she's down with the rapist



It looks like she's had that tattoo covered up and was cornered by Almeida and Mark Henry in her last fight so better late than never in terms of leaving Lloyd Irvin I guess

You probably shouldn't be allowed to keep cutting weight if you're drained to the point where putting your sports bra and panties back on and then standing still is too hard for you.

Of course, that'd also mean going up to Cyborgweight where you fight Cyborg and then get cut and no longer have any semblance of a career so I guess there's no good solution here.

For what it's worth she was interviewed shortly after the weigh in and said she was feeling better and would be fine tomorrow, although she wouldn't likely admit that she was in bad shape a day before a fight anyway. She's pretty buff and has always struggled to make this weight. I think she's in a weird spot where she's too big for 135 but too small for 145, but has to persist with cutting to bantamweight because there's just nothing there at featherweight.

Is there anything that this man will not say? I watched the post fight presser and he actually swored on his daughter’s life that he was disappointed at how the event ended.

I sure hope that he meant all that and we don’t end up seeing a clip of the brawl being used in a promo in six months time.

Don't bet on it. A reporter asked Dana if they regretted using the bus attack to promote this fight and he said they didn't and would do it again. Somebody else pressed if the UFC held some responsibility in this for not punishing Conor for his actions at all, creating a situation where you can do whatever you want if it draws more eyes to the product. He said no, and that if they suspended Conor it wouldn't have eased the tensions between the camps at all.

I recall some guy tried the same roll and got sparked, who was that?

Jordan Mein maybe? He did a roll to dodge away from getting backed into the cage against Thiago Alves and then got TKO'd with a body kick like 20 seconds later.

From a sporting standpoint there's really no reason to give Conor a rematch, it was a comprehensive victory for Khabib. It's not like the Diaz fight where you've got stuff like it was short notice, at welterweight, Conor was winning until he got tired, etc. "He did a flying WWE stomp to one of my friends after dominating and submitting me" isn't really the same. But then you're in the situation where it costs so much money to get Conor to fight that every time he does it has to be a blockbuster title fight PPV main event to make it worth the investment. So you can't go and do Conor vs. Beneil Dariush at UFC Fight Night: Gdansk or something.

also wasn't Val/Some TUF Girl going to headline 230?

It's signed for the event but they've probably been listening to the groaning about how that's not a great headliner so they're still looking for something else, even though they've got the World Superfighter Division Championship fight sitting right there

I mean Lewis isn't being given much of a chance, and rightly so, to win the heavyweight title but the guy is 9-1 over the past 3 years and Stipe just got knocked out.

Al outboxed Lee pretty badly in their first fight and dropped him a few times in the first round. That was four years ago though and Lee's fought a lot and improved since then.

I’ve mentioned it before but one of my favorite Rogan weirdness bits was when a referee actually deducted a point for an eye poke on some fight pass thing and Joe went nuts and was talking about it not being fair because it was an accident and such. One of those times where he demands that Marc Ratner come on and agree with him about a ruling. Then in the very next fight a guy suffers an eye poke and Joe remarks that eye poking is a huge problem in the sport and you don’t really know how to stop it.
