If you woke up tomorrow a UFC champion, what is the first thing you will do???

Ethan Hawke tells Sydney Sweeney his unique method for memorizing massive amounts of dialogue by treating it like a personal journal. ​"What I do, and I started doing this a really long time ago, I handwrite everything like it's my journal. When I'm memorizing, I'm not memorizing from a typewritten final draft page. I don't want to have that in my brain, and I don't want irrelevant stage directions to be part of it." ​"And then I do it again to see what I remember and what I don't remember. I try to write it from memory. And then I look, and I see what I got wrong. That process really helps me." ​"Then I try to record it with no acting. I listen, when I if I think I have it, I take three pages or something and you try to learn that. And then I look at the script and see what I got wrong." ​"Jon Voight taught me this when I was like 19, which is you unlace your shoe, and you have to do the speech lacing your shoe. If I'm trying to remember, then it's difficult to do. Until you can do that, until you can do other things, you don't really know it."

Probably the most overlooked ingredient to Zuffa Boxing's potential longterm success is fighters being suckers.

I'm not shocked at all on the inside. But from the outside, it this insane or what? The managers, supposedly there for the fighters, testify for UFC management against the fighters when you already have had the fighters benefit greatly from the first settlement. If you were not in the MMA bubble you'd look at this as insane.

🚨 Dustin Poirier just released a statement following the release of the body cam footage of his arrest: “Im at the point where I need some help, walking away from fighting hasn't been easy on me and alcohol isn't the answer. It has ruined my father's life and I will not allow it to ruin mine, my family deserve me at 100%. I'm trying to do everything I can to get my mind right and take the right next steps.”

Fans will simultaneously say that fighters need to unionize for higher pay while bashing them for turning down contracts because they did not get paid enough. If all top fighters do what Topuria and Jon Jones did UFC will eventually have to pay out the big bucks for big fights
