The Pimblett fight was impressive.

Not the way I wanted to see McGregor lose, but I'm glad that slimy loudmouth didn't leave with a victory.

Missed the fight, but the good thing is that since the UFC isn’t PPV anymore, it was easy to find on YT.

Agreed on the cocky loudmouth’s loss. Now he’s lost both his last UFC fights from a leg injury suffered while the opponent wasn’t actively pounding on him.

This one was just dangerous form, throwing that jumping switch kick with his right leg angled that way.
 
My expectations are low these days.
Enjoyed Danger Man. First season-25 min episodes- formulaic. 2nd Season was good with 45 min episodes and some much better plot lines. 3rd Season also decent, heralded the advent of Bond. Every ethnicity being represented with makeup was entertaining, as well as hearing Hindi being passed off as a Middle Eastern language.

I am not a big UFC fan but I used to catch fights more regularly, especially when my wife was practicing jiu-jitsu. These days, I mostly just follow some of the news and watch highlights. I have never been a McGregor fan, so I was not disappointed in that outcome.

I like Pimblett though, he doesn't seem to have a malicious bent to him, and just loves what he does. Entertaining, for sure.
 
I watched Anthropoid last night, based on the operation that brought on the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in German occupied Prague. A grim movie, made even grimmer by a quick refresher on the actual historical events. It's good to be reminded once in awhile of the evil humankind can be capable of.
 
My wife and I finished Widow's Bay last night. If you have not heard of it, it is a comedy/horror series on AppleTV. My wife was pretty spooked by it, but I thought it was great. The best way to think about it is a Stephen King-esque horror series with some seriously dark humor sprinkled in at perfect moments to keep the plot moving.

Not perfect, but enjoyable for sure.

Let me know what you think after you watch it. It's one of those types of films that might be easier to digest in good company.

Will do. I've read a ton of books on the events of that period, and seen numerous films and documentaries on related subject matter. That said, it's not something you can ever turn off the visceral reaction to...at least in my experience.
