Instagram’s embed function seems to be working again. After a hiccup yesterday, I checked this morning, and things are back on track. It’s frustrating when changes on their end cause issues, but it looks like we’re good now. Just a heads-up: there might not be as many Instagram embeds today as usual. I had to rely on Twitter for some parts, but the show must go on, right?
Moving on to UFC 318, it was a thrilling night in New Orleans. Headlined by local hero Dustin Poirier’s last fight, the event kicked off with a series of exciting finishes. Six matches, all ending early—five were first-round stoppages! However, the main event was a different story. Poirier faced Max Holloway for the third time, battling for the “BMF” belt. Despite the hype, the fight went the distance, and Poirier lost by unanimous decision. It’s a tough way to end a career, especially when you’ve been knocked out in the past. Still, finishing on your feet is better than a KO.
Poirier might not have walked away with the belt, but he leaves with a rich legacy in the octagon. Losing to Holloway is no small feat; he is a formidable opponent. Poirier’s farewell fight was the end of an era, but he remains a respected figure in fighting. And for a little celebrity flair, Lil Wayne was in attendance—always a plus!
Switching gears, let’s talk about body camera footage. It’s interesting to consider how interactions between police and the public would play out without them. Transparency has changed the game significantly in law enforcement.
