invicta really needs to hire some production people because they've got some real recurring problems

Oh hey fights.

This dude has no direct relation (familial or gym) to do bronx, right?

Correct. Charles does have a brother, and he is much more wonderfully named Hermiston.

Nunes technique seems really sloppy but maybe it's just forced to be that way due to the height difference

Nunes winging the poo poo out of her punches is pretty normal, but it works, so hey

It actually was a good fight, which is what makes it even more baffling. I'm glad that one was as close as I thought it was going to be in my dumb brain.

probably just striking me so funny because im over-focused on trying to understand it, seeing how much from highschool stuck, so a whole rear end english phrase wedged in the middle of an otherwise french sentence just struck me off guard

also its reassuring to know that everyone everywhere makes the same "ooooooooohhh" sound when they see someone get whomped, when the first two cavemen started cracking each others jaws there was a third guy going "ooooooohh"

There is an instinctual and universal language for "wow, that looks like it sucked"

paul craig, maybe instead of trying to fix your striking you should just get better at wrestling so you don't have to deal with people hitting you

Jessica Andrade came back to strawweight, won, had a clear claim to contendership, went up to flyweight instead, won, and used her top flyweight contendership victory to call for a strawweight title shot.

I love women's MMA, but I fuckin' hate it.

I would like to see Neil Magny fight, like, Li Jingliang or Rinat Fakhretdinov or Philip Rowe or something next. It's time to test prospects, not contenders.

Rooting for Jamahal Hill just because of this walk-out music

I felt this way until I realized it was a cheap audience hype remix that removes everything but the drum hit and chorus, and now it can go to hell.

wait why is the #7 contender up for the belt?

#1's out indefinitely, #3 and #4 just fought to a draw for the vacant belt, #5's leg exploded

#6 anthony smith and #7 hill were supposed to fight each other but #6 got his teeth literally punched out by glover already

Hill simultaneously is doing great, is in control, and looks like he wants to die.

Goddamn how hard do people like Rumble have to punch to knock out that stone golem.

You truly, genuinely cannot overstate how incredibly freaky Rumble's power was. There are good strikers, and there are hard punchers, and then there's a category that's just Rumble and Melvin Manhoef.
