Elsalvajeloco Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Cezar Ferreira has come a long way from the guy who use to stand in front of people and get absolutely mopped up. Roberson was a really good prospect and Mutante just ran through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 If you don't want to get front kicked into oblivion, I would advise against a retirement fight versus Lyoto Machida. That was one for the books. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 For better or worse, the UFC is going to put a lot behind Mackenzie Dern. Fortunately, tonight was for better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Gastelum barely edged out the third round. The takedown defense of Gastelum after almost getting armbar early on defined the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Pennington looked afraid since the first leg kick and then, while in a championship fight, wants to quit. This is just a straight mauling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Pennington is probably so happy this is over and she's going to kill her coach after this for convincing her to go back in. EDIT: Am dumb. Let something Anik said make me think Pennington was married to a dude. I have no idea why I would let one remark I probably didn't even hear right change what I know. So, so dumb.

Craig H Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 So...I can't think of another fighter who turned to their corner right before the 5th round and wanted to end it only to get talked out of it by their coach. And then for the fight to end like that with Pennington's eye all fucked up and nose gushing all kinds of blood because it's been crushed in ways that Rich Franklin would be familiar with. So what should her coach have done? Called the fight? Don't you want to protect your fighter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Fucking disgraceful cornering. Said corner in combat sport are supposed to watch out for their fighter's safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 MMA really needs to get over this refusal to retire in one's corner. It takes more fortitude to recognize you've been defeated and call it a day before your body takes (more?) permanent damage. Fuck that coach. If there were any doubt, the first seconds of the fight was all you needed to know how this would play out. Pennington is not even in the same realm as Nunes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Marc Fiore, who trained Raquel up until recently, who has that bizarre moment on TUF more than a decade ago. He owned a gym called Altitude MMA in Colorado Springs, which is closed. That's not to be confused with one of the hundred million American Top Team affiliates, ATT Altitude that Bobby Lashley was apart of that also no longer exists. Raquel is at some new(?) gym in Colorado Springs w/ Tecia and brought in JJ Aldrich (who is with 303 Training Center and a teammate of Rose). I know Raquel isn't making money hand over fist so I can't judge her too harsh for staying put in Colorado Springs and she's a honestly a fringe contender at best, but you get what you pay for.
