Coming to a bookstore near you, immediately after I die. If you're reading this, you might be in it!

I previewed every UFC card for 6 years. I walked away 6 weeks ago, and already this feels like a short wave radio dispatch from some remote island in the Pacific...one I'm not really dying to visit. Did this get garbled in transmission? Did it cut out before the main event?
The UFC has reshuffled almost the complete bout order for this Saturday. Here is the up-to-date bout order for #UFCVegas121.

I texted back and forth with @KeithShillanMMA about fights the other day. Baby steps, my friends, baby steps. Meanwhile I'm finally finished with my first novel and will probably launch it via Kickstarter rather than give Amazon such a huge bite of the cookie.

Thank you, Keith, for all the quality content you’ve produced over the years. This really sucks. And regarding @jaypettry ... his departure is legitimately a major loss. Jay worked tirelessly to protect the integrity of Sherdog’s record-keeping. His efforts didn’t only benefit Sherdog. On numerous occasions, his investigations led to corrections and improvements in Tapology’s own records. Tapology and Sherdog compete for users and traffic, but behind both sites are real people who share the same passion for making combat sports databases accurate and reliable. Jay no longer doing that work at Sherdog is a loss for everyone who cares about the integrity of the sport’s historical record.

Ah, Dagestan. A republic with three million people and one barber...and that barber only has a No. 4 guard.

MMA draws should just go from Round 3 (or 5) straight into a power slap match. That would be the equivalent of penalty kicks. – at Aldine, TX

The online fan freakout against Spain's suffocating game plan just sounds like 100,000,000 Diaz brothers complaining about getting outwrestled. – at Aldine, TX

That kick was pure hubris. Insane to throw something so wildly ridiculous, especially at a pro champion like Max. It is also poetic that Conor literally got physically destroyed by his own ego in 5 seconds. Flew too high, instantly melted Henceforth known as: The Icarus kick

Houston, you need to pay attention right now. You need to get yourself to the City Council meeting this Tuesday and tell the mayor exactly what you think of this and what you want him to do. It is your job to speak up. 🧵
Houston: the federal government is claiming that they put armed officers on your streets without body cameras and that they can shoot you in the street without providing any video footage of what happened and your mayor is lying and telling you the city can't even investigate it

To be clear: it is the job of Houston's city, county, state and federal officials to make sure that video footage is released and that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's family gets the truth about what happened
