Shogun jones wasnt an upset. Jones went into it being a favorite.

Pretty crazy, I must have been hanging on Shogun’s nuts for dear life, and bullshit it wasn’t an upset. Mauricio Rua was the king of 205.

I disagree. He lost to Machida (arguably) and Griffin before. He beat Chuck and Coleman who were already on their way out. Jones was the hot big thing at 205 at the time and I expected him to walk through Shogun as well. His size advantage was enormous.

- Serra vs GSP was a huge upset, but I couldn't appreciate it at the time as I just started watching.
- Griffin vs Jackson was a surprise.
- Bisping vs Rockhold is still one of my favourite KOs of all time and I never saw this coming.
- McGregor vs Aldo was crazy.
- So was McGregor vs Alvarez actually.
- I didn't see Pena vs Nunes coming, but that turned out to be a fluke.
- I wasn't too suprised by Edwards vs Usman, even put some money on Edwards, because Usman's stand up is quite sloppy. Still, I jumped out of my seat for this one.
- Nunes vs Cyborg was a big one.
- Both Rose's title wins were amazing too.

It's a great sport as long as these things keep happening once in a while.

And then Rose/Esparza LOL even though Esparza was only +200, everyone was acting like she was +700 and had no chance. What an upset/flop of a fight.

Penna is decent bro,

She can throw her first 2 punches properly , then she gets a little sloppy, super sloppy when she won, cuz she threw like 15 punches

But she proved she's a legit warior , she didn't back down or quit,
N and in the 2nd fight

When she started landing her punches, Amanda took her down immediately

That b.s about she could finish it any time, was b.s

Penna is tough as nails, n almost submitted Amanda in the 2nd fight

That arm bar was fucking deep

She could have finished her for sure. Shit if that fight was in ONE they would have called it a TKO after the 3rd knockdown in a row, and there was more. Pena needs plastic surgery to fix that gash on her forehead lol that was an absolute smesh and she was def not close to submitting Nunes, they were so sloppy and sweaty at that point Nunes was just flowing control.. not a single moment of panic just domination. Showing that she was def compromised and injured going into their first fight, everything she said was true.

Joe rogan and dc would argue that Penna didn't almost pull the arm bar hail Mary come back

N Amanda did start taking her down when Penna finally adjusted and landed her straight punches

Belel muhamed said Amanda is full of shit

Amanda played it smart n safe

Belal, everyone's #1 source for valid information. Not one of Amanda's former training partners or coaches said she was lying about her injuries and inability to train cardio going into their first fight. For the WMMA GOAT to leave her #1 gym and open her own facility would more than likely prompt her former coaches and gym to be upset and the perfect opportunity to claim her truths or lies, but not one person came out saying she was lying. By the performance she put on, it was clear to me she was previously injured. She did not take the smart and safe route, she pounded her on the feet and then dominates her on the ground. She looked a proper -1000 on their second fight.

I'd honestly just train penna to use her right hand

Against a south paw, I could tell penna had no clue how to fight a south paw, kept opening with her jab ,

Which is easy for south paws to see

Right hands stop south paws

I agree Amanda is superior , but penna is one tough bitch, n she's kinda cute too

Didn't know about her plastic surgery though,
She had big shades on for her ultimate fighter student battle

Watching TUF 30 was hilarious because Pena was so sassy to Nunes all the time and bragging to her team about the shit she was saying to Nunes, like she was above her now. That didn't age well. She's cute if you live at a Home Depot.

I didn't watch tuf so I didn't know penna was a bltch


I did remember Amanda saying she' felt happy to shut penna up especially cuz she talked so much


And yah she's cute for a female mma fighter, not to regular standards

I like rose with long hair,

That patt berry + rose matching hair cut, really kills my boner lol
N she's got a nice face too;
It's too bad she got a boys haircut

Miesha tate nudes I saw,
I swear she took a picture of her tits while she was pregnant and her tits were huge

But I still found it kinda weird how she took that pic in the hospital

Maybe her man had a big fetish for it or something


I wish rose did her ESPN nude shots with long hair, but she kept the boy haircut

They all copied Rhonda rousey n did a ass shot for ESPN

Rose has a cute butt too
