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

“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.

Thanks to @christhefriend.bsky.social for coming on the pod for the latest episode of FIGHT FILMS. Today we’re discussing the awesome martial arts tournament film THE QUEST (1996) which features UFC/Pride FC//WWFUWF-i/and fuckin’ YOKOZUNA Koji Kitao. And capoeira.

I don’t even remember ordering this

My Fluid Thoughts for #UFCVegas116 went up late, but I’m hitting you with a full slate… Southpaw stats, Apex records for every fighter on the card, as well as my picks, plays and analysis – all free: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

I recently re-watched “THE KILLER,” so you know what album I’m rocking today:

My latest Fluid Thoughts is up, where I breakdown picks, plays and analysis for #UFCWinnipeg and #CFFC153: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

Me every time I pour myself a coffee alone at home

I see Costa doing well against a southpaw and I think about the analysis of @dantommma.bsky.social

Arrow mail day (except MallRats was extinct print and ordered via eBay and the package damaging shows🤦🏽‍♂️)

#UFC327 is chalked full of live underdogs and volatile matchups alike… It’s a tricky card to approach, but I found a decent amount of spots I like as I’m aiming to keep my current streak going. Picks, plays, southpaw stats and analysis: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

In case you miss hearing me break down fights via podcasts, my guy @feno.bsky.social invited me on The Fight Site Presents YouTube channel to break down the entirety of #UFC327: www.youtube.com/live/yz9RLnt...

Been 3 years since I’ve been home (Hawaii)… Really feel like I should be back there on what’s my 1st vacation in 2 years but life ain’t fair like that. At least I’ve been able to get a lot of things done that have stacked up these past couple years.

Finally came in

I’ll be finally taking time off from MMA for the 1st time in over 2 yrs, so this will be the last Fluid Thoughts/picks post/podcast that I’ll be doing for a while… Better late than never as the #UFCLondon breakdown portion of the pod is just under an hr (and free👇) open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

Asian dude got played off when accepting his Oscar, huh? You don’t say.

Might have time this weekend to finally start writing about my favorite films from last yr and hoping that it helps spark some creative juices for some more fruitful endeavors… Also cleared to train again despite my wrist tear… Good things hopefully ahead in both those arenas

Did an impromptu pod that went longer than I thought, but I shared some thoughts on the recent bad news and what’s next for me, as well as my usual stats and analysis for cards like #CFFC151 and #UFCVegas114, in my latest Fluid Thoughts (which is free to subscribe👇) open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

New Past Lives: Why Slavery Matters. Our final episode of the first season looks back at why it's essential to understand the sheer scope of slavery, how fragile the idea of human value really is, and why we can never go back. www.pod.link/1852618120/e...

Well, to the surprise of some and delight of many, my time with the Dog Or Pass Pod is over. It was just as much a surprise to me as it was to you that I even got the shot, but I was immensely grateful to Pat Mayo for the opp and gave my best. Please support the show and my guy Mad Lab MMA. 1/3

my inner-monologue most days

Dan really nails it in this article

Yup. Lots of reasons for what we’re seeing with the UFC, frankly… In fact, I wrote a column explaining said things last year that’s age incredibly well via @mmajunkie.bsky.social: mmajunkie.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Why are we defending the most overrated burger joint again?

These last couple weeks have brought about some of the loneliest feelings I’ve felt in some time… From seeing where the communities I’m a part of stand to seeing where I stand in my MMA/work communities –I’m about to have it all affirmed once my detractors find out I lost one of my jobs this week…

#UFC326 is special for me considering that the 1st fight between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira was the 1st fight I ever broke down publicly via MixedMartialAnalyst.com Kinda embarrassing to go back and look, but proud to be doing this for a decade +: mixedmartialanalyst.com/ufc-fight-ni...

Despite absolutely exhausted over the insanely stupid discourse over tics and Tourette’s in and out of the MMA space, I manage to push out my (not so) Fluid Thoughts for #UFC326 Picks, plays, analysis and southpaw stats for the entire card: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...

my inner-monologue most days

Missing the community that I feel I helped contribute to this week MMA-wise, this is a big milestone/reflection on how long I’ve been doing this Outside of MMA, this past week is reminding me just how much adversity I had to push though as I’m genuinely surprised I’m still here

Mark Shapiro's commentary at the Morgan Stanley Tech Conference left plenty open to interpretation, so @heynottheface.bsky.social & I discussed it at length in today's episode. There's a lot more & you can listen at the link. 2/2 heynottheface.substack.com/p/antitrust-...

“I understand Tourette’s is a disease but I still know he’s racist because of his tics” is the new “I’m not racist BUT…”

Hope this doesn’t come off as disingenuous, assumptive or misplaced, but I feel like the hypocrisies I’ve been posting about is not lost on the gay & trans communities—whom I imagine are sadly all too familiar with hate, hypocrisy and the bs hierarchies applied to/by human beings of all backgrounds.

What about POC’s w/Tourette’s like me? I’m not white & hate Trump. And allegedly mocking? lol. Not only did he mock John, he literally threatened folks with Tourette’s with violence as the room applauded. Unlike John/ppl with Tourette’s, Deon has control of his words and still chose to be an asshole
