I smell a comeback for Martin Lawrence. Let's fast-track this one.

Not sure why my phone would have Corrine but not Cerrone in it as a word. I don’t even know that rep.

 

[sickc0d3r]

Rose is awesome.

 

[Fedorable]

uh oh, anderson silva leg injury, Didn't see it, hope it wasn't like the last one.

Did you just call me a monkey's uncle?!

my uncle is in fact a monkey's uncle. Not by birth.

I'm so friggin ready for my raise in August. At my booking agent job I made 1,512 this week. With the raise it would have been 1,865

Also I got an apartment in the French Quarter! So stoked.

19% raise. you're welcome

possibly hemorrhoids.

Win or lose, I fucking love Alves.

This is what I like to see. Pure penetration of elite flesh entering inside in acceptance...

 

[sickc0d3r]

Holy shit, unbelievable

Christ, what a dumb ending. Instant rematch imo

She was getting absolutely pieced up but that slam was cool.

Yep. It was a legit win. It’s just when you are losing that bad then land a knockout that way, you have to do it again. She has the belt and is the champ. Rose now seems like the best contender to take it away.

Rose won 1 round...

Wait Rose lost tonight? jfc MMA.

ed, just saw the highlight. Fuck that shit, that wasn't even that hard a slam, just very lucky. Weakest women's champ since Cookie Monster, less legit than Vitor after cutting Couture's eye.

I prefer fighters who don't get slammed.

Also, was that legal?

I wondered that myself and looked it up. Spike slams are legal when your opponent has a submission on. From the unified rules:

"It should be noted when a fighter is placed into a submission hold by their opponent, if that fighter is capable of elevating their opponent they may bring that opponent down in any fashion they desire because they are not in control of their opponent’s body. The fighter who is attempting the submission can either adjust their position, or let go of their hold before being slammed to the canvas."

I think that also implies that "headbutt slams" are legal, or at least the foul is not enforceable when in a sub, like Rampage when he headbutted Arona from a triangle choke in Pride.

@Zookeeper Gabe your thoughts?

I echo those thoughts.

Tore up his knee I think. Definitely no rubber leg like last time.
Not a bad event, although I was hoping for more from Aldo vs Volkanovski.
Interesting title fight. Rose was destroying Andrade in the striking, but I guess Rose learnt not to ignore the slam.
