I can't believe Karolina started her career off 10-0 and fought for a UFC belt and is now 2-7 in her last 9 and probably gonna get her walking papers.

DC + RC sucks

Ryan Clark is just like Max Kellerman and Stephen A Smith, in which they are all ESPN guys who don't know jack**** about MMA.

KK already got released by the UFC before... then she was brought back to fight Penne.   IF she wins... she probably gets a new contract for 3 fights 

** correction -- she did not get released - I had thought she did but had surgery to fix some things in 2020.

This fight is really odd to be the 2nd to last prelim over Kape vs Osbourne for example... Bellator like card placement right there

what are you talking about ?  Helwani is an annoying twerp !!  

They had too much mouth breathing in their podcasts with the mics... who wants to listen someone mouth breathing all the time for an hour.

Morales has a worse record but has beaten someone who has beaten Rodriguez. I know styles make fights but that’s all I had to predict this fight on. Mma maths. Whoops

Helwani's the best journalist in the game. Pretty literally the only one who didn't toe the company line. The press conferences where they compliment Dana before asking the questions are embarrassing.

Helwani the brown-noser

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 0 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 3609th

Helwani has cried many times literally about how Dana treated him...   Rampage used to bully him in the beginning.   
he's been a sneaky twerp  to get info all the time.  
he doesn't fit the definition of a journalist... so no he is not one.   Does he reports like an analyst ? yes

I'm not looking for bravest bully on the playground when I'm looking for news coverage...

also lol @ "he does sneaky stuff for info". Do you know what an investigative journalist is? You can google those words separately and try to combine them using context clues.

I probably would have picked morales if I knew he was training at Syndicate. Rodriguez is doing great though
