😳 Ilia Topuria says as soon as Max Holloway did his gesture rather than stand and trade, he knew he was going to knock him out
“I was like, listen, we are not gonna go the the 5th round. More specifically, the last 10 seconds because I’m gonna finish you before that.
So why don’t we do something that you do in the last 10 seconds, in the first 10 seconds?
That’s why I did it, and once he did this [the bullfighting gesture], I knew I would be the first to knock you out but you just confirmed it.”

Modern engineering is designed to fail.
Not because engineers are bad. Because the business model requires it.
The Voyager probe, launched 1977, is still transmitting from 24 billion km away.
Your laptop lasts 4 years. Your earbuds - 2.
We don't lack the capability to build for centuries. We lack the incentive.
This is the biggest lie in engineering: "We're pushing the limits."
No. We're managing them.
