Jason Herzog is one of MMA's better referees but that was objectively irresponsible officiating for Mohammad Yahya vs. Steven Nguyen. Fight should've been stopped in Round 1. Nguyen goes on to set record for most knockdowns in a fight (6). Sus! Doctor called it off. #UFCAbuDhabi

A few words from me in this Guardian article about the horrid Ali ‘revival’ Act. theguardian.com/sport/2025/aug…

As an Ali, I’m completely against altering the Muhammad Ali Act. My grandfather fought for it to protect fighters from getting screwed over. Remove it, and promoters take control while fighters get paid less. Keep the act and protect the fighters who put their lives on the line.

Been this way for a while now but whenever the camera pans out to a crowd shot during a live sports/entertainment event these days all you see are people holding up their phones recording. It sucks.
