If you feel like things were better when you first became a fan of X, Y, or Z thing, it’s actually because they were. You’re not just depressed, bitter, or nostalgic. You’re right and you should own it.

Less intense heat this time. Lotta fat. A little flavor, but it's delicious. Probably weakest episode of the lot, but still good. Needs to start picking up quick or it'll lose people.

2011, a no name kid wins a tournament(3 fights in 3 months) then steps in a cage to compete against a consensus top 5 LW in the world. Very little skills to speak of. Just heart, heavy hands, a dream and a willingness to engage. FOTY 2011…then a decade later FOTY IN 2021. Still

5 was okay. Followed up a terrific character beat in the worst way. Fun episode that shouldn't have been fun. 6 absolutely COOKED. Great stuff. Wish it was a little more emotionally cathartic and climactic. Missed opportunity. Will be made up for in 7-9 I'm sure. Fights RULED.

Was not made up for in 7. No real thematic glue. Still solid. A step down. Born Again's old creative team definitely ran out of steam here. Looking forward to the final two from the overhauled team.

This guy is gonna be a treat to watch in the UFC and he’s only 28.

I was right to be excited. This would stand with the best episodes of the Netflix DD. If this is the creative team involved in season 2, let them have a million seasons. It’s no longer the MCU to me. It’s the DDCU.

Fun fact: Volk is the second ever two-time UFC featherweight champion, and the first ever to actually win the belt twice. Aldo’s WEC belt became a UFC belt by default and he was upgraded to undisputed champ from interim after Conor vacated.

Last Daredevil post of the year. A tiny bit let down bur only because of the absolute peak that was last week. Felt like more of a Punisher proof of concept, not a bad thing btw. Really enjoyed the season overall. Left unsatisfied with no resolution, but it’s only half the show.

He is risen

Disgusting scorecards. Absolutely repugnant.

I can't believe Belal didn't try to take Jack down or pressure him or anything. Here you see all the takedowns Belal didn't shoot. JDM's footwork, awareness, composure, active defense, and smart work in the pocket and clinch definitely didn't have anything to do with that.

Holloway's body shots against Poirier in their third fight

They’re discriminating against non slop enjoyers. ESPN+ will play the garbage main event and the annoying kicky pirate but actual good MMA Yan/McGhee, noooo, that’s not available in your area sir.

Not gonna deceive, MMA kinda sucks right now. 317 was the promise of a bright, exciting future. 318 was reverence for the action heroes we leave behind. 319 was a testament that right now in the present moment, things are dumber and duller than we could have foreseen.
