hallman has basically done nothing but lie down and get his rear end kicked and turn purple. it's sad.

He's landing some decent strikes on the ground though. Doesn't look like this is a whole lot of fun for Hallman.

Holy poo poo. I'd never heard that about Fitch having a losing record in wrestling one year. That's crazy.

His career record is 27-39

nick newell used to shop at a foot locker i managed in milford so that makes him my sexy boyfriend.

Yeah. Pretty much. It's weird to feel a little bad for a guy after he dominates a fight and holds onto his belt.

I'm a little worried about this too, but he's still only got one loss on his record and it was in a championship fight.

Newell is a good fighter, it's just that he's now gotten to the point where he's fighting guys that are good fighters and also have two arms.

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

That's what I was thinking before the fight happened and Bas was going over all the advantages Gaethje has over Newell. He could have said "has more limbs" and left it at that.

I usually don't condone the current crop of Gracies winning in MMA fights, mostly because it's hilarious to see them lose (Like when Rolles Gracie got obliterated by Derrick Mehmen), but Neiman Gracie is a hero because he tapped out [http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/7/7/5876311/wsof-dustin-holyko-white-power-domestic-violence]immense shithead, criminal offender, and basically neo-nazi Dustin Holyko[/url]

You'd think an organization making its network TV debut would run a background check on guys before throwing them in the cage, but whatever, I guess?
