    Really? Why didn't he didn't mention the physical abuse to his wife or the fact that his mom hates him partly because he cheated on his wife with his sister in law in his moms house? You could write an entire book about stuff Lex didn't mention. You could watch this interview and almost think Dana was a decent human being. The interview didn't scratch the surface of who this guy really is or what the UFC is really like. It was more like a propaganda piece than an interview.

    You must love yourself first before you are able to love others (her). Your wife is a teacher holding up a mirror for you. She technically has nothing to do with this - she can't win in this scenario since it's always been you. Eat healthy, work out, watch some stand up, smoke some weed, exhaust yourself physically then throw out a prayer and welcome the change. You got this!

    @@treali "probably" is not a good arguement lol. You have a situation where you have a guy who is in shape, not even 40 and has actually spent some time training MMA and competing in athletic events, Against a guy in his 50s, completely untrained and who looks like he couldn't do 5 pushups. Both fights are freak shows and that's why it's hypocritical to act like one is safe and the other isn't. For every argument you could make about how it's more dangerous for Mike as Jake is trained, you could just as easily make the reverse argument that at least Mike is in shape and has endless experience along with an elite understanding of boxing defense, whilst Zuck could potentially just throw a big overhand with Elon not having a clue how to defend himself. Some of the worst knockouts come when 2 novices fight but one has at least a slight understanding of what he's doing whilst the other has no clue how to protect himself TLDR - not even saying zuck/Elon is worse, but dana acting like one is bad whilst pushing the other, is silly
