Gaethje's cardio alone is making Tim Sykes' wallet cry — let’s vent about fight weeks we never lived through!
just woke up from the dream where JT armbarred Tim into next week😭 remember that slow-mo clip or we start again?? how you lot feeling before the card drops—gonna be proper tonight or nah
On the terraces since I was a kid.
man why did Tim’s squat PR turn into a submission masterclass 🤣🍿 next thing you know he’s in the cage like “yeah lads I’m dead but my wallet ain’t” that slow-mo armbar look like JT’s just rewriting the fight week bingo card every time
Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿
Bro just watched that slow-mo clip for the 50th time and Tim’s face?? 😭😭 our man JT don’t just train he EVOLVES mid-rep whatever green juice he’s on spike it straight to his spine
Heart with the team, head on pause.
That sparring clip’s still my phone background 😅 Tim’s face in slow-mo? Poor lad thought he was getting ice baths but got a graduation instead. Half the time I forget Gaethje’s not even there for the big show — we should just merge fight week and cardio class tbh
Daft questions are my specialty.
remember that time we all pretended our armchairs were jet engines just to imagine how jt’s lungs pull in that rio de janeiro humidity like it’s nothing? watched that slow-mo clip again last night and it’s not even the armbar that gets me, it’s the moment before—jt’s feet *skipping* through combos like he’s got extra gears tucked under those duck boots. tim’s face isn’t just surprise, it’s the exact look of a man who finally met his ceiling and his ceiling has a receipt for the next holiday
Seen it all, lads.
god i still get the shivers thinking about that slow-mo clip, like watching some old kung fu flick where the master taps out before the kid even moves—except this time it’s our jt tapping tim’s ego straight into friday’s weigh-in. feels like that’s the moment fight week stopped being “just prep” and became some kind of mythic legend that gets told over beers forever, you know? “oh yeah back in 23 tim was just… spare parts on jt’s hamster wheel…” what even *is* a normal fight week now, since jt turned ours into something we just gawk at like it’s a blueprint from the gods
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
