KA MATE KA Mate. Ka Ora, Ka ora.
It is death, it is death. It is life, it is life.
The Haka doesn’t have to be something that is feared. Above all else it is a rallying cry for Maori warriors to come together, join forces and prevail.
Yet never has the Ka Mate Haka been quite as powerful and moving as this one performed at the scene of Jerry Collins and Alana Madill’s fatal crash.
The brilliant blindside’s All Black team-mates Neemia Tialata, Byron Kelleher, Chris Masoe, Carl Hayman and Ali Williams performed the traditional rallying cry this week, with Tialata tweeting:
Collins’ daughter Ayla survived the crash but remains in critical condition. This crowd-funding page was set up to support the 11-week-old orphan and has already raised over NZ$31,000.
All the pony he’s been talking about mcgregor and he can’t even make weight
Max Halloway now well deserves a shot at Aldo and if he wins we might see Halloway fight the real champion next year.
He should have had the shot at Aldo to begin with. What a farce.
So the belt is at stake for one of them…ffs what a joke shop, after all that fuss with McGregor and the FW belt. And your man can’t even make weight….Conor must be laughing his ass off, both belts on shoulders
LOL, serves them right for using this fight as an excuse to take the belt off CM. They easily couldve said “it’ll be >20m by the time he gets to defend his belt so we’re taking it”, but instead they decided to create more interim nonsense fights and have ended up with egg on their faces… Hope Pettis wins now, just to complicate it even more
McGregor wouldn’t make that mistake
I’m not 100% but judging from embedded . He arrived in late Wednesday flight delayed 3 hrs stuff Holloway been there ages. No excuse at that level should have had everything in order
You’re right, he was also eating steak and eggs a few days out from the fight. Can’t help but feel a chicken salad would have been a better alternative
Spot on Alan. I was watching it thinking, he is a natural LW eating steak from a restaurant days before a FW weigh in hahaha… Unprofessional it is!
At the end of the day though nothing really changes. If Hollaway wins then obviously he’s the interim champion and gets a shot at Aldo next year. But if Pettis wins then fair enough he doesn’t get the interim title but who else are they going to get to fight Aldo
