"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

Groupie (Superstar)
This song is credited to Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell, but I've read that Delaney actually wrote many, maybe all, of the songs credited to Bonnie. He let her have the credit because he had a music publishing deal he didn't like.

You can't say he's afraid of tough competition. He's signed to fight Alastair Overeem in December. Based on the caliber of fighters he's defeated lately, Reem can lay a solid claim to best heavyweight in the world right now.

They've announced that their first show on Fox will feature Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos for the heavyweight belt. If they put that on PPV, it would be guaranteed to generate at least 700,000 buys. So they are leaving a lot of money on the table. On the other hand, it is a high-profile matchup that should be an action-filled fight, so they are kicking off the Fox series with a big bang.
