Yeah, Peruvian. She trains punching and kicking trees. She’s dope. Would love to see her against Nunes again or Cyborg.She's fluent in Spanish too?
You see the clip of her and her sister beating up the forest?I fucking love Shevchenko. She’s behind only Jon Jones for p4p IMO. Thought she beat Nunes 3-2.
Hmm I’ve only heard him after these last two fights, but I like his mic work there.Cejudo is so goofy and awkward when it comes to doing interviews, TUF, and meeting whatever other promotional responsibilities he has. Comes off as a try-hard. Easy to get the impression that he really isn't that good a fighter. Not gritty or tough. But he is.
Yeah, I followed along on mmajunkie play-by-play tonight, so I didn't see that. I'm going by what I've seen in the past, and mostly when he was coaching TUF. Good for him if he's improved. I know he's talented. Going though DJ (2nd time?), TJ and now MM is damn impressive.Hmm I’ve only heard him after these last two fights, but I like his mic work there.
Yeah, I’d be interested to hear what you think if you find the footage.Yeah, I followed along on mmajunkie play-by-play tonight, so I didn't see that.

He did get kind of lucky that Moraes inexplicably allowed him to knee him in the face a few dozen times. WTF?Yeah, I’d be interested to hear what you think if you find the footage.
Beyond the talent, I’m just so impressed by the will and mental strength. He had no answers in the first round, said fuck it, but down hard, went forward and took his man out.
Yeah. That Thai clinch stupidity was odd, as was Moraes refusal to either move his head or parry Cejudo’s straight rights. I don’t know if he’s too tough for his own good - he didn’t seem phased by any of the strikes, so much as he just ran out of gas. Not sure if that was the weight cut or the knees to the body or just being ill prepared.He did get kind of lucky that Moraes inexplicably allowed him to knee him in the face a few dozen times. WTF?

I just watched it on youtube. I still think he started off awkward, but improved as he went along.Yeah, I’d be interested to hear what you think if you find the footage.
Absolutely why Olympic pedigrees matter, but you see how some people are so talented they can get to the top without ever being challenged, and when they are, they fold.I just watched it on youtube. I still think he started off awkward, but improved as he went along.
Talking about the actual fight and the callouts he made afterward were fine. Didn't care for the bit about overcoming adversity with his ankle before this fight and oh yeah, he had some adversity when he fought Demetrious Johnson before too. The triple C bit wasn't too bad, I guess.
I get the sense that when he's talking he's trying really hard to work through a checklist in his head that has too many items on it. A shorter list might work better for him. But still, he was better than I remember.
With regard to his willpower and mental toughness, I totally agree. Another way that Olympic pedigrees matter?
It feels like her only chance is to try to maintain distance and hope Amanda gasses late.Nunes is gonna murder Holly, isn’t she?
I'm ordering pizza. What do you want?Pretty good card. Was going to go to a little watch party but figured I’d hang with SoSH instead.
Cockhold is too handsome to fightRockhold looking Jack Diesel at 205.
But I gotta root for the dude coming out to HotRS.
If he loses I’m posting that Raging Bull clip.Cockhold is too handsome to fight
You talking chin in terms of one shot pops or in terms of ability to take damage when fatigued?Hopefully Marciano can answer this: when a guy moves up a weight class and puts on some muscle, that means his chin got stronger too, right?
I'm pretty, pretty sure it is supposed to work that way. Though maybe Blachowicz isn't the right guy to test that.
