Dricus Du Plessis claims Conor McGregor was bigger than... MMA during his prime years. "Say what you will about the guy. He’s been someone that I’ve looked up to since I was a teenager. Without him, the sport wouldn’t be where it is today. He changed the whole sport as one single guy. Everybody says you can’t be bigger than the sport - he was." (Via: fight forecast)show more

🚨 There’s been a lot of debate about whether... the Conor McGregor fight was fixed… I was there. I saw everything. Here’s my take. I filmed the two videos below as he walked into and out of the stadium. (Definitely take a second to watch them) What alarmed me the most about the first video was that there was no joy, excitement, or confidence as he headed toward the Octagon. As he walked into the sea of people, there ZERO percent hope in his eyes; complete deadpan. We all grew up watching Conor hype himself up before battle. That was NOT the Conor we’ve come to know. I’ve watched Conor make that walk dozens of times over the years. The swagger, the grin, the confidence; it was non existent. That’s what IMMEDIATELY caught my attention. The second I saw him, I knew was going to lose. This was his first UFC fight in five years, yet there was zero hope in his eyes? Just a completely blank expression? After all that 💩 talk? Really? To me, he looked like someone who already knew something wasn’t right. Whether it was his body, his preparation, or both, his energy was completely different. The second video shows him WALK back to the locker room. Yes, without a noticeable limp, he WALKED back with that same hopeless look in his eyes. I know 10+ people who have blown out ACLs, and none of them were casually walking around minutes later. That made me think one of two things: He already knew he was dealing with a serious injury, and that kick simply made it much worse. OR He straight up lied about his health, and planned to do a wild kick to blame the injury on in order to cash the check Regardless, it’s unfortunate how it ended. The highest selling gate in UFC history ended up being one of the biggest letdowns the sport has ever seen. Growing up means watching your heroes become human. I sincerely hope Conor continues his spiritual journey with Jesus, gets back to 100%, and returns one more time because we’d all still pay to see it. Shout out to Paddy for saving the night. What do you think? Do you believe Conor knew about the injury before the fight? Do you believe his tweet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. 👇🏼show more

“Can you just imagine WWE if every single guy... came out wearing the exact same thing?” In April 2022, Big Ben Rothwell announced on Ariel Helwani’s show that after 13 years with the UFC, his request for release was granted. After receiving offers from Bellator, PFL, and BKFC, Rothwell ultimately signed with BKFC, citing a great deal and the desire for creative freedom that had been stifled during the UFC’s Reebok era. Rothwell recalled an incident where he wore his iconic “cloak” backstage, only for the UFC to demand he take it off. Another time, Rothwell offered to let the UFC keep the $10,000 Reebok money so he could wear the cloak. Their response? “We’ll stop the whole show and take your entire purse if you wear it.” Rothwell drew inspiration from Francis Ngannou crossing over to boxing and Conor McGregor’s ventures into the same space, but his main desire was simple: to fight in front of live crowds again. “The Apex is not for me,” he said bluntly. He also spoke about his comfort fighting bare-knuckle, revealing that during his UFC days, he often waived the requirement for hand wraps. If anything happened to his hands, he’d accept the consequences. The first time he did this was in his fight against Brendan Schaub—though no, he didn’t head to P.F. Chang’s afterward to celebrate. Less than three years later, Rothwell is crowned BKFC champion, winning the belt in just 36 seconds in front of a record-breaking crowd at the Wells Fargo Center. He called it the “craziest” crowd he’s ever fought in front of during his 25-year career. To make the moment even more surreal, McGregor—one of Rothwell’s inspirations to make the crossover—was in the ring as a part-owner of BKFC. Few could have imagined this back in 2022 when Rothwell first announced his move to BKFC. Big Ben Rothwell / Ariel Helwani Bare Knuckle FC / Conor McGregorshow more

They say a dog is the only thing on... earth that loves you more than he loves himself.🤗 The Moment Frozen in Time Sixteen years ago, a man snapped a simple selfie in his car. He was younger then-dark hair, clean-shaven, wearing a pair of aviators. Tucked firmly against his shoulder was his best friend: a striking dog with soulful eyes and a brindle coat, looking at the camera with the kind of trust only a puppy can give. It was a mundane Wednesday, a quick drive, a fleeting second. But it captured the beginning of a lifetime.show more

In 1499, Michelangelo overheard people crediting his greatest work... to someone else. He snuck into St. Peter's at night and carved his name on the sculpture. He regretted it immediately and never signed anything again for the rest of his life... He was 24 years old. The year before, a French cardinal had paid him 450 gold ducats to sculpt a statue for his own tomb. The contract had one strange clause: it had to be "the most beautiful work of marble in Rome, one that no living artist could better." Michelangelo had never completed a major public commission. He accepted anyway... He carved for two years from a single block of Carrara marble that he later called the most perfect stone he ever worked. What he produced was the Pietà: the body of Christ, lifeless, across the lap of his mother. When it was unveiled, visitors refused to believe a 24-year-old Florentine had made it. They credited the work to a more famous Lombard sculptor. So according to Vasari, Michelangelo slipped into the basilica with a chisel and carved his name in Latin across the sash running between Mary's breasts: MICHAELANGELUS BONAROTUS FLORENTINUS FACIEBAT. "Michelangelo Buonarroti, the Florentine, made this." Then he vowed never to sign another work. He kept that vow. Through the David. Through the Sistine Chapel. Through the dome of St. Peter's. Through 65 more years of work, until he died at 88. Not one of them bears his name. What I can never quite get over is that he was only 23 when he started. A young man who believed he could carve the most beautiful object on earth. And then he did...

Good governance begins at the very foundation of society,... the family. Peter Obi reflects that order: a man who has been faithfully married for over 30 years with no scandals and no estranged children. In that quiet moment, his smile says more than words; Discipline, devotion,consistency, and respect. Because how a man leads his home often mirrors how he leads a people. A man who can stay grounded at home is more likely to stay grounded in leadership.show more

FSD 14.2.2.5 on Mad Max gets pulled over by... a State Trooper for speeding 🚔🚨 A few interesting observations: When passing the State Trooper, FSD saw the vehicle and moved over into the left lane to yield more space (albeit without slowing down). When the trooper turned his lights on, FSD did initiate a turn signal as if it was going to pull off onto the shoulder. Unfortunately, I disengaged at this point and didn’t get to see if FSD would’ve actually stopped. Fortunately, only a warning was issued for speeding (allegedly). 🎟️show more

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, on what he actually... uses his personal superintelligence for: "When I'm using my Muse Agent, I just want it to help me be a better father and a better husband and show up better for my friends." The richest man in tech is building superintelligence, and the first thing he pointed it at was baking cake pops with his three-year-old on Sundays. He has it watch the cameras in his MMA gym and text him feedback ("it looks like you really gave up"). He has it pull climbing permits so he can take a day off to hike with his daughter. Everyone else is racing to automate jobs. He's using the most powerful technology on earth to be home more. Make of that what you will.show more

The man who discovered gravity left us a date...... and his private papers were hidden for 209 years. Isaac Newton wrote more about God and prophecy than about physics. Late in life, after decades decoding the Book of Daniel, he wrote this in his private notes: "...will end A.C. 2060. It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner." He said he only wrote it to stop "fanciful men" from predicting the end... yet he never published it. In 1727, Newton died and his family locked the papers away. In 1888, Cambridge kept his science and handed the prophecy back. In 1936, it was all auctioned off at Sotheby's. Keynes bought a pile and called him "the last of the magicians." The prophecy papers ended up in Jerusalem. 2060 is 34 years away. Why would the greatest scientist who ever lived obsess over the time of the end... unless he found something we were never meant to see?😉show more

Manuel Neuer was asked to choose between Cristiano Ronaldo... and Lionel Messi as the best player, and this was his response: 🗣️ Manuel Neuer: “Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are both monsters and great players. Of course, we all know they are two different types of players. I was privileged to play against both of them during my career, especially when they were in their prime, but I have to say I suffered more against Cristiano Ronaldo than Lionel Messi. No matter how tight or strong our defense was, he always found a way to score. I think he is the player who has scored more goals against me than any other player I’ve faced. Cristiano can score with his left foot, right foot, and head. He can score all types of goals and even create space for his teammates. So, for me, I would pick Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi because he’s just a different breed the most complete player I’ve ever seen.”show more

🚨Cubarsí on Rodri winning the Golden Ball over Messi... “First of all, congratulations to Rodri. He had an incredible tournament and nobody can deny that. But if you ask me who deserved the Golden Ball after this World Cup, my answer is Lionel Messi.” “People cannot underplay what Messi did simply because Argentina didn't win the World Cup final. At 39 years old, he was still the best player in the tournament. Every time he stepped onto the pitch, he carried his nation and produced moments only he can create.” “I honestly think the way the Golden Ball is decided should change. Team results matter, but football is also about individual greatness. Rodri was fantastic, but for me, Messi was the best player of the tournament and deserved the Golden Ball.”show more
