And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Noone except maybe McGregor was hyped as much as Ronda so you can't really give that award to anyone else after she failed so completely then cried and got fat.

You need haters. Fellas if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of them motherfuckers. If there's any haters in here that don't have nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me
It's cool because we all already loved Mark Hunt but he has somehow managed to become more endearing this year than before.
