Team: Stipe Miocic

To be fair, fouls have been prevalent recently.

I had one picture of me and four of MMA events I attended.

The “you there” messages always get me.

Some call it “brain power”.

Opening up with a Roy Nelson GIF is a win.

Gadddamn?

Fair criteria for a prediction.

Not what I meant but can’t complain.

“Data” lol.

Sliding in the O’Malley prediction.

Team: Daniel Cormier

The most recent article I could find at the time was... Dana White: ‘No debate’ that Stipe Miocic-Daniel Cormier trilogy winner is heavyweight GOAT

Cung Le shoutout!

I’ve never watched fights on top of a bar but honestly may add it to my bucket list. If I double up on tequila shots, I think I can get there.

A lot of Sean O’Malley fans in this chapter of predictions.

Looks around the room ... “Who’s gonna tell him?”

“Easily” LOL.

Rawr...............

Daddest Man on the Planet is also Tinder cuteness approved.

They have DC up there with Kazushi Sakuraba. That’s serious.

I just really wanted it again.

First time I’ve seen that opener.

I definitely am lost.

I hate this.

Coronapocalypse.

hubba........... hubba.......

Deceptive.

This GIF will always be iconic.

I got called out.

Bonus:

It’s dudes that use me being an MMA fan to make jokes about beating me up for me. What made this normal?

It’s always a deal breaker.

No.

This is called abuse.

I don’t know what’s happening.

Win.

That slight DC shade.

How does one listen to JRE but claim they know nothing about MMA? That’s a bit sad.

We are certainly... not... related.

Fair compensation.

He finally caught up.

Khabib Time.
