Rebecca Watford isn’t your typical fighter. By day, she’s an elementary school teacher, and by night, she’s a fierce Muay Thai competitor preparing for a high-stakes international title fight.

With just one week’s notice, Watford is set to challenge for the WBC international belt at 110 pounds, a dream she’s pursued for over a decade. Her journey to this moment is anything but conventional. After spending nearly two years fighting in Thailand, where competing on short notice was the norm, Watford has developed a mental toughness that sets her apart.

That’s a wrap for 35! This was one of the most action packed cards from start to finish that we’ve had in quite some time. The fights were incredibly entertaining and the crowd blew the roof off of the joint 🤯

We’re so grateful for all of the fighters, camps, event staff, medical personnel, and the fans who were there live and also those who supported from afar. We have the privilege of doing what we do because of you. Thank you 🙏

S/O to the big boss for crushing the matchmaking for a memorable Muay Thai Matinee 💥🥊

Once upon a time back in the day, I was just a pup in the game. The big dog was the first UFC fighter to ever give me the opportunity for an interview.

This was just before he went on a meteoric rise that saw him fight for a world title.

From interviews, the pheasant hunting trip, shooting content, or just BS’n at the gym…. Thank you 🙏

If they ever reboot The Goonies, Marvin Vettori has to be the leading candidate to play Sloth. “Virtually identical” 🤣

Does he take home the rematch or does Roman Dolidze get his lick back?

Legends are made in victory, but history is written in upsets 🥊🔥

Israel Adesanya walks into the cage as the favorite, but Nassourdine Imavov isn’t here for the role of supporting cast — he’s ready to steal the spotlight.

Will this be the moment a Father Time shows up, or a chapter in The Last Stylebender’s redemption arc?

Don’t blink. History doesn’t wait.

Winter isn’t just cold—it’s clarity. ❄️ In the stillness of the season, I’ve found pieces of myself I didn’t know were missing. Embrace the chill 🥶 sometimes the frost reveals what the fire concealed. ✨

2025. Time to make this little guy proud 🔜

I could write a big caption with all the positive possum buzzwords in the traditional new year manifestations post, but it’s not always sunshine and roses.

No one is coming to save you. F*ck them, do it for you. Chase YOUR dreams.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Write that down ✍️

Who is the better candidate for 2024 Fighter of the Year?

2024 Resume:
-3 Title Defenses
-3 KOs (Jamahal Hill, Jiří Prochazka, Khalil Roundtree)

2024 Resume:
-2 Title Fights (Challenger & Champion)
-2 KOs (Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway)

Up until yesterday, I thought Poatan was a runaway favorite to with FOTY. Now, it’s a hard debate. Yes, Ilia only has two wins to Alex’s three, but those two are GOATs that he sent to the shadow realm.

Impressive.

What do you think?
