Apologies for the abrupt cuts during the video. I had to remove sections for copyright reasons - for context they were 1. Explaining the 'Cage Warriors' promotion 2. Topuria's win at Cage warriors 3. Showcasing Paddy's feud at the press conference with Ilia. Hope you enjoyed the video

I'm a hardcore MMA podcast content consumer. Your content is 10 out of 10. Outstanding work, and your live streams are good stuff, without unnecessary vulgarity and weird explicit x-rated content (like Brendan Schaub, and Jesse on Fire). I'd simply emplore you to please review the history of England and America, and try to understand that Trump (despite you not liking him as a person) is the current leader of the 2nd Revolutionary War. This time, the war is being fought against the entire world. It is critical that the American Patriots succeed, for the sake of the planet. I hope you can be more open minded; people like Luke Thomas are unbearable with a myopic perspective that is far detached from reality. Take time to consider the comment, no need to respond.

First of all, well done with the video, the production quality is outstanding. However, I would like to know what is the reasoning for labeling Topuria's career as self-destructive ?
