In case it was missed, as per Cormier, according to Khabib who must be sitting close to Yan's coaches they advised him to throw the knee. It was bad advice. How doesn't he or his coaches know that's an illegal action?!

If Nunes is in top form this could be ugly.

Nunes and Valentina are the only two women I get excited to watch fight.

Anderson is like the 6th best fighter in a division with 5 good fighters (and that's counting Kayla Harrison).

Are they just purposely forgetting that many think Nunes/Valentina should be 1-1 right now and Valentina is so much smaller. Valentina is the P4P best female fighter.

I agree but she didn't get that decision and people will go h2h even if a fighter is giving up a lot of size.

Nunes is such a savage but it sucks. There literally no competition unless she fights Valentina. She needs to fight a man or something.


Also nunes has a great voice

UFC tried their hardest to make it seem like Megan was a good contender.

Good thing it wasn’t a main event.

Israel is so into his own legend i would be happy to see his self-canonization go sideways. not likely though.

Nunes is so insane, none of these 135/145 girls have anything for her

Puts into perspective how crazy impressive it is that Shevchenko gave her two close decisions (2nd one honestly could’ve gone to Shev) despite being almost two weight classes smaller

Izzy's unbelievably good but idk if he can hang with a 240 lb Jon imo. The grappling skill/strength difference is just too much

At 205 when you get a ~220 lb Jon, that'd be very interesting
