People's Main Event

A fight on a fight card that garners significant attention from the general fight community because its back story imbues it with a value that generally overshadows the co-main and main event. This fight is usually slotted away from the co-main and main event slots but does not necessarily mean it is not the co-main or main event. It is the fight people want to see regardless of what else is on the card.

This phrase originates from The MMA Hour, first coined by journalist Ariel Helwani

Ariel Helwani: "Volkanovski vs Ortega is going to be insane, but let's be honest, the Nick Diaz vs. Robby Lawler rematch is the People's Main Event"

people's republic of berkeley

(noun) nickname for the city of Berkeley, California, known not only for its well-known public University with a tradition of free speech, but for its reputation as a liberal/progressive community and a tradition (dating back to the Vietnam War) of the city government taking positions and passing resolutions on foreign policy issues (despite it having no influence or authority in this arena).

A: Why is the City Council debating the use of Predator drones in Pakistan? Aren't there potholes that need filling and budgets to balance?
B: Welcome to the People's Republic of Berkeley.

The People's Republic of Johnson County

A nickname for Iowa City, Iowa. Used derisively by some and proudly by others, the nickname refers to the liberal political philosophy of Johnson County, especially in contrast to the surrounding counties and state. Johnson County elects Democratic and/or Liberal candidates in rates uncharacteristic of the state of Iowa. The creation of this liberal enclave probably came about because of the University of Iowa.

As many students of the University will agree, the liberal nature of the area is also probably accounted for by the large number of Chicago area natives who have moved to the area. Many Iowans living in Johnson County and/or attending the university keep their conservative views.

This nickname is thought to be derived from the writings of a conservative reporter in Des Moines, Iowa.

The political views expressed in the People's Republic of Johnson County are typical of the kind expressed in scholarly, educated areas. The reason it is noteworthy in Iowa City is because the surrounding area is very conservative and rural.
