" #whatifwednesday TLDR: local man alters date plans to watch UFC match 🍎 I recently went on a fourth date with a dude who had seemed reasonably okay the first times we hung out. Over the weekend, we met up for dinner right near his apartment. You might assume that we’d have gone back to his place after dinner, but AU CONTRAIRE! While we were eating our appetizers, dude asks me if I like MMA fighting because he told a friend who was hosting a “party” to watch the championship matches that we’d be stopping by. 🍎 There were a few reasons for why I decided to go along with this, which you can ask me about in the comments if you’re curious. We ended up sitting on a sectional couch with only three other people (hence why party is in quotation marks), watching UFC matches until 12:30am. I will admit that I really enjoyed the women’s flyweight match, which ended with a pretty stunning chokehold from the challenger (Alexa Grasso).
