainty he'll be nuked by Topuria. Nonetheless, you have your full main card announced at #UFC326. #MMA

There was a case for Long Xiao being DQ'd in the third round but ultimately it's nice to see repeated consequences for repeated fouls in this one. A nearly 40-fight veteran has no excuse to drive in 3 low blows within 1:30. #UFC326 #MMA

An undefeated prospect who finishes everyone taking the breakable veteran to a lackluster split decision feels like a right of passage at this point. #UFC326 #MMA

Terrific organizational debut for Alberto Montes. His striking was levels ahead of Turcios but it was one of his signature chokes he put Ricky Turcios to sleep with at #UFC326. This is a real featherweight prospect of interest. #MMA

One must wonder what Sumudaerji's career would look like if he had more raw power. Excellent showing from Sumudaerji at #UFC326 - his third win in a row and a fairly well-rounded one, at that. 4/4 on takedowns and dominant striking carried by big height/reach advantages. #MMA
