This Joe Rogan podcast with Michael Osterholm is EASILY the most comprehensive interview pertaining to the coronavirus issue. Nothing to panic over... but simply something we should take heed to in understanding resource availability.
Dana White slams MMA media over coronavirus concerns.
‘They don’t feed families. They don’t take care of f-cking people. They don’t have people that count on them. They don’t have people to support’

that's the bizarro world interpretation. she's being harassed by a flagrantly corrupt sheriff's dept that is literally infested with criminal gangs.
Today a bunch more of my MMA breakdown videos from the last several months have gotten DMCA takedowns from the UFC.
They're definitely fair use, but I know it's not worth fighting.
Yes, that is the point of punitive damages. To stop bad actors from causing additional harm. Having a large platform comes with responsibilities.....like not spreading blood libel.
I hope Vox will keep featuring the work of

It's called journalism
Powerful people hate it.
Especially Mr Slap Happy himself.
The UFC’s newest champion is a big fan of alleged rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate, and also defended Dana White slapping his wife.
This is the UFC in 2023.
Cases 👏🏻 don’t 👏🏻 matter 👏🏻 only deaths. Figure it the f*ck out or hide in your house while everyone else is back to normal. EDUCATE yourselves and look at the trend of declining deaths. 7000 people die in American every day NOT from corona. There was 600 deaths due to corona
Yes there will be an announcement about

In the meantime, please stop unsubscribing to our Substack. We're keeping the stuff you care about on the Subtack which will remain under my control and will not be going to the new owners.
I'm very touched by the outpouring of emotion about the sale of

I'm doing my best to make sure the team is fully paid for the work they did -- that's

The problem with the "we create our own reality" approach is when the other players operate under more of a traditional consensus reality approach
I've known Matt for 25 years. I always enjoyed him
Watching him turn into the Mouth of Sauron has been...something else
made me very grateful I walked away from my promising career as a professional liar for hire
"I’m hoping that he’ll be able to get state insurance that will help cover some of the bills here. I’m ready to sell my house if I have to, to get him treatment in another country,” his wife said.
So far it hasn't mattered that Khamzat is caught up in the US sanctions on Kadyrov but it looks to me that
@ZidanSports
was dead to rights when he warned that those sanctions would impact the UFC and its Chechen fighter
🚨| According to
@arielhelwani
, the UFC’s top choice for the
#UFC300
main event would be Leon Edwards vs. Khamzat Chimaev.
Other bouts in contention include:
Dricus Du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya
DDP vs. Chimaev
Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad
The current holdup is Chimaev’s lack…
This is where Ari Emmanuel's betrayal of MMA really hurts.
The MMA movement had established as common knowledge that MMA was the alpha combat sport when Ari forced Conor to go for boxing $$ instead of raising the pay for MMA
Now we're having to remind people
@JuddLegum
The guy tried to overthrow the US Constitution, took billion dollar bribes from the Saudis and Chinese and we're prosecuting him for this? Pathetic.
Terrifying footage captured by Aljazeera’s cameraman in Jabaliya tonight -where IOF pounded the camp with over 100 bombs as quadcopters fired at civilians taking shelter in nearby schools. Safety is an illusion. Humanitarian zones a deception.

I used to be confused by racist libertarians but then I realized their definition of freedom includes the "right" to enslave and oppress others for profit.

You cannot "gotcha" fascists with allegations of hypocrisy. Fascism is a rejection of the rational order. Being a hypocrite is a flex.

And I must emphasize we're not blaming the fighters. It's the marketing of your product that really sucks.
You guys figured out how to blandify MMA and UFC
It's very hard to figure out WhoTF the fighters are and which ones are worth focusing on.
Though he's largely forgotten today, GSP's opponent Karo Parisyan was a serious talent, stylistic innovator (Judo throws!) and a top contender for several years.

Mississippi is a beautiful place with many wonderful people that has been ruled by some of Earth's most evil people since 1763. Its claim to fame is producing some of America's greatest music and literature. It needs to be liberated not burned.
The difference between the Zuffa era and the Endeavor era is this:
The Fertittas wanted to monopolize the sport.
Endeavor just wants to suck cash out of it.

Aye. The rot started when they saturated TV slots for TV money. But the real harm was the UFC actively sabotaging any fighter that had a following because they don't want to sit down with anyone with leverage. The quality of fighter they let walk, or push, is anti MMA.
One of the great rivalries. Shogun absolutely decoded Machida's tricky Shotokan-based style and brilliantly, definitely demystified him over two great fights.
A contract between Messi and Saudi’s tourism authority offers rare insight into their partnership:

“the liberalism of scolding will never give rise to the kind of mass movement that this country needs. It is almost entirely a politics of individual righteousness...Its appeal comes ...from the satisfaction of wagging a finger in some stupid proletarian’s face, forever...”
One thing about losing this job and being wished well in my job hunt -- I haven't gotten a job by applying since I was fresh out of college.
Every single job/gig/contract I've gotten since came through my social/business network. 🧵
Obama's decision to kneecap Bernie Sanders and impose Biden on us will go down as a disastrous and pivotal moment in history. There is a 0% Sanders would have been this pathetic.
Honestly, Joe Biden may go down as one of the worst, weakest presidents in history.
He epitomizes the sorry state of the Democratic Party — old, out of touch, ineffectual, beholden to special interests, and wasting time in the face of pressing crises.
Strong Weimar vibes.
It's beginning to dawn on me that very very few of the current

I hope these kids can hang on for the ride.

I'm also scared of getting long covid or my kids getting it. or getting cancer from covid-induced t-cell fatigue or having a covid-caused heart attack.

but every UFC fan knows that if Rogan is yelling "that submission is tight he's about to tap!" there is virtually zero chance of the submission being completed.
PS/ Rogan is an expert on MMA—that’s it. I’d listen to him on that topic.
Musk *also* has areas of expertise: (1) sealioning (Google it); (2) gaslighting; (3) destroying companies; (4) bad parenting; (5) taking credit for others’ good ideas; (6) cult construction and management.
Trump on why he picked Easter as the day he wants to end strict social distancing and reopen American businesses: "Easter is a very special day for me ... Easter Sunday, and you'll have packed churches all over our country."

Possibly all-time peak experience as a fight fan. I loved Frank. I HATED Tito. Great example of skill and smarts and conditioning over raw power and size.
