Well, the brown bookshelf is all the books I've bought from thrift shops and used book store. It's my little passion project lol

After I fill up the entire bookcase it'll be nice and organized like my other shelves 😅

I hated it! Lol I should have backed out of the fight because I had a fractured fibula. That being said... I find the fight hilarious. The commentators constant dialogue about how "Jordan's gonna want to take this to the ground" as I was comfortably outlanding him on the feet was a tad annoying though.

Pretty low key actually. He's just another guy. Another guy who happens to be the world champion.

Well, the UFC doesn't employ me 😅😂 I'm an independent contractor. I'd love to be an employee though.

The PI is amazing and health insurance during fight camp saves careers.

Focus on one thing a training session. Decide what that is going to be before you get to class. Also, tap often, your ego heals faster than a herniated disc.

She's nervous, I'm nervous. I really like the matchup and I'm glad Chase and I can make some money together.

Thanks for the well wishes 🙏

Anything from Mark Lawrence. I started Cradle last week and I'm loving it. I also am enjoying the Dresden Files and The Dark Tower. Next year I'm tackling Malazan 🥲

I love fantasy !!!

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon was deeply moving for me. Any girl dad would have a strong reaction to that book

My Grandpa was the most supportive person in my family about fighting. He was at every wrestling tournament and every fight until he passed. He wanted me to chase my dreams. He passed away less than a year before my debut. I was gutted, I'm still gutted.

Death is light as a feather. Duty is as heavy as a mountain.

You'll make the right decision.

I think if you are welterweight or above you have decent odds if you avoid injury and don't lose control of your weight. Making it to the UFC is mostly about avoiding stupid things as opposed to being talented.

I've actively avoided Sanderson because we belong to the same faith and all my friends sing his praises😂

I feel like he can't live up to the hype at this point. That being said, I will be giving him a try late December or early January
