If you're looking for an inspirational story at UFC Winnipeg, look no further than Jamie Siraj (14-3 Pro). After winning 8 of his first 10 professional MMA bouts, Siraj was forced into a medically induced coma & sidelined from competing for 4 years with Hyper IGE Syndrome 💔 Since he returned in 2023, he has posted a 6-1 pro record with 4 wins via stoppage. Now he returns to 135lb. for the first time since 2019 looking to earn his 3rd straight win. Each of his last two wins came via second round rear naked choke.

@andressmall88 @pablofindsout @PabloTorre Yet here you are pouting like a bitch about it.

@pablofindsout @PabloTorre @lthomasnews Lololololol imagine listening to anything this clown has to say. He hates his job, hates himself, hates the fighters, hates the sport, hates the UFC, highly questionable stolen valor background & total LAUGHINGSTOCK of the MMA community. Nice job 😂

@handwraps_ @andressmall88 @pablofindsout @PabloTorre Not a hint of it. It’s total bullshit. By all means fact check any claim I’ve made. They never bother because at the end of that process is them realizing everything I’ve said is true and they wasted their time. My existence is triggering to losers. Please understand that.

@andressmall88 @pablofindsout @PabloTorre @lthomasnews Stolen Valor is a pretty serious accusation - is there any validity to this?

"If there's one lesson I've learned in MMA, and combat sports generally, is that I'm not sure how much people care about the athletes." —@LThomasNews sits down with @PabloTorre to talk about who really benefits from favor-trading in the fight game

Pablo Torre finally found out who's been stinking up the studio @lthomasnews

No, the US government should not be giving a contract to a cage fighting company that the president's son invested in. Thanks for asking. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

“As Live Nation has pitched to Wall Street, its greatest advantage is the “flywheel” model of its interconnected businesses, in which an ever-increasing supply of concert tours fuel higher-margin transactions like ticket sales and sponsorship deals.”

🚨 Ronda Rousey just announced that the MINIMUM purse for any fighter on the MVP MMA card is $40K 👀 "The absolute minimum that anyone will walk away with... even if they lose, is $40K. If you fight three times in a year, that's much more than a living wage. That's something the UFC cannot say." 😬

World is focused on LIV Golf today. But the actual report could mean they pull back from sports except the World Cup. This could mean the end for this era of the Saudi Pro League and for what they’ve done in boxing. Reminder that SELA owns 60% of Zuffa boxing.
