Sean Strickland says he’s BANNED from attending the UFC White House event 😬
“I made fun of Israel and Epstein. The only male American champ banned at the White House.”
I still cannot believe Portugal hired Roberto Martínez to lead them to World Cup glory after he single-handedly wasted Belgium’s entire golden generation. You had prime Hazard, De Bruyne, and Lukaku for a decade and won absolutely nothing. How this man keeps scamming his way into elite international squads is a scientific mystery. Portugal is carrying way too much talent to be held back by him
@tweeterdisdik@criscyborg@Claressashields It’s what Clarissa calls herself lol, that’s why Cyborg put in quotation marks. It’s obviously an attempt to go after a big money fight
@BenJMMA03 In MMA, he’s the best boxer but they are starting to overrate his overall boxing ability. They think he beats world champion level boxers lol
@Home_of_Fight If Gaethje fights like how he did against Paddy, the fight will end in R1. If he’s more careful, I can see the fight lasting at least 3 rounds
Have you ever watched someone deliberately choose the harder path when the easier one was right there? That is what Marco Silva did this week.
Genuinely speaking. You think about it. What kind of man turns down double his salary? One who has something to prove. And Marco Silva has everything to prove at Benfica.
Fulham reportedly offered him £8 million a year to stay. On a three-year contract. With them, he had security, familiarity and a squad he built himself.
Benfica however came with £4 million and a fanbase that will not accept third place in their own league as a reasonable outcome. Yet he chose them.
The five years he spent at Craven Cottage were genuinely impressive. He had a Championship title with 110 goals in a single season. He also got Fulham back in the Premier League and staying there. He never Never finished below 13th in the league. He also led them
to their first ever League Cup semi-final.
He literally turned a yo-yo club into a reliable top half side and did it without drama or noise. You may not understand. But that is harder than it looks.
But impressive and historic are different things. Silva has never managed at a club where winning trophies is the baseline expectation rather than the aspiration.
He will be replacing Jose Mourinho at the Estadio da Luz, with Benfica having finished thi in the Primeira Liga last season. Third place at Benfica is not a foundation to build on. It is a problem to fix immediately.
He has been building a house near Lisbon for two years. This was always the destination. The comfort of Fulham was never going to be enough for a man who left Portugal to prove himself and now wants to come home and prove something different entirely.
Legacy costs more than salary. Silva just paid the price willingly. We will see if he gets the prize.

Marco Silva rejeitou milhões da Arábia Saudita e teve uma abordagem de um clube da Premier League enquanto estava em negociações com o Benfica, adianta @Record_Portugal

@CRISGOATIANO@browser_things@ReadItSaidIt You’re not wrong. That’s why I think people are underrating Brazil’s chances. Ancelotti doesn’t play the most attractive brand of football but he knows how to win games. I won’t be surprised if they do well
@ChampRDS Gaethje tryna get him to be reckless by provoking him with the wife situation 😭 it’ll either be perfect for him or the worst thing he’s ever done, 0 in between
