Convoys of short-back-and-sided young men are currently pilgrammaging to Sydney this weekend, ahead of UFC293 in Qudos arena on Sunday.
The human cockfighting of mixed martial arts has achieved mainstream popularity within the corporate sector of late, as men who really struggled with team sports as kids work tirelessly to learn as many stats and facts about professional fighters as they can – in an effort to present themselves as the type of blokes who could probably handle themselves in a scrap as well.
Harrold Favy, A supple handed mortgage broker from Betoota’s up market Double Hay district is struggling to contain his excitement this week ahead of a boy’s weekend in the big smoke to watch the UFC.
Despite his closest brush with physical combat arising over an argument at the pub when a rival real estate agent stepped on his suede loafers, the self-proclaimed MMA ‘expert’ cannot wait to see his hero Bam Bam Tuivasa in action.
After an entire week of highlighting how much he knows about combat sports to any pour soul who got trapped next to him, this corporate softcock will now spend a weekend plastering photos from the weigh-in, press conferences and the fight night itself all over his social media account with an output that would rival his on-again off-again situationship’s current updates from the Amalfi Coast.
Having secured a ‘number’ in that scary part of Sydney that he’s never once visited before, the boys plan on meeting their connect in Parramatta on Saturday morning before arriving at Qudos bank arena for the prelims.
“Just locked in my multi boys, paying $10k haha.” he said.
“I reckon Izzy (Israel Adesanya) will dominate with the overhand right. If he gets him on the mat it’s all over. He’s starting to master his ground which is really important for middleweight fights like this”
“Anyway meeting the boys in the lounge at 6am for the first schooner.”
“Ahah eshay”
The Betoota Advocate will be closely following the imminent culture clash set to take place when these boys arrive in Western Sydney.
MORE TO COME.
