Quicksand swallows man at Michigan beach near harbor dredging Romance blossoms after Leland beach date takes a dramatic turn.

See? SEE? All those years worrying about quicksand and spontaneous human combustion and oxbow lakes and it’s all TRUE.

UFC fans unsatisfied as Endeavor execs are showered in cash The take-private deal transforms TKO's owner into WME Group as angry fans are primed to mutiny if they ever figure out where their money goes

No one seems to be connecting the dots between UFC's quality collapse and where the money goes. This piece tries to remedy that. www.themmadraw.com/p/ufc-fans-u...

Just like tech sector, the UFC is in its Minimum Viable Product phase and is making absurd profits.

UFC 311 leaves serious questions unanswered about injuries & fight odds An extraordinary UFC event at the Intuit Dome raises some eyebrows.

Anyone who bet money on UFC 311 should read this piece by Zach Arnold. There was a lot of weirdness around the odds. www.themmadraw.com/p/ufc-311-le...

Are politicians buying phone numbers/mailing lists off of the dark web or something?

For the life of me, I can't figure out why I'm STILL getting daily fundraising emails – from people I'd never support.

No, Rudy Giuliani, I'm not interested in doing you a solid.

Dammit, I recently learned the Ooni pizza oven also makes some killer steaks.

I'll never financially recover from this development.

Me in 2005: I'm an MMA fan, but the sport isn't what you think it is.

Me in 2025: MMA is exactly what you think it is.

Not sure I'll get to watch much of #UFCTampa as a live viewer.

But I did jinx the card by betting a round-robin of DNGTDs.

So enjoy your 41 full rounds of action tonight, fight fans.

After 4 glorious years, my beloved pizza oven finally ascended to the pizzeria in the sky.

But Ooni (great company) hooked me up with a brand new Ooni Koda 16 as a replacement, so the pies can keep coming.

Here's pizza No. 1 in the new oven:

On a scale of 1-10, how amped are you for #UFC310 on Saturday with Pantoja vs. Asakura, Rakhmonov vs. Garry & Gane vs. Volkov?

I'm probably at a 7. I'm big on Rakhmonov, and the vet-filled prelims give the card a boost for me personally.

A lot of the fun has been sucked out of the sport, but I love going back to that era when I little dose of nostalgia.

UFC, EliteXC, Strikeforce, Affliction, IFL, AX TV Fights, the PRIDE zombies – we had it all.

Been digging into the history of MMA/UFC trading cards. "Vintage" UFC is basically the 2009 Topps set.

And it's making me feel old.

Sifting through those cards, I realize I was cageside for many of the fights.

It's like seeing yourself in the background of a Mantle rookie card.

No way I was gonna be up for prelims. But main card? I'm pretty proud of myself.
