![]() ![]() Only to find out that it's essentially a children's belt from the YMCA in terms of what kind of Judo belt system there is in Egypt. In the podcast interview I linked Russell talks about how Ali claims to be a black belt in judo and an Olympian. The FBI told the NYPD not to trust this guy. He was actually terminated as an informant because he failed a polygraph. The details of the articles and story are about how he's a con man among other things. They are abstract and surreal, but strike a nice balance between being readable and thought provoking. These are not conventionally rendered stories, but a sort of written performance art. He was an informant because of affiliations with MOA and QOU (North American terrorist organisations). Mike Russell’s 2014 short story collection Nothing is Strange is a series of unsettling vignettes. This guy deserves support and if you listen to this podcast he needs it.Įdit: If you haven't heard about this story it's all about the manager of Khabib, Justin Gaethje, Frankie Edgar, and Cody Garbrandt just to name a few. Russell has also been working on important stuff about the Edmonton commission as well. I only just heard about this because of reddit less than a month ago and part 1 was released in late 2015. If you haven't heard about this here's part 1 and part 2 of his reporting on the subject. Hopefully now that Ali isn't with WSOF more journalists will talk about this. Mike has said he'll be doing a follow up (on twitter) about this story that he's going to be finalizing soon. ![]() At the 1:11:30 mark of this podcast they talk about it. ![]()
