I’m glad Cyborg’s arm healed well after posting & snapping it.

Sarah smiles like a psycho when she’s ready to fight. It’s really creepy.

pretty funny that 5 stories down from this one is the discussion regarding if Cyborg is a meathead or not. Example A right there in that video. I have one unit on Villesanor so hopefuly he comes through

Justin Davis?
Just a bit curious about Justin Davis as a last-minute replacement opponent for Dennis Hallman. According to FightFinder, it appears that Davis trains at Victory Athletics, which is the gym that Hallman runs in Olympia, WA.
Hallman fighting one of his own students at a catch-weight just seems a little sketchy. Can anyone shine any light on this situation?

What a meat head.....

I just now read that thread, and it looked pretty fun.
Meatheads, useless academia, revenge plots…all good…

Idk about you guys
But really pushing at weigh ins is old and played. People really need to stop doing it.

kaufman looks like she could drop a weight-class—that’s not rude when it’s fight-related right??

I’d agree except with the American female MMA scene, being 135~ is where you need to be to get fights.
And she handles herself well.

She can’t. She used to fight 145, and she really has nothing left to cut after 135.

Not even Strikeforce knows anymore.

Shayna looks terrifying. And hot.
Sarah just looks terrified.

No, she doesn’t. That’s her “zen smile”. It means she in the zone.

I’ll take your word for it, but you’re not disagreeing about Shayna, right?

Man, if people are gonna get into these scuffles at every weigh-in, we should move the weigh-in to right before the fight and put them in the ring with a bottle of pedialyte and a hamburger.
Wait, that might actually make this a blood sport.
