    It is sad to see one goof ruin a talented career.

    I feel like it's entirely Ronda's fault, frankly.

    I don't think Edmond has ever trained anyone that got better. The only other name fighter at GFC is Travis Browne. He was 7-2-1 before he joined GFC. He's 2-3 since joining them.

    Her mom and literally anyone else that had any idea about striking was telling her that Edmond was horrible. She ignored them. I don't know why. Maybe Edmond is a really great guy besides his terrible coaching and she would feel guilty for leaving him. Maybe he would blackmail her. I have no idea. But something is keeping her there and it isn't world class training.

    The point is, she should be able to hear the people telling her that she's at a terrible place and she should react to that accordingly. Sure, Edmond is awful, but he can only transfer that awfulness to others if they're stupid enough to pay him and show up. If she plans to stay in MMA (which I doubt), she needs to recognize what is going on and get in touch with someone who actually knows what is going on in the striking game.

    Sounds like the same sort of thing as Fedor and his priest. Seems to be a common problem for athletes, so I'd guess spending your youth mindlessly following orders isn't great for critical thinking.

    I mean, I'll watch it.

    But I don't understand why it would happen. Surely a contender can be found for at least one of them before May?

    Of all the catchweight superfights that the ufc could have but hasn't done over the years and then this.

    The mind boggles.

    I guess its just a matter of both parties coming to agreeable terms.

    For this fight, T-Wood wants big money fights, and Bisping wants to hold on to his title as long as possible, so its a win-win for both of them.

    Bisping is gunna whup him though.

    Believe you me Buddeh!

    Chael Sonnen is on the new season of the Celebrity Apprentice.

    I don't know if he's playing the heel like he did in the UFC but that would be perfect.

    Any of you that watched WWE in the 2000's will probably remember this fresh-faced young man.

    He's now part of the UFC's rotating cast of announcers.

    Didn't he get in trouble for his real estate business. I swear there were fraud charges.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Also looking to get Bader
    The Viacom-owned promotion will make light heavyweight Ryan Bader (22-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) an offer within the next two weeks, according to a senior Bellator official.

    The fighter currently is within the matching period of his UFC deal, meaning the industry-leading promotion has the right to match any offer made by another promoter.

    Bader's not that great anyway. Most the 205 weight class kinda sucks these days.

    So, uhm, Nunes also looked kinda crappy against Rousey. That was some sloppy murder.

    No need for technique when your opponent stands flat-footed, shoulders square, straight up and down, and has her hands wide enough you could drive a truck through them.

    Now she should've maintained her discipline and picked Rhonda apart in many small combos, but sometime.you just get so excited and/or flabbergasted at such a choice target you just gotta have it.

    No matter where you go...there you are.

    She picks the most international sport to badmouth, with the most foreigners. I get you wanted to have something with "arts" in it to snidely dismiss as not being authentic like you are but come on, get over yourself.

    It really made no sense in the larger context of what she was saying, too.

    Highly confusing and, above all, ignorant.
