I may actually be cursed. My 1st post was on Nurmagomedov v Hughes 1: the rematch ended up being behind a pay wall on an app no one has. My second was about RdR: resulted in him immediately losing. Still worth reading for MMA fans lessoninviolence.blogspot.com?m=1 https://lessoninviolence.blogspot.com/?m=119 Oct 2025 11:19 +0000at://did:plc:z4kp7i26bimbitrbvnhmra75/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3k6lxmp422hhttps://bsky.app/profile/erindrake11.bsky.social/post/3m3ixsmsox22dFinished another post!
