UFC 202 will break the all-time pay-per-view record and hit 1.6-1.7 million buys

I had already said and gone on record as thinking that this is going to break the pay-per-view record because it has the biggest name in the sport, Conor McGregor... I think it's interesting with not a ton of star power to see if he can break the record and do 1.6, 1.7 million pay-per-view buys with Nate Diaz largely on their own.

UFC 202 was estimated at 1.6 million buys, which at the time did break the record (or tied it depending on source).

An unwritten rule of the 'bro code' is that you break it to save your own ass

That's an unwritten rule of bro code is that you break bro code to save your own ass.

Humorous take on social dynamics and 'bro' culture.

The number one lie in sports is a coach claiming they aren't interviewing for other jobs

Number one [lie] is every time any coach anywhere says they're happy with their job and they're not interviewing. That's number one lie in all sports.

While hyperbolically stated as a 'fact', this is a common trope in sports media where coaches routinely deny interest in jobs they later take (e.g., Nick Saban, Lincoln Riley).

Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira could be one of the greatest fights ever if Adesanya is aggressive

Israel Adesanya... has never lost at 185 pounds, but as a kickboxer he lost twice to this man [Alex Pereira] and once was knocked out rather violently. ... If he approaches this with a more aggressive tenor, this could be one of the greatest fights of all time.

The fight was highly acclaimed and ended in a dramatic 5th round TKO for Pereira, largely fulfilling the hype.

Mac Jones is definitively not the guy to lead the Patriots long-term

I would put a tattoo bet on it right now that [Mac Jones] is not gonna realize anything resembling long-term NFL success. ... everybody locally in Boston understands that he has a C arm at best. Like he's a good leader of men... but that only goes so far.

Mac Jones was benched in 2023 and traded to the Jaguars in 2024 to be a backup, confirming he was not the long-term solution in New England.

Lamar Jackson is better than Michael Vick

I don't need Michael Vick to tell me that this dude [Lamar Jackson] is gonna be better than Michael Vick. And was there no room for improvement for Lamar once he got to the league? Like how did so many teams fucking miss on that?

Lamar Jackson has since won a second MVP (2023), further strengthening the argument that he has a more decorated career than Vick.
