Dana knows his shit. He picked a genuine fan with true dedication and excitement for mma

[@_cloudface]

😒 he literally just picked the only "celebrity" that talked about MMA during an interview on late night TV. You make out like there were dozens of other possible choices for Dana, there wasn't. Joe had been on TV but his career was fairly dead and he knew about MMA: an absolute moron that didn't know their shit at all would picked Joe. Plus he worked for Dana's favorite amount to pay people: free. It's weird to proudly simp over someone for making a really obvious choice.

[@fupamongoopa640]

My best friend growing up in the 90's was skilled with computers and coding. Back then computers were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today and he was often bullied for being a "skinny geek". At the age of 14 he was asked to make a basic website for a local businessman and all he asked for in return was some free food and movie tickets for himselfand his friends. We ended up getting to see the first Jurassic Park movie because of his little hussle. Turned out that businessman had some powerful connections and by the age of 21 my friend was flown out to California to work in Silicon Valley. He's now an engineer for FB and lives a life beyond normal comprehension. I catch up with him every couple of years and get to enjoy with him the astounding financial benefits he has reaped over the years. All it takes is 1 moment of serendipity to change someone's life forever.
