I loved reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. It felt so beautifully written and personal, and yet so honest in the struggles of growing up in Brooklyn in the 1910’s. If you haven’t read this already, or if you’re stuck in a bit of a reading slump, you absolutely should pick this up.

“Dana used to say it was best vs. best, but today, it’s all about entertainment.”

Undefeated flyweight and former UFC fighter Muhammad Mokaev calls out Dana White for releasing undefeated fighters, arguing that the UFC is prioritizing entertainment over sport:

“From the business side, they’re right, but from the sport’s perspective, they’re wrong. At least they could have waited until their best fighters took away our undefeated records, rather than letting go of a guy who beat their No. 1 contender, not even in his prime.”
