    I always rated his boxing in fairness I backed Cruz but I knew it wasnt a walk over scenario especially in the early rounds, surprised me by keeping it up the amateur boxing backround is the best base for mma imo, I would bet on TJ beating him though I had tj beating Cruz when they fought too in that close fight.

    Was gonna say, it seems like it would be advisable for young kids to learn striking in a discipline like boxing first, it stands to them and then the other factor is its the most marketable mma attribute I think. If Cody and Conor were wrestlers or grapplers they wouldn't be (potential in cody's case) superstars imo

    i thought that she has no hope being as big as ronda cos she isnt a native English speaker
    . are we really saying that ronda was soo popular for her looks, i thought it was the dominance?

    its a big reason for her popularity if you're honest,how many dominant champs do we see that noone really cares about outside of hardcore fans, look at dj for example. and to be fair to amanda her english is fantastic, dont see that getting in her way at all

    ...as long as they bother to promote her properly, which I'm still not sure they will.

    Agree on Holm Nunes, wish Dana would scrap the 145 shyte, he even said that didn't even pan out now with the Cyborg problem but they have to just let it play out and see what happens.

    only what rogan is saying, which is speculation.
    but even if she gets a year ( JJ got a year and he was equally guilty , a covering substance rather than a substance) she could be back for the new years day 2018 fight
    against a dual belt 135 145 woman

    Holm is a hugely overated striker, Schevchenko schooled her on the feet. I think Nunes would knock her out, she hits like a man.

    Not just say she hits very hard? Shes punching women

    Neither JJ or Cyborg were caught for masking agents.
    JJ was an estrogen blocker. PCT drug.
    CC was a andro-blocking steroid with diuretic effects. Which plays out pretty bad with USADA/NSAC or whoever fines her. I'd say she'll get a year at least.

    you know more than me
    i thought he took an est blocker and she took a test blocker and that both are seen as ancillary by usada

    Not sure what you mean but she does punch like a man. Her punching technique is similar to the male fighters. All the ladies throw arm punches, Nunes turns them punches over properly like a man.

    So she punches properly. Rather than like a man.
