#UFC324 feels like a favorite-heavy card full of potential trap fights and official picks that I’ll be internally cheering against…

But 1st, I had to finish a huge work-related project that about share here…

Abbey Subhan from MMA Junkie passed away. Hope my memory isn't playing tricks but I think I met him at least once in passing during a UFC fight week over the years. Condolences to those I know in MMA who lost a friend. I'm so sorry for your loss. 😔 #RIP @simonheadsport.com @dantommma.bsky.social

I’ve been to the movies a lot this year…
In fact, I haven’t been to the theater this much since probably 2014, over a decade ago.
Watching stupid amounts of tape for my MMA jobs have really killed screen time for me but I’m glad I’ve made more time this year.
Solid movie year it seems as well.
