Ilia Topuria said he was offered to fight Islam Makhachev #UFC
"Before I got the confirmation to fight Justin, I was supposed to fight Islam.
Dana said he was supposed to make the announcements of the White House card.
From the call I got from the UFC I knew that I was fighting Islam.
The first fight they offered me was against Islam.
So I went to sleep, and middle of the night I got 100 calls from the UFC saying '[Islam] is injured, you're gonna face Justin Gaethje"

@Cyoplasm Same, kinda disappointed in another remaster. Give us a new halo and now talks are halo 2 and 3 remastered in the works. Halo 3 remastered does sound really nice though tbh
Because Emmanwori plays all over Seattle’s defense, he practices with different positions and position coaches. Here he was with DeMarcus Lawrence today.
Emmanwori said the 13th-year veteran is teaching him “how to win easy, not making it too complicated.”
#Seahawks Rylie Mills on Jadarian Price on @SeattleSports and what he can tell us:
"J-D is a quiet dude, In the locker room is he is a great teammate. But he's a super strong player."
#Seahawks Grey Zabel on if he was going to lose John Benton, his OL coach, to LV:
"100%. Understanding how good an OL coach he was. The uncertainty is. Is he going to work with Coach Kubiak at all? Definitely holding my breath for a couple of weeks, then realize he is staying."

#Seahawks Jaxon Smith-Njigba on OC Brian Fleury so far:
"Straightforward. Been good. The offense has been good. Meetings have been great. We are the type of guys that if you tell us we need to do, we will do it, fix any problems. It's been healthy and awesome."
What can he do to get involved?
"Improve with Sam [Darnold] and work with Coop [ Kupp]
On Rashid Shaheed:
"Excited for him. Being with us is going to excel him this season."

#Seahawks Nick Emmanwori is working on the edge to evolve his game.
On handling the roles this season vs. last season:
"I feel really equipped. In the film and the field, I feel that I am ahead of the pack. I feel the game way more.
On DeMarcus Lawrence:
"Anything he says is green and ready to go. Trying to soak in his game and stuff and learn what he got."

1. It’s wild that @3mmanwori is the same size as @TankLawrence
2. Year 2 loading for the NFL’s most versatile player, now refining his pass rush moves under guidance from great vets like Lawrence should keep opponents up at night.
Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje just had a HEATED back and forth😳
🗣️ Gaethje: "He's a narcissist and believes everything he says... he thinks he's God. He's human, when I touch his chin he's gonna go to sleep."
🗣️ Ilia: "There's never gonna be a 2nd or 3rd round. I'm gonna knock you out in the 1st round."
🗣️ Gaethje: "I'm ready for him to shoot and take me down."
🗣️ Ilia: "Never, forget about it. I'm never gonna shoot for a takedown... I talk the talk and I walk the walk. I won the world title three times. I'm the king on the screen right now. Shut the f*ck up."
