[loisestrad]

A key moment in his career, imo.

I don't get the keys thing

 

[Marko Polo]

Thought it was somewhere in China

When I was a little kid I thought getting honored with the key to the city was receiving a master key that would unlock all the locks and doors within city limits.
It seemed like a weird reward to me.

 

[HoiceNJuicy]

Brings me back to lyrics from a classic song:

Well, you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don't look back, and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh, yeah
Well, you dance when you walk
So let's dance, take a chance, understand me
You're dirty, sweet, and you're my girl


Get it on, Wollongong, Get it on!

In 1980, Saddam Hussein was presented with the key to the city of Detroit by Mayor Coleman Young.

So there's that.

Let's keep an eye on this guy. In case Wollongong needs some Democracy in the future.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Should have happened much sooner imo. Get it together, Wollongong.

 

[DougieJones]

Next will be the key to the county of Bibbledeebook

It's a new mayor that gave him the key, the old mayor hated MMA apparently.

Volk can now go all Jill Valentine on the city

Fiest thing he should do with those keys is go to the old mayor's house drag him outside and whoop his ass.


And as he lays there beaten...

"You were right"

When I was little I thought this was a life goal. Like you would be able to do anything you wanted (whatever that was supposed to mean) all over town and you got free meals & stuffs

Ironically, my buddy Eric was elected County Sheriff of Del Norte CA (a real rural sh*thole town, despite its beautiful scenery). He presented me a "Key to the City" of Crescent City CA (the only incorporated city in the county) and I was a little proud, despite it meaning nothing to nobody

 

[Neck&Neck]

Free wombats for everybody !

 

[Dorkman]

Don't need the key to the whole city mate, just the key to your mums place will be fine.

I don't get the keys thing

I think it means he can get his hair cut for free

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Of course he should the awesome cunt, give him the key to the country as well

 

[wrb]

Not an Aussie, but what a fucking legend! It's so funny that when I first started to obsess about UFC/MMA, I did not like him because I thought he was just another Russian beating everyone (and also Max 2). His recent win is still not appreciated by the masses like it should be, but that might be because of all the money he made people lose that night. lol

Hilarious.

And should be the case.
