Welp, at least Patreon was super quick to deactivate my account and refund me after it got hacked. There's that. Now to try and reactivate it.

Still thinking about this because it is cool martial arts shit, but also that the booth wasn't all agasht at Yan targeting Merab's knee in the fight.

Yan intercepts Merab loading up for a kick with a side kick to the knee.

One of these days, I should save some money and commission a cool artist to do a drawing of Megalon and Gigan doing best friend things. Like riding a tandem bike, making a pie, or quilting.

Mungkornlek (red/white shorts) gives Narak (black/gold shorts) gets a little revenge for all the dumps and sweeps Narak hit earlier in the fight. Also included is Joe Comerford making a much missed Meatloaf reference.

Mungkornlek (red/white shorts) catches Narak (black/gold shorts) with a nice switch knee, but eats a short left hand after it connects.

The replay has a much better angle of Mungkornlek (red/white shorts) cracking Narak (black/gold shorts) with and elbow just as Narak's inside leg kick took Mungkornlek off his feet.

A nice little exchange between Narak (black/gold shorts) and Mungkornlek (red/white shorts). It ends with Narak going for a cut kick, but slips trying to get back into his stance and catches a grazing high kick from Mungkornlek that knocks him down. Ref calls it a knockdown and give Narak an 8 count

I think because Narak (black/gold shorts) caught Mungkornlek (red/white shorts) in the shin with his foot, that it's technically not a foot sweep. Regardless of legality, it's a pretty smooth sweep.

After a frustrating first round, Mungkornlek (red/white shorts) charges Narak (black/gold shorts) only to get dumped onto the floor for his troubles.

Narak (black/gold shorts) showing that just cuz foot sweeps might be getting called by the ref doesn't mean there aren't other cool ways to throw your opponent on their butt.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

I talked to Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker who was arrested at work, while he was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. I called him again once he was deported to Mogadishu. Here's what he had to say.

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

Not a dad, but I can tell you immediately all things that are cool, interesting and fun about my nieces that I don't see as much as I should. I just actually invest time in talking to them when I do see them, because my aunts and uncles did with me. I don't need an AI to remind my about any of it.

Should be going to bed, but I'm cleaning out my air fryer. One day I'll be better at time management, but today is not that day!

Is Tonya Evinger still apart of this? I miss doing my "Tonya Evinger Champ 20XX" bit when we all weren't sure how much of a sham GFL really was. Also, I don't think is going to happen.

After an aggressive last night, I haven't heard the mice tonight. Could be that I'm still awake, but I also patched what I believe to be the last hole they've made. We'll see. Put the work order in to my apartment complex and we'll see if they can find/do anything more about it.

A longer clip, but it's Alexander Volkanovski finishing Movsar Evloev to retain his featherweight crown. I love to see Volk get to work his ground and pound.

I like Daniel being real to Paul about Volk getting up. I had sort of the same thought. The man gave Islam Makhachev all he could handle in the grappling department. Evloev is going to have to come with a lot more if he thinks he can keep Volk down.

Can't land the jab doesn't mean you can't make something out of it. Volk off balances Evloev by grabbing the back of his head off a missed jab and prevents Evloev from returning to the body.

Buffer hasn't been absolute garbage this event. I wonder if he's finally on something that doesn't make him fuck up every other fighter's name.

Evloev looks kind of like the Tom Weston-Jones from Warrior. Who I learned went to college in Dubai. Don't know how I feel about that.

I had to skip ahead as soon as the round ended. I kind of figured the judges might have given Merab the 3rd round thus the win. I'm glad Yan won from a fan experience. Watching Merab cardio wrestle people to decisions only interests me for so long.

Would really love it if Yan hit the Thurman Special on Merab. Every time he grabs Merab's head as he's ducking I keep wanting Yan to through the kick to the head.

Imagine flying all the way to Dubai or Abu Dhabi to watch Power Slap. If you do that then you should have all your assets seized and redistributed to the poor. You should also be dropped into a volcano.

I only ever hear about Power Slap during UFC events. Does anyone actually watch this? I know whatever numbers it does on Rumble are fake, but who actually watches it other than bots?
