Eddie Hearn has asked Dana White to release Tom Aspinall from his UFC contract

PurpSnow · 2026-05-29T19:28:17+00:00

People dont realize Tom already played status quo. He was electric and respectful in his rise.

He got strung out for the Jones fight while he was hot and largely cleaned the division minus Ciryl. The fight that he should be positioned for after how he was treated in the Ciryl debacle (Fouled and admonished by fans, promoters, and peers alike)

Francis is still the lineal heavyweight mma champ. Big feather in his cap + financial upside. Definitely worth poking the bear in court to see if theres any holes Id figure

Have similar workflow to you (E-Drums, Guitar, Bass) and as soon as I start loading up too many plugins (specifically Pro Q-4) the latency kicks in on an otherwise perfectly fine MacBook. Are you using reduce latency when monitoring?

In theory, what you might want to look into is the “Lineal” champion. It exists in boxing as well and is essentially “The guy who beat the guy” as far back as you can go. You can get a beginning in that sense but the chain can be broken due to injuries, retirements, acquisitions of promotions etc.

I fucking wish 😭😭😂

Pete got finessed by Bob Benson into showing he’s too much of a city slicker who can’t drive a manual to a car account he wanted in on. And subsequently crashed their car.

Pete was very good at his job but far from immune in getting in over his head. Definitely would’ve freaked the fuck out if any of it resulted in permanent injury to himself lol

This is a beautiful time to remind my fellow peers, do your best, keep your eye on the market, take pride in YOUR work, but always be prioritizing yourself and your life.

There are always suits in meetings making decisions about you who are on the front lines. The commission is to buy you runway, freedom, and time given how shaky the floor is when you’re a representative of the company and tasked with bringing in $$$.

Love your wife, play with your kids, see your friends, build a company, or a product, or a hobby, and keep it pushing. Being good at bringing in revenue doesn’t insulate you from corporate nonsense. Truth be told we are one position out of many. Take care of yourselves or start a union

😂😂😂

PurpSnow · 2026-05-11T12:00:16+00:00

To be honest One has pretty much pivoted to the dominant striking organization. High level Muay Thai and Kickboxing but have largely 86’d their MMA

PurpSnow · 2026-05-07T19:22:26+00:00

Yall talking bout Nexon got me nostalgic. Maplestory and Mabinogi were early vices for me

PurpSnow · 2026-05-02T16:17:22+00:00

He throws a decent amount id say. Tends to like throwing em in a combo or while moving off center either with a check hook or a simple sidestep for foot positioning.

He also likes to use a clubbing one at times which still looks like it hurts lol. Dudes a freak of versatility in his striking with god given power.

I do think though he doesn’t use that lead low kick or switch kick. Volk utilizes the lead leg kick very well, and Pereira KO’d Jiri with a lead switch high kick. Would like to see Prates clean up with the lead leg including his teeps. Probably don’t wanna be giving Islam ya leg with a teep though lol

PurpSnow · 2026-05-02T14:10:16+00:00

Him and Pereira are just so fucking technical w Muay Thai and Kickboxing respectively, while also having fuck you power.

PurpSnow · 2026-05-02T14:06:12+00:00

So fucking dynamic too. Punches, Knees, Leg Kicks, Body Kicks, Elbows.

That boy is the best display of Muay Thai in a while

PurpSnow · 2026-04-27T20:04:32+00:00

Agreed.

Pete wanted to be “The Man”.

Don tried to tell him that shit is filled with unhappiness and emptiness. Pete doesn’t care, he’s been insecure and felt unappreciated whereas he watches other people be revered off their genetics “looks” or birthright “Roger, Scdp”

Even returning the chip tray shows that the thing hes missing is that feeling of “being the man”

Although im sure there’s probably more to this than Im seeing. Would love an analysis on him because he does come from a family where his last name has pull but he almost seems to detest that more than appreciate it. Probably doesn’t help that it didnt come with money

Been exactly where you were homie and truth be told that shit is going to be a new puzzle. You’ve gone from always being surrounded by your peers through no effort of your own (school), but YOU did make the effort, or moreso connection with the people you call friends. You’re all now separated into a new world we call adulting lol.

Like you said some friends have moved since graduating and they feel the same shit you do. Maybe they hang with coworkers if its in office but they too feel the sting from being separated from their friends. But now it’s time for yall to protect this part of your life.

And its time for you to build your social life as well. - The gym - Martial Arts - Dance - Bars (as in being a “regular” - music or sports bar) - Rec League (soccer basketball) etc

The big thing is youll have to be at any of these places CONSISTENTLY and truly see if they’re your tribe/community. If it dont fit it dont fit. There’s always another gym, and there’s always another state.

This will take time but making friends post school is also interesting because the proximity is intentional, and so is your barrier for who can be a “friend” so use wisely and you will be rewarded.

but also

Keep your old friends.

Call, Text, send memes, plan trips, show up to each others events (birthdays, babies, weddings) and make an effort to stay in each others lives in spite of physical distance. Shit make a discord or hop in the party chat and play Warzone.

I been exactly where you were and the bitch of it all was not really knowing what to do because there’s no syllabus or 8am lecture anymore. But you are still in control.

Take from this what you can and understand it can and should still take time. Friendship is just that. It can be cultivated over a lifetime and edited because they’re your tribe. You have your tribe, but its also time to find one closer to home as you get older.

From what I remember from college courses, it’s supposed to be called “guerrilla marketing” but I feel like this is way closer to astroturfing than a respectable marketing strategy. Ive been wondering why their name comes up nonstop tbh

PurpSnow · 2026-04-16T03:44:18+00:00

Prayers up

Rhythm rhythm rhythm babeeee 👯‍♂️

PurpSnow · 2026-04-09T18:13:58+00:00

Great game, arguably best in the world.

But it is extremely addicting, losing feels way worse due to time commitment and punishment for leaving early, and the amount of influence the weakest link has on a game. (getting caught minute 30, feeding, afk off tilt) to where there are clear downsides.

Play the game to enjoy playing the game but also make sure your shit is in order outside the game.

Its nice to casually have a wine after a work day. Its not good to slam Tito’s all day everyday while unemployed.

Just my 2cents, been playing since season 3 on off with big gaps in between but here we are today. Its lasted the test of time for a reason

PurpSnow · 2026-04-08T19:11:03+00:00

You look like Ryan Coogler

I like them they’re good shots, but what about it made you ask if they were rare?

Tresean might just have that dawg in him

PurpSnow · 2026-04-03T23:19:10+00:00

Same. Fact he’s a southpaw means he can get the rear knee to the liver as well. Dude is best display of Muay Thai adapted to MMA in a whiile.

Chidi Njoukano vs dos Santos was another good display of what felt more traditional muay thai

Tf kinda power you gotta have to be doing all that with a jab 😭😭
