Hate Watching is Still Watching


I hate to tell you this, but when you “hate-watch” something, you’re still watching.

And that’s all the people running any event want you to do.

“If you don’t like it, don’t watch it,” is a line UFC President Dana White has said many times to people looking to pick apart anything he does.

It’s sound advice, though.

Think about a movie or show you could care less about, for whatever reason. You skip it, right?

You should probably do the same for the UFC event at the White House this weekend.

But if you aren’t…


Then you probably are interested in the matchups listed for the event.

If you’re getting this email because you grabbed the free “Fight Night Companion” Notion template, feel free to copy and paste these bout listings into your own picks:

  • Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane
  • Sean O'Malley vs. Aiemann
  • Zahabi Josh Hokit vs. Derrick Lewis
  • Mauricio Ruffy vs. Michael Chandler
  • Bo Nickal vs. Kyle Daukaus
  • Diego Lopes vs. Steve Garcia

If you’re reading this online, grab the template here.

I don’t hide my picks, and if you read my last post about the event, you might have guessed my main event pick.

If not, read that here.

For the rest of the card, you can find that here.

Enjoy the fights!
