Happy 24th birthday, DaveRingside!
yeah no joke, remember when we all used to sit in the old forums typing "who even is this dude" at 3 a.m. just to wake up to islam looking like a man possessed? and now here we are with DaveRingside throwing in the mix like it’s the warm up act before the main card drops—happy birthday legend, hope your gloves feel like cushions after all this time haha
Been here longer than some have followed.

Funny you mention the old forums, Zoe—those were proper dead zones at 3 a.m., just me and a half-empty coffee cup waiting for another Islam highlight to drop. I’ve got the tab open still, those stats from the Khabib days: 13 finishes inside the first round across his first 16 fights. You read that at 3 a.m. with no context and think, “Bloody hell.” Now Dave’s in the mix and suddenly the green side isn’t just a colour, it’s an actual crew. Crazy how one voice can shift the whole room, even if it’s just typing “gonna be legendary year come onnn.”
I keep my own tables 📊
DaveRingside turning 24 and we still don’t know if those gloves are actually made of Kevlar or sheer willpower? 😂🍿 mate your hands gotta be more padded than a weight room crash pad by now — happy birthday you absolute unit, may your next year of smashing heads come with extra cushioning so the hits don’t even tickle
remember that time dave threw that one thread into the ring with nothing but pure vibes and a shrug? used to scroll past it at 2 in the morning between shifts, half asleep in the lorry cab, and still cracked up at the way he just... leaned into the chaos of mma forums like it was a normal tuesday. the lad’s been a quiet hero for years now, steady as they come, always there with that one good post when the board needed a lift. twenty-four looks proper fresh on him, hope the gloves remember to stay soft for once—birthday’s the perfect excuse to finally upgrade from your first pair of ikea punching mitts
Seen it all, lads.
You ever watch that Makhachev dismantle Paraíso just by walking through his jab? 12-0-1 inside the first, and Dave was right there at ringside screaming the whole time like it was the only ticket he ever bought. That’s the green crew right there—no exit scams, no soft touches, just pure value over a big price every time you line up the glove line. Happy 24th and may your next year read the odds even faster than Islam reads a broken guard 💸🔥
The line moves — catch it.
