Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.

I'm wondering if there is a different cut for the Euro markets or if the UFC is just sandbagging her for no reason.

OR MAYBE there is no conspiracy at play here and she is being herself.

I like Joanna Champion BECAUSE she's a weird goblin lady who kicks rear end and has awkward interactions

We're all doomed
What happens if Gadelha's team wins every fight, do some of them have to train with Joanna instead? Does Joanna just hang out until it's over?

Joanna appears cool in all her interviews and stuff but I couldn't be bothered watching tuf. It is in a reality show's benefit to have a hero and villain to give the fight more hype. What is she doing that makes her so horrible?

Who do you think knows more about a person's flexibility and pain tolerance, the subber or the subbee? In fact, what sort of a lovely person lets a partner go through the guilt of injuring someone in training?

Depends on the submission and the experience level. But neck cranks can cause a lot of damage and you should alway err on the side of caution. I'm not saying she is not a lovely person, don't want to be accused of being an Angela Magana apologizer.

No.

His thing about Faber not wanting to fight TJ is a bit tiresome as Faber was never offered a shot at TJ post TAM so he's never dodged the TJ fight post TAM.

It's less Bisping's ability to deliver a good burn and more that Rockhold is bad at trash talk and somehow less likable than Bisping

Catty is the perfect word for him. I also love that he has a history against an entire team as opposed to one guy.

e: His point that he was gone for four years and Faber didn't take the title and he took it right back is the best one he made imo.

It was very dumb but it also made Cruz start taking shots at Faber that he's generally above. Like making fun of a guys reach who you have like an inch and a half on is pretty silly.

the greatest thing to me is Urijah implied Cruz wasn't a good fight analyst and then while answering another question Cruz broke down Urijah's style ("never throws combos, only throws the overhand right, conserves his energy except for those overhand rights, looking for the same two submissions" etc.) and Urijah didn't dispute it at all.
