Polyana is a bjj talent in the shallow pool that is womens bjj but not really tbh.

Im guessing they put this here to try and get a pretty lady some marketing pop with a submission win but... eh who knows.

viana's getting pieced up by JJ on the feet and also comprehensively outwrestled by her, why is this poo poo on the main card

I think the above assertion of "getting a pretty girl a submission highlight" is correct, but they made the mistake of putting her in against a girl whose primary attribute is strength.

It looks like Aldrich is better than Viana, but not by enough of a margin to take any kind of decisive advantage or finish. She's just kinda lighting her up, pinning her to the cage when they clinch, and then surviving pretty safely whenever it is on the ground.

If you can run a lap around the octagon on the buzzer you can try going for a knockout when your opponent is wobbly with 30 seconds to go!

I hate her so much. Vince could've married some young hot gold digger, bought her everything she ever wanted, and still saved tens of millions of dollars. Instead he married an old dumb zombie woman who kicked JR in the nuts. What a bitch

When they announce gate totals they should tell us the percentage of those tickets that were comped for fighters and celebs

If you're trying to sell out an LA card "X celeb is gonna be there" is a pretty good way to do it, though I would bet Anthony Kiedis bought his own ticket.

Once again making a shout out to go watch the final fightpass prelim between Torres and Perez because it loving owned so much. It's one round if you want to go watch before the swanson fight starts.

Gus got hurt so having gustaffson and swanson as fights 2 and 3 would have made it a lot stronger imo.

Kiedis is one of those celebs who actually bought a stake in the UFC when WME offered stocks to their clients so I imagine his tickets are covered.

With that at-once bulbous and rat-like nose Moicano looks like some classic MMA figure and I can't quite put my finger on who.
