MMMDMMJ would be insane if he was half as juiced as Serra is.

If Cejudo wins impressively/finishes will he get the next title shot? I can see them booking a rematch with Dodgson or a fight with Formiga but they didn't exactly set the world alight with their last fights.

Don't forget that Pendred's last fight before this one was a total mess where he decisively lost every round but at the same time did exactly the most minimal, dogshit performance to convince a judge that he actually won each round, leading to a decision victory that baffled everyone who actually watched it

Yeah, he sucks and all of his fights have been loving terrible to watch.

This is what people said days before Horiguchi was announced :smith:

It's what Horiguichi said after winning the fight before DJ.

The Aztecs were so harsh that when the Spanish came the subjugated tribes were flocking to them in order to overthrow the Aztecs. But it was a "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't" situation

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.

Somebody on this forum was talking up Tecia Torres at some point and I am not very happy with whoever that person is.

Bean Fried put a little siren in his big event list to signify that this fight would be cool and good. Look at how wrong he is.

Are there any examples of where the guys are getting patted down pre-fight and they find something? I've never seen it but i don't exactly watch a lot.

Rosa is fading, that shot was pathetic

e: why does Rodriguez keep refusing the top position? He's had so many opportunities to get on top and just stood it back up, but he doesn't seem totally dominant on the feet, either

He is totally dominant on the feet, at least so far.

It's going to be funny if Conor comes into that fight with the same disregard to leg kicks as he did against Siver. Hopefully he won't because I'd like that fight to be good and cool so there can be a rematch and they can both make loads more cash.

Hahaha gently caress, that's awful when you think about it.

He's loving spastic for not training for that altitude though.

I don't remember if it was in an Embedded episode or something else but his coach begged him to go to Mexico early to get used to it and Cain compromised by going there 2 weeks before the fight. Listen to your coach.
