And it's probably only a pipe dream anyway. He'll sit there, glowering between "long rests" of his eyes/ear (which was an excuse for his head touching his shoulder). HE won't have fun, just "revenge" by putting the fights in an inappropriate place & spending all that money at an inappropriate time.
I hope you get some entertainment out of it either way.
It appears that more people are joining and their profit includes membership fees so they're going to pass it on to consumers. That's win/win and about as ethical as a for-profit company can get. Good for them, may they continue to stand apart and hopefully inspire other companies to get off the greed fixes and into the long term loyalty advantages based on trust and quality goods.
Josh Hokit is something else. He continued his antics at the weigh-in where he made fun of fighters who fight two divisions below their actual weight. One fan even said that it was disrespectful to criticize fighters who work so hard to cut weight. Hokit critics don't realize that they're part of the comedy show. Hokit could be fighting for the title next and it's all because of the hard work he put in. He wasn't given anything. He represents the American Dream.
having no one to blame on his midnight rants might frustrate him so much he'd break out the nukes on Iran, and California's voting booths....
ETA: I just saw a Belgian woman I follow on FB include a great line on her rant about 47, in a piece addressing his assertion that "guys like me built this country"
She said That's not leadership.
That's a parasite calling the host lazy.
I hope everyone has a nice Flag Day on Sunday
Heck, Nascar has had their races on Amazon Prime for several weeks recently and we've survived without it because we're not willing to pay for Amazon Prime to watch them.

If UFC has $30 million to lose, they have too much money.

Good luck at the hospital tomorrow.
Good luck at the hospital tomorrow.
My specifics:
The only chicken I buy is cooked Costco 4.99 ea. We only eat the white meat and occasional leg, used to feed a lot of the other meat to our cats (last one died) but still have visiting critters that we give some of the meat to. And the thighs go to my MIL. She can afford it but at 90 its better to just have cooked dark (her preference) meat and nothing to cook or cut up. (the bones get turned into broth).
The very good sourdough 6.49 for 2 pk, which is 6.49 ea at Safeway. Its one bread type DH and I both like. I suppose there MIGHT be a decent loaf that he would like on sale for $3 once in a while, but this is just easier.
Romaine hearts 6pk 4.99. Same price for a 3pk in other stores.
that right there is probably $15 cheaper than a run to a supermarket.
plus gas is usually cheaper than SW, and I have gotten better use of my SW rewards for "stuff" as I only have a 10 gal. gas tank
Other items I get are at least comparable to sale prices in supermarkets and I have more trust in Costco's ethics. I'll buy farm raised fish there that I'm leery about anywhere else. I seldom have a problem with quality
and no messing with rewards or DQs
but we DO get 2% back.
The reg. Gold membership is $65/yr and gets 1% back. If you plan a big purchase, like tires or an appliance, $130 for executive membership gets 2% back. And they INTEND for the customer to get at least $130 back at that level.
This year, we didn't shop (or drive) much so only got $36 check
and Carl found out that we can take that check to CS and since we did NOT earn our membership fee back we can apply the "extra" $65 we paid to next year as a Gold member. If we'd earned $100 (over the $65 Gold fee), they would give us $30 more. So all one has to justify IS the $65 fee, anything else can be reclaimed in some fashion.
You get 2 cards per membership and if your DH doesn't ever go, I believe you could have someone else as your 2nd party and negotiate between yourselves about splitting the fee. MIL was contemplating doing this with her daughter, even though they live in different states. It looked like it would be do-able. I don't remember if Party #2 has to be a relative.
As my DS stockpile dwindles, I'm getting things like vitamins there instead of wrestling with a CVS or WAGs deal. As I age, I miss more details and/or read the wrong tag or just don't want to mess with sending someone back to check.
We're not on the ragged edge of poverty, either, much of my deal and sale shopping is habit or feeling like I'd choke if I paid $$ for something I used to enjoy. I'd rather find an alternative, make or grow it myself. Hope my need to use a lot of words was comprehensive and not fatiguing to read!!

We aren't on the edge of poverty either, thankfully!
