Would you say that Viana is ass? If so I believe I illustrated that earlier in the thread.

@gilese ass is the best way to describe her. I auto fade her every fight; hate the OF girls. She spends her time cosplaying from some stupid anime instead of training

Depends. I believe if a fighter gets enough time in training it's fine to have a hobby/side income whatever. I don't hate OF girls, I'm a lazy guy myself so I probably would be on OF if I was a hot woman.

Getting boob implants as a professional MMA fighter is a red flag though, that's shooting yourself in the foot.

I agree. It's lack of motivation. They can make a ton more money doing OF
