Nate Diaz explains why he wasn’t interested in being Conor McGregor’s return fight: “I know that [the UFC] wanted the Conor fight right now… and I’m like, I’m not trying to be a comeback story for Conor. I want Conor back, and then I want him to be fucking showing people he’s whipping ass. Then that’s the guy I want. I don’t wanna be fighting a guy that they don’t know about, because I know he’s gonna come back and do good. I don’t need him to do it on me.”

I’m taking accountability for what happened. I don’t want to go into details, but I know what I did was wrong, and I own that. I almost cried making this video because I genuinely feel so sorry. I’m truly sorry.

Please, let Jungkook live his life 😔 🐰: I’m sorry, but please don’t tell me to go to bed. Don’t tell me to go to bed. I’ll sleep when I decide to. I appreciate that you’re worried about me, and I know you’re saying it because you care, but I’m not sleepy. I’m just not sleepy. What can I do? Even if I want to sleep, I’m not very good at it. I have to take medication to sleep. I just can’t fall asleep. Honestly, I probably won’t get sleepy until around 2 p.m. That’s just how I’ve always been. It’s normal for me. I’m not overdoing it. I’m staying up because that’s what I want to do. I really appreciate your concern, and I’m genuinely, genuinely okay. So please don’t say things like, “Go to bed soon.” You don’t have to say that. I’m okay. Really, really okay.

Mike Perry discusses the possibility of finally fighting Conor McGregor in MMA: “I like the sound of that, but I’m not gonna sit around and wait for it. I’ll just keep fighting when I get opportunities that make sense. Maybe the UFC can make an offer or something, I don’t know... I’m on the path to going up, and for anybody who doesn’t want to believe in me… I’m working my ass off.”

"I think I have mental problems, because I have a lot of money from music and I have everything—houses in Russia, houses in America, cars, a beautiful family. I don’t know why I need this. I’m not making any money from these fights—nothing. Literally nothing. I’m paying out of my own pocket for the fighters. The rush is… I don’t know. It’s sick." Alex Terrible is unsure why he chooses to compete in bare-knuckle boxing.

#ลีน่าหมิว #LenaMiu #lalinalena #ลีน่าลลินา ‘You deserve to be loved the right way…if they don’t love you it’s okay, but the artist loves you’ – Lena Lorena Lalina Schuett 🦋: I want to thank everyone for buying me various gifts. I’m so happy every time I open the gifts and also when reading the letters, it makes me very happy. Some people have made cards as if I was their gf/bf. I feel like I want those who have made me these cards and given me these things, to really have a gf/bf! Because if I was their gf, I’d really love them like omg like ohho! I’m someone who’s really into things that are diy (handmade) or if it’s something that I know they have really made for me. Something that they really put thought into buying or made for me. So that’s why I want to say to all the fans that you deserve to be loved the right way. Please remember that. If they don’t love you it’s okay, but the artist loves you. Genuinely. When I opened the card, there was this to pull here and there – hey guys, I know how hard it is to make these sort of cards because I also like to write cards and do diy stuff. I’m not great at doing them but I always try. But yes, thank you so much everyone for putting your thoughts into doing them for me.

Colby Covington says things went sour between him and the UFC over broken promises 🤯 "I think just the last couple of months, things kind of went sour. They were making some promises, but they weren’t fulfilling them. [Hunter] was stringing me along. I just don’t like how I’ve kind of been ghosted. It’s okay if that’s the way you’re going with your business, but I’m going to go with my business. I don’t want the UFC to tell me what I can and can’t do. Treat me like an independent contractor and don’t treat me like an employee." (Via Helen Yee )

I feel like when you think about, ‘I want to sign, I want to sign, I want to sign,’ it almost runs away from you. But if I’m just like, ‘I’m gonna live my best life, I’m just gonna perform and wrestle the best that I can, I’m gonna have banger matches,’ and that’s all I focus about, then they know where to reach me. So if they’re interested in signing me, they know how to get ahold of me. But all my focus is, right now, is just banger after banger matches and that’s it.”
