Agreed on all except Valentina :)

Francis will KO Pitbull

Agreed on all except Valentina :)

Is it OK if I pretend I meant only the main card? lol

[thiste]

Okay lol

[thiste]

To be fair seeing Arlovski's less than stellar fitness it looked like he was only there for the payday

[thiste]

I like Herb but this was a bad stoppage. This shit was over round 1.

[thiste]

BEAUTIFUL

That finish was unexpected, I don't think Pena respected Shevchenko's ground game or those sweeps, should have stopped going for the knees against the cage after the first sweep.

Good win for Shevchenko, her vs Nunes should be exciting.

[thiste]

yeah that was a textbook armbar, stupid by Pena

Valentina knows how to execute her game plan, she beat the best best boxer & grapplers in her division with their own game. She could beat Amanda in a 5 rd match since she was able to withstand the 1st rd storm in their first fight although she lost the first 2 rounds.

That's one of scariest humans I've ever seen. Right up there with Cheick Kongo .
