There’s a ton of MMA across the board this weekend but #UFCOKC & #CFFC157 has my complete attention considering my usual beats… There’s a surprising amount that I like and I share it all for free below, giving out everything from southpaw stats to matchup analysis: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

Send word to my enemies: do not mistake my weakness for kindness.

Almost a yr later and I still haven’t had time to digest everything involved with turning 40, but I have had hauntingly reinforced realizations that I largely wasted my 30s slaving away under the false guise of Grindset while getting gaslit/putting up with shit I didn’t need to.

Pangtor starting rd 2 off with that bodywork! @dantommma.bsky.social bless!

Death, taxes, and my dog throwing up right in the middle of my indoor workout spot right before I intend to work out…

On the ground/out on the streets for #UFC329…

Today marks 1 year without my best friend… Miss you, Benji boy.

Another holiday spent alone and grinding away on work… And after these last 3 years of it in particular, I’m definitely reframing my relationship with the word “deserve.”

Happy Fourth of July, kiddos

Looks like I’m gonna have to wait about 10 post it’s release, but I got tickets to see #TheOdyssey in 70mm IMAX (at least the best version of it that Las Vegas has to offer anyway) I’ve been bad about getting to the theaters this year (crazy busy) but I can’t miss this one.

Aside from breaking down my usual segments for #UFCBaku, I also gave out some picks and plays for tonight’s #CFFC156 card in my latest edition of Fluid Thoughts👇 I leaned into some things that you’d suspect from me, but I also ended up breaking my one betting rule… open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

Not a lot of ✍️ in this week’s edition of Fluid Thoughts, but I got you covered with Apex, rematch and southpaw stats for #UFCVegas119, including my usual picks & plays. *Interesting note—this card features the most winless Contender Series alum I’ve tracked yet. open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

I’ve quietly been doing more interview work lately for Home of Fight’s YouTube channel… Here’s an interview I did with Manel Kape, who headlines #UFCVegas119 opposite Kyoji Horiguchi: youtu.be/JFsw94F-LRI?...

Another life ago

My Fluid Thoughts for #UFCFreedom250 features everything from an in-depth podcast packed with solid analysts, southpaw stats, picks, plays and some fun, gif-filled analysis covering the entire card. Check it out if you’re bored or interested in betting: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

ICYMI: I was lucky enough to be invited on a roundtable with some talented analysts to break down #UFCFreedom250 Probably the most in-depth breakdown in the card from a technical perspective: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

Every time I see someone sensationalizing dog attack stories involving pit bulls, I can’t help but wonder if they’re the same type of person who likes to point out crime when it’s done by a person of color (both disgusting btw) Makes me miss my best friend even more. The best 🐶

Yeah, actually. You get diminishing returns after ~45 hours worked per week, you can get away with more than that infrequently as long as you schedule in days off.

Question for those of you who *actually* have no days off and work 60-80hr weeks on average: is it normal for your brain to just turn into mush some days and you can’t work productively no matter how hard you try? Asking for a friend…

Better late than never but I just dropped a fully-loaded FLUID THOUGHTS (|!nked below👇) that’s packed with podcast links, picks, plays, Apex and southpaw stats and more for #UFCVegas118 open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

@dantommma.bsky.social is good people and you should read his stuff!

Hard enough to preserve sanity on UFC Asia weeks given all the ignorant/uncreative jokes that substitute as analysis in this space, but I am looking to preserve my bankroll at #UFCMacau behind the normal legwork I cont to put in (to no cred from the gambling crowd) open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

Wild shit over on MMA Twitter makes me realize how much I’ve been out of the loop on via not being in the right group chats

Salahdine Parnasse stops Kenneth Cross with some lovely body work. @dantommma.bsky.social bless!

He just passed a car for going too slow. Make him catch every red light so that the guy he passed ends up right next to him. Make him feel the other driver’s smug satisfaction.

Mike Perry, who faces Nate Diaz at #MVPMMA1, is officially 1-4 opposite notable southpaws in MMA (W: D. Roberts; L: D. Rodriguez, A. Jouban, G. Neal, T. Means) He also fought and beat Luke Rockhold at #BKFC41, but left crosses remain Perry’s common culprit. #TheSouthpawReport

Better late than never (wanted to get something out since last week’s slate aged so nicely) Picks, plays, southpaw stats and Apex records for #UFCVegas117 and #MVPMMA1: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

“He finally had a good night gambling. Make his timeline focus on the 2 fights he got wrong and sprinkle in some Pantoja disrespect to really trigger him.”

The problem with the “today is the day to do X” or “I can’t do X until I do X 1st” mindsets is that, at least in my experience, pitfalls wait around almost every corner, creating butterfly effects that keep me off course Anyway, today’s been spent trying to get a stuck 📷🔋out

Mendoza hits LaRucci with a clean hook to the body that backs LaRucci off. @dantommma.bsky.social bless.

really enjoyed your takes on some of my favorite (read: non-cookie cutter) fighters to watch and some intriguing matchups in this one. thanks for the work as always!

#UFC328 features a slew of competitive striker vs. grappler matchups that is sure to reveal our biases as bettors and prognosticators alike… There’s definitely a theme in how I’m attacking the board this weekend in my latest Fluid Thoughts (free and linked below👇) open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

Better late than never, but my FLUID THOUGHTS for #UFCPerth is now up: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm... Video clips, analysis, southpaw stats, picks and plays for the entire card, all free of charge.

Yuki Yoza seems like a kickboxer made for @dantommma.bsky.social to love. All attritional damage. Body Punchers of the world UNITE!

The main event for #UFCPerth between Jack Della Maddalena and Carlos Prates might be MMA’s best current parallel for boxing’s Hagler-Hearns… It’s not often I get this excited for a fight, but I really poured my heart into this one and hope you read my latest: mmajunkie.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Emotional day at the movies but worth it. #ISWEAR

A very enjoyable listen! Also, excited to hear the Rocky episode with @dantommma.bsky.social whenever you guys can get to it.
