Mark your calendar: the moment you’ve been waiting for is finally on the horizon.

The match is probably an excuse to have bagmen pay 10% to the Big Guy for his cut of what they plan to pay Iran to pretend they’re not working on nukes anymore.

If Taylor and Yazdani wrestle, that will be the highlight of the friendly.

I don’t invite such people into my house.
