Wow these must be the smallest bantamweights ever if Leslie Smith towers over them like that. Tweet vs Anderson - that's a good fight. An Australian vs a fighter from Saskatchewan, which is Canada's Australia. CommonShore fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Nov 19, 2016 |

This is the first time I've really heard Leslie Smith talk outside of her yelling obscenities at judges and referees and wow, they all really do talk like that at Cesar Gracie, huh.

Congrats to Charmaine Tweet on splitting from her husband, commiserations to her for getting sparked out by Megan Anderson.

Amber Brown had a lot of heart, but Ashley Yoder had a sick armbar

If Angela hill retains here she probably needs like one more defense to punch her ticket back to the UFC. She seems to have really improved her game in Invicta. And going on to a possible 10 fight win streak it's ridiculous that Evinger hasn't been given a shot in the UFC.

I almost posted something like that two weeks ago but then I noticed that Evinger lost to Raquel Pennington on TUF. My sense is that Evinger is probably waiting until she's given a title shot in the UFC, and is content to get paid to crush cans until then.

I'm pretty sure Evinger and the Fertittas or Joe Shelby or someone loving hate each other, but I'm sure if Evinger really wanted into the UFC, she could probably get there. I think she's said she'd rather not make the move.

There's also some bad blood between her and Sean Shelby apparently.

If Ronda had kept winning she probably would have, but with the belt going through four pairs of hands in less than a year the division is kind of in flux.

Angie Hill is actually a tough style matchup for JJ, though I don't think that she'd have a good chance at beating anyone else in the top 5 of the division, and there's no way she'd get past Gadelha or JAG.

Training around Dominick Cruz has helped Hill out quite a bit. She seems to be using feints and evasiveness in the style he does.

The need to give JJ a credible challenge is so great that I think they can give Hill 1 or 2 cans then feed her to the champion. We don't really need a gatekeeper for SW.

She's even using the Cruz tactic of throwing back a combo of 3 or 4 strikes if it appears she's been tagged.

I'm a bit underwhelmed by both Hill and this fight. She's edging out rounds against what is essentially a Brazilian Create-A-Fighter.

Offensively Hill seems a bit more tentative than she has in her past few fights.

Angela Hill is where she belongs - in Invicta, and not the UFC

I love Tonya's mug shot for the tale of the tape: "Hey Tonya, I'm just going to give you a bit of eye shadow here so that..." "So that I can feed it to you?" "Never mind, Tonya. You look great!" (it often looks weird to me when the female fighters have eyeliner and makeup and stuff for their mug shots. It works for some but not for others.)

The ref had been warning Meideros against face-standing, too.

Le Saboteur posted:There's also some bad blood between her and Sean Shelby apparently. Evinger did an interview where she said that Sean Shelby told her she sucked after her really bad performance on TUF so she preferred to stay in Invicta and beat potential UFC prospects (like Irene Aldana, who is going to fight in the UFC regardless). The question of her moving to the UFC seems to have been taken care of by this random Russian woman though

The Internet told me she is and I'm going not let some strangers on the Internet tell me otherwise! But tbh I can see the argument either way. Not going to blame the ref for calling that a stomp, though, with the way she shifts her weight.

Putting your foot on someone and shifting your weight isn't a stomp, otherwise a whole bunch of common poo poo would b illegal.
