MMA Junkie, MMA Fighting and Uncrowned had zero mention of the Anti-Ali Act in their Zuffa boxing signs with Paramount stories. That's not a great sign on how they will cover this promotion...

C'mon now... Because I know at least one person who lost his job because of criticizing Dana White... "Dana White: No One Should Lose Their Job Over Criticism of Charlie Kirk"

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Combat sports folks after seeing a softball interview with Dana White: I hold journalists to a different standard if I like that person.

Reminds me of when Helwani was getting all those "exclusives" Combat sports media is the shits Man works for CBS / Paramount

You'd think more folks would speak up, but I guess they'll wait and see if they get invited to the next one...

Combat sports sites covering the Zuffa Boxing Paramount Plus thing - will they also mention the Anti-Ali Act these dirtbags are pushing?

I'm sure this Dana White 60 Minutes story on CBS/Paramount Plus will be some hard-hitting investigative journalism...

Song of the day: Wayne Kramer: Back to Detroit

Let's go one more round with this piece. I just returned from Dublin and Belfast. If the NFL thinks that Ireland is thrilled to see them land on their country, they are sorely mistaken. The crowd is US-based Steelers fans with too much disposable income. Abundance! www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Fucking woke...

Rereading this and yeah, if you like Chris Offutt, Daniel Woodrell, Harry Crews, and Flannery O'Connor, but think, yeah, if only it was a little darker, well, this is your man...

Governor Kim Reynolds, "We must enforce the law, every time, to protect our families and our future.”

Deadline doing its own version of The Onion?

"things comedians have been told they weren’t allowed to talk about, including jokes “that may be considered to degrade, defame, or bring into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, embarrassment, or ridicule” Saudi Arabia, its ruling government, royal family, or any religion or religious figure..."

Song of the day: Bryce Franich - The Gilded Masks of God

You probably read this when it came out, but Kaleb worked his ass off on this and was justly proud of it. Imagine all the dickheads on payrolls right now that couldn’t write this if you gave them a millennium www.vox.com/the-highligh...

I'm sure these folks, some of who are among the Rogan-sphere of "free speech warriors," were not given a list of certain topics that were off limits for this gig...

C'mon now... "Naming some guys"? Pondering some folks How about these fellas? Hey, remember me? You won't believe who we recall today

No words. I believed in Ryan. We moved to Oklahoma because he promised that my awful sons Enigmus Rex and Pance would be given handguns in kindergarten and then not be given any instruction on how to use them safely. I bought a shitty gray house in Tulsa because he promised they wouldn't be woke.

Man took paychecks from the UFC...

Folks, what kind of person describes the first Black wrestler to win Olympic Gold as an "alleged Olympic gold medalist"? These dudes are edgelord benchwarmers.

No one in the UFC access media has pushed Dana White and the UFC as to why they keep giving this man fights. He's been arrested 14 times (according to MMA Junkie) over the years.

"Brendon, there's nothing wrong with lying to women. Or the government. Or your parents. Or God. All right?"

Didn't know they were this popular in 2025, "...as I stood in front of a Television crowd of millions of people..." Probably disappointed that Trump was on the bill.

C'mon now, this isn't even close to being true, which is something a self-described "musicologist" would know. Perhaps this falls under the "amateur folklorist" part of the profile...

It's kind of wild that Von's comeback for something he is on video saying, is, "Hey bud, pay me for my content."

The wheels are falling off the Joe Rogan bandwagon.

Mr. Von, how would you like us to take this statement of yours? “Heard you got deported dude. Bye!”

These guys losing podcast listeners as things turn against the administration? What a shame...

This is cracking me up every time I think about it. Imagine if someone the MMA sphere was unafraid of said this. That person would get dragged for their hubris, and deserve it. But not bully pulpit Helwani...

Never surround yourself with people who can't or won't tell you when you're being an egotistical asshole.

It's the modesty I appreciate the most. "“Howard [Stern] is the king of all media, and I felt like for better or worse. It’s not like I’m mad about it. But I feel like I’ve had a chip on my shoulder,” said Helwani. “I’ve always felt like the uncrowned king of media."

Write a piece glorifying Helwani, make sure not to mention that he was on the UFC payroll while working for FOX...

Everyone's favorite recently kicked in the dick and balls UFC fighter, Sedriques Dumas, is on the court docket for 9/24.

I'm legit surprised Shaun King hasn't tried to make inroads in the MMA world...

It must be tiring to be on the "pumping tires for total shitbags" beat, but MMA has some folks that cover that specific lane...

Imagine what it must be like to be this gullible

Do you even lift?

Why Defector is intervening to make public a confidential document in the Tyreek Hill case: defector.com/why-defector...

I'd say these three morally bankrupt fighters are a good representation of the UFC and administration.

It's particularly the case among the Americans who are paid to decide which news is important, and who despite everything still can't bring themselves to accurately describe the fact that the president is serially murdering people and our systems are unable to stop him

Things I find while walking the dog...

I knew a guy whose dad hated rock music. The only song he ever liked was "I Fought the Law." He was a shady dude who did a lot of illegal stuff, like pretending to be a family doctor. Never did time.

hit him with a jumping knee though

Things I find while walking the dog

C'mon now... This is what the UFC event at the White House is imagined as...

When you couple stupidity and blind confidence you can accomplish anything — if you have billionaire friends who need a dancing monkey for a mascot.

Dana White to Logan Paul: "Show me one protest that's ever accomplished anything..."
