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


a right wing freeze peach advocate going "free speech! but not like that!" is one of the least surprising things on earth.

Wow that's not even one of the options I had in mind, wtf. Wasn't she saying a couple years ago that she can't even comfortably make 145?

I'm genuinely shocked they aren't making that fight for the vacant women's 145 belt. Like, yeah, they don't give a poo poo about that division, but we're at a point where they have multiple BMF title fights a year now, they still have people like Norma Dumont and Karol Rosa on the roster that would be happy to fight there, and it would finally fulfill their endless mission to get another loving belt on Holly Holm, so making Kayla go down to 135 is just weird.

I mean, it's not weird, they're panicking about how they have absolutely no one at women's 135 to promote because they spent a decade not putting in any effort and they're hoping Kayla can fix it, but c'mon.

So that's 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 5, 0, 1 defenses, hmm. Volk would probably have like 8 defenses by now if he wasn't the other side of Makhachev's two defenses.

One proposed Ronda vehicle was a parody of...something written by Tina Fey and there's a morbid curiosity as to how bad that would have turned out.

Thai guys are built different. Really thought Shahmarzade was gonna get that finish and if you can't you are done. Khun came out hard and fast like the 1st round didn't happen.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Merab retiring Aldo with an Aldo esque performance is seared into my mind. Aldo just could not get anything going against him, like he was stuck in second gear. After Aldo did that to so many people it is, in its own way, quite an impressive passing of the torc

Brock stalked his wife relentlessly and liked showing his dick to people without their consent so... yeah. It was known but you had to dig a little for it.
