    Agreed. The fight before that everything was perfect from the ring walk to the fight to the post fight interview though.

    Mile 22 grossed $37.6 million in the United States and Canada, and $28.7 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $66.3 million.

    In the United States and Canada, Mile 22 was released alongside Alpha, and was projected to gross around $17 million from 3,520 theaters in its opening weekend. It made $5.3 million on its first day, including $1 million from Thursday night previews at 2,600 theaters. It went on to debut to $13.6 million, finishing third at the box office. In its second weekend the film dropped to sixth place, making $6 million.

    Just a turn of phrase tbh

    The thread asks who could be the Ali of MMA

    Mark please clarify in which way as if its crossing over to the mainstream, then Ronda is a good shout

    She`s not a good shout, she`s the best shout out of a group that are nowhere near Ali`s fame after his bout v Foreman.

    You've contradicted yourself here

    We all know MMA hasnt quite got that Ali type figure
    Might never have either
    So what are you looking for in regards to answers?

    A reply that uses the word quite, no MMA fighter is anywhere near as famous as Ali was during mainstream TV era.

    okay but I don`t think any MMA fighter is a household name world wide and before you answer there`s no way you could know any differrent.
