    Hahaha. At least those guys weren’t lined up for a hw title fight like Povetkin just was.

Houston may be losing but those Oilers colors are sweet

In an interview with Lara Trump, the #UFC CEO thinks that he will be investigated because of his ties to the president....Maybe also because his company received a "no bid" contract with the FBI at about the same time they threw an event on the White House lawn.

Sabs doing this with a little buzz, right?

I don’t believe a damn thing he is saying or the Homeland Security guy.
