This is part 2 of my list for Virginia's post Furman execution roster. As mentioned in part 1's opening paragraph, character count limitations forced me into splitting my Virginia's execution roster into two separate posts. For the link to part 1, please click here.
59. Kevin Cardwell (1991-1998, lethal injection): Cardwell intercepted Anthony Brown, a 15 year old drug carrier, while he was at a bus stop.

60. Mark Sheppard (~1980s-1999, lethal injection): Sheppard and his accomplice Andre Graham were invited by their dealers, 40 year old Richard and 35 year old Rebecca Rosenbluth, over to their home to buy cocaine. However, an argument broke out during the transaction, and Sheppard shot the couple to death. The pair then drove away from the scene with the couple's car and a few undisclosed stolen items. Sheppard had a long history of violence that dated back to when he was 9 years old.
61. Tony Fry (1994-1999, lethal injection): Fry and his partner shot Leeland Jacobs, a 42 year old car salesman, while robbing his Ford Dealership. The pair tied Jacobs to a car they stole while he was still alive, and dragged him to death.
62. George Quesinberry Jr. (1989-1999, lethal injection): Quesinberry shot 63 year old Thomas Haynes while breaking into his office with an accomplice. When Haynes survived the initial shooting, Quesinberry hit him in the head with the gun and fractured his skull. The pair stole a total of $200 in the robbery.
63. David Fisher (~1970s(?)-1999, lethal injection): Fisher was paid $7,000 by an associate to kill 18 year old David Wilkey in retaliation for abandoning a murder scheme. Originally, Wilkey was part of a conspiracy to seduce and marry a young woman in order to kill her for an insurance policy, but backed out when he genuinely fell in love with the would be victim. He was tricked into going on a hunting trip with Fisher and shot to death by him. Fisher had 25 previous criminal convictions and was involved with organized crime. He was in the witness protection program at the time of Wilkey’s murder.
64. Carl Chichester (1991-1999, lethal injection): During a holdup of a Little Caesars, Chichester shot and killed the manager, 30 year old Timothy Rigney, for refusing to open the cash register. He and his two accomplices ran off with a total of $110.
65. Arthur Jenkins III (1991-1999, lethal injection): Jenkins and his teenage brother shot and killed their uncle, 72 year old Floyd, and their uncle's friend, 69 year old Lee Brinklow. They then stole their wallets and sacked Floyd's home for any money and valuables.
66. Eric Payne (~1980s-1999, lethal injection): Payne broke into the residences of two women, 61 year old Ruth Parham and 57 year old Sally Fazio, and raped them. Both women were beaten to death with a hammer, and he took money from their drawers and pocket books. He had a history of drug possessions and exposing himself to women.
67. Ronald Yeatts (1989-1999, lethal injection): Yeatts and an accomplice invaded 70 year old Ruby Dodson's home and stabbed her to death. The pair grabbed her purse during the burglary and divided up the money they found in it.

69. Marlon Williams (~1980s(?)-1999, lethal injection): Williams was paid $4,000 to murder 44 year old Helen Bedsole by his dealer, who was also her estranged husband. The couple were in the midst of a bitter divorce at the time, and the dealer wanted to both collect a life insurance policy and prevent Helen from dividing up their assets. He suck into the couple’s home, and shot and killed Helen in the kitchen. Williams had an extensive criminal history, which included cutting the throat of his ex girlfriend’s grandmother, 71 year old Virgina Parker, during a bungled attempt on her life.
70. Everett Mueller (1990-1999, lethal injection): 10 year old Charity Powers was dropped off at a skating ring by her mother. She was supposed to be picked up by her mother's friend, but they didn't show up due to failing asleep in their home. While Powers was waiting outside the ring in vain for her ride, she was abducted by Mueller. He raped the girl, slashed her throat, and dumped the body in a nearby forest.
71. Jason Joseph (1992-1999, lethal injection): While robbing a Subway with an accomplice, Joseph shot and killed one of the clerks, 22 year old Jeffrey Anderson.

Wallace was killed as part of the gang's campaign to target law enforcement agents. Royal and his fellow gang members were also suspected in the shooting of James Smith Jr. (age unknown), a Vietnam veteran, outside his trailer, but the charges were dropped from the lack of sufficient evidence.
73. Andre Graham (~1993-1999, lethal injection): Graham assisted the above mentioned Mark Sheppard in the Rosenbluth murders. He also shot and killed a waitress, 20 year old Sheryl Stack, and injured a 23 year old man while robbing a restaurant on his own, and is suspected in a total of 10 murders.
74. Douglas Thomas (1990-2000, lethal injection): The parents of Thomas' 14 year old girlfriend, 33 year old James and 33 year Kathy Wiseman, barred her from seeing him. In a bid to continue their relationship, Thomas and his girlfriend shot them to death in their home.

76. Lonnie Weeks Jr. (1993-2000, lethal injection): Weeks was pulled over by a state trooper, 50 year old Jose Cavazos, for speeding while driving a stolen car. In the confrontation that followed, he shot Cavazos dead after climbing out of the car, and fled the scene. He was captured hiding in a nearby motel after an hour long manhunt.
77. Michael Clagett (1994-2000, electric chair): Clagett's girlfriend was fired from her job as a hotel waitress by the management, and the couple decided to retaliate by robing the establishment. They shot and killed the owner Lam Van Son, a 41 year old Vietnamese refugee, a waitress, 31 year old Karen Rounds, two other employees, 31 year old Karen Rounds and 32 year old Wendell Parish Jr., and a customer Abdelaziz Gren, a 34 year old Moroccan immigrant, and took $400 in cash from the register.

78. Russel Burket (1993-2000, lethal injection): Burket snuck into the home of 30 year old Katherine Tafelski while her Navy SEALs husband was deployed overseas, and sexually assaulted her. Katherine and her 5 year old daughter Ashley were both beaten to death with a "rusty" crowbar.
79. Derek Barnabei (1993-2000, lethal injection): Barnabei seduced a fellow Old Dominion University student, 17 year old Sarah Wisnosky, into a relationship with him and kidnapped her. She was raped, partially strangled, beaten to death with a hammer, and dumped into a river near campus grounds. Due to him being of Italian ancestry, his death sentence and execution sparked outrage in Italy.
80. Bobby Ramdass (1992-2000, lethal injection): Ramdass was condemned for the shooting death of Mohammed Kayani, a 34 year old Pakistani immigrant working as a clerk, during a convenience store robbery.

The girlfriend and her youngest sibling, 21 month old Kenya, were also shot in the attack. Both of them survived, but the unborn child was lost in the shooting.
82. Thomas Akers (1998-2001, lethal injection): Akers and his accomplice were driving with their friend, 24 year old Wesley Smith. When they pulled over on a road to urinate, they pounced on Smith. In the attack, he was strangled with a belt and beaten to death with a baseball bat. They pair then grabbed $200 from his wallet and dumped his body in a creek. While on death row, Akers demanded his execution and made threats against the judge who sentenced him if it wasn't carried out.
83. Christopher Beck (1995-2001, lethal injection): Out of anger for being fired, Beck invaded the house of his former employer, 52 year old William Miller. He waited for him and his two roommates, 54 year old Florence Marks and 34 year old David Kaplan, to return home and shot and stabbed them all to death. Marks was also raped in the attack. Although Beck claimed that he "only" staged a sexual assault on her, a medical examination confirmed that she was abused in that manner. Beck stole several guns, bicycles, and money in the robbery.
84. James Patterson (1987-2002, lethal injection): Patterson held his friend's mother, 56 year old Joyce Aldridge, in her home at knifepoint. Enraged that she only had a few coins in her purse, he raped Aldridge, stabbed her 3 times, and left her to die. When Aldridge managed to crawl to a phone to call her son for help, Patterson returned and stabbed her 14 more times. Although Aldridge's murder was left unsolved for years, Patterson was later imprisoned for raping an 18 year old girl, and DNA found at the murder was traced to his samples filed in the inmate database in 2000.
85. Daniel Zirkle (1999-2002, lethal injection): Zirkle's girlfriend broke off their relationship due to his violent behavior and filed protective orders against him. He was arrested for violating them and sentenced to a few months in jail. After his release, Zirkle went to his ex girlfriend's home without her permission to visit their daughter, 4 year old Christina. However, the ex girlfriend's other daughter, 14 year old Jessica Shifflett, blocked him from coming inside. He stabbed her to death and kidnapped Christina. He then drove Christina to the George Washington National Forest, slit her throat, and stabbed himself in a failed suicide attempt.
86. Walter Mickens Jr. (~1974-2002, lethal injection): Mickens ambushed and sodomized 17 year old Timothy Hall, and stabbed him 143 times. He stripped the boy of nearly all of his clothing, and left him to die in an abandoned apartment. A long time sexual predator and career criminal, Mickens had several robbery and sodomy convictions dating back to the 70s. One of his previous incidents involved breaking into an elementary school, and coercing a teacher of her purse by threatening the life of a 7 year old student. He also had a conviction for sexually assaulting a cellmate.
87. Aimal Kasi (1993-2002, lethal injection): In his efforts to fight against American foreign policy regarding Islamic nations, Kasi attacked the Langley CIA headquarters with a Type 56 assault rifle. He shot dead 2 CIA employees, 66 year old Lansing Bennett and 28 year old Frank Darling, and wounded 3 others. Kasi then fled to Afghanistan, but was lured into his native Pakistan to be captured in a joint FBI-CIA led operation, and extradited back to the United States to face trial.
88. Earl Bramblett (~1970s(?)-2003, electric chair): Bramblett had molested 11 year old Winter Hodges and feared that her parents, 41 year old William and 37 year old Teresa, were planning on reporting him to the police. In an attempt to prevent that from happening, he attacked the family in their home. Teresa was strangled, while William, Winter, and another daughter, 3 year old Anah, were shot dead. Bramblett then set the house on fire to destroy any evidence of the murders. He had several abuse allegations and was also suspected in the 1977 disappearances of two 14 year old girls, Tammy Akers and Angela Rader, that worked for him, but was never charged for any of them.
89. Bobby Swisher (1997-2003, lethal injection): Swisher abducted 22 year old Dawn Snyder from her flower shop at knife point and raped her. He slashed Snyder's throat and dumped her into a nearby river. Despite managing to swim back to shore, Snyder succumbed to her injuries on the river bank.
90. Brian Cherrix (1994-2004, lethal injection): Cherrix ambushed 23 year old Tessa Van Hart while she was trying to deliver a pizza. He sodomized and shot Van Hart twice in the head, and left the body in her car. The crime was left unsolved until Cherrix was arrested for shooting and wounded his brother two years later. In an attempt to secure leniency, Cherrix disclosed some details of Van Hart's murder, but tried pinning it on a deceased cousin. He only confessed when investigators learned that the cousin couldn't have possibly done it.
91. Dennis Orbe (1998-2004, lethal injection): Orbe fatally shot Richard Burnett, a 39 year old clerk, while robbing a grocery store, and seized $90 from the register.
92. Mark Bailey (1998-2004, lethal injection): Bailey shot and killed his wife, 22 year old Katherine, and their 2 year old son, Nathan, while they were laying in bed. He claimed to investigators that the murders were done out of anger for Katherine's alleged infidelity.
93. James Hudson (2002-2004, lethal injection): In a feud over a driveway, Hudson broke into the home of the Cole family (consisting of brothers, 64 year old Thomas and 56 year old Walter, and Thomas' wife, 64 year old Patsy) to confront them with a shotgun. He shot all three of the Coles dead and drove away from the scene. Hudson was captured after nearly a day long manhunt.
94. James Reid (1996-2004, lethal injection): Reid stabbed 87 year old Annie Lester 22 times with a pair of scissors, beat her with a can of milk, and strangled her with the cord of a heating pad. He left the body in her bedroom and fled her house. Although the evidence for his guilt was overwhelming (which included the blood on his clothes matched Lester's DNA, several of his fingerprints were discovered on the murder weapons, samples of his saliva were found on a cigarette butt in her house, and his handwriting was identical to the writing of a death threat sent to Lester), Reid's death sentence and execution was contested on the grounds of him allegedly having brain damage from a car accident, seizures, and alcoholism. The motivations behind Lester's murder remain unknown, but prosecutors suspected that it might have been part of a bungled robbery or rape attempt.
95. Dexter Vinson (1997-2006, lethal injection): Vinson attacked his ex girlfriend, 25 year old Angela Felton, near her home. Felton tried to escape by driving away, but he rammed her car with his, and forced her inside it. She was then dragged into a vacant house, raped, beaten, and stabbed in the face, neck, arms, buttocks, stomach, and vagina. The body was left in the house as Vinson fled the scene.
96. Brandon Hedrick (1997-2006, electric chair): Hendrick kidnapped a sex worker, 23 year old Lisa Crider, while he was cruising for prostitutes.

Sniper”, Muhammad shot and killed 17 random people between the ages of 21-76 with the help of a teenage accomplice in mostly sniper attacks. The killings took place in the national capital, hence the epithet, and across several states. Due to his affiliation with the Nation of Islam and the accomplice’s accounts of planning terrorist attacks and training camps, Muhammad’s murder spree are often considered to be acts of Islamic extremism in the media. However, experts believe that his real intentions was to kill his estranged wife using the sniper attacks as a mask. Muhammad had a long history of domestic violence, and had abducted his children from his estranged wife on numerous occasions. His accomplice had also accused him of sexual abuse a few years after his execution.
105. Larry Elliott (2001-2008, electric chair): Elliott, a former military counterintelligence agent, was in an online "sugar daddy" relationship with a much younger woman.

Prison officials then transferred him to a high security prison to await trial for Watson’s murder, but he managed to strangle another inmate, 26 year old Aaron Cooper (who was serving 34 years for robbery), to death with the wire that separated their cages.

Here is my list for Missouri's post Furman execution roster that I wrote for my personal death penalty project. I'll probably release Florida next, and I'm currently working on completing my list for Texas.
As always, the dates given are a time frame of the offender's earliest known criminal activities to their execution. Many of cases described here are extremely depraved in nature, so please read at your own risk. Missouri has also scheduled David Hosier for execution on June 11, and is filling death warrants for Christopher Collings and Marcellus Williams. If these future executions are carried out as planned, then I might update this post with their information.
Due to it exceeding the character count limitations that reddit allows for submissions, I had to divide this list into two separate posts. For the link to part 2, please click here.
The currently executed 98 offenders, cases 1 to 49:

The gang harassed and assaulted what they deemed to be "political undesirables" such as left leaning hippies and prohibitionists, and terrorized those aligned with rival motorcycle gangs. They were also predatory towards teenage girls and young women. In one incident, Mercer beat a Vietnam veteran unconscious when the man tried to stop him from sexually harassing underaged girls at a concert, and gang-raped a kidnapped 17 year old girl with some associates in another. One of his followers lured Karen Keeton, a 22 year old tavern waitress, to Mercer's home as a "birthday present" for him. Mercer raped Keeton in his bedroom, and manually strangled her to death. Mercer and his gang members were also speculated to be involved in the murder of 15 year old David Eyman by some webslueths due to his ties with them, but credible evidence is currently lacking.

40. Robert Walls (1984-1999, lethal injection): Walls and two accomplices forced themselves inside the home of 88 year old Fred Hampton. They attacked Hampton, and broke several of his ribs and fractured his skull in a beating. Hampton was then stuffed alive in a freezer, and he succumbed to a combination of suffocation, hypothermia, and his injuries. The trio stole $100 and Hampton's car in the robbery. Walls had several robbery convictions prior to the murder.
41. David Leisure (~1980s-1999, lethal injection): Leisure, a Syrian immigrant, operated as an enforcer for the Leisure gang, a criminal syndicate under the rule of his cousins. During a gang war over the control of a labor union, he assassinated 75 year old James Michael Sr., a rival crime boss, with a car bomb.
42. James Hampton (~1950s-2000, lethal injection): Hampton abducted 58 year old Frances Keaton and her fiance Allen Mulholland in their own home. He bound them both and demanded $30,000 at gunpoint. After he detected the presence of arriving police officers with a police scanner, Hampton dragged Keaton to his car, and left Mulholland tied up alone in the house. Not wanting to be encumbered with a hostage while on the run, he beat Keaton to death with a hammer, buried her body, and burned her belongings. Hampton fled to New Jersey, and shot and killed 48 year old Christine Schurman during a botched kidnapping. He had spent most of his life in and out of prison for various crimes such as robbery, assault, and drug trafficking, and was first arrested at the age of 11.
43. Bert Hunter (~1963-2000, lethal injection): In 1968, Hunter shot and killed 64 year old John Lyle while robbing his tavern. He was given a life sentence for the murder, but was able to leave prison on parole in the 70s. After his release, Hunter partnered up with another ex convict, Tomas Ervin, for several robbery schemes. They invaded the home that 75 year old Mildred Hodges shared with her 49 year old son Richard. Hunter and Ervin bound the mother and son with duct tape, and ransacked the house for money. Despite their captives' desperate pleas for their lives, the pair suffocated them both with plastic bags. The pair then stole the Hodges' car and burned it in a motel parking lot. Hunter had several burglary arrests as a teenager.
44. Gary Roll (1992-2000, lethal injection): Roll and two other robbers tricked 47 year old Sherry Scheper into letting them inside her home by posing as police officers. They forced Sherry and her 17 year old son Randy to lie on the ground at gunpoint. After he shot Randy in the head, Roll beat Sherry to death with the butt of his gun. The trio also encountered Sherry's older son, 22 year old Curtis, and they fatally stabbed him during a scuffle. A total of $215 and some bags of marijuana were stolen in the robbery.
45. George Harris (~1982-2000, lethal injection): Harris entrusted his illegal submachine guns that he won in a crabs game to a friend for safe keeping. The friend then tasked his younger brothers with hiding the firearms, which they hid in the home of 20 year old Stanley Willoughby without telling him. When Harris returned to retrieve his guns, the friend redirected him to Willoughby's house. However, Willoughby had no clue of what Harris was talking about when he asked for his guns back. It quickly turned into a heated argument, and Harris shot and killed Willoughby out of anger. Years before he murdered Willoughby, Harris was arrested and convicted for armed robbery. He was also captured weeks after the killing while committing another armed robbery.
46. James Chambers (~1971-2000, lethal injection): Chambers struck 33 year old Jerry Oestricker in the head with his pistol and shot and killed him during a bar fight. He also had previous convictions of fraud, burglary, and attempted murder. The attempted murder conviction was for an incident involving him shooting a man in another bar fight.
47. Stanley Lingar (1985-2001, lethal injection): After Lingar lured 16 year old Thomas Allen into his jeep, he tried to force him to masturbate at gunpoint. When Allen was too terrified to obey, Lingar shot him. Allen survived the initial shooting, but he was finished off by a beating with a tire iron and Lingar running him over with the jeep. His execution was a source of minor controversy, as Lingar claimed that he was condemned solely for his sexuality.
48. Tomas Ervin (~1967-2001, lethal injection): In 1967, Ervin stabbed Robert Berry, a 36 year old cab driver, to death in a robbery, and was given a life sentence. After he was paroled in the 80s, he linked up with the above mentioned Bert Hunter, and assisted him in the robbery murders of Mildred and Richard Hodges.
49. Mose Young Jr. (1975-2001, lethal injection): Young fatally shot 3 pawn shop employees, 80 year old Sol Marks, 33 year old James Scneider, and 22 year old Kent Bicknese, after they refused to buy stolen jewelry from him. A fourth employee, who was also Mark's grandson, was injured in the shooting. He had a long criminal history, which included convictions for drug possession and first degree assault.

Please ask us questions about historical content found in the American Archive of Public Broadcasting!

The American Archive of Public Broadcasting – 70+ years of historic public television and radio programming digitized and accessible online for research (AMA)
A Little About Us! We are staff of the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB), a collaboration between the Library of Congress and Boston public broadcaster GBH. The AAPB coordinates a national effort to preserve at-risk public media before its content is lost to posterity and provides a centralized web portal for access to the unique programming aired by public stations over the past 70+ years. To date, we have digitized nearly 200,000 historic public television and radio programs and original materials (such as raw interviews). The entire collection is accessible for research on location at the Library of Congress and GBH, and more than 100,000 programs are available for listening and viewing online, within the United States, at http://americanarchive.org.
What Do We Have? Among the collections preserved are more than 16,500 episodes of the PBS NewsHour Collection, dating back to 1975; more than 1,300 programs and documentaries from National Educational Television, the predecessor to the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS); raw, unedited interviews from the landmark documentary Eyes on the Prize; raw, unedited interviews with eyewitnesses and historians recorded for American Experience documentaries including Stonewall Uprising, The Murder of Emmett Till, Freedom Riders, 1964, The Abolitionists and many others. The AAPB also works with scholars to publish curated exhibits and essays that provide historical and cultural context to the Archive’s content. We have also worked with researchers who are interested in using the collection (metadata, transcripts, and media) as a dataset for digital humanities and other computational scholarship.
Why Does It Matter? The collection, acquired from more than 100 stations and producers across the U.S., not only provides national news, public affairs, and cultural programming from the past 70 years, but local programming as well. Researchers using the collection have the potential to uncover events, issues, institutional shifts, and social movements on the local scene that have not yet made it into the larger historical narrative. Because of the geographical breadth of the collection, scholars can use it to help uncover ways that national and even global processes played out on the local scene. The long chronological reach from the late 1940s to the present will supply historians with previously inaccessible primary source material to document change (or stasis) over time.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, our main website at https://americanarchive.org/ is very slow at the moment. Over the last few weeks, we have been overwhelmed by a huge amount of bot traffic, apparently trying to scrape the content from our site. Please accept our apologies for that!! Pages will usually load if you give them a moment.

Hi all! Just in time for Preservation Week, we’re here to answer your questions regarding what it means to preserve public media and what the American Archive of Public Broadcasting is all about! But before we get started, why don’t we introduce ourselves?

This is the most extreme and unhinged x files episode, for better and for worse, and a lot of it might be for worse.
Surprisingly I found myself really liking miller and einstein; specifically because of the way they're used in the script. They allow for our aged protagonists to interact with a former version of their partners. Mulder can never interact with the Scully he first met, because she's gone through so much, especially in seasons 8 and 9, without him. And likewise, Scully can't once again meet the naive and overly trusting bright-eyed Mulder she first met. And, as if through tulpas, they come face to face with a brand new version of themselves. The opposite pairings put them into a conversation with each other and themselves, with their work, with their places in their lives. The banter is incredible, frankly.
The Islam-centered elements are there, they try a good deal to add empathy toward the terrorists despite being resolutely against the notion of extremist violence and rhetoric. the ideas presented by the newscaster do a good job of representing the political reactions to events being faced in reality. And the conversation at the end of the episode is genuinely excellent, about love and hate, about reconciliation between peoples, the nature of god and divine anger.
But what IS missing from this conversation is politics, the political role the united states played in the arming and implanting of terrorist cells, of instigating conflict, of creating the conditions for hatred to spread. You could argue that ultimately the episode prefers to focus on the abstracts: the nature of hate and love and how that fuels extreme action, but I think it is, in the end, not a complete discussion if the geopolitical reality is wholly ignored. The complicitness and environmental manipulation that stokes reaction and conflict that the United States, not Islam by nature, have created in the formation of extremism today unfortunately goes largely undiscussed.
My ideal Mulder would be asking the questions of, what did people do that turned the Islamic religion into this? What did America do in its role in turning a son so far from the words of his mother? What is it about people's actions and motivations that creates weapons from belief, from religion?
And I don't know if the old x files would've gone that far either. But in the end I feel that this is an episode that has good intentions to start a dialogue and almost succeeds in its fervor, but ultimately doesn't go far enough. Without a genuine muslim perspective/character being part of the conversation here, the lesson of 'dialogue and listening' can't be fully materialized, and instead it concludes prematurely with a world-unity imagery that feels, more than anything else about the episode, very 90s and outdated.

SFF here means all speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history, magical realism etc).
The following SFF books will be published in the U.S. in May 2024. Other countries may differ.
If you know of others, please add them as comments below. If I've made any mistakes, just let me know, and I'll fix them up.
The published book formats are included with each entry (mostly hardcover and/or trade paperback with the occasional ebook). This information is obtained from the isfdb website which lists one format type for each entry but mostly omits ebook entries. If it's a new hardcover and/or trade paperback book, it's very likely that an ebook is also coming out at the same time.

Seen the show from front to end and is so good kee me hook like fish in hooks and have many opinion to say and will share here just remember is MY OPPINION!!
First I saw it come long way I post before thoughts of the characters many change many come and go many die many favorite then turn to the one I hate!! It start being with Wes as main character no one know why he mid but that what the director want so we take it and it take us in rollercoster ride as we see why Annalise pick these children for her keating 5. Is annoying we find later Frank pick laurel and Bonnie pick Connor boring explanation but it whatever we love those two. Also the Snow White is so random lol but I like theory I see here that Disney want piece of success and pay them for Snow White placement it work out well and funny change trial for cartoon characters yet lol. Let me discuss the character now
Annalise: I say it before she tired angry woman go through so much in life and can not keep her eye open I understand people do the most and she not scared to show it!! I say very controversial things before she pretty the way she is should not show her without makeup because is not ideal but now I see director do it on purpose to show she not all that without it!! Viola very good actress because character is awful awful person and deserve the worst sad she got happy ending when she reason it all happen but actress make us like her little bit anyway. Her turning lesbian never went no where but is nice to see they give represent for the lesbians she also say best line ever about penis on phone I love it after she take off her beautiful makeup lol. What a wonderful actress she is
Sam: awful man!! Why everyone like him so much he pump and pump and pump human dandelion you get a seed you get a seed line up who else want a baby and we don’t get it he looks so average dime a dozen and so awful things and he even have romance time with sister now?? Ewwwwwe
Hannah: same thing she older and only want sexy time with brother and then the house we can all disagree on many but we can agree on this Hannah awful!!!!
Wes: so annoying why Lauren like him so much lol could have better actor too but we work with what we get it to get and it not much but he die halfway through is what it is he awful man
Laurel: still not understand it why she made to be Mexican when she very white and then they decide to make it her the French woman too?? Make no sense lol also she annoying too she lay with Wes 3 time in 1 week and now he love her life and make sure everyone in world know??? He not like her like that am sure and she cheat with Frank??? Poor little boy Christopher
Christopher: actor when first seen different from later I think and then he play by Wes interesting arc but he become teacher in same class make no sense why viola davis in classroom looking at him when he don’t know her???
Frank: one of the worst!! I know he feel guilty for car wreck killing unborn baby. It he don’t need to do all that he need to mind his own business and why he so obsess with Annalise cater to her every wish it crazy and why his hair never look good lol
Bonnie: she have tragic past is so sad these thing do happen reality in life and it explain why she like that she also awful awful woman very annoying but we learn to love I admit I cry a little when she die lol. Also why they do her dirty with the hair is a character choice or???
Connor: only decent man in whole show he always feel bad and he only one who want to go to prison for awful awful thing and he very handsome with crooked smile and smart he make gay guy look good in modern media in world where people expect worse from the community am happy they show the struggle of him and his boyfriend
Oliver: we like him because he try to be nice but he also awful but let be real they all awful he do bad thing to Connor application and he want a piece of the murder cake too after Connor tell him no Ollie no but he very good singer I do like that with John legend song but what that outfit at wedding?? We get you Asian but you can even dress nice for this? I do cry though when he tel mom he have aids what a good mom. Actor very good big development he and the boyfriend Connor Walsh my favorite character
Mikaela: she so beautiful I say it before beautiful like a Barbie can easy play black Barbie president is shame her character so awful probably the worst after Annalise!! All she want is power and she send Simon to Arabia where he be killed for being the gay is so sad only to cover her track and she not want her dad till she see he hve money?? Awful awful!! Tegan right about that one everyone feel bad she have no friend in the end but she do it to herself!!!! Poor Asher
Asher: he meant to be basic white buy from fraternity college chugging beer and make bad joke in writing we call it comedic relife so I do like him but he still awful running over Sinclair with the car it make no sense also in end he decide he like family again and want to report his friends?? Now that drive me crazy!! He bad all along but still lil bit sad when he die
Rebecca: mid character not needed a lot her fault and not big deal when Bonnie kill her also why she have cornrow?
Tegan: wow what beautiful woman did not even know she lesbian is so sad she fall for Annalise and be taking advantage of I don’t get why everyone fall for Annalise why is that anyway Tegan smart strong lesbian woman and good example of woman who can be leader I love her she also not so bad like the other. Also why she talk Spanish better than Mexican laurel?
Emmett: is meant to be the new sam so basic and have hidden motive sad how he killed he just want to be happy
Gabe: someone tell me he replacement for Wes and it simply true and he very handsome but character not needed he bring nothing to table and of course he awful too he kill someone you have to kill someone to be in this show I think
Nate: he get worse and worse as show go on!! He not care much about his dad and like laurel suddenly he care and turn to murder there something in the water in that town or something everyone want to kill it a right of passage
Miller: so sad he probably best man in show all he want to do is his job and make Bonnie happy. He look like boobah
Xavier: wow what a man but so evil just like his dad poor laurel glad she run away even tho she annoys
Simon: he so mean to everyone glad we find out it because he actually gay guy was excite to see him and Oliver but I understand he just for the plot to send to Arabia to make Mikaela look bad
Birkjead: what her problem even she offer Annalise cool job it obviously fake and Annalise dumb to fall for it but I hate this woman she deserve to die thank you Frank also why her mouth so small no lips she have to eat m&m one at a time
Okay that what I hve to say is a lovely show I still processing the end especially the old Man old lady makeup why they do that lol but yes is beautiful I wonder if this what law is really like I hope they bring show back later maybe with older Christopher being new teacher teaching kids to kill and cameos from the original cast is what we all want
Thoughts?

I’m currently 2-1, looking like it’ll be 3-1 after this week, my offense has put together a rather strong start to the season and pushed me into the top 4 of the league thus far. Overall I’m very satisfied with my squad for the most part but love hearing everyone’s thoughts and ideas on how I can improve!

12 Team Head to Head most Categories Fantrax Dynasty league, with 26 man rosters and 10 minor leaguers per team. One owner is looking to add pitching and he’s got Triston Casas potentially available. Was thinking of offering someone like Hunter Brown, Emmett Sheehan or Edward Cabrera for Casas. I’ve got Matt Olson currently as my 1B but with it being a Dynasty, I like the idea of having a nice young 1B as a safety net. My pitching is very young and I’ve got Alcantara and McClanahan joining a young core next year so trading one of those I mentioned wouldn’t hurt my pitching much. (currently have George Kirby, Tanner Bibee, Logan Gilbert, Jose Berrios, Mason Miller, Jordan Hicks, Edward Cabrera to name a few) what are y’all’s thoughts? Any/all help/thoughts/opinions are greatly appreciated!

UFC 300 just wrapped, and this card was everything we could have dreamed of. A highlight reel KO in the main event, a battle in the co-main event, a bloody brawl in the featured bout that was topped off by the KO of the year, and a preliminary card from the GODS. This card had fuck you levels of star power, and there is so much to break down. We got fighters moving up in weight all across the card, one Olympic legend made a near perfect debut, we saw a brand new boogeyman at 145, and the card was layered with legend upon legend. For this card, there are no big ones. Every single fight hit like fucking crack. Let's get this shit. Top of the mornin UFC fans, these are the fights to make after UFC 300.
​

• Deiveson Figueiredo vs Cody Garbrandt

RESULT: Deiveson Figueiredo defeats Cody Garbrandt in Round 2 via submission (rear-naked choke)
Deiveson Figueiredo: Marlon Vera
Crazy but true: This bout was originally supposed to headline UFC 255 in 2020. Instead, it was the early prelim opener for the UFC's third milestone event. Isn't that crazy to think about. Deiveson probably lost that first round, but he quickly dragged Cody Garbrandt to the ground and showed him levels in the grappling department. Figgy kept up the submission attempts on Garbrandt until Cody eventually tapped when Figgy got his back and sunk in the rear naked choke.
The former flyweight champion is 36 years old and he has a lot to offer his new division. However he doesn't have a lot of time, so let's push him up the rankings against Marlon Vera. Merab is going to face O'Malley, Cory Sandhagen-Umar Nurmagomedov is rumored, Cejudo coached Figgy, and Yan is injured. Marlon Vera appears to have healed well since his loss to Sean O'Malley, and he is above Figueriedo in the current rankings. I would love a clash between these two warriors of the game. Figueiredo is a prominent finisher, while Vera is seemingly impossible to finish. Book this in August perhaps for a fight night main event.
Cody Garbrandt: Cody Stamann
This was a tough break for Cody Garbrandt who did well early, but was outclassed in the grappling department. Cody didn't take too much damage, so I would like to see him make a turnaround this summer against Cody Stamann. A battle of Codys. Stamann lost his last fight controversially to Douglas Andrade last May. This is a fight that makes perfect sense for each man.
​

• Bobby Green vs Jim Miller

RESULT: Bobby Green defeats Jim Miller via unanimous decision
Bobby Green: Paddy Pimblett
Jim got the first round, but boy oh boy did that second round turn the tide. Bobby Green outclassed Jim Miller in the last two rounds, and nearly had a finish in the third round. This was an absolute war between two long time members of the UFC, and after being put off for nearly a decade, it did not disappoint.
Bobby Green made my job a lot easier by calling out an opponent that makes perfect sense. Bobby Green-Paddy Pimblett is a great fight to book for UFC 304. As we all know, that card is very likely going to be in Manchester, and since Pimblett is now 5-0, he is due for some ranked competition. Green's anti wrestling against Pimblett's strong grappling game will be interesting. But what is even more interesting is Green's striking vs Pimblett's chin. Can Bobby Green be the first one to break Pimblett? Green vs Pimblett in Paddy's home country is one hell of a fight to book.
Jim Miller: Kurt Holobaugh
Jim Fuckin Miller suffered his first loss in a UFC milestone event, getting bloodied by Bobby Green in the final round. If Miller wants to fight at UFC 400, then he will be about 48 when that opportunity comes. Imagine if Miller pulled up for UFC 400. I don't think Jim Miller is going to retire, otherwise he would have done it inside the cage. I think Jim Miller vs Kurt Holobaugh is logical. Holobaugh is in his second stint with the UFC after he won the last season of TUF. Holobaugh had wars with Jason Miller and Austin Hubbard in that season, so Miller vs Holobaugh should stylistically be appealing for the fans.
​

• Jessica Andrade vs Marina Rodriguez

RESULT: Jessica Andrade defeats Marina Rodriguez via split decision
Jessica Andrade: Virna Jandiroba?
Marina Rodriguez was doing good enough on the feet to get the win, but Jessica Andrade was just too stubborn to be picked apart. She won the first round thanks to her ground work, she arguably stole the 2nd round, and there's even an argument that she won the third. I scored the fight in favor of the former champ, seeing that she at least won the first two rounds. The damage was enough to win for me.
The straw weight picture is muddied. Everyone has kinda fought everyone, so let's book Jessica Andrade against Virna Jandiroba. Title shot possibly on the line for the winner. Jandiroba just beat Loopy Godinez, and she also beat Marina Rodriguez a while ago. This fight isn't too exciting, but it makes sense.
Marina Rodriguez: Winner of Tabatha Ricci-Tecia Torres
Marina Rodriguez did a lot of things right. She was schooling Andrade on the feet, but Andrade's damage weighed heavier than Rodriguez's technical abilities. I think we do Marina Rodriguez vs the winner of Tabatha Ricci-Tecia Torres. Those two are facing each other on the St Louis card in May. Ricci is a scary contender, while Torres is a scrappy veteran returning from the IR (pregnancy). The matchup and scheduling is logical.
​

• Jalin Turner vs Renato Moicano

RESULT: Renato Moicano defeats Jalin Turner in Round 2 via TKO
Renato Moicano: Charles Oliveira
MONEY MOICANO BABY. It's custom now that every Renato Moicano post fight interview will be epic. Renato Moicano is in his golden age, and come next Tuesday he will be ranked in the top 10. Fun fact, this was Renato's first TKO victory of his career. Carneiro has become must see TV, and his next booking will be crucial. That means we need to see a barnburner of a clash in Charles Oliveira vs Renato Moicano.
These two have comparable styles, they both push the pace on the feet, and they are both submission wizards. They're both Brazilian, both 34 years of age, and both used to fight at featherweight. It's a very appealing matchup that could be a fight night main event in Brazil later this year, or a marquee bout on a UFC PPV. This is really the best style matchup for these two. It's an insane matchup between two incredibly entertaining lightweights.
Jalin Turner: Matt Frevola II or Vicente Luque II
Jalin Turner didn't capitalize on his opportunity to finish Renato Moicano and he paid dearly for it. Turner will likely be ranked 11th or 12th and he will ideally fight down in the rankings. Turner has two options for his next fight, and both involve him avenging a loss.
The first option is a fight with Matt Frevola. Steamrolla got a decision win over Turner back in 2019, and their careers have greatly improved since their last meeting. Turner is much different than what he is now. Option 2 is a rematch with Vicente Luque, who scored a vicious KO over Turner in 2018. Luque has since declined, and is now ranked 14th at welterweight. If Turner moves back up to welterweight, then a fight with Luque makes sense. It's a fun style matchup between two prominent finishers.
​

• Sodiq Yusuff vs Diego Lopes II

RESULT: Diego Lopes defeats Sodiq Yusuff in Round 1 via TKO
Diego Lopes: Yair Rodriguez or Movsar Evloev II
This guy is 100% the truth. Evil Theo Von can absolutely scrap. Diego Lopes was one of the biggest hype trains on this card and he absolutely delivered in one of his biggest tests. He ran through Sodiq Yusuff in just over a minute, and he just went 25 minutes with fucking Edson Barboza. Diego Lopes is currently 29 years old, meaning that he is in the prime of his career. Diego Lopes was one judge away from beating Movsar Evloev on short notice. When he gets a fight on a full camp he looks absolutely unstoppable.
It's not crazy to book Yair Rodriguez-Diego Lopes. Diego Lopes has punching power and nasty submission skills. What a perfect fight for the Noche PPV at the Sphere in September. That fight is fucking bonkers. I would love to see it happen. If not Yair, then running it back with Movsar Evloev is an appealing idea. Just how good will Diego Lopes look against Evloev on a full camp? Movsar put on a boring performance against Arnold Allen. A good performance, just a pretty boring one. The UFC won't be rushing to get him a shot at the belt, so why not run it back between Evloev and Lopes now? The UFC has two Abu Dhabi events coming up, a fight night on August 3rd and UFC 308, which just got confirmed for October 26th. My first pick is Rodriguez-Lopes at UFC Noche, but Evloev-Lopes II with both fighters getting a full camp is also appealing.
Sodiq Yusuff: Winner of Brito-Shore
Sodiq Yusuff was caught with two hard uppercuts and he was unable to fully recover himself. He was handly beaten by Lopes, who has to be the biggest hype train at 145 now. Sodiq is still a great fighter, who had an unfortunate matchup. He should fight the winner of Jack Shore-Joanderson Brito. Yusuff won't be fighting up anytime, so facing the winner of Brito-Shore, which goes down in May is the right move at this point. Either one of those two men deserves a shot at a ranked opponent.
​

• Holly Holm vs Kayla Harrison

RESULT: Kayla Harrison defeats Holly Holm in Round 2 via submission
Kayla Harrison: Raquel Pennington (title shot)
It took a LOOOOOOOONG time, but damnit Kayla Harrison is now in the UFC. And boy oh boy does Kayla Harrison look great. Outside of essentially losing the first grappling exchange, this fight went perfectly for the gold medalist judoka. Her credentials in that field are better than Ronda's, and her physicality is the most imposing for a woman in the UFC.
Yes, I believe Kayla Harrison should get a title shot with this win. Her grappling is the best at women's bantamweight, and she would probably be heavily favored against every ranked bantamweight at this point. Julianna Pena is the only other appealing option to generate hype for a title fight, but she hasn't fought in nearly two years, and she doesn't have a win over an active bantamweight since...well now that Amanda Nunes is retired, she currently doesn't have a victory over an ACTIVE bantamweight. Not ranked, ACTIVE.
Therefore, I believe Kayla Harrison is next in line for a shot at the belt. Booking Pennington-Harrison as early as UFC 303.
Holly Holm: Retirement. (maybe a rematch with Miesha Tate is possible.)
Holly Holm has nothing to prove. At 42 years of age, coming off back to back losses by finish, Holly Holm won't get another crack at gold for the rest of her career. The only fight that's somewhat appealing is Miesha Tate II. It could possibly be a double retirement fight for the two former champs. Outside of that, there's nothing worthwhile for the Preacher's Daughter.
​

• Calvin Kattar vs Aljamain Sterling

RESULT: Aljamain Sterling defeats Calvin Kattar via unanimous decision
Aljamain Sterling: Brian Ortega
Not the most entertaining way to get the job done, but it was a good job nevertheless. Aljamain Sterling is the new grappling threat at 145 lbs after successfully taking down Calvin Kattar several times across the fifteen minutes. Sterling is 34, so his stint in his new division will need to be accelerated rather quickly.
Aljamain does not deserve a title shot after that, but he will get his opportunity to move up the latter, and I would love a fight between Sterling and Brian Ortega. That is a HEAVENLY grappling matchup. Ortega vs Sterling for a title eliminator on a PPV later this year, possibly the Noche card. The wrestling vs BJJ dynamic is very interesting to me. That's an elite fight.
Calvin Kattar: Bryce Mitchell
This was a difficult task for 36 year old Calvin Kattar. On top of his age, he was returning from an 18 month layoff due to a torn ACL. Another fighter that is currently taking a break due to his health is Bryce Mitchell. As I'm sure you know by now, Mitchell was brutally KO'd last December, stepping up to face Josh Emmett on short notice. Kattar-Mitchell is good fight for two men at a crossroad in their career. This fight gives Kattar another opportunity to prepare for an aggressive wrestler, and these two will likely be side by side in the rankings next week.
​

• Jiri Prochazka vs Aleksander Rakic

RESULT: Jiri Prochazka defeats Aleksandar Rakic in Round 2 via TKO
Jiri Prochazka: Winner of Pereira-Ankalaev or Alex Pereira II
Never underestimate the power of a samurai. Jiri Prochazka got his leg butchered once again, but it doesn't matter if you don't believe in pain like Jiri. He just didn't take a detour in his gameplan and he kept coming and coming.
There is no clear-cut contenders outside of Magomed Ankalaev, so Jiri Prochazka could get a faster title shot than anticipated. I think he fights for LHW gold regardless, especially if Ankalaev beats Pereira. If Alex wins, then he might move up to HW and face Tom Aspinall and find a way to beat him. Then that would open up an interim title fight against literally who knows. I see a path to gold in Jiri's near future.
Aleksandar Rakic: Winner of Walker-Oezdemir
Aleksandar Rakic's path to success was clear: land those leg kicks. He landed over a dozen of them successfully, but it wasn't enough to discourage Jiri's pressure. Aleksandar Rakic still has potential, but he's still got a ways to go. I would love to see either a fresh matchup between Rakic and Walker or a rematch between Rakic and Oezdemir.
Rakic-Walker is just a ridiculous standup fight, while Rakic-Oezdemir II gives Rakic an opportunity to avenge a past loss. I would imagine the Serbian-Austrian will be returning in 4-5 months.
​

• Bo Nickal vs Cody Brundage

RESULT: Bo Nickal defeats Cody Brundage in Round 2 via submssion
Bo Nickal: Brad Tavares, Armen Petrosyan, or even Chris Weidman
The longest fight of Bo Nickal's career, this performance against Cody Brundage was unappealing for the first round. However the facts remain clear, Bo Nickal's wrestling has translated insanely well to MMA. His skill level overall is still very green, though. He's only 28, so he has some time to improve his overall skillset before he fights ranked competition. We're probably looking at two or three more fights for Nickal before he sees ranked opponents. Bo does have a few options at this point.
Option 1: Veteran Brad Tavares. The Hawaiian has been in the UFC for over 10 years, and is known for his elite takedown defense. In his UFC career, which dates back to 2010, Tavares currently has an 81% takedown defense rate. If Bo Nickal can rag doll him, then he'll prove to be even more terrifying for the middleweight division.
Option 2: Armen Petrosyan. Not as well known as the previous option, but Petrosyan's professional MMA experience is more comparable to Nickal's than Tavares. Nevertheless, this is a good step up for the former Penn State superstar.
Option 3: The biggest name out of these three, Chris Weidman. Don't forget your goggles, Bo. You'll need them. In all honesty, Nickal would definitely be heavily favored against the former middleweight champion if they were to fight.
Cody Brundage: Abu Azaitar
Cody Brundage did the UFC a favor by fighting the boogeyman, Bo Nickal.
I think that we book Cody Brundage-Abu Azaitar. These two are at the same level, and Brundage deserves another fight here
​

• Charles Oliveira vs Arman Tsarukyan

RESULT: Armen Tsarukyan defeats Charles Oliveira via split decision
Arman Tsarukyan: Islam Makhachev II or Dustin Poirier
It wouldn't be a proper UFC milestone event without the tradition of controversial judges' decisions. Arman Tsarukyan beats the former champion Charles Oliveira thanks to his work in the last two rounds of the bout. Now officially this fight was to be a title eliminator.
Charles Oliveira: Renato Moicano
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. We were so close to a Charles redemption arc, but he fell just short in the fight due to Tsarukyan's excellent work from on top. Can Charles get his shot at UFC gold? I think so. There will be a narrative pushed by many people in the community that Oliveira didn't really lose, and he should still be a fight away from a shot at gold. However, in reality, Charles Oliveira will be fighting down the rankings.
I've already mentioned it, but Charles Oliveira-Renato Moicano is the next bout to make. Two pressure fighters with excellent submission skills. I've already broken down this matchup briefly, but it really is that good of a matchup. It's now the perfect time for this matchup.
​

• Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway

RESULT: Max Holloway defeats Justin Gaethje in Round 5 via KO (god damn)
Max Holloway: Ilia Topuria or Winner of Makhachev-Poirier
Oof. A moment of silence for the people who bet on that fight to go the distance. But damn Holloway you are even more legendary, if that was even possible. The last ten seconds of that fight was practically real life Battle Beast vs Thragg. The closer we got to this fight, the more I believed in Max Holloway, and boy oh boy did he deliver. He was on pace for an easy UD win, and he risked everything in the name of the BMF. And for his risk he was rewarded the best KO so far this year, and the best KO of his entire illustrious UFC career.
Max Holloway has the best possible problem to have for a UFC fighter. He needs to decide which belt he wants to chase. Ilia Topuria doesn't have an opponent. Now that fight is incredibly intriguing. Gaethje may have dropped Holloway for the first time, but Holloway's chin is still intact, and unbroken. Between Topuria and Makhachev, I would chose Topuria for Holloway, personally. It's a more appealing stylistic matchup. It is way more fun than Makhachev-Holloway, and with Holloway's absolutely nasty KO of Gaethje, the hype is at an all time high.
I think Islam Makhachev beats Dustin Poirier pretty comfortably, but if Poirier could pull off the upset, then Poirier-Holloway III has a brand new perspective given this improved version, and powerful version of Blessed.
Justin Gaethje: A break.
I don't know who to book for Justin at this point. He just suffered the worst KO loss of his career, going out cold, face first. A KO loss like that should have Gaethje on the sidelines for at least 5-6 months, and since Dustin Poirier could be fighting Islam Makhachev soon, There really isn't any appealing matchup for Gaethje. Mateusz Gamrot? Not really. Beneil Dariush? No. Rafael Fiziev II? He's injured. There isn't a clear opponent for Gaethje, so a break is what he should take. We love you, Justin Gaethje. You deserve a break after that war.
​

• Zhang Weili vs Yan Xiaonan

RESULT: Zhang Weili defeats Yan Xiaonan via unanimous decision
Zhang Weili: Tatiana Suarez
Magnum Zhang wasn't at her best in this fight, but she used her overwhelming strength in the grappling department to overcome the many challenges that Yan Xiaonan provided. Zhang Weili is resilient, and her grappling IQ might be the best at straw weight...with the exception of one fighter.
I have a theory about why the UFC did a China v China bout at UFC 300. I think that the company is planning on going to China later this year. They were set to go last December in Shanghai, but the entire card was moved to the APEX for unknown reasons. By booking a Chinese champ against a Chinese challenger, the UFC were guaranteed to have a Chinese champion after UFC 300. Now the UFC can have a China FN card headlined by Zhang Weili vs Tatiana Suarez. Song Yadong-Kyler Phillips II in the co-main event, and Li Jingliang vs Michael Chiesa, as well as Yan Xiaonan and her opponent, who I will get to in a minute.
Zhang-Suarez is the most appealing fight in all of women's MMA right now. An absolute unit in Zhang Weili, the unbeaten mauler in Suarez. This fight is amazing. Zhang Weili vs Tatiana Suarez, UFC China Main Event. The obvious fight to make.
Yan Xiaonan: Amanda Lemos
Absolute heart from Yan Xiaonan. You have the respect and admiration from the MMA community. Xiaonan was practically finished in the first, and she was nearly finished in the second. There aren't many fights to book, so the only plausible option is Amanda Lemos.
These two haven't fought so the fight makes perfect sense. Put it on the China card alongside the other names that I mentioned. It's a fun, high level bout at straw weight, and if Tatiana Suarez were to beat Zhang Weili, then the winner of this fight might just turn right around and fight for the belt.
​

• Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill

RESULT: Alex Pereira defeats Jamahal Hill in Round 1 via KO
Alex Pereira: Magomed Ankalaev or Jiri Prochazka II at UFC 301
Poatan power doesn't mess around. Alex Pereira reminds the world that his power is second to none in whatever weight class he is in. The scariest power puncher strikes again, and he did it easily to one of the best strikers at 205. Reminder people, this dude fought the best kickboxers on the entire planet. There are great strikers in MMA, and then there's the level Alex is from which is just so much different. Fuck a shot to the groin LMAO.
Alex taking little to no damage in this fight is probably the biggest blessing that UFC 301 could've had. Pereira did say that he wanted to make a quick turnaround if he took little damage, and by golly he took little damage in this fight. Let's save the Brazil card and book Alex Pereira-Magomed Ankalaev for UFC 301. That's an excellent test for Poatan to see how good his grappling is.
If Ankalaev isn't ready for May, then book Pereira-Prochazka II. I know that this fight already happened, but why not watch it again (especially when you check out 301). Prochazka had his fair share of moments in the first fight, and strangely enough, he outlasted Hill. Pereira-Prochazka II is definitely not the first option as shown, but I wouldn't mind it if Ankalaev wasn't ready to fight in May.
Jamahal Hill: Winner of Krylov-Rountree
Former LHW champion Jamahal Hill was the toughest striking challenge that Alex Pereira had at 205, and Alex crushed his mission in just 3 minutes. Jamahal Hill was caught by that iconic left hook and the fight was over from there.
I think the UFC books Nikita Krylov-Khalil Rountree for a UFC event later this year, and the winner will be in position to make a massive jump up the rankings. Hill-Krylov is a battle of two vicious finishers, while Hill-Rountree is a striking match made in heaven. The straight shots and pressure of Hill vs the turbo Muay Thai of Khalil Rountree. If Magomed Ankalaev beats Alex Pereira, then that will open the division back up for Sweat Dreams, but until then, Hill will have to prove himself to get another shot.
​
Thank you all so much for reading this post. I will hopefully see you all next month for UFC 301. As for UFC 400, I did the math, and I will be seeing you all in 2032 for that one. Maybe we will see Rush Holloway fighting on that card by then. Take care everyone, and have yourself a good night!

UFC 300 just wrapped, and this card was everything we could have dreamed of. A highlight reel KO in the main event, a battle in the co-main event, a bloody brawl in the featured bout that was topped off by the KO of the year, and a preliminary card from the GODS. This card had fuck you levels of star power, and there is so much to break down. We got fighters moving up in weight all across the card, one Olympic legend made a near perfect debut, we saw a brand new boogeyman at 145, and the card was layered with legend upon legend. For this card, there are no big ones. Every single fight hit like fucking crack. Let's get this shit. Top of the mornin UFC fans, these are the fights to make after UFC 300.

Crazy but true: This bout was originally supposed to headline UFC 255 in 2020. Instead, it was the early prelim opener for the UFC's third milestone event. Isn't that crazy to think about. Deiveson probably lost that first round, but he quickly dragged Cody Garbrandt to the ground and showed him levels in the grappling department.

Merab is going to face O'Malley, Cory Sandhagen-Umar Nurmagomedov is rumored, Cejudo coached Figgy, and Yan is injured. Marlon Vera appears to have healed well since his loss to Sean O'Malley, and he is above Figueriedo in the current rankings. I would love a clash between these two warriors of the game. Figueiredo is a prominent finisher, while Vera is seemingly impossible to finish. Book this in August perhaps for a fight night main event.
Cody Garbrandt: Cody Stamann
This was a tough break for Cody Garbrandt who did well early, but was outclassed in the grappling department. Cody didn't take too much damage, so I would like to see him make a turnaround this summer against Cody Stamann. A battle of Codys. Stamann lost his last fight controversially to Douglas Andrade last May. This is a fight that makes perfect sense for each man.
​

• Bobby Green vs Jim Miller

RESULT: Bobby Green defeats Jim Miller via unanimous decision
Bobby Green: Paddy Pimblett
Jim got the first round, but boy oh boy did that second round turn the tide. Bobby Green outclassed Jim Miller in the last two rounds, and nearly had a finish in the third round. This was an absolute war between two long time members of the UFC, and after being put off for nearly a decade, it did not disappoint.
Bobby Green made my job a lot easier by calling out an opponent that makes perfect sense. Bobby Green-Paddy Pimblett is a great fight to book for UFC 304. As we all know, that card is very likely going to be in Manchester, and since Pimblett is now 5-0, he is due for some ranked competition. Green's anti wrestling against Pimblett's strong grappling game will be interesting. But what is even more interesting is Green's striking vs Pimblett's chin. Can Bobby Green be the first one to break Pimblett? Green vs Pimblett in Paddy's home country is one hell of a fight to book.
Jim Miller: Kurt Holobaugh
Jim Fuckin Miller suffered his first loss in a UFC milestone event, getting bloodied by Bobby Green in the final round. If Miller wants to fight at UFC 400, then he will be about 48 when that opportunity comes. Imagine if Miller pulled up for UFC 400. I don't think Jim Miller is going to retire, otherwise he would have done it inside the cage. I think Jim Miller vs Kurt Holobaugh is logical. Holobaugh is in his second stint with the UFC after he won the last season of TUF. Holobaugh had wars with Jason Miller and Austin Hubbard in that season, so Miller vs Holobaugh should stylistically be appealing for the fans.

​

• Jalin Turner vs Renato Moicano

RESULT: Renato Moicano defeats Jalin Turner in Round 2 via TKO
Renato Moicano: Charles Oliveira
MONEY MOICANO BABY. It's custom now that every Renato Moicano post fight interview will be epic. Renato Moicano is in his golden age, and come next Tuesday he will be ranked in the top 10. Fun fact, this was Renato's first TKO victory of his career. Carneiro has become must see TV, and his next booking will be crucial. That means we need to see a barnburner of a clash in Charles Oliveira vs Renato Moicano.
These two have comparable styles, they both push the pace on the feet, and they are both submission wizards. They're both Brazilian, both 34 years of age, and both used to fight at featherweight.

The first option is a fight with Matt Frevola. Steamrolla got a decision win over Turner back in 2019, and their careers have greatly improved since their last meeting. Turner is much different than what he is now. Option 2 is a rematch with Vicente Luque, who scored a vicious KO over Turner in 2018. Luque has since declined, and is now ranked 14th at welterweight. If Turner moves back up to welterweight, then a fight with Luque makes sense. It's a fun style matchup between two prominent finishers.
​

• Sodiq Yusuff vs Diego Lopes II

RESULT: Diego Lopes defeats Sodiq Yusuff in Round 1 via TKO
Diego Lopes: Yair Rodriguez or Movsar Evloev II
This guy is 100% the truth. Evil Theo Von can absolutely scrap. Diego Lopes was one of the biggest hype trains on this card and he absolutely delivered in one of his biggest tests. He ran through Sodiq Yusuff in just over a minute, and he just went 25 minutes with fucking Edson Barboza. Diego Lopes is currently 29 years old, meaning that he is in the prime of his career. Diego Lopes was one judge away from beating Movsar Evloev on short notice. When he gets a fight on a full camp he looks absolutely unstoppable.
It's not crazy to book Yair Rodriguez-Diego Lopes. Diego Lopes has punching power and nasty submission skills. What a perfect fight for the Noche PPV at the Sphere in September. That fight is fucking bonkers. I would love to see it happen. If not Yair, then running it back with Movsar Evloev is an appealing idea. Just how good will Diego Lopes look against Evloev on a full camp? Movsar put on a boring performance against Arnold Allen. A good performance, just a pretty boring one. The UFC won't be rushing to get him a shot at the belt, so why not run it back between Evloev and Lopes now? The UFC has two Abu Dhabi events coming up, a fight night on August 3rd and UFC 308, which just got confirmed for October 26th. My first pick is Rodriguez-Lopes at UFC Noche, but Evloev-Lopes II with both fighters getting a full camp is also appealing.
Sodiq Yusuff: Winner of Brito-Shore
Sodiq Yusuff was caught with two hard uppercuts and he was unable to fully recover himself. He was handly beaten by Lopes, who has to be the biggest hype train at 145 now. Sodiq is still a great fighter, who had an unfortunate matchup. He should fight the winner of Jack Shore-Joanderson Brito. Yusuff won't be fighting up anytime, so facing the winner of Brito-Shore, which goes down in May is the right move at this point. Either one of those two men deserves a shot at a ranked opponent.

• Holly Holm vs Kayla Harrison

RESULT: Kayla Harrison defeats Holly Holm in Round 2 via submission
Kayla Harrison: Raquel Pennington (title shot)
It took a LOOOOOOOONG time, but damnit Kayla Harrison is now in the UFC. And boy oh boy does Kayla Harrison look great. Outside of essentially losing the first grappling exchange, this fight went perfectly for the gold medalist judoka. Her credentials in that field are better than Ronda's, and her physicality is the most imposing for a woman in the UFC.
Yes, I believe Kayla Harrison should get a title shot with this win. Her grappling is the best at women's bantamweight, and she would probably be heavily favored against every ranked bantamweight at this point. Julianna Pena is the only other appealing option to generate hype for a title fight, but she hasn't fought in nearly two years, and she doesn't have a win over an active bantamweight since...well now that Amanda Nunes is retired, she currently doesn't have a victory over an ACTIVE bantamweight. Not ranked, ACTIVE.
Therefore, I believe Kayla Harrison is next in line for a shot at the belt. Booking Pennington-Harrison as early as UFC 303.
Holly Holm: Retirement. (maybe a rematch with Miesha Tate is possible.)
Holly Holm has nothing to prove. At 42 years of age, coming off back to back losses by finish, Holly Holm won't get another crack at gold for the rest of her career. The only fight that's somewhat appealing is Miesha Tate II. It could possibly be a double retirement fight for the two former champs. Outside of that, there's nothing worthwhile for the Preacher's Daughter.
​

• Calvin Kattar vs Aljamain Sterling

RESULT: Aljamain Sterling defeats Calvin Kattar via unanimous decision
Aljamain Sterling: Brian Ortega
Not the most entertaining way to get the job done, but it was a good job nevertheless. Aljamain Sterling is the new grappling threat at 145 lbs after successfully taking down Calvin Kattar several times across the fifteen minutes. Sterling is 34, so his stint in his new division will need to be accelerated rather quickly.
Aljamain does not deserve a title shot after that, but he will get his opportunity to move up the latter, and I would love a fight between Sterling and Brian Ortega. That is a HEAVENLY grappling matchup. Ortega vs Sterling for a title eliminator on a PPV later this year, possibly the Noche card. The wrestling vs BJJ dynamic is very interesting to me. That's an elite fight.
Calvin Kattar: Bryce Mitchell
This was a difficult task for 36 year old Calvin Kattar. On top of his age, he was returning from an 18 month layoff due to a torn ACL. Another fighter that is currently taking a break due to his health is Bryce Mitchell. As I'm sure you know by now, Mitchell was brutally KO'd last December, stepping up to face Josh Emmett on short notice. Kattar-Mitchell is good fight for two men at a crossroad in their career. This fight gives Kattar another opportunity to prepare for an aggressive wrestler, and these two will likely be side by side in the rankings next week.
​

• Jiri Prochazka vs Aleksander Rakic

RESULT: Jiri Prochazka defeats Aleksandar Rakic in Round 2 via TKO
Jiri Prochazka: Winner of Pereira-Ankalaev or Alex Pereira II
Never underestimate the power of a samurai. Jiri Prochazka got his leg butchered once again, but it doesn't matter if you don't believe in pain like Jiri. He just didn't take a detour in his gameplan and he kept coming and coming.
There is no clear-cut contenders outside of Magomed Ankalaev, so Jiri Prochazka could get a faster title shot than anticipated. I think he fights for LHW gold regardless, especially if Ankalaev beats Pereira. If Alex wins, then he might move up to HW and face Tom Aspinall and find a way to beat him. Then that would open up an interim title fight against literally who knows. I see a path to gold in Jiri's near future.
Aleksandar Rakic: Winner of Walker-Oezdemir
Aleksandar Rakic's path to success was clear: land those leg kicks. He landed over a dozen of them successfully, but it wasn't enough to discourage Jiri's pressure. Aleksandar Rakic still has potential, but he's still got a ways to go. I would love to see either a fresh matchup between Rakic and Walker or a rematch between Rakic and Oezdemir.
Rakic-Walker is just a ridiculous standup fight, while Rakic-Oezdemir II gives Rakic an opportunity to avenge a past loss. I would imagine the Serbian-Austrian will be returning in 4-5 months.
​

• Bo Nickal vs Cody Brundage

RESULT: Bo Nickal defeats Cody Brundage in Round 2 via submssion
Bo Nickal: Brad Tavares, Armen Petrosyan, or even Chris Weidman
The longest fight of Bo Nickal's career, this performance against Cody Brundage was unappealing for the first round. However the facts remain clear, Bo Nickal's wrestling has translated insanely well to MMA. His skill level overall is still very green, though. He's only 28, so he has some time to improve his overall skillset before he fights ranked competition. We're probably looking at two or three more fights for Nickal before he sees ranked opponents. Bo does have a few options at this point.
Option 1: Veteran Brad Tavares. The Hawaiian has been in the UFC for over 10 years, and is known for his elite takedown defense. In his UFC career, which dates back to 2010, Tavares currently has an 81% takedown defense rate. If Bo Nickal can rag doll him, then he'll prove to be even more terrifying for the middleweight division.
Option 2: Armen Petrosyan. Not as well known as the previous option, but Petrosyan's professional MMA experience is more comparable to Nickal's than Tavares. Nevertheless, this is a good step up for the former Penn State superstar.
Option 3: The biggest name out of these three, Chris Weidman. Don't forget your goggles, Bo. You'll need them. In all honesty, Nickal would definitely be heavily favored against the former middleweight champion if they were to fight.
Cody Brundage: Abu Azaitar
Cody Brundage did the UFC a favor by fighting the boogeyman, Bo Nickal.
I think that we book Cody Brundage-Abu Azaitar. These two are at the same level, and Brundage deserves another fight here
​

• Charles Oliveira vs Arman Tsarukyan

RESULT: Armen Tsarukyan defeats Charles Oliveira via split decision
Arman Tsarukyan: Islam Makhachev II or Dustin Poirier
It wouldn't be a proper UFC milestone event without the tradition of controversial judges' decisions. Arman Tsarukyan beats the former champion Charles Oliveira thanks to his work in the last two rounds of the bout. Now officially this fight was to be a title eliminator.
Charles Oliveira: Renato Moicano
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. We were so close to a Charles redemption arc, but he fell just short in the fight due to Tsarukyan's excellent work from on top. Can Charles get his shot at UFC gold? I think so. There will be a narrative pushed by many people in the community that Oliveira didn't really lose, and he should still be a fight away from a shot at gold. However, in reality, Charles Oliveira will be fighting down the rankings.
I've already mentioned it, but Charles Oliveira-Renato Moicano is the next bout to make. Two pressure fighters with excellent submission skills. I've already broken down this matchup briefly, but it really is that good of a matchup. It's now the perfect time for this matchup.
​

• Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway

RESULT: Max Holloway defeats Justin Gaethje in Round 5 via KO (god damn)
Max Holloway: Ilia Topuria or Winner of Makhachev-Poirier
Oof. A moment of silence for the people who bet on that fight to go the distance. But damn Holloway you are even more legendary, if that was even possible. The last ten seconds of that fight was practically real life Battle Beast vs Thragg. The closer we got to this fight, the more I believed in Max Holloway, and boy oh boy did he deliver. He was on pace for an easy UD win, and he risked everything in the name of the BMF. And for his risk he was rewarded the best KO so far this year, and the best KO of his entire illustrious UFC career.
Max Holloway has the best possible problem to have for a UFC fighter. He needs to decide which belt he wants to chase. Ilia Topuria doesn't have an opponent. Now that fight is incredibly intriguing. Gaethje may have dropped Holloway for the first time, but Holloway's chin is still intact, and unbroken. Between Topuria and Makhachev, I would chose Topuria for Holloway, personally. It's a more appealing stylistic matchup. It is way more fun than Makhachev-Holloway, and with Holloway's absolutely nasty KO of Gaethje, the hype is at an all time high.
I think Islam Makhachev beats Dustin Poirier pretty comfortably, but if Poirier could pull off the upset, then Poirier-Holloway III has a brand new perspective given this improved version, and powerful version of Blessed.
Justin Gaethje: A break.
I don't know who to book for Justin at this point. He just suffered the worst KO loss of his career, going out cold, face first. A KO loss like that should have Gaethje on the sidelines for at least 5-6 months, and since Dustin Poirier could be fighting Islam Makhachev soon, There really isn't any appealing matchup for Gaethje. Mateusz Gamrot? Not really. Beneil Dariush? No. Rafael Fiziev II? He's injured. There isn't a clear opponent for Gaethje, so a break is what he should take. We love you, Justin Gaethje. You deserve a break after that war.
​

• Zhang Weili vs Yan Xiaonan

RESULT: Zhang Weili defeats Yan Xiaonan via unanimous decision
Zhang Weili: Tatiana Suarez
Magnum Zhang wasn't at her best in this fight, but she used her overwhelming strength in the grappling department to overcome the many challenges that Yan Xiaonan provided. Zhang Weili is resilient, and her grappling IQ might be the best at straw weight...with the exception of one fighter.
I have a theory about why the UFC did a China v China bout at UFC 300. I think that the company is planning on going to China later this year. They were set to go last December in Shanghai, but the entire card was moved to the APEX for unknown reasons. By booking a Chinese champ against a Chinese challenger, the UFC were guaranteed to have a Chinese champion after UFC 300. Now the UFC can have a China FN card headlined by Zhang Weili vs Tatiana Suarez. Song Yadong-Kyler Phillips II in the co-main event, and Li Jingliang vs Michael Chiesa, as well as Yan Xiaonan and her opponent, who I will get to in a minute.
Zhang-Suarez is the most appealing fight in all of women's MMA right now. An absolute unit in Zhang Weili, the unbeaten mauler in Suarez. This fight is amazing. Zhang Weili vs Tatiana Suarez, UFC China Main Event. The obvious fight to make.
Yan Xiaonan: Amanda Lemos
Absolute heart from Yan Xiaonan. You have the respect and admiration from the MMA community. Xiaonan was practically finished in the first, and she was nearly finished in the second. There aren't many fights to book, so the only plausible option is Amanda Lemos.
These two haven't fought so the fight makes perfect sense. Put it on the China card alongside the other names that I mentioned. It's a fun, high level bout at straw weight, and if Tatiana Suarez were to beat Zhang Weili, then the winner of this fight might just turn right around and fight for the belt.
​

• Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill

RESULT: Alex Pereira defeats Jamahal Hill in Round 1 via KO
Alex Pereira: Magomed Ankalaev or Jiri Prochazka II at UFC 301
Poatan power doesn't mess around. Alex Pereira reminds the world that his power is second to none in whatever weight class he is in. The scariest power puncher strikes again, and he did it easily to one of the best strikers at 205. Reminder people, this dude fought the best kickboxers on the entire planet. There are great strikers in MMA, and then there's the level Alex is from which is just so much different. Fuck a shot to the groin LMAO.
Alex taking little to no damage in this fight is probably the biggest blessing that UFC 301 could've had. Pereira did say that he wanted to make a quick turnaround if he took little damage, and by golly he took little damage in this fight. Let's save the Brazil card and book Alex Pereira-Magomed Ankalaev for UFC 301. That's an excellent test for Poatan to see how good his grappling is.
If Ankalaev isn't ready for May, then book Pereira-Prochazka II. I know that this fight already happened, but why not watch it again (especially when you check out 301). Prochazka had his fair share of moments in the first fight, and strangely enough, he outlasted Hill. Pereira-Prochazka II is definitely not the first option as shown, but I wouldn't mind it if Ankalaev wasn't ready to fight in May.
Jamahal Hill: Winner of Krylov-Rountree
Former LHW champion Jamahal Hill was the toughest striking challenge that Alex Pereira had at 205, and Alex crushed his mission in just 3 minutes. Jamahal Hill was caught by that iconic left hook and the fight was over from there.
I think the UFC books Nikita Krylov-Khalil Rountree for a UFC event later this year, and the winner will be in position to make a massive jump up the rankings. Hill-Krylov is a battle of two vicious finishers, while Hill-Rountree is a striking match made in heaven. The straight shots and pressure of Hill vs the turbo Muay Thai of Khalil Rountree. If Magomed Ankalaev beats Alex Pereira, then that will open the division back up for Sweat Dreams, but until then, Hill will have to prove himself to get another shot.
​
Thank you all so much for reading this post. I will hopefully see you all next month for UFC 301. As for UFC 400, I did the math, and I will be seeing you all in 2032 for that one. Maybe we will see Rush Holloway fighting on that card by then. Take care everyone, and have yourself a good night!

Just for context, in this specific post:
S = Silent Gen
Cusp = Cusp
BB = Baby Boomer
Since I did one for the other generational divides, I might as well also do one for the Silent/Boomer divide.
I will exclude the 1946-1948 list because that'd be way too long. I'll add them in the comment sections. So in this post, I'll focus on the celebrities born from 1939-1945, a.k.a. "War Babies" (give or take 1939).
I know the vast majority of this sub will disagree but I'll post it anyway.
This is based on the vibes and/or appearance of the celebrity so please don't take this too seriously as this may or may not be accurate, depending on one's view of Silents and Boomers.
This is based on my current perception of these celebrities.

These are my headcanons for the full names of the Total Drama characters in alphabetical order - now updated with the cast of Total Drama Island 2023, they'll be in bold so you can find them! I've decided to put the genderbent names right next to the original names for convenience. If you have any questions on how I managed to come up with these names, comment and I'll give my reasonings based on how much I remember. If more characters are added to the cast, I'll update.
