I was happy about this for about a second before I realized they'll probably get Schiavello to replace him.

They got Bas last time.

Is Marina Shafir still happily submitting amateurs?

Holly Holm kicked another lady in the head

18MB gif ahoy

Apparently there's some discussion of doing a stand-alone Holm vs Cyborg PPV, but that seems kinda farfetched to me.

And apparently broke her arm in the process, so any Cyborg fight might have to wait a while.

I could have met Ricci at my gym one time but I didn't know about it because I had closed my facebook account

Well maybe you should go to the gym instead of being on the internet :shrug:

So apparently Gabi Garcia is going to MMA. ...debuting against a 42 year old Japanese bantamweight.

Somehow I don't see that ending well.

Dandois looks like the least athletic fighter on this card by far, how did she become a fighter?

She did judo and then some fighting and then quit until Miesha brought her in to prepare for Ronda.

"I don't think cutting to atomweight was a good move for Tiburcio," says Julie Kedzie, shortly before her handpicked challenger (the first in three events that isn't a little Japanese grandma) shitcans the champion despite having slightly less MMA experience than my cat

Your cat has more than 11 pro fights?

Also, when I noticed Kedzie she was talking about how Tiburcio looked stronger at atomweight.

Eating pig slop during formative years or taking a technical submission (umbilical choke) upon birth - which is more damaging for a fighter's cognitive abilities?

Ronda doesn't seem that bad off.

Dude, steroids don't make you literally get taller and grow a broader collarbone.

She's 173 cm tall, which, while tall-ish, is below average for the sport she started in (handball) and on par with several 135-pounders. She isn't that huge if you take away the muscle.

And yea, she's been bulking up the past couple of years after declining the first offer of a UFC contract because reasons. :ortiz:

Neither Bantamweight made weight for the Invicta 14 main event title fight although Evinger was only 0.2 lbs over 135. Pannie came in at 136.7 or something.

Evinger almost lost her belt too but managed to cut down. Apparently a bunch of fighters missed weight, was there something wrong with the scale they used to test their cuts?

Whatever. If my choice is seeing cool fighters get fights in invicta or seeing them stay in limbo and not get fights while signed to the UFC, I'll take seeing the cool fighters.

Yes but that's not your choice here; it's seeing cool fighters get thrown to the wolves in the UFC, get cut and then go beat up people in Invicta and bad fighters keep their UFC contract while getting beat up in Invicta and probably making more money.

Joachim Hansen has been hospitalised and people are talking about it like it's a drug overdose

Only source I've seen is Norwegian, and the use of the word 'Rehabilitation' may just be a poor choice of words. Could mean he just needs some time to recover from whatever it is.
Either way, I hope he recovers!

Offensively Hill seems a bit more tentative than she has in her past few fights.

Looked like she burnt herself out on the triangle attempt in the first, she seemed a lot less bouncy after the fight went back to the feet.

That's how she felt herself also, apparently:

And while there were some really strange calls from the refs, yelling at Evinger may not have been one of them:

fatherdog posted:

lol, win so unexpected they didn't bother to have a Russian translator on-hand

Well, she knew a little English at least, so they didn't skip over her entirely like they did when Tiburcio beat Waterson.

She's stomping.

The Internet told me she is and I'm going not let some strangers on the Internet tell me otherwise!

But tbh I can see the argument either way. Not going to blame the ref for calling that a stomp, though, with the way she shifts her weight.

And he's a tattooed Germanic Euro fighter who I"m preeeety sure isn't a neo Nazi, a rare and fine combination.

I seem to recall that a no-longer-posting goon (Dante?) who grew up as a second-generation immigrant in Oslo claimed he was affiliated with some white supremacy people in his teens but distanced himself from them since.

Either way, I still hope he'll be fine.

you don't need to be under the chin to submit someone but you do if you want to choke them as far as i know. the color change was probably due to the immense pressure on his face and the fact that sonnen changes color very easily.

fatherdog would know so I'm just gonna quote him:

Her neck was being cranked past the point it's supposed to go.

EDIT: Also, you can actually put somebody unconscious with a facelock, aka "RNC on the jaw" - it compresses the jaw against the nerve that runs behind it, and can cause people to pass out.

I presume you can back this up with stats? And even if he has he's also had more idiots baiting him than fatherdog did so it's a faulty comparison.
