It's a shame because I absolutely love MMA but hate UFC. Unfortunately they have the best talent and I feel torn on it. Lately I've been keeping up with the regional scene more than UFC. At least I can afford the front row seats at these events.

Getting UFC fighters to unionize on a cause might be an impossible task. They've all been complaining about pay their whole careers but won't unionize and the one they did the fights just settled for payouts instead of an actual change in the company.

I love the sport and some of the fighters but I hate UFC and how much of a bitch these fighters are to the organization (and trump).

Yeah people seem to forget that image and video manipulation has been around forever. It's just AI made it to where anyone can do it (and faster). Not just the people with the know-how and time to learn the programs.

I drink just as frequently as I used to but now it's more wine with dinner or a bottle of wine on a Friday night. Compare that to downing cheap hard liquor after taking like 10 mg of Xanax. I've naturally slowed down over the years. Sometimes I wonder if I'll actually be totally sober one day which is a crazy thought to me. If the trend continues it may eventually happen though.

They're basically saying we just need to find a better reason and they'll do it
