Huh. The apparently multi - talented Meatball Molly McCann has a children's book coming out

Maybe you could buy it and Felice Herrig's children's book and write up Amazon™ reviews for both so we know which to get for our bedtime reading.

Apparently Grasso isn’t just an analyst. She is a commentator

Good move for Grasso, since UFC commentator/analysts seem to become champions at quite a high rate

Amanda Ribas has crossed 1 million followers!!!

She had an unusually large number of insta followers before her UFC debut (I mean it was really huge for a then-unknown MMA fighter, like 400k or something), I suspect shenanigans.



Kicking Ritu out of the tourny is a bad idea IMO, it was a warmup/courtesy bout not some kind of qualifier. Ritu was going to win the tourny, now ONE are going to miss out on the 1.1 billion Indians tuning in, which will mean only 8 billion people will view their tournament, well short of their usual audience.

Cheyenne Buys said it to Montserrat Ruiz.
...and does this really look like the kind of person you want to 'follow home' to start a turf war with?

My favorite part of Buys’ meltdown was the idea If she followed her home, something different would’ve happened.

She would’ve gotten head&armed into the pavement <45>
 
Weekend picks:
Cyborg vs Smith 2 is as bad as most will see it Smiths always been tuff and the 1st fight was a questionable stoppage while smith moved up. Now smith has built up her 145 frame for years and bested most of bellator. Still ends up a Cyborg tko tho.
Valerie will win and dance.
Leah wins but harding can make it close.

Flyweight title is a coin flip for me I don't remember either being that impressive so Rodriguez. Alesha will defend with td and control. Guthrie I also like to win.

Head says Yan heart says Carla for the rematch.
Spencer for the sub/tko.

War Robertson hopefully gets a sub too.

Cracks me up too. While watching we were all 'Wonder what was said?' It surfaces and Buys denies it. Then people confirm it. Day or so later Buys fesses up and confirms it. Says something like 'Oops sorry, heat of the moment.' Such a random outrageous thing to say. 'I'll follow you home bitch.'
<Lmaoo><45>
 
Good weekend coming up.

Friday
Invicta. Yay. Enjoy watching Rodriguez, Zappitella. Keeping eyes out for other talent & excitement. Let the quirky fun reign.
Bellator. Excited for Leah McCourt v Janay Harding. Loureda who is improving. Rooting for Smith via improbable upset.
LFA. Will check out later.

Saturday
Peak fighting. Celine Haga & Brooke Mayo on the card.
UFC Fight Night. Xiaonan Yan vs. Carla Esparza. Yan by decision. Esparza always arrives prepared. Interested in seeing if Carla can get Yan down & keep her down. I like Yan's striking. She says she's been drilling TDD. Title shot for winner is appropriate.
Felicia Spencer vs. Norma Dumont. Spencer by mauling.

Sunday
Kickboxing - RISE 149 Tokyo. Interested in results and where to watch after the event.
Grappling - Submission Underground 23. Go Gillian Robertson!
