I haven't written a longform tech article in awhile. Here's one on Ilia Topuria, covering his developments and successes, some concerns for a possible loss, and how he matches up vs Oliveira. Link: danalbert.substack.com/p/seeing-red-a…

One of Poirier's best punches throughout the fight was a jolting power jab thrown off his front foot, in a similar motion to Dempsey's falling step
I’ve seen some mutuals feel kinda embarrassed about spiraling over Gaza and it’s like nah man the shit is enough to drive you crazy
So many stupid people think having a calm demeanor and seeming above it all makes them more rational. No, actually if you don’t feel pretty intensely about the injustices of the world that doesn’t make you logical it means you’re less human.
You can tell that Sterling loss has bothered Sandhagen for awhile. Dvalishvilli won't present that game over threat, though philosophically can challenge Sandhagen's composure and ability to lead the initiative just as much as the variety of Sandhagen can be a bother to him.
Champion Merab Dvalishvili will fight Cory Sandhagen at #UFC320 on October 4th. (per Dana White) #UFC #MMA #UFCESPN #UFC2025 #BWChampionship #CoMainEvent
Poirier and Holloway have a disagreement about how many jabs Dustin landed
Max Holloway's Intercepting Body Kick 🧵 In Holloway's fights with Poirier, the one coming forward tending to be winning, as both fighters often back up in straight lines In their 3rd fight, Max came prepared to intercept Poirier's shifting combos.
I'm besotted with this sidestep to the inside angle and uppercut that Bam Rodriguez keeps hurting people with
I think reading is fun if the book you're reading is good
the best way to turn a student off of books forever is to try to trick them into thinking that reading is fun. reading is not fun, and if the only reason they are reading is for fun they will stop when they realize the truth.
DJ did incredible things but he got to defend a belt against Chris Cariaso, John Moraga, Wilson Reis and Ray Borg The closest thing to that level of opposition Dustin met is an old Jim Miller in 2017
Going on this app everyday is one of the most depressing things you can do. What’s happening infront of our eyes in Palestine is outrageous. Shame on every western leader and big celebrity with a voice not trying to help stop this. Scum of the earth the lot of them

I broke down a boxing masterclass and it's totally free to watch for everyone.
I discovered this game today, the gameplay video was uploaded 3 days ago This 3D beat em up action game is made by ONE GAME DEVELOPER using Unity: FORASTERO I call it COWBOY GOD HAND I love that it isn't being subtle because we need more God Hand clones & finally we got one:
43 years ago, Salvador Sánchez defeated Azumah Nelson by TKO in round 15 of 15 to retain the WBC, Ring & lineal featherweight titles. Sánchez passed away just three weeks later in a car accident at the age of 23.
You had to be there. This was billed as the perfect final of the tournament, a clash of styles for the ages. Instead, Usyk gave a legitimate world class boxer a boxing lesson. To this day, it's his magnum opus.
7 years ago, Oleksandr Usyk defeated Murat Gassiev by UD12 to become the undisputed cruiserweight champion. Usyk becomes just the third to do so in the divisions history after Evander Holyfield & O'Neil Bell.
New espidoe of the pod is available in all platforms! I recap the action from UFC 318, talk about Dustin's career, plus the usual of reacting to fight announcements and previewing Whittaker vs RDR!
