We are approaching a territory where it feels like there could be a superstar shortage in the UFC. With many of the top names in their late 30s, we are nearing a new era.

Aspinall, Pereira, DDP, Ilia, Islam are all great champions. I’d say this is the strongest set of champs they’ve had in a while. There will never be another Conor so take him out of the comparisons. He was a unicorn.

Dana will build a few new stars. Khamzat will be in a title fight this year. O'Malley should get another shot. Problem is guys like Belal and DDP are not marketable. Aspinall is, but hes being censored by Jones.

Events do not feel as big as they used to be. Jones/Conor/GSP/Rousey/Silva/Lesnar No more. Most PPV’s just don’t have ‘it.’

There isn’t a single champion who makes want to pay for a PPV. A lot of great fighters but no Aura and no charisma.. weakest ufc roster in a long time

Definitely a shortage

Absolute facts! UFC has talent but zero young stars.

There's this star.

Cool thing about MMA is you don’t need stars. They help sure but people watch UFC for the brand. They’re always gonna be new champions and fans will follow the champs whomever it is

Gemini Jack1 year ago

I felt like this about 2 years ago. Now we have some stellar champions like Pereira and Aspinall and Topuria, I think the issue we're going to run into is that these guys are so dominant... there's no rivalries like there used to be. Some of these champs seem too good

Josh Woolaghan1 year ago

What are you taking about? The UFC will always have someone come along as a superstar. Ilia is how old? O’Malley is still there. Aspinal is only 31. Khamzat 30. There are people, and someone always makes their way to the top. Ilia would have never been looked at like this in 2022

Canadian PM Mark Carney on the Golden Dome: We are exploring the next phase of that defense with the United States, and that could include what’s called the Golden Dome. Those talks are going well. It’s under development. If it’s in the right interests of Canada — and I think there are certainly many scenarios where it will be in the right interest of Canada — we will be a willing participant.

Mike Perry has a few names in mind for what comes next: “You don’t go from this fight to crap. I have no need for 99% of these guys. There are a couple of fun ones people are talking about, like Masvidal… Kamaru was there that night, and we were talking a little bit. I’ve seen it throughout history where guys come into — or come back to — the UFC and get a top-ranked fight, and I feel like I’m in that category. You could bring me in and give me a top-ranked fight, and I’ll crush it.”

Aly & AJ were rejected by a label last month for being too old; they are 35 & 33. "We love the record. We think it's amazing, but we're not here to break women in their 30s." Their new single, What It Feels Like, is about embracing aging and the changes that come with it.

We have started the journey across various city's in England for Say Their Names event. These are the names of the children killed in Gaza. Every number is a child with a name, a family, a stolen childhood, a life full of potential. This is more than a moment of reflection. It’s a statement: we must Know Their Names. #knowtheirnames

Satoru Gojo unleashes his Hollow Purple against Ryomen Sukuna — and the animation is absolutely stunning. The fluidity, the weight behind every impact, the perfect timing of each movement… it feels like something straight out of a high-budget anime production. And the craziest part: it was made with Seedance 2.0. If it already looks this good now, imagine where this technology will be in just one year. Will there even be errors anymore? Or are we witnessing the beginning of a new era where anyone can create scenes at this level in minutes? This doesn’t feel like an experiment anymore. It feels like a revolution.

Elon Musk: Do we want to be in many worlds, or forever confined to Earth? “There are so many things to worry about, so many things to be concerned about. There are many troubles in the world, of course, and these are important, and we need to solve them. But we also need things that make us excited to be alive, that make us glad to wake up in the morning and be fired up about the future and think the future is going to be great. Space exploration is one of those things. Becoming a space-faring civilization, being out there among the stars, this is one of the things that I know makes me glad to be alive. I think it makes many people glad to be alive. It's one of the best things. Really, we're faced with a choice: Which future do you want? Do you want a future where we become a space-faring civilization and are in many worlds and are out there among the stars, or one where we are forever confined to Earth? I say it is the first. And I hope you agree with me.” Starship Update, September 2019

There is a CONSERVATIVE streak in the heart of New Yorkers. In 2024, we are going to change politics as we know it. There are NO LONGER “racial votes” in America. There are ONLY AMERICAN votes in America & together we are going to save the greatest country ever known.
