🚨 Ilia Topuria just released a statement following the loss to Justin Gaethje last night
"Justin, congratulations. You said you’d leave your mark on my face… and you did.
You took the sight from my right eye in the first round, and by the end of the second, from my left too.
No excuses.
I had one of the best camps of my life. I came in sharp, prepared, and ready. Last night was your night.
That’s the nature of this game. Glory and pain walk side by side.
I’ll heal. I’ll rest. And I’ll return stronger, wiser, and far more dangerous.
And trust me… this story between us is far from over.
We will have our rematch."
rocket money is funny and sad
funny: their entire business model is to sell to people that need help looking at their own bank accounts to simply see they're wasting 100s of dollars a month on XYZ
sad: there are enough fiscally brain-dead humans to support this business model
J.J. McCarthy on if he's thought about wanting to be traded:
"I think I made it very clear I wanted to be here, before I got here. And I love this organization, I love the coaching staff, I absolutely love these players to death. This is where I want to be. I feel like I can thrive in this system. Everything played out exactly how I wanted it and I wouldn't want anything else to change."
My friend Rondale Moore would have turned 26 years old today.
I wanted to make a post in his memory and remind everyone that mental health matters. It doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, young or old, famous or unknown. It can affect anyone.
No matter what we accomplish in life, nothing is more important than our mental health.
I pray for Rondale and his family today, and I hope he knew just how loved he was. I also hope anyone reading this remembers that you are loved too, and that it’s OK to ask for help when you need it.
God bless. 🙏
@TheRealForno I might be reading into this, but that feels flavored with excuses not expected from a veteran, especially considering past rumors that he didn't put the work in, and now his poor study habits and work ethic are catching up under KO's system.
