Szintet lép a TOTALDAMAGE: hivatalos Vegas.hu partnerek lettünk! A TOTALDAMAGE.hu, Magyarország elsőszámú MMA magazinja egy újabb mérföldkőhöz érkezett: együttműködésbe…

Ezt a heti küzdősportos hírlevélemben írtam, de gondoltam ide is kirakom. / I wrote this in my weekly fight business newsletter, but wanted to share it here too.

I'm Hungarian. Born and raised. On Sunday, Péter Magyar's Tisza Party ended Viktor Orbán's 16-year government in a landslide — the highest voter turnout in Hungary's post-Communist history. I welcome the change, and I'm proud of the Hungarian people.

Orbán did real things for sport in Hungary. Infrastructure, investment, visibility — that part is fair to acknowledge. But he and the boys ran a corrupt government that hollowed out the middle class, punished merit, and rewarded proximity to power over talent and hard work. He divided the country by always giving people an enemy that wanted to destroy Hungary, destroy its values, destroy its way of life. Everything was fueled by fear, not love. Hungary became one of the poorest countries in the EU on his watch, and the people who paid the price were the ones who had nothing to do with the machine.

Three and a half years ago I moved to the US with my wife and younger kids. Combat sports and entertainment is where the industry lives. But staying was also shaped by the feeling that Hungary had no room for people who wanted to build something on their own terms. If you weren't connected to the right people, you were competing with one hand tied behind your back.

My family and friends are still there. I wish I was with them last Sunday. I represented Hungary for 16 years in the National Team and won a World Karate Championship for Hungary. I know what it means to wear that flag and fight for something. Last Sunday, the Hungarian people showed that same courage — and I couldn't be more proud of them.
