They should make it 12 hours long by including flashbacks to all the shit happening in the TV shows. Just drown it in exposition. Make it as unwatchable as possible.
4 hours???? Somebody need they ass beat for this

MMA used to be dumb but in a fun way.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

“We need a secret police”
Continue to think that saying “abolish ICE” without explaining how you’ll enforce the law is a trap, but boosting this
"YouGov has ICE at 39% favorable, 52% unfavorable...But this top line really understates the intensity of public backlash to ICE and its tactics. In February 2025, just 19% of Americans held a strongly unfavorable view of ICE. Today, 40% do."

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

If all you need is the Zuffa logo and Dana white’s reddening face to tune in for Jose Valenzuela and Justin Viloria and to believe that Callum Walsh is the next Terence Crawford, I dunno man. Maybe you’re just be a mark.

“Beginner friendly” crochet patterns that have you working with 1.0, 2.0, and 2.5 hooks are not beginner friendly.

145/155 really has a lot of global talent right now -
Islam Omarov, Razhabali Shaydullaev, Usman Nurmagomedov, AJ McKee, Timur Khizriev, Movlid Khaybulaev, Salahdine Parnasse, Akbar Abdullaev, Tang Kai, Losene Keita (is he still signed to the UFC?), etc. Reminds me of the early 2010s.

I feel like once a month a random 16-0 British dude with a solid amateur pedigree pops up and gets talked about like he's the next best thing since AJ only for him to get sent back to the UK scene.

My # 1 gym tip as someone who’s still a new goer - know what you want to do ahead of time. Have a plan before you get in there.
Don’t need to know what each machine does but you should research what you want to work (core/arms/legs) and find some corresponding exercises.

Honestly the biggest barrier to going to a gym is that it feels like walking into the 4th year practical exam for a class you didn't attend in a language you don't speak.
