video review : Karol Rosa versus Luana Santos at UFC Fight Night

I’d love to trade places with Karol Rosa during the second round of this bout as Luana Santos; one of the cutest girls to ever step foot in the Octagon; lies on top of her, “chest to chest” and groin to groin, for most of it. There doesn’t seem to be a moment, in fact, in which Santos isn’t winning the fight. Rosa seems content to get dominated and who could blame her?

Home Run Inn Classic Pizza : Meat Lovers

This isn’t a Classic, but it’s good enough for what it is; Pizza you’re supposed to keep frozen until you’re ready to bake and eat it. It’s “made from scratch”, so you might get a retarded oval instead of a circle, but don’t be dismayed. You can still “open up a cold drink and enjoy your pie while watching the ball game with your family.”

video review : UFC Freedom 250

video review : UFC Freedom 250

They should’ve called this UFC Freedom or UFC 329 to avoid people confusing it with UFC 250, but that’s its only fault. It was promoted as the biggest UFC event ever and lives up to the hype. It’s not the best, despite every bout ending in a knockout; the first five fights were a little too predictable; but the main event is an epic.

Underdog Justin Gaethje winning the championship from Ilia Topuria on an event celebrating America; props to President Trump for making this happen; couldn’t have been scripted much better. El Matador gets gored; his corner stops the fight after a doctor stoppage is overruled by Marc Goddard; as Gaethje shocks the world.

2025 Nissan Sentra

The 2025 Nissan Sentra is considered a budget car, but you can’t really tell by the look and feel. It’s “sporty” enough for the price. The most notable features are the 360 Safety Shield, which includes a handy Blind Spot Warning, circular GT-R air vents and relatively spacious trunk. The vehicle also has a notable fuel economy of “up to 40 MPG”.

audio review : Wonderful ( song ) … Aretha Franklin

This song is like Michael Jackson’s You Rock My World not just in “the vibe” they share but because Aretha Franklin is a legendary soul singer returning from an album hiatus with a hit single that also happens to be one of her best. It’s all groovy romance and jazzy scatting for a beau who’s “6-feet-2” and knows “what to do”.

Great Value Ice Cream : Peanut Butter Cup

Great Value Ice Cream : Peanut Butter Cup

What’s missing from the name is the “chocolaty fudge”; not to mention the chocolate of the actual Cups; which sort of hampers the eating experience. Not that this isn’t good ice cream because it is, but it would taste even better if it were just flavored with Peanut Butter as the concept suggests.

video review : MVP MMA : Rousey Versus Carano

This first MVP MMA event offers a main card of early finishes. If not for the Nate Diaz bloodbath, which ends with a corner stoppage, they would be all first-rounders. KO artists Robelis Despaigne, Salahdine Parnasse and Francis Ngannou do as expected. Ronda Rousey still being able to win via armbar as quick as she does is a pleasant surprise. “There’s no way I could’ve ended it better than this”, she says and she’s probably right.

audio review : Bully ( album ) … Kanye West

audio review : Bully ( album ) ... Kanye West

This is an album of mostly songlets; few cuts reach the three-minute mark; an increasingly less unconventional rap trend that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s the music that matters most and Kanye West still knows how to make good music. Some of the music may be stolen; he’s back to pitch-shifting old soul samples; but that’s the Kanye way.

College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, Twisted Fantasy and Donda are all good albums. Bully is too. That makes Ye the rapper with more good albums than any other I know. If that isn’t true, it’s only because he’s become more of a singer. Heil Hitler should’ve been included though. It could’ve replaced CeeLo Green ruining the title track.

Kicker EB54

Kicker EB54

These Kickers do have “superior sound” and “lasting comfort” compared to a lot of similar earbuds. The only problem is that the “silicone tips”, which come in three sizes, slip off too easily. It’s an annoying flaw that can be avoided by being extra careful not to mistakenly yank the cords while you’re jamming out.

video review : Jiří Procházka versus Carlos Ulberg at UFC 327

“You gotta watch the check left hook of Ulberg because Jiří has the tendency to run in”, Din Thomas advises and that’s exactly how this bout ends. That’s despite Carlos enduring a crippling leg injury that should’ve sealed his fate. All Procházka had to do was be careful, which goes against his reckless samurai fighting style thus costing him another chance at the title.

video review : Alexa Grasso versus Maycee Barber at UFC Fight Night

I was rooting for Alexa Grasso, but I didn’t want her opponent to die. That’s my concern; the first Octagon death; as Maycee Barber lies still, eyes open, after being knocked/choked out in the very first round. She stays in that position for over a minute, like an LIS patient, before finally coming back to life. It’s a beautifully dramatic ending to a fight that was just getting started.

audio review : Better Days ( song ) … Janet Jackson

The best part of this song; a ballad about overcoming depression; is the bridge, specifically the way Janet Jackson emphasizes the “go” in “let it go”. The highlight should be the final chorus section, on which she and her background vocals harmonize over the dreamy soundscape, but it’s not far behind.
