That was my reaction too. I can't remember why she's terrible but I do remember enjoying a couple of her losses, particularly the one to Shevchenko

As a person has been covered but as a fighter she kind of poses some mild question for Nunes, she's dumb and tough which is always a good combination when fighting a poo poo wrecking striker and she does to her credit have an excellent gas tank and no quit. She might be able to make it a fight if she can avoid getting her head punched into the 2nd tier on her clinch entries but if I was a betting man I'd bet everything I have on Nunes punching her stupid into an early finish.

Surely if he loses they'll immediately book the Nate trilogy fight?

You would think so, it would break all kinds of records.

Yeah, every now and then someone misses the Joe Silva days, when it has been revealed he was shittier on the fighters than Dana, he just kept out of the public eye.

Dana willing acts as the lightning rod for everything good and bad. Apparently fans are dumb enough to send death threats to people who fill in for him every now and then at weigh ins and stuff.

Not defending him but he's not 100% responsible for everything good or bad with the ufc he's just happy for everyone to think he is.

Herb copped a lot of criticism for late stoppages, probably shouldn't have stopped the paint can fight when he did now.

The conor grabbing the gloves thing I can kind of forgive a little because he probably would give him a warning between rounds.

If you're watching to see if hes staying concious while being blasted with elbows you're probably not paying 100% attention to glove grab.

Conor is still and has always been a world class fighter, it's just that Khabib is legitimately a once in a generation talent and Porier is probably the best 155 lb fighter in the world right now.

His losses of note are to Nate Diaz, Dustin Porier and Khabib. That's not always bad territory, not even close.

I also found this still which I feel contains a Conor joke, with the "Gorilla Chest" and "Irish Setter," but I can't locate it.



Some men fight for sport
Others fight for food

The only thing I'm fighting for
Is to pay my lawyers good

See my chest, see my chest
tatts of crowned gorillas are the best

Hear this trash talk, there's no better
Than authentic Irish banter

See my leg, it was shattered
Now my career is in tatters

Cry against the cage
opponents wife will hear my rage

MMA fans they all titter
while my agent locks my twitter

See my chest, see my chest
tatts of crowned gorillas are the best

Aljo being tired and stalling is definitely true. Yan being a really dumb man is also true. I don't think it needs a rule over haul to figure out a solution to it.

IIRC someone posted - somewhere that Yan's corner yelled "hit him, hit him" or "you can hit" and Yan threw the knee but obviously they meant punches.
