Stacey King a few weeks ago on announcing:
“It’s a fun job, it never seems like work for me. Every night I go to work, win, lose or draw, I’m having fun… one thing I’ve always tried was if you couldn’t come to a Bulls game, you’re entertained on TV.”
This is a message I think everyone needs for their life.
Conclusion on The Fighting Nerds after they all lost?
Fans always overrate fighters when they’re on a win streak and then swing the other way when they lose. Happens all the time.
The Nerds are still a great team. How bad did they even lose? Not a single one got “fraud checked.” Prates, my favorite Fighting Nerd, already came back with a huge KO win. Caio lost to Imavov, who honestly should already be fighting for the title. Jean Silva got dominated on the ground in round one, but came back and hurt Diego multiple times. Diego's chin is just made of granit.
To me the main problem is they fight too emotionally, always trying to force that highlight reel finish. The greats — GSP, Jon Jones, Khabib — learned that the boring, disciplined way of fighting is what keeps you winning long term.
20-4 isn’t bad at all. They’re still dangerous, and they’re still here.
Sean Strickland reacts to the news of Charlie Kirk's death
"I’m on Twitter and somebody says, “Hey, did you hear Charlie Kirk got shot?” My reaction was like, “No, I didn’t,” but I’m excited — like I felt that little dopamine spike in me.
Then you start thinking like, “Man, how did I become such a sociopath? How am I so detached from human beings?”… We are so disconnected, we are so sociopaths.
I had to ask myself, “How did we become a generation of sociopaths?”…I don’t know how to fix it, it’s just sad and frustrating."
