@relinquishedrse Same! Looking forward to it for months now 🙌

High hopes for this one .. love this poster.

@stylebender Good luck, Izzy! My house will be cheering for you on Saturday 🙌

Wassup twiggaz, long time. 🍿

Before diminishing someone's culture/beliefs consider that many people operate off divine inspiration. In a way, dismissing one discredits them all. Whether it's a placebo or not, their beliefs are all that get some people out of bed in the morning #create #positivevibes 🙌

@uncrownedcombat @TheNotoriousMMA Well SOMEONE has been watching Goodfellas lately . . . 😏 This a "Believe it when I see it" kinda topic. @ufc 🥊🥋

Return of the Mac? 👀 @TheNotoriousMMA

@arielhelwani Colby ALWAYS looks outsized in every matchup to me. Plus he goes too hard on his persona thing. It's never as appealing when someone TRIES that hard as opposed to being genuine. His best days in the @ufc slipped right by him. He should cut his losses & make a deal w/ MVP ASAP 🤔

"I want to wrestle Tsarukyan. That's a guy I used to beat up all the time at ATT—a little understudy who came to train just to get beaten by me in the gym. He’s someone I want to expose to the world and take down on the RAF mats, but the UFC is blocking that right now." - @ColbyCovMMA

I just noticed a strange detail: Caffeine is derived from plants and is inherently designed as a natural pesticide. LSD comes from mold, grown on wheat. Both are plant based deterrents that have a mix of desirable & overwhelming reactions in humans #psychedelics #botany 🤔

@acdmma_ @danawhite I approve this message 🙌

🚨 alright baldy listen up @danawhite, we need to get this sport BACK on track, here’s how we do it, hear me out: - No more UFC Apex cards unless it’s DWCS, former UFC champions shouldn’t be fighting in front of 200 people - referees need to be stricter on stalling, if you haven’t advanced a position in over a minute and aren’t causing damage, you should be stood up/separated from holding on the fence - better fight night cards and cards in general, the quality is really dropping these days - bring back the UFC Thrill and the Agony, that show was one of the best things the UFC ever made - any UFC heavyweight that returns a negative drug test is suspended for 6 months, we do not want clean athletes in that division anymore, we have had enough - give Arman Tsarukyan a fight, he is one of the most talked about fighters in the UFC at the moment - the BMF title should be thrown away, or should be officiated under custom rules where stalling is prohibited - remove Colby Covington from the UFC rankings, the last time that mf won a fight, Glover Teixeira was UFC champion and Alex Pereira was fighting on UFC Apex cards - if you haven’t defended the UFC title in 1 year for a no good reason, it’s an automatic strip, no interims, no matter who you are - no second or third warnings from referees, second foul = point deduction - stop picking TUF coaches who like eachother, TUF coaches who hate each other is what made the show fun - sign Muhammad Mokaev back, his final UFC fight was boring but it doesn’t mean he wasn’t a finisher, the flyweight division needs as much help as it can get - less IG live announcements, bring Aldo vs McGregor level trailers back, MASSIVE fights should not be announced on a random IG live on a Thursday evening - do face to face interviews between fighters who have a rivalry like Jon Jones and DC used to do back in the day, they can sell a fight massively and are extremely entertaining - a completely brand new set of media members that vote on UFC rankings, Colby Covington being currently ranked and Tai Tuivasa appearing in rankings from time to time is an embarrassment to the sport - either give Jon Jones a fight with a backup fighter in place, or just cut him, if he is the GOAT then just give him a fight ffs. There is no reason why the Alex Pereira fight shouldn’t have happened in the age of backup fighters

@michaelpollan @anilkseth Currently I'm watching "How to change etc." on @netflix I have a question, Michael: Watching this reminds me of my times with LSD. To this day there are certain things that affect me differently despite it being decades ago. Is this something you've experienced or noted?

Thanks for a great and enlighten evening, @anilkseth

#create 🙌

@SlickNicDB And why is it only $9.52 . . . yeah, avoid this one at all cost 😂

What do you mean "Working"

@sleepyserenade @MovieMadnessPDX A thing of beauty 🙌 HAVE FUN!

Grandpa has been taking me to Movie Madness since I was 4 years old. Now I’m 29 and he’s still taking me here 💚 @MovieMadnessPDX

@KoalaQuillHQ By all means! I'm the last person to begrudge anyone their Internet therapy 🙌

@ACrowleybeast Aw, shucks. Now I can't get angry at strangers on the Internet??

Another day, another chance to grow! Remember, having someone to talk to doesn't always mean you need to purge every negative detail of your day to them. Sometimes meet them w/ positivity, save some of the energy you give everyone else for them as well #mondayvibes 🙌♥️

@RealEmirHan That was some rather funny shit . . . I think I kinda needed that 😂🤣

Quentin Tarantino said Leonardo DiCaprio really improvised this reaction in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. “That was all improvised and wasn't written in the script.” Brad Pitt said “And I will go on record, it is one of the best meltdowns laid on film.”

@criscyborg @RondaRousey 😂 Yeah, this is getting ridiculous . . .

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Crazy world we live in “The Establishment” is who protected @RondaRousey from getting KO’d by me and now she’s doing it “for the fighters”

@arielhelwani I highly doubt Dana and his team were trying to sign #RouseyCarano of all people 🤨 Anyone else buying this . . .

We finally got the answer to a long-standing mystery yesterday. Remember when Dana White said in December 2024, “I’ve got something in the works right now. It’ll drive you f*ckers crazy.”* We finally figured it out. It was Ronda x Gina. Ronda said the plan was for this fight to headline the final PPV card on ESPN. Another big fight the UFC didn’t close the deal on.

@ChaelSonnen Chael, Why do fighters who only show up every few years & spend YEARS negotiating rather than performing feel entitled to larger paydays than ACTIVE athletes? If the @ufc & @paramountplus have money to spend, shouldn't it be on performing athletes who contribute to the sport? 🤔

Mark

@MMAUNCENSORED1 @AspinallMMA Because he only fights once every few years and wants a retirement level payday 🤨 ACTIVE athletes deserve the lions portion of the this 4 year Paramount contract, not fighters who negotiate for YEARS and may only perform once during the entire 4 year contract . . .

Tom Aspinall defends Jon Jones and fighter pay in the UFC: “Why is the UFC not giving Jon the respect financially?”

@RobbieBarstool 😂 I know, right?! What an ass . . . Why do these people who only fight every few years keep going on about fighter pay when they're NOT even ACTIVE fighters 🤨 Jones, Conor, Rousey only want to fight once every few years (if that), but expect more money than active athletes 🤔

So far Ronda’s trashed UFC fighter pay, made weird ass remarks about Gina Carano being overweight and wanting to “help her” with this fight, slut shamed Valentina Shevchenko, and talked about Cyborg being a steroid cheat to sell this fight 🤨 Interesting strategy
