We will be having Feijoada here later. Took me forever to get that the way my wife likes it but in my defense I had never eaten it before. (Brazilian black bean stew w/ a bunch of other stuff).

Feijoada is nice

How did it turn out? Sounds yummy. Perhaps serve with rice and / or a nice bread? A Mexican friend made menudo the other night. It’s a stew containing tripe, hominy, onions, chili. Tasty and filling. I love trying different cuisine.

Pretty good. Took forever to get the taste of something I only had once correct. Served with salsa and chips.

Made sourdough this morning. It will go well with split pea and ham soup later this week when the temp. drops a bit.

Ha, I had no idea people actually make that on the other side of the Pond. Norse style, with Mustard/Onions as the garnish? With the mandatory pancake + jam dessert?

Nice. Hearty soup & fresh bread is a great base for colder temperatures.

Yeah there’s variations of those types of mainstays. I’ve got some bratwurst and will add onions & mustard, serve on rice. Right now I’m preparing a slightly heated soft tortilla, will add Irish butter and black current jam. My mouth is watering in anticipation.

Rosa proved too much for Lansberg. Superior striking and clinch work. Lansberg reps herself and the sport well. After their bout Rosa apologized for the knee and Lansberg said no problem. They wished each other well.

Manon Fiorot showed patience in adjusting her foot work to get in on Chook. By the third round Manon was landing the significant strikes and Chook was the one chasing. Good work from Fiorot, defeating a higher ranked opponent.

I’m looking forward to seeing Ham vs. Hirata. Hoping Hirata arrives more on point.

I enjoy watching fights and seeing fighters develop. I don’t share the negative judgments expressed by some. The fighters are trying their best. It is what it is.

Yay for Roxy Roman.

Pretty pointless fight, even for a last minute one, which according to Melissa, it is. The #2 flyweight in Combate against a fighter who was 2-0 at Atomweight, but has been 0-3 since moving up to strawweight. Combate Global seriously lacks any direction in their matchmaking.

It’s a Sunday night event, too, instead of the normal Friday, which likely means there’s a big soccer game on Sunday to lead into this on Univision

Combate just pick names out of a hat I think.

Anyway assuming she gets this then one or two more early next year then she's probably in a good spot for the contender series next year.

I remember someone from mma media Contacted the Florida commission, and apparently even they don’t know who is facing who and when until fight week. It’s a total s- show. Can’t remember the last time a high ranked woman fighter faced someone close to them in their own rankings.

Thanh Truc has a ton of muay thai fights, and was fighting good international competition at IFMA for years. She's 30, but otherwise someone to maybe look out for.

Am I reading this right that a 15 year old is fighting a 30 year old???

Yeah, that's a bit questionable. Then again, maybe the 15 year old is the next Valentina Shevchenko.

Welcome to Asian wmma. While not super common, young girls have started fighting early for years, and when it comes to the Korean fighters, they pretty much always debut against someone much older or more experienced, usually a Japanese opponent.
