The entire first fight is up on YT by the way.

That punch TJ lands at 1:03 of the first is just :stare:. When they show the replay it actually looks like Barao was out for a sec.

Also really want Eye to win because I'm tired of Tate and don't want Tate/Rousey 3 to happen.
The second fight had lots of cool throws at least.



Though Tate might avoid tying up with Ronda more in a third fight since pretty much every time she tried it in this one she got mercilessly countered (though she did land one takedown which is better than most can say).

"It's so great seeing the kind of talent we have in women's MMA right now", as the camera cuts to Jessamyn Duke.

I still have no loving clue what Catch Wrestling is and how is it different than regular wrestling for MMA?

It's closer to BJJ really since it's focused on submissions, it just originated in the west rather than BJJ which originated from Japanese martial arts. I would say the main differences between catch and BJJ is that BJJ is more focused on positional orthodoxy whereas catch wrestling is more focused on submissions, including more leg locks and stuff from weird positions.

I just realized this is even funnier since Phillips is being corned by Pena, who smoked Shayna Baszler on TUF and made Ronda go full psycho. Four horsewomen :patriot:

don't agree with that decision

I mean if you score based on close submission attempts then both the D'arce in R2 and kneebar in R3 were closer to finishing than anything Nijem did. But Nijem pretty clearly controlled the majority of the action in R1 and R3.

pretty much exactly what I was worried about when the fight was first announced :sigh:

Almeida is cool but has looked extremely hittable in the few fights I've seen. I think TJ would tee off on him. Really I just hope Cruz can get healthy.

Someone made an extended highlight as well. So much goofy poo poo in that fight, like Felder actually throws a hockey hip-check at him right at the end.
