HI I AM RETURNING YOUR ASK!!!
fav fighters and why??????? go into so much detail tell me everything i am a preteen girl laying on her stomach swinging my legs :))
*cracks knuckles disgustingly* sorry this is gonna be really long and formatted like a buzzfeed article pls brace yourself and get a nice hot drink to sip on
el cucuy: lean, a little bit mean, definitely screams
Tumblr media
(tuf 13 finale)
i first discovered tony through the ultimate fighter compilations and i instantly related to him because i’m also a non-white kid who grew up in a country ass town of fuckville, nowhere and got teased by my white classmates for it. clearly he had a rough childhood but i like to think that everything he’s been through has made him a stronger and wittier fighter. i unironically consider him one of the toughest and smartest in the game--which is weird because most people are chomping at the bit to call him stupid or cringe, but i stand by it!!
Tumblr media
(tony OBLITERATING michael at the ufc 262 pre-fight press conference) 
obvi his fighting style is super exciting to watch too. his spinning shit is top tier and i love that he has this edgy yet fun-loving personality where like. he’ll rip a guy’s arm off but he’ll do it with a smile on his face lol. it’s just very endearing to me for some reason.
Tumblr media
(ufc 229: tony ferguson vs. anthony pettis)
also: least important of all the points but he's soo funny and i feel like if he were my age i'd just be in love with him?? i'm just so drawn to bizarre and lighthearted people LOL he's so friggin cute.
Tumblr media
(ufc 216 embedded: vlog series - episode 4)
nick diaz
Tumblr media
(elitexc: nick diaz vs mike aina)
my emo boy, my cesar gracie jiu jitsu black belt, my one and only (jk he would never) nick diaz!! now i’m not gonna lie it’s a lot harder for me to squeal about nick because he’s said multiple times that he doesn’t like fighting; it’s just what he does. the list of things he actually seems to care about include his family (most notably nate),
Tumblr media
(ufc 266: espn interview with brett okamoto)
doing triathlons, and teaching jiu-jitsu and it tears me up inside that he fights because he feels pressured by the ufc and the fans. he’s even said multiple times that he started fighting to protect himself from other kids when he was in high school.
i feel conflicted because his “you-gotta-do-what-you-gotta-do” attitude is the reason why i love him so much, but it’s the same reason he keeps fighting (and suffering while ufc executives make money off of him)….
Tumblr media
(ufc 47: backstage interview)
i guess the most appropriate thing i can fangirl about is his almost childlike bluntness and how much he hates the fame and the press. apparently he once rejected a sponsorship deal (that probably would have made him a lot of money) because he thought the product was ‘the stupidest fucking thing he'd ever seen in his life’. he also straight up said at a press conference for him vs. gsp that the ufc was "selling wolf-tickets" (aka lying to hype up the fight) like… RIGHT in front of dana lmao
if it were like the early 2000s i would definitely go on about how hot and fine he is, but given that he’s past his prime (through no fault of his own, he had 5 years of his career stolen from nsac for smoking weed) and signed to a fight promotion that doesn’t care about him, all i want is for him to retire peacefully and to be able to do what he wants :(
Tumblr media
(dream 3: nick diaz vs katsuya inoue. hehe look at him bowing)
whenever people talk about nick’s fighting style, they always default to "he's got an iron chin, he's got endurance, and he talks a lot of shit" but he's also a jiu-jitsu practitioner who can be very respectful? he helps opponents up after fights (lifted frank shamrock from his feet and called him a legend) and even expresses remorse when he seriously hurts them (accidentally dislocated joe hurley's arm, immediately released him, and couldn't stop checking on him even though he just won) and like. idk. it makes me mad. he's actually so intelligent and polite and i wish more people would focus on that..
the highlight: an mma fighter for jesse pinkman enjoyers
Tumblr media
(ufc fight night 135: pre-fight interview)
LOL obvious answer incoming. it’s justin gaethje!! now out of all the fighters i like, i think my love for him might be the most superficial 😭 i just find his face and body and whole demeanour so cuuute like?? his red hair? his big blue eyes? his cute little lip scar that he got from a headbutt (of course he did)? the fact that he seems so incredibly one-brain-celled almost every time he speaks? gaethje is a cage fighter with the bone density of a gorilla, but uhhh he's also kind of.... babey.
Tumblr media
(wsof 34: justin gaethje vs. luiz firmino ROLLING THUNDERR WOOOOO!!!!!!)
but ofc the most important thing about a fighter is their fighting!! my favourite thing about gaethje’s style, weirdly enough, is how light and bouncy he is. i can’t think off the top of my head of any other fighters that have this weird quality?? it's how he’s able to apply lots of pressure on his opponents but also spin super-fast like a top whenever he needs to; like in the middle of a fight he'll go from kicking legs like he's 200 pounds to doing spinning shit like he's 125. idk it's crazy, i don't know how it works and i probably never will, but i just find that really fascinating
Tumblr media
(ufc 209 embedded: vlog series - episode 3)
aand thats it!! phew you're finally free lol. i do love the other lightweights and some of the welter/middle/heavyweights but these three are my absolute favs so far! granted i've only watched like a portion of the ufc archive and i've yet to really explore anything else like one or bellator even though i really should--not to mention all the current ufc happenings. i'm pretty out of the loop but uhh you know i'm just a girl watching some cage fights and that's it really <3
anyways i hope you had fun reading this :> agghghhgh thank you for asking me back WOO

I just had this thought about MMA fighter!Terano who’s so fucking insufferable that all his secretaries throw the towel when it comes to working for him, either because of his fucking attitude, or his bad habits of messing around with women after fights so that they have to work twice as hard to keep his reputation medium clean, or him getting involved with them and messing them up so bad that they just quit because he doesn’t want to give them a a proper relationship, either way, he’s a lot.
And so his manager, tired of the same shit happening over and over again, hire reader -a childhood friend of him that he knows has the character to help him with the fighter- and that’s when Terano’s world flips over in a way that he can’t quite decide if it’s good or bad.
And we know he adores a good challenge, but reader is… difficult, and that’s a lot to say coming from him.
More of this…

Reem has announced his retirement. The former K-1 WGP champion, Strikeforce and Dream heavyweight champ has called it a career. He’s also said he’s vegetarian now. Good on him.
Realizing that a lot of y’all might not have seen it in 2010, so if you get the chance go watch through Reem’s run in the K-1 Grand Prix.

🥊🔥 When You've Got Believers: Give Your Goals 💯! 🔥🥇

Watch "TXT (투모로우바이투게더) The Name Chapter Concept Trailer" on YouTube
youtube
This is Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun and HueningKai. Five boys in a k-pop group called TOMORROW X TOGETHER or TXT. They're a different kind of K-Pop group with a different kind of pop music. They are also one of the very few groups who base their artistry on storytelling, which is what they excel at.
Their career has been based on concepts with different visuals, choreos, style of music and arcs of a single story that we're still uncovering with them since their debut 4 years ago.
This video is a trailer of their upcoming concept (of their upcoming album, The Name Chapter). And it's also a taste of how strong they are as artists inside the mainstream market of K-pop culture.
It's quite a surrealist beautiful storytelling with hints on previous arcs. So if you like what you see, go check out TXT discography and music videos since their second album The Dream Chapter: Magic, so you'll get some hints of the TXT world.
You're welcome.
