Top former-NCAA wrestlers not signed to a major MMA promotion as of August 2025: 🧵

Good time to be a free agent we’ve heard of before.

@Criterion How did I do? 🫣

@remarkablepoti2 @Criterion Check again

@Criterion Network already out of stock. Preposterous.

@alejandroxpadi I totally respect this. However, I have a family and work long hours. I love the online experience of finding out when the pre-order opens up, pre-ordering, seeing that it shipped, and rushing to the mailbox when it gets delivered.

Part of the fun of collecting is going to find in person! I don’t like ordering online unless it’s absolutely last resort, I also had some rewards to use

Seems like a win-win, honestly. AVENGERS gets IMAX for its opening weekend, DUNE doesn’t have to split its opening weekend with another giant, both still get the benefits of a full holiday corridor. INFINITY WAR and ENDGAME both moved up a week from their original release dates.

@tvBartonek @Tompoopcruise That like 4 entertaining fights. That’s not bad relative to UFC FN cards these days.

@Tompoopcruise I have more fingers on one hand than entertaining fights on this card. You’re putting the cape on for another company just because it’s different to do so lol

Miren donde pelearon Kyoji Horiguchi y Manel Kape en su primer encuentro, y donde va a suceder la revancha. Las diferencias, no?

🚨 BREAKING: Manel Kape vs Kyoji Horiguchi will headline #UFCVegas119 on June 20 (via @MMAJunkie)

Warner Bros. spent $1.2 billion to make all eight Harry Potter films. The new TV series reportedly costs $100 million per episode, which would make it the most expensive TV show ever produced. Amazon’s Rings of Power cost $58 million per episode. House of the Dragon, $20 million. Game of Thrones started at $6 million. HBO has planned seven seasons, one for each book, eight episodes per season. That’s 56 episodes. If the per-episode budget holds, the total production cost lands around $5.6 billion. Nearly 5x what all eight original films cost to make, and roughly three-quarters of what the entire franchise has earned at the box office ($7.7 billion) across 25 years. Three weeks ago, Paramount Skydance signed a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery for $31 per share, valuing the company at $110 billion including debt. Netflix was bidding too but walked away in late February. Harry Potter sits next to Game of Thrones and the DC Universe as one of the most valuable assets in that deal. WBD has about 132 million Max subscribers today and is projecting 150 million by December. The original films returned almost 7x their production budget at the box office. Generating that kind of return through monthly streaming subscriptions requires a completely different scale of audience, sustained over a decade. They’re reportedly building a “mini city” in the UK specifically for filming, with a price tag around $1.3 billion. A school is being constructed on-site for the child actors. Hans Zimmer is scoring the series. Over 30,000 kids auditioned for three roles. The average Harry Potter film cost $144 million to produce. A single episode of the new series reportedly costs $100 million. Warner Bros. is betting over $5 billion that a streaming franchise can match what a theatrical one did.

This is where Avengers: Doomsday should move. They will get IMAX screens for a week. The film will leg out during Christmas, and Jumanji will also benefit from that date. What are you guys waiting for, @MarvelStudios?

Over the last year, four players have beaten Carlos Alcaraz before the final... None won their next match: Miami 2025 - Goffin loses to Nakashima ❌ Paris 2025 - Norrie loses to Vacherot ❌ Indian Wells 2026 - Medvedev loses to Sinner ❌ Miami 2026 - Korda loses to Landaluce ❌

They really covered every angle with this card. Huge names, elite free-agents (Parnasse/Mokaev), goofy & violent HW bout (Despaigne/JDS), solid prospects (Mgoyan/Fazil), veterans (Larkin/Jackson). They even got Poatan’s sister. Well done by MVP.

This is about as good a card as a promotion could build with what is currently available to them. Also nice to see some Canadian flavour with 🇨🇦@jademassonwong added to the card.
