ULTIMATE FIGHTING CORPORATION

They went super corporate for bs as in billions
and next step opened global markets. Used to be
corn fed wrestlers, mismatch gloves, and Silva.
But now, the American Champs
of every weight are thinning in number.

Turns out every place we fucked had people
and her people had babies who picked diamonds
these kids ran errands for cartels, made a life
of avoiding death. And these kids,
they’re all good at fighting on equal footing.
