@twelvatron Sorry mate forgot to reply to this - I saw your message yesterday and got it edited, thanks for reading and pointing it out, really appreciated!

There’s an art to selling a fight. It’s really difficult to get the public invested in you.

Selling controversy is something else. It’s not difficult to say awful, degrading things.

And still. Report from Las Vegas on Leon Edwards' win over Colby Covington to retain his welterweight title https://t.co/idobvDtTwO #UFC296

[Paul Battison @PaulBattison]

Leon Edwards and Colby Covington both make weight for their welterweight title fight at #UFC296

Paddy Pimblett and Tony Ferguson also on weight for their lightweight bout

[Coral Barry @Coral__Barry]

.@PaulBattison was already pursuing this story before the repulsive comment made at #UFC296

Incredibly vile thing to say, and for what? All in the pursuit of entertainment and sales? https://t.co/hXjPWKdG5I

[Paul Battison @PaulBattison]

Spoke to Leon the other week on a freezing morning in Birmingham.

He was chill, confident and sees the funny side to Colby Covington https://t.co/6mWKPlsQ3z #ufc296

[Coral Barry @Coral__Barry]

Winning a $1m is a big deal to most people and even more to a fighter like Patchy Mix who used to sell lunch at school & agree to ‘arranged fights’ so he could get eggs & milk for his family #Bellator301

Tom Aspinall reveals he was injured going into #UFC295 & and you can hear from his dad and coach Andy, who was by his side last night.

"I finished work because I wanted to be with my kids. I'm happy that they want to be with me, and I'm proud of him." https://t.co/oaKJ1NHzJn

[Paul Battison @PaulBattison]

The UK has its first ever UFC heavyweight champion in @AspinallMMA and he did it in style.
