Happy Friday! We've been blessed this week because Mark Hunt dropped more videos on us than ever before (even if one video features a creepy spider). But don't worry because the creepy spider is happily offset by our other favorite "Spider" strolling around the room all on his own. And, we've definitely received a strong introduction to UFC newbie and this weekend's co-main-eventer, Patrick Cummins. There are cats again (!), and dogs, and lots of other fun stuff. Follow me on Instagram and enjoy the pics!
