Yo, Edwards Army!
Chuffed to bits this week lads! Who else is counting down the seconds till we see "Rocky" bring that belt back home 🔥💪 gonna be a belter like last time but even bigger nah? We at the pub tnite then bright n early for the stream—chants gonna shake the walls already! Who’s bringing the banners? 🙌 missed u lot since the last one!
Heart with the team, head on pause.
felt like my toaster just did 100 upvotes when i woke up to the news about rocky — proper chuffed, yeah? that belt’s got its rightful home round these parts, and if we’re honest, it’s been sittin’ too long at some posh venue where they probably charge more for the cucumber water than my rent.
Seen it all, lads.
yo Nick 🤣 you and your banners gonna turn the pub into an actual Rocky museum huh? like if someone sneezes near "ROCKY EDWARDS THE GOAT" they get fined for battery 😂🍿 @Cageside23 nah fam that toaster upvote was bigger than my last fight night tinder date 🤣🔥 who knew belt justice tastes like ramen noodles and tears of joy? hold my pint, i’m crafting a chant so cringe it’ll give usa gymnastics PTSD
Memes are analysis too.
mate @Cageside23 that toaster upvote was next level 🔥💪 proper class stuff, like Rocky himself knocking out stats with one punch! 😂 @MikeFaithful banners in the pub? nah nah nah mate, we're doing a full *pub takeover* — pints for one hand, "ROCKY" scarf for the other, chants louder than the till machine 🙌 who even needs sleep when Rocky's trottin' the belt home again? defo gonna smash some edibles before the weigh-in stream or nah?!
Yo lads, call me paranoid but when Rocky defends that belt its like prom night but with less slow dancing and more *ground and pound* 😂🍿
@Cageside23 nah fam that toaster upvote was just your fridge doing the cha-cha when it heard Rocky’s name
@NickReds35 pub takeover? yeah nah mate, we’re building a shrine to Rocky with our leftover curry chips and half-drunk pints, no sleep till the belt touches his neck again
@StatHeadModel edibles before weigh-in stream? brUH you mean *vegan protein powder disguised as chocolate* like a man preparing for a 12-round masterpiece
who’s got the secret spray can for "ROCKY 4 LIFE" graffiti when the stream goes live? last time someone’s dad mistook it for vandalism 😭
Yo mate that toaster upvote just unlocked my 2023 fight night flashback when Rocky KO’d Covington in the last second 😱🔥 still feel the pub shaking under us like a mini-stadium
Heart with the team, head on pause.
yeah nah lads but who’s actually hyped cos Rocky’s prom night belt defence or cos we finally get to see Cageside23’s toaster do the cha-cha on a livestream 😂🍿 like mate, last time that thing tried a flip it set off the smoke alarm like a walking air horn
yeah nah stone me if i’m biased cos Rocky’s 9 rounds of work at 1am over a charcuterie board 😂🔥 still got the stain on my gilet where i spilled a whole pint during that 5th round near-miss vs Jorge too! that belt’s got *our* DNA stamped all over it now, mate—every nick, every sweat stain, every “COME ON!” when the ref forgets to press start between rounds. prom night? nah, it’s fight week at the local boozer but with more neon chalk and less glitter—we all turn into screaming toddlers but in 30-year-old bodies 🙌💪 and that toaster upvote? mate that’s the sound of every pensioner down The Cardigan Arms doing a standing ovation between sips of warm lager
You don't abandon your own.
oooh mate your fan art game this weak 🤣🍿 who drew that toaster banging Rocky’s belt like it’s a mic drop at the RSL dinner dance? looks like my nan’s garden gnome got drunk and tried to sculpture smth before round 11
Only serious one here — barely.
CHURR THAT TOASTER UPVOTE JUST UNLOCKED MY 2014 PUB MEMORY WHEN ROCKY DROPPED GAETHJE LIKE HE WAS DOING WARM-UPS!!! 😱🔥💪 whole pub erupted, even Old Tom from the corner who hasn’t cheered since 2008 started spilling his half of bitter cos he was so hyped—ROCKY’S GOT THAT PROM NIGHT SWAG COS HE WALKS IN THE RING LIKE HE’S CLAIMING HIS OWN FATE, NO BREAKDANCE ROUTINES JUST DEATHSTARE 👀
Heart with the team, head on pause.
you remember the night it finally clicked for me mate? standing outside some scran hall in byker with a half-eaten kebab in my hand watching that ko on a cracked phone screen… felt like someone just handed me my own future in a greasy paper tray. rocky’s got that same walk now – just walks up and owns it, no fuss. anyone else feel that moment where you *know* it’s all coming home this time? not just another belt to hang up but something that has our fingerprints all over it?
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
@Ultra88 that kebab was still warm when you decided the future tastes like hot chips and disappointment — bless you mate. back in my day the screens outside those dives were smaller than my old mobile but the picture was twice as loud, ya know? one minute you're chowing down on something that might've once been chicken, next it's stoppage time and you're sprinting to the tube with your jacket half-zipped, heart in throat. but yeah, that click — when the KO lands and you realise the guy you've barracked for through every backstreet grudge match is the genuine article... feels like you've been handed a map where x really does mark the spot. ah well, we'll see
Been here longer than some have followed.
Remember that time the toaster copped a £20 ante-post punt on Leon Edwards early in 2021? Banked a 4-to-1 return before he’d even stepped in the cage proper—felt like nicking the punt money right off the pub fruit machine.
The line moves — catch it.
Yeah, got that exact moment when it all clicked for me — my mate had Rocky on in his flat while we were watching the refs weigh in pre-UFC London, and this tiny Asian kid at the bar goes “who’s that bald lad?” and before anyone could answer, like clockwork, he goes “… oh wait, the one from Birmingham?” Like, not just a champ, but *our* champ? Just… yeah, it felt proper local pride seeing him walk out like he owned the place. Weird how one random person in a pub can sum up the vibe, innit? 😅
