Anyone who thinks Claudia won this fight must be high. It was a pretty clear decision. Claudia got 1&2, Joanna got 3,4&5 with possible 10-8 in there. It's a lot worse to be lit the **** up for three rounds than to get held down for two.

Fun night.  Probably the weakest of the three Fight Week events, but pretty good for a TUF Finale.

Joanna blasting past me before the fight



Claudia going past after the fight





Rose wandering past earlier in the night

Andrew Sanchez is the new Jon Fitch

That was the first decision win in Sanchez's professional career so it's a little early to label him Jon Fitch. You also have to consider he was fighting a much larger man with massive punching power.

Okay, Sanchez is Jon Fitch just without Fitch's skillset

So I guess my sister ended up making it to the fights. ( was invited last minute and could not make it, GO ******* FIGURE) and she ended up meeting a bunch of people, Cowboy Cerrone, Forrest Griffin, Cris Cyborg, Dana White, Dan Miragliotta, and Jacare Souza. And Jacare of all people actually flirted with her. Crazy ****. Jacare likes jailbait I guess.

I guess that's what I get for having my UFC FFTT3 time.

Fitch has not had a non-decision win since 2007 so its a little early to say that.

Well, if Jacare is anything like the dudes I used to train BJJ with, they're all into jailbait. 

I actually had a BJJ instructor tell me it wasn't a big deal in Brazil to sleep with a 15 year-old girl. He was 30. 

Not taking his word for it.
