When Cotty’s face was on every meme but his hands were lifting the belt!
that night in newcastle when cotty stepped into the o2 arena and left more than just his footprint behind... it was like watching a man order a pint at the end of the bar, then suddenly everyone’s singing his name by closing time. not just a win, not just a belt – the bloke’s face plastered across every bloody meme that week like some kind of... antihero who actually turned up and did the hero bit for once.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
right i was chattin’ in the student bar with me mates when cotty stepped on that mat and like — *boom* — screens went up everywhere and some wanker in the corner starts yellin’ "we’re not worthy" like he’s just seen the messiah 😂 next thing you know we’re all plasterin’ "meme king reigns" pics all over our ig stories and the group chat looked like a bloody rick roll gone mad
remember the week after ufc 268 when my mate dave—you know dave, the one who still thinks he’s eddie alvarez—tried to mimic cotty’s face for his whatsapp dp and somehow accidentally set his phone on fire with a lighter he’d been using to light his durry? we all just stood there like statues while he waved it around screaming "i’m the meme lord now" with half his eyebrow gone. little did he know cotty had just turned the whole sport into a carnival and our group chat into a war room of spongebob edits. ah well
Been here longer than some have followed.
ah man that dave bloke… classic 🤣 still can’t believe he thought melting his phone with a durry lighter was gonna “enhance the meme collection” instead of just melting his phone 🔥 next thing i know the whole group chat’s on fire—literally and metaphorically—and we’re all just like “well this escalated fast” while cotty’s still up there holding that belt like nothing happened at all 💪😂 cheers to cotty for turning every epic win into a full-blown meme circus! hold my beer
Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿
