I don't know shit about investing, but that's all my brother in law does (mainly pharma). I sent that to him and he said he's going to pick up a bunch.
It's not a bad play. Essentially the only non-"woke" sport left, willing to have events in full arenas, etc.

If you zoom in on Uriah's latest IG post you can see Weidman's bone actually pierced the skin when he tried to plant on his foot again. Oof.
Damn. A compound fracture is no joke - not that it was a joke to begin with. Serious risk of infection

Very little about the news Diego Sanchez was out of his next UFC fight seemed like a normal fight withdrawal.


That news came Wednesday when it was revealed Sanchez (30-13 MMA, 19-13 UFC) was out of his welterweight co-main event against former teammate Donald Cerrone (36-15-1 MMA, 23-12-1 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 24 on May 8.


Thursday, Sanchez posted on his Instagram stories that he was “free at last” and tagged Bellator, ONE Championship, BKFC and others – implying he no longer is with the UFC and is a free agent.


UFC officials have not officially announced Sanchez is out of the fight, or if he’s a free agent, and did not immediately return a request from MMA Junkie for comment.


Those who follow Sanchez on social media, though, may have seen some things brewing between the longtime UFC fighter and the promotion and president Dana White.


Not long before Sanchez was out of the bout, he posted an online gripe from October 2020, when he says he and his team were left stranded at the airport in Las Vegas after flying home from his UFC 253 loss to Jake Matthews. Everyone else on the flight back to the States from “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi got their rides from the airport, but the Sanchez team, including coach Joshua Fabia, were left behind.

doesn't say why
"Romero will become eligible to reapply for clearance to compete in the coming months, and we look forward to seeing him make his Bellator debut in the near future," Bellator said

This is why Diego is out. His coach is a fucking retard



In the follow up email, he wouldn't say if Diego was having cognitive issues or not, so they pulled the fight

can not be that many that turned the 30%. iirc the last few years, fighters that missed weight are below 50%
