@George Owen I have taken a look at the photo shoot yeah, blonde girls are always nice. Some people get angry at her because of Reebook sponsorship and all that stuff but she is a damn good fighter too!

Not sure if she's championship material but fair to say she earned everything she has.

Yes, she is tough as nails. Good fighter enough to be a marketable gatekeeper, and if she keeps improving, might fight for the title one day.
 
By the way guys, if you could choose to go to a non-UFC event, is Bellator pretty much the only choice or are there another promotions who put in a good show ?

Combate Americas is pretty good.

ps. Loureda's kicks were vicious, but Hooters girl was super tough.

Valerie looks so adorable in her Taekwondo outfit.haha
 
Ufff Im glad Horiguchi won the decision. Wtf is wrong with Caldwell, did nothing for 10 minutes. Nevermind the ref, letting that shit going on for ever.

ps. Kyoji Horiguchi now Bantamweight Bellator/Rizin champion.

Book him vs Cejudo now!!

Crazy how many times Pico has been KO'd in his career already.

They try and give him easier fights which he refuses apparently. It's admirable but also ridiculously stupid and damaging his career reputation but also the longevity. I think he needs a year or so off and a couple of tune up fights after get the buzz back cos it's massively faded.

I think a fighter should never turn down fights. His management is to blame

I respect him for being candid about what he did. We're all humans, and have weaknesses. Hearing him say he has a degree of self-loathing makes me feel for him. Really hope he comes back to be a contender again. Good luck go him.

Yeah, I find TJ much more likeable than Cejudo, so I hope he comes back and retakes his belt.
 
He's probably lying there though. It seems odd Garbrandt was saying about the EPO stuff before they fought yet TJ is saying he only did it for Cejudo? He's probably trying to redeem himself somewhat by owning up to some of it yet still seems to lie doing that.
 
Good fight and victory from Brendan. His opponent was pretty good, and tough as heck.

Brendan was looking for the finish, but had to settle with the 30-27 decision. Hopefully it's enough for Dana to sign him, but he wasn't that impressed.
 
Nope, Dana is a ruthless cnut. He said: "Brendan did great, but you don't fecking go for a double leg in a fight like that. Maybe one day he will be on the UFC, not tonight."

I think Thiago Santos will defeat Jones. It's the first time I feel like he's in real danger of losing his belt. Even against Cormier I was more confident somehow.

Hope I'm wrong as I still like the guy despite all the shenanigans.

He has such an odd logic on that show. Brendan was the most well rounded fighter on there tonight but the show has flashy KOs and doesn't really think of long term benefit to the UFC. The only consolation is Lingard and Rashfords cringing video (in a long line of painful videos of them 2) is for nothing

What makes you think this? Just a gut feeling? I can't see how Santos beats him apart from a lucky shot.

Dunno, just his last few fights I guess. This guy is an animal. He swarms his opponents when he connects a good one and I think he's going to catch Jones at some point.

Look at his fight against Manuwa, this guy isn't afraid to trade and has some serious power.

Can't believe so much disrespect.

The man has fought only top tier fighters, the best of the best UFC has to offer. Haven't being finished since march 2014, so basically unbeaten for the last 5 years.

Choo Choo Motherfeckers!!

Kids just don't get it. 28 guys have tried and only 15 survived. That's GOAT standards right there.

Those 15 were lucky he spared them.
