We fight for legacy. We cover up and stay alive for legacy.
Everything must be a commodity with deeper meaning for legacy.
UFC FIGHT PASS PRELIMS
A procession.
JOBY SANCHEZ VS TATEKI MATSUDA
What are they saying now instead of far out?
What I’d like to do is be an asteroid
, and what I mean by that is that I’d like to host a podcast.
I fight for legacy
, and when I say that I mean my corner of the sandbox,
they make all kinds of new sands these days.
Matsuda just trying to cover up and stay alive, says Goldberg.
Isn’t that what we’re all trying to do? We’re all trying to cover up, survive,
just stay alive?
That’s why we watch UFC.
On my way to Bob and Alison’s. You know, I don’t think I ever got them a wedding present. That’s what it’s like to be an asteroid.
That’s how you know you’re
an asteroid.
VIDEO PACKAGE
I need more coffee. Starbucks makes it okay kind of coffee now. I am complicit in so much. We all are.
Unravel me, you’ll come with.
We’ll soon be at the core of us.
MATT VAN BUREN VS SEAN O’CONNELL
Van Buren is the ultimate Ultimate Fighter finalist:
getting crushed in the finale but looking memorable
as a fighter and prick throughout the show.
O’Connell is also a podcast or sports radio guy
In Salt Lake City. He might as well be and undertaker who doubles as a casket maker and a eulogy reader.
MATT VAN BUREN VS SEAN O’CONNELL
There something remarkably spiderlike in all this.
But it kind of disappointment,
like when you discover as a child that a spider monkey does not have 8 arms. It does not have 8 eyes. It’s just a monkey.
Mammals with their warm familiar eyes. There’s something not harsh enough in mammals, something that feels like they’re missing an important part of surviving
the earth.
There’s something disappointing in the mammalian lack.
MATT VAN BUREN VS SEAN O’CONNELL
I am driving through the suburbs
listening to the prelims on my phone
and now writing in my journal stopped
in the library parking lot.
This is my hometown, the place where I grew up. The library has been redone
completely, more glass, more angles. The community has grown rich.
Human vacancy. Such an
occupation.
Driving again,
a train like the phantom haunches of the Loch Ness Monster
from the black water,
lights blurred and bulk
emerging from night’s drink, calling out,
and back in again—
MATT VAN BUREN VS SEAN O’CONNELL
O’Connell, with a name like that,
instantly has many fans in Boston.
Doesn’t that illustrate
the problem?
HE TURNS HIM
INTO A BLOODY SCARECROW
STANDING, REVEALED UNALIVE
TO THE CROWS’ MOCKERY
FOX SPORTS 1 PRELIMS
At Bob and Alison’s and unable to decide about more coffee
, and I realize how hard conversations are,
But I am asked about the
poeming. I like the way that feels.
CHARLES ROSA VS SEAN SORIANO
Something’s not alright
with the ref’s hair.
Boston loves to cheer bleeding beer
for Boston.
CHARLES ROSA VS SEAN SORIANO
Grundlemania
preztel this lack.
Peruvian necktie
Crowd all jimminy, horn crumbles.
CHARLES ROSA VS SEAN SORIANO
Tacos upstairs and soon
CHARLES ROSA VS SEAN SORIANO
Crazy d’arce choke but
controversy about if he tapped!
We all had that in common–
We didn’t want to tap,
Our staggering lack of grace
Like a graceful fall into a net
of
dubious effectiveness
and low online user
Reviews.
No

FRANKIE PEREZ VS JOHNNY CASE
Good boy Hollywood
Coca-Cola mortar shell wax hair
High surf top down board shorts.
Button up skinny jeans undershirt.
Leather jacket jean jacket.
Aviator blue blocker.
Hot dog hamburger boxers.

Wink side eye.

PADDY HOLOHAN VS SHANE HOWELL
Football was on today
I guess.
But right now a man is fighting
who looks like Karl McComas-Reichl.
ZHANG LIPENG VS CHRIS WADE
I’m drunk
ZHANG LIPENG VS CHRIS WADE
A nut kick after 1 second.
This sucks. My country ‘tis of thee
ZHANG LIPENG VS CHRIS WADE
This was so
bad and I
peed like I
never have
DOOMSDAY HOWARD VS LORENZ LARKIN
Howard keeps meeting me down but I believe in him. Larkin I feel sorry for but I believe in him.
You punch a future terrorist in the face
And you make the papers.
DOOMSDAY HOWARD VS LORENZ LARKIN
TSUNAMI PUNCH rush
CRUSH
Post fight: such
a small voice.
SEAN SPENCER VS CATHAL PENDRED
The warrior Irish oft shellacked
How we cocoon failure into armor
O we tried on this world,
We tried, we tried, we tried, we tried
SEAN SPENCER VS CATHAL PENDRED
The things they feed you in the corner
You know, on the stool:
The lies.
(O fighter), you’re ahead! He’s hurt! He’s tired! You have the edge right now!
What creative writing. What
selling spirit. An art,
these
corner lies.
An exhibit.
Everything is tomorrow’s exhibit.
SEAN SPENCER VS CATHAL PENDRED
More coffee now
I’m in the deep
PENDRED wins. What.
A bad decision.
This is the kind of string that would catch the sweater
and unspin a nexus of inhuman lies, shadowy cabals, secret agendas,
deep networks of conspiracies within conspiracies.
Is he being railroaded into relevancy and postmodern villainy
to face
CM Punk?
NORMAN PARKE VS GLEASON TIBEAU
Do you have a sled in your parents garage?
That you just can’t throw away?
That’s Gleason Tibeau.
Norman Parke is the action figure you abused most because it was ugly.
The slow ceiling for success
We all end up scraping

URIAH HALL VS RON “CHOIR BOY” STALLINGS
I could get lost in the trust lines in Choir Boy’s face.
I just wanna shoot the shit with the smirking assurance within the eyebrows.
And of course Uriah hall killed people
Until he got scared of killing people and had to be convinced to kill people again.
URIAH HALL VS RON “CHOIR BOY” STALLINGS
“I saw his skin was flopping.”
…
“Let’s all get along, we don’t need to be
fighting each other”
AN OCEAN DESERT OF TIME BETWEEN FIGHTS
BENSON HENDERSON VS COWBOY CERRONE
Cowboy:
You know I’m crazy
You know I’m crazy
You know I’m crazy
You know I’m crazy
You know I’m craz
y You know I’m cra
zy You know I’m cr
azy You know I’m crazy
You know I’m crazy
BENSON HENDERSON VS COWBOY CERRONE
Cowboy is America because of the relentlessness
and the production demand.
Each leg kick picks stress from me because my nation in me
wants him to win so badly. I just want to see someone’s legacy
steamrolled and cooled into the fabric of MMA history,
which is my history. This was the arc I rode.
BENSON HENDERSON
#NotGoodEnough
What you have done to win on points is not good enough.
What you have done in your community is not good enough.
What you have given to your art is not good enough.
Your love is not good enough.
Your passion is not good enough.
Your legacy won’t be good enough because you
are not good enough.
Only repetition will drive the
meaning deep, embedded, and impossible to remove from the artery:
#NotGoodEnough
#NotGoodEnough
#NotGoodEnough
#NotGoodEnough
DENNIS SIVER VS CONOR MCGREGOR
All the bets in life we didn’t take.
I didn’t put $20 on Siver. I didn’t get my friend Philip’s dad
to put on his emerald green aviators and jet black goatee,
head red from the crabby sun, to amble across Vegas to place a bet for me.
That is something I was unable
to get. Among the bets in life I didn’t take.
DENNIS SIVER VS CONOR MCGREGOR
McGregor a hype grasshopper my
GOD
I’m glad I didn’t bet against him,
each hit produces more bleeding, raw pork,
more ground burger!
IT IS ALL
OVER!
Wow, the bets we didn’t take.
CONOR MCGREGOR
Conor McGregor is successful because he knows how to meme himself.
The meme is the post-shrine. Everyone has a holy grail now. It’s simply
how the object is wielded and removed
that writes the canon, carries the crucified.
CONOR MCGREGOR RUNS OUT OF THE CAGE AND SCREAMS IN JOSE ALDO’S FACE
I’ll forever remember the little girl who
reached out, steadfast, guided, to touch his face.
JOSE ALDO
A king.
JOSE ALDO
A lacksome king from a throne made from the bones of his enemies
still skinned in places and decaying, rebuilt with new bones,
a kingdom beyond the darkened crumbling palace
collapsing under its own divisive rumors.
CONOR MCGREGOR
Not a jester, not a hype man, but a force,
the momentum,
the Sisyphusian ideal:
the strength, the boulders, in this case the division,
the lights, the sun ever closer, the air thin,
the glass of breath, the tower,
the hanged man, the swords
of the legacy in swords,
the shield, the true shield,
a convergence of meaning melting from objects and legends—
the potential of the potential
of the top.
