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.

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

As a twofer this means now Nunes has to main one event removed from Dana being Nunes will never main again, due to pulling out due to illness. This isn't Dana's day.

All cards in Alberta are cursed. This one, UFC 149, and the WEC one where Kamal Shalorus kicked Jamie Varner in the dick twenty times and got the fight scored as a draw when he probably should have lost every round.

Really lovely for MM. I imagine he wants to get the record safely behind him so that he can move on to fights with higher profiles and bigger paydays.

I'm sure Dana will allow DJ that opportunity and not be extremely petty and have him fight Chase Beebe's son on the 3rd fight from the bottom on a FXX prelim to a Hungarian PPV

Young, Fun and Full of Cum: The Fertitta Story

If anyone needs a refresher on DJ's side of the story regarding the TJ fight it can be found here

https://www.mmafighting.com/2017/6/...me-to-speak-out

To me it sounds more like MM was tired of getting jerked around and put his foot down on this one after wanting to initially fight Cody, being told it wouldn't sell, being told to fight Borg, agreeing to, and then suddenly being told to fight TJ specifically to help build TJ's profile.

Reis vs Cejudo has been moved up to the main card apparently.

Sounds like he is paying the price for ducking a good opponent in order to pad a record that nobody cares about by fighting ray borg. Just my opinion but also I'm right and if you disagree you don't know poo poo about mma.

FWIW Forbes is extrapolating the valuation from this deal, but it was a previous agreement. The Fertitta's took less of the buyout in exchange for a minority interest that was going to pay them out over two years. WME bought them out early and paid a premium to do so.

you're the best, keven

also tbh Johnson/Borg was still probably going to be the 4th best fight on that card, if not the 5th best. Magny/Dos Anjos will be fun, Latifi/Pedro will probably end quickly and violently, Melendez/Stephens will probably end less quickly and more violently.

I do think it's funny that in a period where the Middleweight belt is being defended against a retired welterweight (having previously been defended against an old man) the lightweight belt will never be defended, and the light heavyweight champ got busted for cold war era steroids against a short, old fat man, somehow people reserve most of their scorn for MM. Dude actually has haters.
