Why does it look like the Mindflayer in Stranger Things?

A small community newspaper in Pennsylvania posted this photo and caption that says the company fabricating the structure UFC is using for the White House event assembled it in their area as a test run.

Link in next tweet.

@jasonrmcintyre @danorlovsky7 Michigan took only 5 more 2-point shots than UConn. Anyway, you can be fouled on a 3. Like on this one that - shocker - wasn’t called.

Refs are doing a heck of a job keeping Michigan in this game!

@sdemary @dhurley15 Your son is a great leader. We hope you all continue to enjoy every second of the UConn journey. Wherever life takes him, Storrs will always look forward to welcoming him home.

@arielhelwani I think I blacked out watching Mullins’ shot go down. Unbelievable!

[Mike Chiappetta MMA @MikeChiappetta]

Y’all must’ve forgot!!!! We are the true blue bloods! #UConn #BleedBlue

@JedKMeshew That would be tough to beat in terms of probable worldwide blockbusters. Here’s a good one: Morgan Freeman’s 1989: Glory, Driving Miss Daisy, Lean on Me.

@AlexanderKLee @DamonMartin lol if the math is right, a tournament with 56 rounds would require 72 quadrillion fighters!

@FirstSquawk Hey @chaddundas & @benfowlkesMMA, please explain the CME’s position here 🤣

@MoJoeJoJoe227 @FDSportsbook Gruber and gang represent greed. How are they defeated? By family, by love. They triumph when Holly literally lets go of greed (Rolex) while Hans is willing to risk death for it.

@arielhelwani You were the first person I thought of when he went yard. Hope all is well my friend. Good luck in the WS!

@AaronGleeman Who do you think gets it? I understand the sentiment around Raleigh’s historic season but Judge having an OPS 100 points higher than anyone is insane. Two very worthy candidates.

@RyanLoco I remember someone getting thrown out during the coin toss back in the day. I wanna say it was the Dolphins or Cowboys?

[Mike Chiappetta MMA @MikeChiappetta]

@Jomboy_ Love your breakdowns but you don't need to be on the mound to request a TO. Any player may request a TO. Per rule 5.10, umps cannot grant time if a play is in progress. Here, when they ran the runner back to first, the runner on 3rd moved off the base (hence, play in progress.)

@Ranger_Up That’s terrible. Did he get caught/arrested?

[Mike Chiappetta MMA @MikeChiappetta]

I went through old emails to find correspondence I had with Jordan Breen. My favorite was a back-and-forth we had about the UFC's all-heavyweight card back in 2012. The subject line he put on his first email to me?
"Meat sweats."
Hilarious and brilliant.
Rest easy, Jordan.

@MikeBohn @jordanbreen Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe we hung out at your place in Toronto once. Ah damn. 😢

[Mike Chiappetta MMA @MikeChiappetta]

@MikeBohn @jordanbreen Oh no. He was such an interesting & bright guy. Terrible news. Condolences to his family, friends and to the MMA community.
