Match Day 4.

Result 4-3 Vs @mostonbrook

Having lead 3-0 we found ourselves level. A late Teddy winner was enough to save our blushes. Must learn to see games out & control the game better. Plus note last season we would have lost that.

You may never witness another five minutes like this in MMA history. Every second of it—earned.

These five minutes of Dustin Poirier walking out of the cage one final time, to a Louisiana crowd that hadn’t moved, surrounded by family, fellow fighters, pro athletes, executives, and others waiting to congratulate him—were earned with blood, heartbreak, grit, and an unbreakable will.

This wasn’t just a retirement. It was a celebration of a man who gave everything to this sport of MMA.
Every ounce of himself. Every piece of his soul.

He never chose the easy path. He walked through fire every time.
Wins or losses—Dustin Poirier always showed up.

Always real. Always game. Always himself.

He leaves behind a legacy bigger than belts.
He leaves as the epitome of what it means to be a fighter.
Respect isn’t given in this sport. It’s earned.
And Dustin Poirier earned every second of it.

Few retirements in MMA leave behind a scene like this.
A moment where time stood still, and the sport gave its thanks.

Respect 🫡

World Book Day magic at school! ✨ The House Champions embraced Harry Potter spirit, each representing a Hogwarts house. Keeping the 🟢, I went full Slytherin—green, silver, and a bit of ambition!

Great to see students so engaged and enriched with the day!

[Dylan Jardon 🌈 @DylanJardon]

"Perfection is impossible.

In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.

But what percentage of points did I win?

54%

In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.

When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.

You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'

Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.

Here's why I'm telling you this.

When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.

But when it's behind you, it's behind you.

This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."
