I recently re-watched “THE KILLER,” so you know what album I’m rocking today:

My latest Fluid Thoughts is up, where I breakdown picks, plays and analysis for #UFCWinnipeg and #CFFC153: open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...
Me every time I pour myself a coffee alone at home
I see Costa doing well against a southpaw and I think about the analysis of @dantommma.bsky.social
lol my man! (Though sadly I went against his 6-1 record against lefties and picked Murzakanov 😭 lol)
Arrow mail day (except MallRats was extinct print and ordered via eBay and the package damaging shows🤦🏽♂️)
#UFC327 is chalked full of live underdogs and volatile matchups alike…
It’s a tricky card to approach, but I found a decent amount of spots I like as I’m aiming to keep my current streak going.

In case you miss hearing me break down fights via podcasts, my guy @feno.bsky.social invited me on The Fight Site Presents YouTube channel to break down the entirety of #UFC327: www.youtube.com/live/yz9RLnt...
Been 3 years since I’ve been home (Hawaii)…
Really feel like I should be back there on what’s my 1st vacation in 2 years but life ain’t fair like that.
At least I’ve been able to get a lot of things done that have stacked up these past couple years.
Finally came in
I’ll be finally taking time off from MMA for the 1st time in over 2 yrs, so this will be the last Fluid Thoughts/picks post/podcast that I’ll be doing for a while…
Better late than never as the #UFCLondon breakdown portion of the pod is just under an hr (and free👇) open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...
Asian dude got played off when accepting his Oscar, huh? You don’t say.
Ah! Well I feel less bad for not getting it since that’s one I still have yet to see 😅
My guess was gonna The Long Good Friday but I went back to watch the scene I thought and don’t recognize it 😭
It looks so damn familiar
Oh shit gifs are actually uploading here now? Sweet.
Might have time this weekend to finally start writing about my favorite films from last yr and hoping that it helps spark some creative juices for some more fruitful endeavors…
Also cleared to train again despite my wrist tear…
Good things hopefully ahead in both those arenas
Was just saying that right now is the first time I technically don’t have a strictly gambling-related job in years and man does it actually feel good despite being down one less paycheck atm.
Did an impromptu pod that went longer than I thought, but I shared some thoughts on the recent bad news and what’s next for me, as well as my usual stats and analysis for cards like #CFFC151 and #UFCVegas114, in my latest Fluid Thoughts (which is free to subscribe👇) open.substack.com/pub/dantommm...
Glad you got her taken care of!
New Past Lives: Why Slavery Matters. Our final episode of the first season looks back at why it's essential to understand the sheer scope of slavery, how fragile the idea of human value really is, and why we can never go back. www.pod.link/1852618120/e...
The ironic part is actually agreed with a lot of the criticisms both about me/me getting the job & respect those voicing critiques way more than the folks who I thought were my friends (who spoke clearly with their actions)
Grateful to still have multiple jobs so it’s back to work for me…
3/3
As eluded to above, I know getting the hosting gig only amplified the hate for me here given that my decade+ of work in MMA and lifelong relationship with martial arts is apparently only represented in the 3/10 yrs of… my betting record?
So yeah—hopefully my haters are finally satiated.
2/3
Well, to the surprise of some and delight of many, my time with the Dog Or Pass Pod is over.
It was just as much a surprise to me as it was to you that I even got the shot, but I was immensely grateful to Pat Mayo for the opp and gave my best.
Please support the show and my guy Mad Lab MMA.
1/3
my inner-monologue most days
Thank you, Mikhail!
Dan really nails it in this article
Yup. Lots of reasons for what we’re seeing with the UFC, frankly…
In fact, I wrote a column explaining said things last year that’s age incredibly well via @mmajunkie.bsky.social: mmajunkie.usatoday.com/story/sports...
The timeline over on Twitter today
I get it and feel the same way. It’s a good burger for a decent price but why it gets labeled as overrated is because of the fans of In and Out being so all or nothing when they find out you don’t think it’s the best burger in the world. That form of hype and needless long lines turn me off lol
