And Holly fought Mayra at 41, She fought Tate in her prime, when she was much better, undefeated. Fought Nunes at the end of her prime. Holly is not the same fighter now.
Again, I have said multiple times, I am not saying Mayra is not good, I think she is good, but that fight was not dominating or running through, that's all I am saying. She won, good choke, good win, then it was overturned. Everyone who clicks on Mayra's profile can check everything I have said.
Just because I use stats doesn't mean I don't watch fights, if you don't want to believe that, that's your choice. Doesn't change anything about her record.
Your perspective of dominant or running through is different from mine, and that's fine. I already gave examples of what I consider to be dominant. In my opinion she was losing and pulled off a good choke. We can agree to disagree on that and move on.

I'd love to see Dom rebound and prove he can still hang, but I think the writing was on the wall in that Spann fight.

A bit of a ramble,
Sean, you talk **** about just about everything and complain about free speech, etc. You insult people directly to their core, and their hearts, you said you wanted to kill a man in the Octagon and you'd own it. You said it's ok to be a psychopath, own it, and have fun.
Now you're getting insulted back and they aren't men? How about you ******* man up and take the insults you hurl at people with gender issues, your entire hatred of these people and you don't even think about how they must feel. Whether you believe it's mental illness or not, you sure talk a hard game but when a dog didn't just take your **** and called you back, you called the trauma card and now cried on a podcast.
Get your **** together and see a psychiatrist, the****** and psychologist. This guy makes everyone with "trauma" look back, he's not our fighter, he's not fighting for me that's for ******* sure and I've been diagnosed as anti-social personality disorder, so I know exactly what Sean is doing.

You gotta treat each the same a fair and even playing field, plus Sean losing to flamer is double the meme.

As for the proposal... Do I really have to explain why they thought it would be funny to do that in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower???? They were there to witness the Boks win the cup you see above btw.
As for the kissing and all that nonsense - for some Afrikaners there is no difference in a kiss or a hug... One is not seen as more sexual than another. I would think most people greet their family and close friends with hugs - for some Afrikaners to kiss is no different. And Morne Visser (DDP/Team CIT Head Coach) - he is more than just a coach - he is a father figure in many ways and that gym operates as (albeit a very strict) family.
Just a South African perspective on the situation as far as his sexuality is concerned

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 3 of 8 Winners, 0 Perfect, 165 Points | Tied for 5304th
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R4
Strickland shocked everyone by beating Adesanya but I don't think he'll be able to walk down Du Plessis like that without being taken down.
Pennington vs. Bueno Silva
Mayra Bueno Silva, SUB, R2
This could go either way but Silva has looked very impressive in her last few fights
Magny vs. Malott
Mike Malott, SUB, R3
Setup fight to showcase Malott and make the Canadian fans happy. Magny's only hope is to control the range and point fight. If he tries to grapple or trade shots he will get finished. I think Malott's body kicks will make the difference.
Katona vs. Armfield
Brad Katona, DEC
Katona isn't going to waste this latest run in the UFC.
Robertson vs. Viana
Gillian Robertson, SUB, R2
Could be close
Lainesse vs. Patterson
Yohan Lainesse, TKO, R3
I'll take Lainesse, Patterson is chinny
Jourdain vs. Woodson
Charles Jourdain, DEC
Close fight and I might change this pick. Woodson can win if he controls range but his fight IQ is lacking sometimes
Jasudavicius vs. Cachoeira
Jasmine Jasudavicius, DEC
Cachoeira is in my opinion one of the worst female fighters in the UFC

People said this about the last Canada card because the main event was Nunes vs. Aldana but that card ended up majorly over-delivering.

It's pretty much a given that if you hate, you hate yourself. If you're gay, just be gay and stop creating hatred from your own issues.
