Today, supporters of APOEL Nicosia from Cyprus displayed a banner honouring Archangel Michael, the Commander of the Heavenly Hosts, whose feast day is celebrated every year on November 8 in the Orthodox Church.
A beautiful display of faith and Orthodox tradition! โฆ๏ธ
Ilia Topuria says Alexander Volkanovski is the featherweight GOAT, and doesn't want to fight him again because he likes him too much ๐ค
"Honestly, I respect him so much and I've grown so fond of him that I couldn't hit him. It would be a very competitive fight. Just because I beat him once doesn't mean he can't beat me.
For me personally, he's the best featherweight in history, above everyone. Yes, I beat him. I beat Max Holloway. I did things nobody else had done. But looking at his record over all those years, he's accomplished much more than I have."

Hanson has lashed out at Labor for going too heavy on cuts to migration. Says tourism is crying out for more migrants โthat they need to run their businessโ
Obviously forgot her economy -destroying 750k+ cuts to migrants that would severely cripple not just the tourism industry๐

Volk admits it bothers him that Australian mainstream media doesn't give him the same recognition he receives from the public:
โDo I believe my accomplishments should be up there with some of the greats? Yes, I do believe that.
A lot of people are going to try and steer away from this sport. But not the public.
I get a lot of love. We could be there with a whole heap of different athletes, and the amount of people that come up and interact with me is noticeable.
It does upset me a little bit that some of the mainstream media won't ever try and show that. Or maybe they just don't know.
I do get a little upset in a sense where it's like, mate, I know how everyone feels and what everyone would love to see on your screen as well, but you aren't gonna push that.
I'm very thankful for the people that do.โ
@DrewPavlou A sidenote; the community has a diverse range of views, scattered throughout the whole political pendulum. The days of us being a โblock of votesโ are long gone.
@DrewPavlou Members of the Greek community are sophisticated enough to make up their own minds on how they should vote. We are not pawns. It really is quite a patronising post and very Marxistโฆ
Alex Volkanovski is back home, and revelling in the adulation that comes with being one of the most accomplished fighters in UFC history. Having deprived himself for months during a brutal training camp, the champ celebrated his win in Abu Dhabi with food, and lots of it. | @BenceHamerli
