I was about to do a full feature on UFC's most famous and hyped 200th PPV but the news that Brock Lesner, the co-headliner of Mega, Landmark Event had failed a drug test made me changed my mind. Brock as we all know is an athlete of few equals in world, has been my key reason to cover this event. He made a triumphant return in Octagon against Mark Hunt, the number 8th ranked heavyweight MMA fighter in world and collected a winner's purse of USD 2.5 millions but this latest development of a failed drug test will not only jeopardize his earnings but as well his future engagements with both WWE (which he currently signed with) and UFC (no one can deny his future with them). He is currently scheduled to fight Randy Orton at WWE flagship event of Summerslam, a fight that was 14 years in the making but everything will be in dark now. WWE too has revised its drug-test policy to tilt in recent years and regularly suspends its performers when they fail it. They have, just couple of weeks ago, suspended their biggest superstar in making, Roman Reigns in violation of its drug test policy and presently under Triple H regime, I have little doubt why they would spare Brock......Keeping in light with these events, I shall now aim to do a feature on UFC after their 202nd PPV which is scheduled to main event Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 2 fight......Till then, adios!!!!
It's really hard to switch on to a different language from the one you have constantly been tinkering with. I grew so accustomed to writing in Hindi in last few days that it started dawning on me that I might never be good again with my English. So this is a tester, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday, one of my movie group friends, an American by nationality, questioned my fondness of documentaries. I specifically wrote in one of my columns that documentaries demand your unwavering attention and once you gave 'that' to them, you are rewarded much more handsomely than a proper, narrative, fictitious film. My reasoning for believing so is that a documentary is an experience of a creative process. It doesn't get made to 'entertain' you. They are there to reveal something to you. They teach you something. You get overwhelmed by them. 'Racing Extinction (2015)' was one such documentary. I watched it in last couple of days. I couldn't complete it in one ...
