My Little Guy Turned 2!
We went a Monster Jam event a month ago and Tyrus loved it! So we had to make it the theme of his second birthday party!
We rented out a toddler play place and had our close friends and family come celebrate with our boy.
He’s turning into such a little ham these days 😂, so it’s funny to see him interact with everyone.
Man, they grow up so fast!
Shoutout to everyone who came and blessed the boy with gifts!
UFC 285 Tomorrow
This fight card is stacked! Jon Jones is returning as a heavyweight and he’s looking big as hell.
Over the past few years off, he really morphed into a true heavyweight body 😅
Jon has won like 15 in a row and he’s the most dominant light heavyweight in history 🐐
Now he’s fighting a guy who got outwrestled by Ngannou 🤨 and Gane just had hand surgery too. Gane even asked for the fight to be pushed back by a month but the UFC declined.
I’m in the same boat. I’m coming off a hand injury and my hands are my moneymakers. So I know this is going to put Gane at an even bigger disadvantage.
99.9% chance Gane loses. I think Jon picks up where he left off.
Geoff Neal vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov
This is an important fight for me to watch. Geoff and I share a common opponent in Neil Magny.
Geoff lost to Magny, who then got smashed by Shavkat. So it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
Other fights I’m looking forward to
Shoutouts to my guy Cody Garbrandt! He’s making his return.
I know he’s been working hard 💯 and I hope he gets the dub.
Brunson vs. Du Plessis will be entertaining! Dricus is on a streak and has some good momentum. Brunson will probably be looking for the takedown while Du Plessis will try to keep it on the feet and go for the KO. We’ll see who implements their game.
Ian Garry is also taking on Song Kenan. Looks like the UFC is giving Garry a homerun on a T-ball set 😂. It’s a shitty return fight for Song.
Feels like the matchmakers want Kenan out considering he hasn’t fought in 2 years since I sent him to the Shadow Realm 🤣

Creativity Unlocked 🔥💨
I don’t only use cannabis to get lit 🥴
Cannabis makes me more creative. Not really in an artistic way, but in a strategic way. It kinda puts things together for me and helps me gather my thoughts.
I start to see problems from different angles and perspectives. This gives me the room to be creative about how to get things done, and some of my best creative solutions have come while high!
Whenever I have an issue I need to figure out, I’ll smoke. Then the truth shall be revealed.
And here’s a training secret…
I religiously get lit before jiu-jitsu. It helps my energy and makes me more fluid with my movements. It’s one of my secret weapons!
So that’s why I’m almost always lit 😂
MPG Hot Takes
The Senate just voted to “declassify” COVID origins 🤨
This has been a hot button so far, and the fingers are pointing at China to blame. This was right before the Chinese spy balloon drama too.
China is also in bed with Russia in their war with Ukraine, that we are funding the F out of. So… it’s looking like some shit is gonna hit the fan soon.
And one last bit about China, they just reported a human case of H5N1 bird flu. Stay tuned 😵
Also, why is there not enough spotlight on the folks in Palestine, Ohio? They need help. That train derailment really messed up the area and is causing more damage to everything than what’s being reported.
Outside of current events - Chris Brown threw some fan’s phone into the crowd during his concert 😂
He brought her on stage and she wouldn’t put her phone down 🤦♂️
I would’ve thrown that shit too! People forget about enjoying the moment these days. Instead of living in it, they would rather record it, SMH.
What do you think? Would you have done the same thing?
Meme of the Week 😂😂
I really can’t tell… 💀🤷🏽♂️
That is the end of MPG Letter #18!
