Good googly moogly.  Nice submission finish by Calderwood from the bottom. Hopefully she can keep this up at 125.

Good thing JoJo got the sub as fast as she did, because her legs would have been ****** in round two if she didn't get the tap there.

A quote from a recent interview Dober did for MMA Fighting

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 625 Points   |   Tied for 349th


 “They also said a bunch of other things. I think through time, eventually there’s gonna be more weight classes. … It’s really all politics. But as a fighter, I’m just a little monkey. Until then, I have to decide whether I cut a couple pounds to get to 170 or cut more than 10 percent to get to 155.”-Drew Dober 





When I read things like this there are several obvious assumptions I can make. 1, fighters and most fans still don't understand the UFC barely controls anything anymore. These crooked commissions are deciding on rules, weight-classes and refs, not the UFC. 2, Dober chose to endanger himself in order to get a spot on the hometown card whether than play it safe and yet claims its "politics and being a monkey"...hmm. 

“My body can fluctuate a ton of weight, a ton of water,” Dober said. “When you have a short, stocky build, you can do bigger weight cuts, because I’m really just dehydrating muscles. And the more muscles you have, the more water you can fluctuate.”-Another quote from Dober. 

The fighters cut weight and then blame random promoters while begging for more pay. When its fairly obvious they wouldn't know what to do with the money they "deserve" and likely wouldn't fight anymore.

I got Johnson ko and gaethje ko. Vick won’t be using his range against someone who closes the distance like Justin. He has fought one ranked fighter dariush and got finished. Is easily the biggest lightweight in ufc surely he can’t keep the pace gaethje will push. Maybe a 3rd or 4th round tko

It's been 2 to 3 years since the ABC put in their update for the Unified MMA Rules and still not every state has accepted the rule change?  So stupid.

Well that was ******* quick.  Mickey Gall is improving fast.  That said, Sullivan was stupid to try and punch back at someone who has his back with the body triangle instead of turning into it.

Sullivan is the biggest bum in the welterweight division. He should still have the knowhow to not look that bad. Hall in improving but can’t really read into that win to much

that happens all the time @greenhornet. Countless of these dudes punch, hell sometimes they get away with it. Women still using head & arm throws then getting their backs taken and wonder why....

Wow I actually agree with Bruce. Those throws would get punished in men’s mma. Gall calling out a lightweight and someone he’s beat because he knows he would struggle to get a win against anyone else
