Saaiman looks really good, shame he's such a foul machine.

ref's discretion, but generally no

My main memory for this is always the Jamie Varner/Kamal Shalorus fight back in the WEC where Shalorus kicked him in the dick, got a warning, kicked him in the dick again, got a point taken away, and then kicked him in the dick yet again and, inexplicably, went back to just getting a warning

Once your meter foul meter fills up, it resets and you can get a few more in before you have to worry about it again.

Joe Rogan saying they are short on time so the interview has to be short because Saaiman fouled so much. lmao

Such a technical fighter! Not a dirty fighter! Sure, he can't spend 5 minutes in the cage without horrendously fouling his opponent, but he looks great!

If Herb is taking one point for two nut kicks and an eye poke tonight that bodes pretty well for Jones

Based on the commentary of Ian Garry being "more thoughtful" with pauses before responding to interview questions, I can only assume he has said some real ignorant poo poo.

He's got a ton of potential, but he's also a real slow starter and he sometimes forgets his defense, so I hope he shores those things up by the time he gets to the rankings and has to fight, like, wrestlers.

Oh the quality will be insane quickly. The next generation starting to come through are amazing but it's so top heavy for now. I'm looking forward to Shevchenko tonight.


Also I forgot all about Cody Garbrandt is fighting tonight and he's been given a gimme fight so I fully expect to see him knocked the gently caress out.

There's really only been like two generations of women's MMA fighters, is the thing. You can't even really count the pioneers as a full generation because there was so goddamn few of them, and the real first generation of folks who were fighting in the mid-2000s are only now really starting to retire en masse. Jessica Penne was fighting on HookNShoot cards in like 2006 and she just fuckin' fought.

We're only one generation removed from when the competition was thin and untrained enough that you could be a one-art specialist and still make it to the top.
