Yeah, they thought the continued existence of the world depended on continual human sacrifice so they were constantly killing people by flaying them alive, cutting the living hearts from chests, or other metal poo poo such as might figure in a Josh Barnett walkout song. They preferred to use non-Aztecs for this and they had to capture enough people to torture-murder 50 people on daily average (by the lowest estimates), so everybody in Central America totally hated them. This has been your UFC 188 Mexican History lesson.

They had annual wars where they forced other tribes to send troops to be killed and captured by the Aztec army to fuel their sacrifices and slave trade.

Good thing low blows aren't a foul in WMMA (I think?)

Yep, I was keeping it brief to avoid history sperging all over the active GDT.

Big John was pretty content to let them work it out on the ground there, even without much effective activity. If Tecia can get more of those takedowns she could just ride out a decision.

She might not be ready for a title shot vs Joanna Champion, but I really want Grasso in the UFC

No.

i'm doing an experiment where I'm just passively listening to the audio and ignoring the video entirely and I can already tell it's a bad fight because I haven't heard the crowd do anything in 10 minutes and I hear no urgency in Joe's voice when doing color

Also she still might win because Torres has no finishing ability whatsoever

As you can now clearly see, her only real attribute is having a lot of muscles and looking like a badass fighternot being fat.

She needs to get out of whatever lovely camp she's at and train somewhere real.

I definitely think I suffered from Stockholm syndrome because I used to think Invicta fights were a lot better than they actually were.

hahahaha Joe finally telling it like it is. has he ever said "the most boring thing to happen in MMA"? In all the years I've been watching I don't remember. He almost always tries to defend it as being a battle fans won't like/isn't the most exciting/etc. but it's still a war going on!

The arena was going to sellout with just Cain vs Werdum, the rest wasn't necessary. And as far as PPV goes, it's mostly the same but they put a few more decent fights on it with Jillbear vs Eddie and Nate Marquardt vs Kelvin. For FOX they only need to promote some TUF fights and future contenders, in walks Cejudo and Escudero.

So too long didn't read they have no incentive to put anything decent in the first 2 slots of the PPV. At this rate though they would have been better off just showing highlights from Werdum and Cain's career and talk up the main event for 15 minutes.
