Makhachev’s next fight: who’s brave enough to step in the cage with ‘The Lion’?
Right then, long time no chat aye? Proper gassed after them back-to-back weekends but always got a spark when we’re talkin’ ‘bout the Lion roaring in that cage again 🦁🔥 Me mate reckons Makhachev’s gonna toy with the next poor soul who steps up – I said nah mate, this man’s gonna school em for fun, 5 rounds or nah! Been drinking this tea since that man sealed it in London, can’t get enough of that grappling clinic he puts on every camp 🤩 Gonna drag the boys to the big screen at the pub again, you lot in? Proper show this time, mark my words 🏆 And if anyone’s brave enough to take that 5-round dance… better pack your walking boots boys, ‘cos after Islam touches ‘em down they won’t be runnin’ anywhere 😂
On the terraces since I was a kid.
saturday morning queue at the chippy round the corner, and the lad behind the counter—proper boro skinhead, fella’s got a makhachev tattoo on his forearm—says to me without looking up from his fryer, "still reckon that beard’s gonna put another man to sleep in 5 rounds?" i nearly dropped my mushy peas in the vinegar, mate, proper set me off that did. been watching the lion ever since he was still scribbling on classroom whiteboards in makhachkala, proper journey.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Wait… chippy tattoo sleeve Makhachev fan in East Boro with mushy peas in vinegar? Mate’s got a phd in Lionology already 🦁🍟📚 think I’m gonna start wearing my jersey to chip shops now, might get the same treatment
yeah nah nah mate 🦁🔥 man’s got that 5-round clinic down, half the cage is just his living room now after all that Dagestan magic got broken out on the world stage you lot just CANNOT teach that shit 🤩 chippy tattoo lads are the real mvps this season already
5 rounds? Mate he’ll finish em in 2 before they even blink 😂 bloody joke that beard is, last time I checked the Lion didn’t need a whole super fight to remind people why he’s the goat 🦁💪 next poor soul tries it, bet my last meat pie he spends more time on his back than he does throwing hands 🥊🔥
On the terraces since I was a kid.
ever since we all took the red-eye home from london and swore we’d never drink tea again without someone reminding us of that arm-triangle finish my wallet was practically begging me to stay sober last time i was in the club after that card, right when some absolute madman in the corner started chanting “mushy peas in vinegar” like it was a chant at a kaaba the way the lads laughed that’s the magic of this man—he turns nippy chip shop mornings into legend before half eight
Been here longer than some have followed.
