Cool quote from a genocide defending pedophile from the party you vote for but doesn't really have anything to do with Dricus just being a dude from Africa wanting to win a belt

Very cute of you to assume any American textbook teaches anything after Vietnam and not involving America I graduated high school in 2015 (sorry to turn y'all to dust) And it went Vietnam (which we "mostly won" -> uhhhh 9/11 I guess and then nothing else If anything nowadays theyre working on inventing the clean Rhodesia myth or something stupid

White Americans shouldn't imply that Native Americans aren't real Americans, even if the Native American person is living somewhere else. It's obvious DDP dismissing the other Africans in the UFC even in that quote, between incorrectly claiming the belts never went to Africa, that he is "the African" (along with Saaiman, but ignoring Themba Gorimbo, training in Zimbabwe and who he knows), that still residing and training in Africa is what an African champion is. The context of the quote makes it worse, too, where the reporter asks him if he's disappointed that the African champions have been losing their UFC belts or if he sees it as an opportunity. It came after he said he wants to be the "first real African champion". DDP knew what he was doing and doubled down on it, before eventually walking it back when he was getting called out for it. It would be extremely easy for him to say "I want to be the first champion training in Africa" if that's all he meant. He didn't.

Yes of course his comments were problematic, and he did walk them back although probably he should have more explicitly apologized. My point is just that we should assume generally that all mma fighters are problematic.

Du Plessis seems like a bit of an idiot, but from the other things he says I get more of a genuinely stupid vibe from him than a racist one. I’ll be cool with him if he knocks off the Africa thing, although I assume Izzy will never drop it.

Izzy has every reason not to drop it since he's almost surely going to fight Du Plessis next in a title fight or title eliminator. It's not like the UFC will build any kind of narrative in advance of Ron Pearlman's voiceover.

Datsik's denying it on his Telegram channel and saying he was bit by a dog, and on one hand it's Datsik and he's always full of poo poo, but on the other hand it's Datsik so I would fully believe a dog sensed he was evil.

Evolev Allen was very good and the last few minutes of the Chris Curtis fight ruled. I was watching the latter with the sound off and didn't even realize that I was supposed to hate it.

Evloev Allen fight was the best one on the card. The highest level one for sure. I like Curtis, I really do - but I get so annoyed when fighters decide to strike only, like we should take them as serious athletes who have chosen to ignore huge parts of their chosen sport. Same criticism of Strickland except I don't like him

The UFC should be promoting Evloev with side by side sequences of him doing mat return sequences on Allen and Khabib doing some of his best mat return sequences before he started using his signature Dagestani handcuffs. This is a guy that has a way better chance of being "the next Khabib!" than any of the guys they've breathlessly promoted that way. Or at least the next Makhachev if that title has already been claimed. I wasn't fully sold on him before this fight given the level of competition, with Ige being his only notable win in a favorable style matchup, but he rose to the occasion in a good fight against a great fighter. It was a very close fight, but his fundamentals look so solid he should be able to make a few adjustments to widen the gap. I still love Allen but I'm on the Evloev hype train now. It's utterly baffling to me that Dana White is big mad and undercutting it instead of doing his literal job and promoting it.

It's utterly baffling to me that Dana White is big mad and undercutting it instead of doing his literal job and promoting it. Remember that, given limitless resources to create his own sport's league, Dana White came up with Slap fighting. I don't think he actually likes fighting unless it's dudes trading brain damage with no defence whatsoever. Literally anything else has always bored him and as he gets older and becomes more unhinged the way billionaires inevitably do, it infuriates him rather than boring him.

https://www.threads.net/@lukethomasnews/post/C2amzU0pT2j/ Maybe not the most efficient way to learn: - the UFC censored Makhachev’s message of Palestinian solidarity out of a rebroadcast, and ESPN/Disney just let it happen - there were LGB chants at Toronto, lol
