Brian Manning ๐ฎ๐ช is coming!
After a devastating promotional debut in January, he has the chance for a major breakout moment when he faces hometown hero, Pukaฤ, next Saturday at @OktagonOfficial 89.
The rise could be about to take a sharp incline!
My boy @ArielHelwani putting me over for the 100th time in my MMA career - never taken for granted.
Honored to be working with @ScottCoker again. Scott has been a huge part of my journey & Iโm grateful for the opportunity to reconnect & get back to work on his vision.
Also, worth noting that Staines is managed by Graham Boylan.
Thereโs often conversation around perceived easier paths.
Make no mistake, Conor McCarthy has long been revered as one of, if not the, top prospect from Ireland since his ammy days.
Cracker of a fight.
I canโt stress enough how great a fight this is.
Two bonafide prospects going head to head. Reminiscent of Hughes-Vucenic 1.
Fantastic matchmaking and fair play to Staines and McCarthy ๐
Winner should get a title shot, if not picked up for Contender Series.
HUGE Lightweight Contenders Fight at #CW207 Manchester ๐๐ฅ
Undefeated prospects George Staines and Conor McCarthy meet at the BEC on June 20th!

Former head of UFC PR here.
Trump's name didn't appear in a single press release, one-sheet briefing, talking point, UFC-produced document, book, or piece of content before 2016.
The only time I recall his name being mentioned within my own earshot was execs laughing about his involvement with the money-pit that was Affliction MMA.
This narrative is simply false.
Wrote about how the current Dana White media blitz has been almost entirely about defending Trump and the White House event and not at all about promoting the specific fighters on that event. Which is kinda weird. https://t.co/g2ZQqZMjdB
Ian Garry turned comments off on his latest Instagram post due to "racist comments" towards Jewish people:
"People have the audacity to link my frustration to then segregate and start mentioning horrendous comments towards Jewish people.
I thought we learned a long time ago, around the 1940s, that segregation was wrong, especially towards the Jewish community.
A way for me to control that - I'm turning the comments off. Nobody is ever coming to my page and spreading that vulgar energy... I need to protect the peace."

@WillFckinFleury Itโs wrong whether itโs Palestinians Black people in America/South Africa, Armenians in Turkey, Jewish under Nazi regime, Uyghur in China etc etc.
I took it as him calling out antisemitism in his comments section, as it was targeted towards Jews in that instance.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
