video review : UFC 241
Before UFC fans can get over the shock of Mike Beltran’s missing mustache, Ian Heinisch kicks Derek Brunson in the head. Dominick Cruz thinks it’s an instant knockout; you can hear the crack when it lands; but Brunson, fighting smart for a change, goes on to win via decision.
Decisions also go to Paulo Costa over Yoel Romero and Nate Diaz over Anthony Pettis. The former is the best fight; their muscles are impressive and their power is extraordinary; though it’s the latter, specifically Diaz’s return after a three-year hiatus, that was most anticipated.
Stipe Miocic puts on a surprisingly lackluster performance against Daniel Cormier in their Heavyweight Championship title bout; a rematch from UFC 226. He gets punched in the face repeatedly until he finds DC’s weak spot; the liver area Anderson Silva once exploited; and knocks him out.

audio review : I Wanna Thank Me ( album ) … Snoop Dogg
Snoop Dogg shouldn’t be thanking himself for these songs. Most of them are decent enough, thanks mostly to an assortment of Long Beach hood beats; the Looking For You summer anthem is the best in that regard; but some parts are annoying.
It’s good to hear Slick Rick in 2019; he was also featured on Mariah Carey’s newest album; but the song he’s on is on some tired race card bullshit. It’s also disappointing hearing banal Bob Marley, Whodini and Boyz 2 Men song bits used for hooks.
The title is silly, but it’s not Snoop’s worst. Remember Malice N Wonderland? It would be appropriate if this were his final album. I doubt it is; the Thank Me concept is based on his Hollywood star acceptance speech; but maybe it should be.

video review : Conor McGregor versus Nate Diaz at UFC 196
“There is one thing we also should consider and that is the wrestling of Nate Diaz,” Joe Rogan says after a brief exchange about stances, “His submission game is very very highly respected.” The “very/very/highly” bit makes it a ridiculous overstatement, but, as Diaz goes on to prove, the gist is correct.
Conor McGregor has the advantage on the feet; his movement and striking is on a higher level; but Diaz lands a hard punch in the second round, which flips the momentum of the fight. McGregor eventually goes in for a desperate takedown and ends up getting caught in a guillotine choke.
