I may be mixing it up with someone else but is that the one where she's going to a bunch of "alternate" healing places with like crystals and poo poo like that? I kinda vaguely remember something along those lines.

I don't remember the specifics of how she claimed she recovered, but she talked about how she felt herself get brain damage against Nunes to the point that it affected her motor and/or cognitive abilities. She seemed to think she had found the right place to recover, but it really sounded like the kind of talk that should've gotten her a "please retire" speech.

Seems like Josh Emmett might be a good bet tonight as an underdog. True?

She found a place that claimed to do some active magnetic resonance therapy on the brain. It sounded very snake oil, but one of the founders/ owners is a professor of neuroscience at a real university.
It seemed at the very least a place that I couldn’t blame an indiscriminate fighter for trusting.

Yes, in that it's a tough fight to pick. Emmett is a good fighter, and I think that there was some mid-level ref incompetence in his loss to Stephens (there was a low blow or an eye poke or something that didn't get called leading into the finish).

I picked Burgos because I think that Burgos is at least as good as Emmett, and that his striking game is sophisticated enough not to get clipped by big hooks, so he gets by on the "styles make fights" tiebreaker. Ring rust also figures in that prediction, but for all we know Powder could be coming back with a shitload of new tricks in his kit to surprise us.

It's amazing how a man so good inside the octagon can be so spectacularly bad at literally everything outside of it lol

I understand it's the Spanish word for black which makes total sense in context, but I still find it disgusting.

What do you want them to do, come up for a new word for Black in a foreign language? It's not the name of the jeanes like he's saying, it's just the color written in 2 different languages.

So...what's going on with this weekend's card?

UFC's website lists 5 matches in the main event but one of them is Aspen Ladd vs Sara McMann, and we know Ladd's injured, it is also showing Heinisch vs Allen but I believe Heinisch is also injured. The others are Porier vs Hooker, Perry vs Gall and Villante vs Greene.

For the prelims, I'm seeing Luis Pena vs Khama Worthy (Expecting Pena to lose spectacularly), Philipe Lins vs Tanner Boser (2 sloppy heavyweights, might be fun) and Sean Woodson vs Kyle Nelson, I don't know who Nelson is at all but Sean Woodson is that dude with long legs who fought Kyle Bochniak recently, he's fun to watch.

For the early prelims it's just blank.

Is this card gonna get cancelled or are we just gonna get a bunch of regional fighters again?

If you haven't seen it and have fightpass btw (Should be on ESPN+ too), go watch Woodson vs Bochniak:

they did add former Invicta atomweight champ Jinh Yu Frey vs 20 year old Kay Hansen (both have had basically 90% of their fights in Invicta) for a strawweight bout that could be interesting

Kay Hansen is the female Bryce Mitchell.


She also had one of the funniest finishes I've ever seen wherein her opponent ragdolled her for 13 minutes and then suplexes her right into an armbar

Yay! I love having a clear person to root against in the fights where I don't recognize anyone.

The sad thing is, this might be my most anticipated fight on the card now and it's because some nobody angered my brain. I'm afraid they'll figure it out and pay no name athletes to be sacrificed to my anger. I'll pay all the money to see anyone like that beat upon.

Edit - beat upon sounds really bad and now I feel bad.

I remember Jinh Yu Frey from this cool KO from one of her non-Invicta fights, the way she walks away is funny.
