I guess it makes sense, though. He looks an awful lot like the third Nogueira twin.

I don't know all that much about Holly Holm to be honest, but everything I've read about her and her interviews make me like her. I'll be rooting for her to turn into a relevant contender.

His shoulder is really borked from the last I heard, and the person even said he would be surprised if he ever competed again :(

Although TKZ did call someone out kind of recently after a big win, so maybe that journalist is misinformed.

I am with you. I like the humility. If she was too eager it would mean either she was a secret super beast or more likely underestimating Ronda. She seems to be ready to be patient and earn it.

quote:

This February in Venice, California, it was still chilly when Rousey woke up, at four-fifteen, and made herself some eggs: spinach, turkey bacon, lots of pink Himalayan salt. She lives in a comfortably unkempt house, not far from the boardwalk, that she shares with three other female fighters—they call themselves the Four Horsewomen, in tribute to an old professional wrestling team—and a ninety-pound Argentinian hunting dog named Mochi. Her roommates were still asleep when she left to begin her daily commute: thirty miles across Los Angeles to the Glendale Fighting Club, a one-story anomaly on South Brand Boulevard, which is otherwise lined with luxury-car dealerships. She had to be there early for a series of live interviews with KTLA, which was interrupting its morning show to give viewers a preview of Rousey’s upcoming fight, her ninth, against a talented but relatively unknown wrestler named Sara McMann.

I guess the UFC paying for her apartment across from the Glendale Fight Club isn't a thing anymore

quote:

During her judo years, Rousey kept a blog, now deleted, which provided a vivid chronicle of her single-minded life. “I can’t describe the way losing hurts,” she wrote, after an overtime defeat in the final round of a prestigious tournament in Tokyo. “The whole time I’m crying the salt from it stings every bit of matburn on my face and I just wanna curl up and disappear.”

Skimming it yields not much that's more embarrassing than anything on TUF, but it's still a fun read.

The striking exchange would be fun but I think Zombie would submit the crap out of him.

Also, I expect the UFC to not rush Connor too much, he's very valuable if he maintains his winning streak.

I'd never count Brown entirely out of a fight, but he gets badly hurt in nearly every match he's in, and as I believe duncan opined, Lawler is genetically programmed to murder anyone who's hurt underneath him

Stun-gun is going to wreck Woodley right? Am I missing something here?

Woodley might be able to punch him and get a fast stoppage.

If he gasses at all though, Dong is gonna kill him.

Now that I have this dating robot I can take it easy.
While new stun gun unquestionably owns, he is incredibly easy to hit and with Woodleys power that could lead to a funny KO real fast.

It is kind of weird to me that someone who is easily making six (probably seven) figures still chooses to live in an apartment with three of her gal pals that requires her to commute 60 miles through LA every day.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
I expect Kim to win cause he's a bigger better grappler than Woodley. I'll give Woodley that he's powerful and reasonably durable but so is Kim so I dunno how important those two will be for Woodley before Kim takes him down.

This post made me curious to look up the odds for some upcoming matches and of note: Jon Jones is the smallest favorite he's been since the Shogun match and the line on Demetrious Johnson vs Chris Cariaso owns. Daniel Cormier vs Patrick Cummins had more favorable odds for the underdog, I think.

If you ever lived in Venice or Santa Monica you would not want to live in any other part of LA, especially not the shithole where their gym is.

She's not married/have a family or whatever and she is probably away training/fighting/filming movies a lot of the time. Why blow all that money on a sweet pad you wont even be able to really enjoy? That's my thinking at least.

I dunno but the current reasoning in Vegas is people were more willing to place money on a Starbucks barista with 4 pro fights making his UFC debut on incredibly short notice than putting their money on a guy who has tons of UFC/WEC fights and overall a decent record. It owns.
