According to Dave Doyle on the tweeter, she punch-kicked Randa Markos pretty handily for the first two rounds, but nearly got caught in an armbar in the third. He hopes both can make it to the TUF 20 house.

Could Rodriguez return to MMA with Bellator next? Coker likes the idea.

Fitch failed a drug test

quote:

The California State Athletic Commission today said onetime UFC and WSOF welterweight title challenger Jon Fitch (26-7-1) was flagged for an “adverse result” following a pre-fight drug test in connection with this past December’s WSOF 16.

The CSAC, which oversaw the Dec. 13 event at McClellan Conference Center in Sacramento, Calif., performed a CIR test on Fitch’s urine sample and confirmed the result. The commission declined to name the substance for which he was flagged. However, multiple sources close to the fighter indicated the test found elevated levels of testosterone.

My cornermen took the decision to transfer me to a private wing of the hospital without waiting for a reaction of OneC who is visibly not interested in my desperate situation (Most of the ONEC crew already flew back to Singapore, there is no OneC staff anymore in Indonesia)

Well if you want to be depressed read about Monson now. He is a subject of a new book and MMAjunkie did a interview with the writer

http://mmajunkie.com/2015/11/new-book-beast-details-daniel-straus-title-struggles-jeff-monsons-detached-retina

quote:

Monson’s struggles to continue his career well into his 40s provide memorable scenes.

Merlino reveals Monson suffered a detached retina, effectively costing him vision in one eye and impacting his depth perception.

“Monson still thought there was a big win out there ahead of him,” Merlino wrote. “The next Abu Dhabi grappling championship tournament was in 2015: If he could win it a third time, that might be it. Or maybe, he thought, he could get back in the UFC. To do that, he realized, he needed to string some wins together.

“But if he couldn’t do that, then what? There was no retirement in this job. He wasn’t going to be like some of the guys now, leaving with money; he’d gotten into it too early. He’d made thirteen thousand dollars when he fought for the UFC title in 2006. Now, he was blind in one eye and could barely sit down.

“Seventeen years, almost seventy fights. He tallied it up. All the bouts, all the grappling, the seminars, the trips here and there, the interviews, the posing for pictures, the injuries: All he had was a small piece of property in Nicaragua and a 2003 Acura sedan.”

She's preparing for her debut so you'd have to assume that she's doing at least debut level stuff. She posts her striking drills on Instagram and poo poo. Who knows though, like you say. MMA is a tough game

We actually interviewed her for our magazine last year and she said that at the time UFC had approached her multiple times, but she was hesitant to commit because of her striking. She mentioned that she doesnt know "how a strike feels" and has only been sparring with headgear on.

The sad saga of Jeff Monson continues...

quote:

A little over 30 seconds into his scheduled fight against Ivan Shtyrkova in Yekaterinburg, Russia, Monson dragged the fight to the ground but was unable to move his arm because of an injury sustained a month earlier. He felt his bicep tear as he kept a hold of Shtyrkova. At that point, he decided to surrender and limit the damage to his arm.

"When they went to the ground, even though that's his speciality, he felt the muscle tear further and couldn't fight from his normally strongest position,"Monson's manager and press secretary, Marshall Comins told BloodyElbow. "At that point he decided not to go further."

Monson had originally hoped to withdraw from the scheduled fight when he got injured last month. However, it appears the promoter urged Monson to try his best to remain on the fight card.

"Jeff severely injured his bicep a month ago while training in Saint Petersburg. He talked to the promoter about bowing out of the fight, and the promoter asked Jeff to reconsider. He reluctantly agreed.

I think that maybe we jumped the gun a little bit,” Coker said. “We went and talked to Matt and said, ‘Hey, are you OK?’ and he felt that he was fine. But along with the other fighters that fight on these cards, we’re going to take them through the proper medical tests. The commission will be getting involved, and we’ll see what their position is and make a determination on what happens from here.
