Hey all, some big news to share. I just got my 30 days notice that I’m being laid off from Vox along with and the rest of the staff. This has been an amazing 5 year run creating MMA Squared & Combat Wombat. No matter what happens, I’ll persevere.

This is a great fight. Santos made the champ look human for the first time in years and Blanchfield looks like the future of the division.

What promotion? I’ve seen the face off pic. But it’s not just this fight. Dana is the promotion at this point and his old routine came carry 42 events.

UFC is doing an ultra rare cross-division super fight and literally refusing to promote it. They truly have become the Neflix Of Fighting. They don’t care about stacking PPVs or doing huge numbers. They just care about fulfilling a quota of cards each year now.

No longer a *COVID workaround.

I think I’ve hit my limit for UFC Apex shows. I hate seeing fighters walk out between pipes and curtains, there’s no give & take between them and the crowd. They’re no longer a vivid workaround. They feel low budget.

I’m desperately searching for an old interview with Flea from RHCP where he unironically validates everything Patrice says here.

Patrice O’Neal’s take on what “Creep” by Radiohead does to white people, specifically at 59 seconds into the song, continues to be the single greatest opinion anyone has ever had about music

I second this emotion.

Replying to @FurysFightPicks
In my opinion. Absolutely ZERO top 5 fights should be scheduled at the Apex. Such a waste of a fighters potential growth and a dishonorable service to the fans

Developing a connection to the artist will become a more valuable route for creators and likely more rewarding for the appreciator.

I'll say again what I will doubtless be saying a million times in the coming years: Algorithmic feeds have pushed content creators to conform to the acceptable aesthetic and cultural average; A.I. generation will just automatically produce that average from the start

Dude walked into the UFC with a stated plan and he’s sticking to it. I can’t even fault this stance.

This is nuts. Could you go to jail for allowing your kids to watch Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire? Or watch Saturday Night Live?

A new intro'd bill in Arizona would criminalize drag in presence of a minor as a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a requirement to register as a sex offender. The bill defines drag as just singing and dancing while wearing make-up. legiscan.com/AZ/text/SB1698
