Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} You Don't Belong Here... by Michón Neal Khabib Nurmagomedov to Michael Chandler: Go home, you don’t belong here. The UFC recently signed Michael Chandler, with exceptionally high expectations. A former Div I All American wrestler from the University of Missouri, Chandler began fighting in 2009. He went 12-0, beating Eddie Alvarez and Patricky Freire back to back to win and twice defend the Bellator belt, before losing it via Split Decision in a rematch vs. Alvarez. Chandler lost the next two fights to Will Brooks, but bounced back in 2015 with two wins, and the next year beat Patricky Freire in the rematch to again win the Bellator title, and successfully defend it via Split Decision vs. Benson Henderson. In his sole fight in 2017, Chandler lost the belt via leg injury to Brent Primus. But he again bounced back, winning two more before defeating Primus in the rematch, to claim the belt a third time. Chandler lost the belt to Patrício Freire, bounced back with two more wins, most recently knocking out Benson Henderson in August. And then, a free agent, he signed with the UFC, after Bellator declined to match the offer. Chandler is now on Fight Island, serving as a back up for the UFC 254 main event – should either lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov or interim champ Justin Geathje withdraw for any reason, Chandler is in. During a recent interview with TSN’s reporter Aaron Bronsteter, Nurmagomedov was not impressed. “I don’t even need to use my wrestling against Michael Chandler,” said Khabib. “I know he came here to Abu Dhabi, but he’s going to come here, make weight and go home. Thank you Michael Chandler, go home and fight with some other fighters. He’s not high-level championship fighter in UFC. Two fights ago he lose in other organization, featherweight, he knock him out. He have to show the world he can fight for the title. Fight with someone from Top 5 in UFC and then we gonna talk about him.” Arkansas cop fired after being filmed telling group of black men 'you don't belong in my city' An Arkansas police officer has been fired after a viral video showed him telling a group of black men that they didn’t belong in the city. WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC LANGUAGE. The England Police Department confirmed Officer Michael Moore was fired after a video posted on Facebook by Demarcus Bunch captured the July 21 incident, THV11 reported. Bunch said he and his cousin Shannon Scribner were in the area shooting a music video when they noticed Moore nearby. Bunch said he was told Moore was watching them as soon as they entered the small town of some 3,000 people. “I was wondering, ‘Why is he doing this,” Bunch told THV11. “We’re in small England. Everybody knows everybody.” Bunch said the officer slowed down to see what the group was doing when he decided to approach the officer. Bunch said his uncle is a police officer with the England Police Department. “I’m Mike Moore,” the officer tells the group of men in the video. Scribner explained to the officer that they were in the area to shoot a video. “We just noticed you’ve been following us everywhere,” Bunch says to Moore. “Are you recording right now?” Moore asks. Bunch replies that he is. “You know why? Because you don’t belong in my city,” Moore replies. “We’re from here,” Bunch says. "But you understand, I know who my people are, right, who belongs here and who doesn't? We've got gang wars going on, we've got all kinds of stuff. I come from the big city where this stuff is small, okay? So, that's cool. Do your thing,” the officer says. "You said we don't belong in your city, though?" Bunch asks. Moore replies he has not seen the men around before. Bunch says he graduated from the local high school. "Well good for you, my name is Mike Moore. I'm not from here. Step away from my car, I'm about to get my dog out,” he says before walking away. Bunch said he spoke to his uncle who told them to speak to the chief about the incident. The men filed a complaint to Chief Danna Powell but didn’t hear anything for 15 days. Bunch subsequently decided to upload the video to his Facebook after not hearing anything from the police department. The police department confirmed that Moore was terminated on Wednesday. However, this is not the first time Moore was canned from a police job. He was employed with the Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office but was fired from there before working at the England Police Department. Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley told THV11 that Moore was fired “because he couldn't get along with other officers and other agencies” not for a race issue. Bunch and Scribner both feel Powell should be held accountable for allowing Moore to work despite the video. "Personally, I feel like the chief should be held accountable as well for allowing him to even continue to work as long as he's worked after showing of the video,” Bunch said. Do You Feel Like You Don’t Belong Here? 4 Reasons Why It May Be a Good Thing. Do you feel like you don’t belong here, in this world and society? You will be surprised to know that it may actually be a good thing. We grow up believing that in order to be happy, we need to belong somewhere – a society, a country, a social circle, and finally, a family. The desire to be a part of something bigger than ourselves seems to be our innate need , which probably has evolutionary roots (remember the well-known notion that human is a social animal ?). As Wikipedia states, “belongingness is the human emotional need to be an accepted member of a group.” But what happens in the case of people who don’t only lack this need but also feel that they don’t really fit in this world? Some individuals don’t simply consider themselves different from the rest – they actually have different tastes, ways of thinking, and priorities in life. They don’t like popular things and activities and don’t go after the goals most people pursue. They may seem a sort of weirdos to those around them, but the truth is that there is a bright side of being a “misfit.” Today, we will discuss four categories of people who are very likely to have a sense of detachment from the world because of their emotional and mental makeup. Moreover, it’s not a bad thing at all and is, in fact, an indication of increased awareness and sensitivity. 1. Deep thinkers. Sadly, the society we live in is giving more and more importance to primitive instincts and material needs. So it makes sense why individuals capable of deep thought may feel like they don’t belong here. If you are a deep thinker, then you probably know what truly matters in life. That’s why seeing people around you chasing ephemeral goals and being interested in meaningless stuff is so disappointing. It’s not only disappointing – sometimes, it makes you wonder what you are doing here, among these people, and feel like you come from another world. 2. Old souls. Old souls often feel like they don’t belong here, especially when growing up. Being passionate about unpopular things may make others pick up on your differences and tease you for it. And this can be painful in your awkward childhood and teenage years, making you feel like a misfit who doesn’t have a place in this world. In your adult years, this gap separating you from other people only becomes bigger. However, you find your path in life and don’t care the same about what they think about you. 3. Empaths. Empaths are so sensitive to the emotions and energy of other people that they may find it uncomfortable to be around them. If you are an empath, you know that every time you watch a news broadcast or learn something sad about someone you know, you get truly upset. All these side effects of being an empath can also provoke a sense of detachment. And it’s no surprise – there is so much greed, cruelty, and violence in today’s world that an empath may suffer, being a part of it. 4. People who experience a spiritual awakening. A spiritual awakening is a great experience that elevates you to a higher level of consciousness and turns you into a spiritually evolved being. However, it is also paired with painful feelings and experiences because fundamental changes are never easy. Not only do you start to wonder about the existence, reconsidering your life decisions and relationships, but you may also feel detached from those around you and the world in general . It’s all because you are becoming more aware and understand things you previously turned a blind eye to. If you feel like you don’t belong here, remember that there is nothing wrong with you. Instead of worrying about what others think and seeking their approval, try to find your passion and life purpose . And it’s fine if it doesn’t seem attractive or “cool” to most people. The point is that it should fill your life with meaning and happiness. Did any of the above-described things ring true for you? We would love to hear your thoughts on this.
