This isn’t a question but sharing an interesting observation I made from Nick Diaz choice of walkout theme at 266. Nick walked out to Ceremony by Deftones.
Here’s a selection of the lyrics that stuck out and struck a chord with his entire situation.
The opening verse:
How can't you see this is the end?
Let's face the truth, it's obvious
A different morning, the same charade
Tell me, what's left?
And the chorus:
So I'm leaving you tonight
It's not fun here anymore
I'll be joining the parade
Of the ghosts who came before
Diaz brothers communication is often subtle on the surface but there’s a lot of meaning to be found in non-verbal.
I may be reading into it too much but with everything that came out pre and post fight, it felt ominous. Really wish last week’s guest didn’t pull out.
Hey Ariel, with your role at BT Sport, will you be part of the coverage of Fury vs Wilder 3?
Also, would you rather fight 10 duck sized Francis Ngannous or one Francis Ngannou sized duck?
