On today’s episode of Hey Not The Face! @CrooklynMMA and I go over yesterday’s congressional hearing on the new Muhammad Ali Enhancement Act (as Nick Khan refers to it.) Who spoke, what was said, and what do we think is going to happen next? open.substack.com/pub/heynotth...

Yesterday's Ali Act Congressional hearing had a lot to be concerned about but it did have a high note & plenty of robber-baron-style comedic moments (Lawrence Epstein is unintentionally funny). @heynottheface.bsky.social goes over everything in detail & gives letter grades for all. 1/2

This Day in Labor History: November 10, 1933. Workers at the Hormel plant in Austin, Minnesota sat down on the job. The win these workers achieved helped set up the labor militancy of the New Deal era that revolutionized the lives of American labor!!!!

On today's episode of Hey Not The Face! @crooklyn.bsky.social and I welcome the legendary Lou DiBella to discuss the current state of boxing, its potential future and what went wrong in the past that led us to where we are today. open.substack.com/pub/heynotth...

Plaintiffs in Johnson (as well as Davis & Cirkunovs) v Zuffa want the Judge to know the Defendants are missing documents. For example, Dana White & Tracy Long have apparently lost years of text messages and emails even though they should have been preserving all docs since 2014.

I just finished this and it's hilarious. New drinking game: Take a shot every time Lou DiBella says he's not losing sleep or he doesn't care. You will probably die of alcohol poisoning.

Why is Aspinall (or any UFC fighter looking to cross over) likely never to make "big boxing money"? How can Zuffa Boxing skirt the Ali Act if their bill doesn't pass? Can Ari Emanuel work his magic to get brother Rahm elected in 2028? @heynottheface.bsky.social & I discuss this & more. 1/2

Congrats to @heynottheface.bsky.social and @crooklyn.bsky.social for the 200th episode. That's an accomplishment! Also, it's 2025 and we are still discussing eye pokes. Some things just never change. 😆

Are boxing promoters underestimating the power that Zuffa Boxing will wield if/when the new Ali Act bill passes? @heynottheface.bsky.social & I discuss it & how @lukethomas.bsky.social is correct about UFC intentionally being right wing, & more. heynottheface.substack.com/p/are-boxing...

On today’s episode of Hey Not The Face! @crooklyn.bsky.social discuss if boxing promoters are taking Zuffa too lightly, what kind of impact Lina Khan discussing combat sports can have, bad arguments about the Ali Act & more heynottheface.substack.com/p/are-boxing...

Regardless of what I think of this Revival Act, I gotta say, it is crafted really well. Super sneaky Trojan Horse stuff. They really know what they're doing. Which is why I only have the worst case scenario in my head for how boxing will get monopolized if this gets passed. They're too good at it.

Hey yo! @heynottheface.bsky.social & I have got a brand new episode breaking down our thoughts on Andy Foster's interview with Ariel Helwani. Did I mention there's no paywall? That's right, folks, it's FREE! heynottheface.substack.com/p/response-t...

No paywall for today’s episode of Hey Not The Face! as @crooklyn.bsky.social and I go over Andy Foster’s statements on the MMA Hour regarding his support of the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act. open.substack.com/pub/heynotth...

On today’s episode of Hey Not The Face! @crooklyn.bsky.social and I go over Wednesday’s CSAC meeting on the American Boxing Revival Act and ask if the CSAC sold out boxing? (That is a rhetorical question.) heynottheface.substack.com/p/did-csac-s...

The CSAC is meeting tomorrow at 10 AM PST for "Discussion and Possible Action regarding the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act (H.R.4624).” For anyone wishing to witness the meeting or participate during public comments follow the instructions: www.dca.ca.gov/csac/meeting...

On today's episode of Hey Not The Face! @crooklyn.bsky.social & I discuss how we should view the Le settlement now that payments are going out, what to expect at the CSAC meeting on the new Ali Act legislation, and BTIG's positive report on TKO & UFC's finances. open.substack.com/pub/heynotth...

The GLF news is the laugh I needed. There's more chance of me training 6 months of sprawling and then becoming a UFC champ than on GLF ever putting on an actual fight event.

On today’s episode of Hey Not The Face! @crooklyn.bsky.social & I discuss Judge Boulware signing the settlement distribution, Alex Pereira’s star power & how much that plays in their the White House card plans, and a potential Matchroom sale to the Saudis heynottheface.substack.com/p/has-alex-p...

Three new names added as cosponsors to the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act. Steven Horsford, [D-NV-4] Haley Steven [D-MI-11] Shomari Figures, [D-AL-2]. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Update on Le v Zuffa: Judge Boulware has signed the Motion for Disbursement of the Net Le v Zuffa Settlement Fund. (Was signed Friday but was only posted to the Court today.) So checks should start going out to fighters any day now.

Something’s shifting in boxing, and it matters more than people think. I asked John S. Nash (@heynottheface.bsky.social) -- who understands the business better than most -- if fans should care. Here’s what he said... Full show: tinyurl.com/ya2tbaht

On today’s episode of Hey Not The Face! @crooklyn.bsky.social and I discuss Zuffa Boxing’s Paramount deal announcement, Dana White’s various media appearances, and if he could conceivably run for President? heynottheface.substack.com/p/is-trumps-...

These are just some of the questions @heynottheface and I go over on today's episode. Check it out. 2/2 heynottheface.substack.com/p/is-there-a...

How close does Conor get to that $100M he's asking for? Could the Paramount+ purchase of TikTok end up being a platform to push agendas for TKO? Was Tom Brown's letter still a draft when it was released? Why is TKO targeting a specific committee for the new Ali Act bill? 1/2

One of my favorite WWI articles is @heynottheface.bsky.social's look into the unarmed combat systems developed for fighting in the trenches. www.cagesideseats.com/2012/11/17/3...
