Hopefully this means no more Fast&Furious movies.

You know the one thing I'm still not used to when watching women fight is when someone throws an inside leg kick that hits high up on the thigh.

I always go "OHHH **** that was nasty!  Wait they don't have balls.  Nevermind."

The women's division is pretty stacked all around.  As much fun as Modaferri is to watch and as cool as she, I think she'll have a hard time hanging with a majority of the division.

I get that Roxanne is a WMMA pioneer, but she doesn't have the skill or athleticism to keep my interest and I don't think she belongs in the UFC just because she's a sentimental favorite.  Give her the axe.

10-9 for Duke I'm sure some Vegas judges would score that for Peggy via top control tho...

nice, blowing your wad on a sub that wasnt ever going to get a tap because she made a noob move by not pulling that arm across. If she would have done that, i think she would easily have gotten a tap.
