[@JoshuaEricSViana]

That is insane

[@paulhancock]

Chael and Mikey are the duo we never knew we wanted or needed. Absolutely tremendous. Anyway, One FC is heading down the toilet. So many fighters exposing the organisation now, dirty tricks, not keeping promises, not giving high paid fighters their agreed number of fights etc. It's a shame because I think they've got a really cool unique thing going on out in Singapore and it has never felt like a poor man's version of the UFC like Bellator and the PFL. Great brand with great potential but run by sketchy characters. Hopefully they get a grip and turn it around.

[@DantePotu]

Mikey is a goofbaII that likes hugging too much. Hes leaving onefc because he struggles making weight

not like the UFC right? This sounds to me like the old American superiority complex, using bad propaganda against the ''enemy''.

[@omgitsjavi4443]

​@youtubeconnollyfamily no shame in that.... He's a specialist in 1 area already, if he applies himself right, he could acquire the skills needed. Plus, he's such a good dude, I think he'll be taught and groomed by many greats in the UFC. Take a little from here, and a little from there. And he actually has some striking, there are videos of that too.

People talk a lot about "pizza being bad", but that simply isn't true. It has balanced macronutrients and satisfies cravings. It has a balance of carbs, fats, and proteins, and it can be better if you option for whole-grain crusts, reduced fat cheeses and vegetable heavy toppings. It keeps you from searching for sneaks shortly after eating. It is all in moderation though. You can't expect to eat a meat lovers every day and not gain weight. High quality ingredients help too.

[@TiesBesselJonker]

If that were true, one of the reasons would be the hatred from the mma community towards lgbtq+. There is a taboo for men, so they scare each other with unfree enforced old fashioned conservative visions about two genders and strict heterosexuality. Statistically, there's been many many fighters that actually don't fit in with the brutally imposed discourse and lifeways. It is dangerous for anyone's livelihoods and more, to discuss or live freely in a way that fits with them. Just look at Jon Jones; even the so-called most dangerous heavyweight on earth can't live his truth. It's what the promotion company and the people demand of each other.
