Payout Perspective:

A little step back by AEW from last week as WWE’s NXT stays relatively even over the past two weeks.  It is worthy to note that AEW has secured the male 18-49 demo while NXT holds an advantage with the over 50 demo.  This is obviously based on the two companies and its brand and business strategies but interesting to note that WWE usually has the male demo advantage with SmackDown on Friday nights.

@Josh_HokitUFC You’re gonna cry you were cancelled by the left for “free speech”. And then you’ll post 200 times a day on Twitter until fox and friends invites you on to “tell your story”. And after that you’ll run for congress and your campaign will be centered on white grievance.

This is

Real question. Was this announced or is there an intern somewhere that is taking note of ever fighter’s follow and unfollow?

Ian Garry unfollowed PFL fighter Alexei Pergande after a clip resurfaced of him taking down Garry in sparring:

"Ian Garry is lying about me... I'm not sure why he made up a lie [about me filming him without permission]."
