I was a Division I wrestler and professional mixed martial artist. I now coach MMA fighters. I have a life outside of MMA, as well. But this account is 95% combat sports.

i just finished the great book about the Iranian Revolotion, King of Kings. This is pretty much its thesis. The Revolution came very slowly, and then all at once.

This and the 10 unanswered chair shots to a handcuffed Mick Foley. Mick might have forgiven him. But it was unforgivable.

The UFC did something similar with Greg Hardy. The commentators would talk about how he’s trying to move on with his life - as if he had done anything to apologize or grow or make amends for what he did

I spoke with the journalist doing the best coverage of the attempt to destroy the Ali Act in Congress. We discuss how decisive Nico Ali Walsh's disappointing turn is for TKO, why lefty media ignored the story completely and where things stand with the bill: lthomas.substack.com/p/boxing-ali...

Nobody believes me, but he blames the great crime wave on Woodstock in Better Angels. I’m convinced I’m the only person who actually read that awful book.

A recent poll had Benson up 10 and AES up four. Plus, we have more examples of opposition party members winning governorships in deep red and deep blue states than winning senate seats.

I think it’s fair to say that Tom Cruise is known primarily (but not exclusively) for action movies. If that premise is accepted, I think he is the answer

It‘s insane to take an absolute stand on this, IMO. In some cases, going no contact is the obviously appropriate. And other cases where it’s not. The only absolute rule seems to be: try to be thoughtful about what choice you make!

Oh, sorry, wasn’t trying to suggest your quote was Israetel, or that you missed what he previously said. I was supporting your point by saying Israetel is also doing it!

Absolutely despicable corner work in that fight. No boxing corner would have let Goff come out of the corner

Any boxing corner would have stopped the Miller fight before the third started. Pathetic corner work.

Hard to find a better way to show your skill level is very likely/actually low and you fundamentally misunderstand martial arts than Jonah Hill has.

I'm skeptical there's any appetite for another McGregor fight after this. The current fanbase didn't experience when he was electric, they've only seen him injure himself or quit pathetically.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

I took some time to process the politics of UFC White House. While Josh Hokit's rancid comments about Michelle Obama dominated headlines, the event also revealed the union of corporate power, AI surveillance tech, patriotism theater, hegemonic militarism and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=to03...
