Big John adds a good detail. Alex Ibarra from the CSAC was assigned to Topuria’s corner as he speaks Spanish. So zero translation issues last night.
🚨My guy @JohnMcCarthyMMA breaks down the @Topuriailia and @Justin_Gaethje between rounds 3-4 controversy to help everyone understand what occurred last night

Aleksandre Topuria stopped the fight. “We are going to finish the fight” was him stopping the fight as a non native English speaker and saying “finish” instead of “Stop”. You can see him signaling for a stop. You need to understand they’re not native speakers. #UFCWhiteHouse

After saying “We finish the fight” Aleksandre raises his arms to signal a stoppage. He’s the one who stops the fight. x.com/UFCFRA/status/20663869…

Aleksandre Topuria literally said “Call the Doctor, he can’t see out of his eye”. Corner said, in very clear Spanish that he couldn’t see. Make of that what you will. #UFCWhiteHouse

Obama wearing a tan suit was a scandal. Josh Hokit saying “Michelle Obama is a man” on a cagefight on the lawn of the White House will barely be a blip on the radar because they’re “owning the libs” or some shit. Love my American friends but have some self respect America.
Have we really come to the point where an athlete can say something so absurd, disrespectful, and wrong like that and we just shrug it off? #UFCWhiteHouse

So…the post was real, the dm’s fabricated…so DC posted AI generated screenshots of himself replying via DM’s???? This is what you’re going with?

Tyson Fury suddenly can gain entrance to the US and apparently will work with Zuffa boxing to be announced at the White House? My oh my I wonder who and how it got solved. Just wondering.
The fact Tyson Fury is allowed back on U.S. soil after (alleged) connections to Daniel Kinahan is… significant. #UFCWhiteHouse

Would love to know why Diego Lopes is not walking with a flag. His entire UFC career he’s walked out with a double sided flag with the Mexican flag on one side and the Brazilian flag on the other. #UFCWhiteHouse

Wait so we get the US anthem and then a cover of a song by Australian band AC/DC? Love that Anki mentions flag day and not Trump’s birthday. #UFCWhiteHouse

So, uh, Americans out there watching the UFC show, that was the corniest entrance ever, right? Right? Good thing Dana and the UFC are not political.

As the broadcast announces a Rain Delay I would love to add that Santiago Bernabeu, the stadium in Madrid where Ilia Topuria should be fighting, installed a retractable roof in 2024.
The UFC White House broadcast has started. They're going with a four-person panel and weather updates from Heidi Androl.

So the vibes I always got from him were right, I also love that he calls “The Office” edgy. Needed a good laugh.
Rainn Wilson says "The Office" probably wouldn’t be made today, telling Fox News Digital that media trends have shifted left and that cancel culture makes it difficult for edgy comedies to thrive.

If @MMAdamMartin saw it, it’s enough for me. The MAGA crowd will say it’s fake or he was hacked. The rational crowd will not be surprised that a member of the Trump family, especially Eric or his brother, would say something like this. Good on DC even if it got deleted.
I’m a now deleted post by Daniel Cormier, Eric Trump DM’d him and asked him “are any of the fights tomorrow rigged?” 👀

I've seen at least one legitimate media member saying they saw the tweet before it was deleted. This is bonkers.

There are just so many ways for this event to turn out to be deeply weird. You might think you’ve considered all those possibilities but nope you really haven’t.

I will say that the DMs from Trump were a bit weird. I do wonder if he got hacked and some hacker sent the DMs to DC.
But DC's post 100% was legit. He pulled the classic Jon Jones "tweet and delete" move.
Hopefully, he comments on this sometime tonight.
DC didn't do anything wrong BTW.
Since I've gotten a few DMs about this -- yes, the DC tweet was 100% real, I saw it myself. Others saw it. People screen captured it.
DC tweeted and deleted it quickly, but people screen grabbed it fast, too.
Wonder why DC deleted it. Someone got into his ear quickly, I guess.

Google es gratis, aunque no da interaccionea, pero básicamente: el campo planeado en 2017 y la charola que lo saca son demasiado angostos para FIFA y había que invertir en infraestructura para entrenamiento de los equipos. Aquí un buen artículo del tema: reviewjournal.com/sports/soc…
Todos los estadios de Estados Unidos donde se está jugando el Mundial son extraordinarios, pero sigo sin entender como la FIFA y los organizadores no eligieron el fabuloso Allegiant Stadium de Las Vegas. Un estadio climatizado magnífico para 65 mil personas. Además, por lo que representa la ciudad, era ideal.
