UFC 225: Whittaker vs. Romero II Review
Over the last couple of years, I have found MMA, specifically the UFC, to be a complete bore. The lack of stars and divisional relevance, along with the oversaturation of events, has made most fights a standard affair instead of something special. That all changes, at least for one night, as UFC 225 from the United Center in Chicago produced meaningful fights from top to bottom. Continue reading “UFC 225: Whittaker vs. Romero II Review”

NXT 5/9/18 Review: Ciampa vs. Ohno
I haven’t watched NXT in a few months, so I decided to check out last week’s episode.
