    Love… is a burnin’ thing…

    And it makes… a fiery ring.

    Bound… by wild desire…

    I fell into a ring of fire.

    The taste… of love is sweet…

    When hearts… like ours meet.

    I fell for you like a child…

    Ooooh, but the fire went wild.

    Johnny Cash and June Carter:

    Two fucked up, rough and tumble assholes who… married and remained together, totally devoted to and thankful for each other for 35 years, died within 4 months of each other.

    Burnin’ Ring of Fire is one of the most famous songs of all time… June wrote it, Johnny sang the most famous version.

    Andrew Tate:

    Self described drug dealer, rapist, sex trafficker, failed MMA fighter… openly states he is disgusted by nearly all women, and only fucks them because it makes other men envious of him, also he claims to only fuck 18 and 19 yos … apparently he married someone a few months ago.

    I’m sure that’ll work out well.

    Oh right, uh, no notable discography, nor chin.

    (why do you think he has the beard)

      I sing this song (well, actually the Wall of Voodoo cover usually) on the toilet after Mexican food gets the best of me.

      June inspired it when she told Johnny “loving you is like being caught in a ring of fire”, but she didn’t write the song. It’s a common myth that she penned the actual song.

        Idk about MMA, but afaik his kickboxing record was pretty good, but essentially he was an average/slightly above average pro who had a massively padded record - he mainly fought people who were ranked far lower than him, won some low to mid level titles and didn’t take actual fair matchups or compete in tournaments that you’d expect actual highly ranked pros would compete in.

        So, he was a perfectly adequate kickboxer (I am certain he could kickbox better than me: a marginally athletic casual BJJ practitioner who does not know how to kick things) and even a lot of pro kickboxers in lower divisions but nowhere near “best in the world” / “olympic level” or whatever else he claims

        Wait you haven’t seen this?

        Hold on…

        https://youtube.com/watch?v=yPW0VaTYhN4

        Watch those knees just go fucking limp and askew… real KOs lol.

        Its likely not viral because this is all bootleg, PPV footage, you’d get copyright takedown’d / sued into oblivion by all the various fight organizations.

        I think most of his record is in relatively minor leagues, only a few fights in relatively bigger deal organizations… not sure.

    That guy is a piece of garbage for sure, but as a man losing most of his hair I hope not to be lumped in with trash like that.

    PS: Who is the other guy? Sorry for not knowing.
