It is time for all of us to take the Red Pill and end systemic exploitation. Founder of the Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Association. #UFCAntitrust lawsuit.
@Public_Citizen 69% of ALL voters support #Medicare4All. Yet, neither party will put it on the platform, even during a pandemic.
Why is that? Who is being represented?

@MMAFighting@ScottCoker The shaking up of MMA is happening with the UFC Antitrust lawsuits. UFC has a monopoly because of things like Strikeforce being sold to UFC. We see it’s a monopoly because Bellator couldn’t last.
As a baseball fan, I am more than happy to watch Ohtani, Judge and others wreck their careers because they don’t play for a year or more. As long as that brings a salary cap and makes baseball competitive for all teams.
So they are on pace to hold around 500 total matches this years and according to White they have around 1,000 fighters under contract who they are required to give 3 fights to each of them every year. Hmm that doesn’t seem to math.
One year ago, the NCAA blindsided college athletics with unprecedented roster limits.
Thousands of student-athletes lost opportunities as coaches were put in the terrible position of cutting and/or de-committing players. Then AFTER the damage was done, the NCAA introduced the “Designated Student Athlete” designation as a way to let some athletes stay without counting against roster limits.
But many programs had already made painful decisions because coaches were told the limits were coming and tried to give athletes as much notice as possible.
Now we are about to do this AGAIN.
The NCAA is expected to approve a 5th year of eligibility next month — after most programs have already recruited their 2027 classes based on the CURRENT rules and CURRENT roster limits.
In women’s soccer, we already operate under a restrictive 28-player cap. You cannot recruit for FOUR classes for years, then suddenly force programs to fit FIVE classes onto the same roster without student-athletes paying the price.
Because when seniors stay, someone else loses a spot.
More cuts. More decommitments. More athletes caught in the middle of ever-changing rules they had nothing to do with.
College recruiting happens YEARS in advance. Families and athletes make life-changing decisions based on the rules in place at the time.
If 5th years are approved, they should all be classified as DSAs so as to not count against roster limits. Otherwise the NCAA is about to repeat the exact same disaster all over again.

Thomas Massie says he will publicly read the names of the Epstein clients before his time in Congress comes to an end.
Massie says there will be no high-level arrests as long as Todd Blanche and Kash Patel work for the United States government.
Massie says Melania Trump knows the truth about Epstein not acting alone.
"Todd Blanche is violating the law."
The *assumption* that the Tampa stadium will drive economic growth is being used to justify this deal. This is absurd. The evidence against this could not be more definitive. No ballpark development has driven economic growth EVER.
@FightHubTV@TeamAbdallah Zuffa’s first order of business was to undo the Ali Act. What does that tell you? They are creating a monopoly in boxing like they did in MMA. They certainly aren’t coming to a just conclusion that’s good for the fans and fighters. Come to the hearings in UFC lawsuits in Vegas.
Issue technicals and allow the “flopping” team to challenge.
If the challenge is unsuccessful, award 2 free throws and the ball.
Have the technicals count against future suspension.
Flopping would change quickly.
I have an old man take on this, which is that while calling flopping in real time is hard, the league should just review all the tape the next morning and fine guys $50K/flop. Or teams if the CBA makes that hard.
This stuff hurts the product and nobody likes it. Tolerating it is a choice.
The NCAA could be passing the 5YR eligibility model this week. The ONLY way to avoid creating utter chaos in terms of players being cut and de-committed every year is to make all 5th years exempt from roster limits. Roster limits and 5 years of playing cannot live harmoniously together. Many athletes will not decide if they are taking a 5th year until very late in the process and when they do, it will be at the expense of someone else. There will be a lot of HS Seniors getting de-committed every year because of the system this model will create. And I feel like no one is talking about this enough. #5YearEligibility #DoTheRightThing
We’re bringing the biggest events in sports and entertainment to Arizona. 🔥
TKO and the Arizona Sports & Entertainment Alliance have announced a landmark agreement to bring marquee UFC, WWE, PBR, and Zuffa Boxing events to the state.
@jedigoodman While Jake is “hoping fighters don’t get screwed”. @MMAFA is taking real legal action so that doesn’t happen. More media should be going to that. Next hearing May 18th in Vegas.
