I hate that Akira guy. Damn what a jerk. Ofc it was a illegal knee, but not intentional. Akiras milking it, and "fell" to the ground every time he tried just sitting up. 2 mins later he get a win and walks out of the cage. Wouldn't he have someone to "guide" him out of the ring when he obviously was so ******???

Insta rematch. Blanco will not get cut, but damn I look forward to see Blanco again. He's so damn intense and nasty!

I can't see or move!  oh i guess you'll just have to give him a DQ then.  While not being able to see and having what appeared to be a concussion he just strolls out of the octagon no problem.  Akira logic.

I think its extremely funny how akira acted like such a tough ******* badass. Then met someone whos a real badass and made akira go into *****mode.

Its like that saying goes theres gonna be a bully out there, but hes always gonna get ****** up eventually when a bigger bully comes along.

Akira should be 0-3 not 3-0. In his only legit win Peralta fought like ****. Ogle beat him and got the shaft from the judges.

lCorassani has been a ***** since his time in TUF. like when he tapped to Dustin Neace's Heel Hook but because Herb Dean didn't see he just kept going while Neace let off recognizing the tap but  Akira kept going.  Akira the ******* has been being a ****wad for a while.
