    Penn and Nogueira need to pack it in. Silva too.

    Seen Silva done ligaments. Was that what ended the fight? Knee ligaments I presume

    Yup. Caused by a great kick.

    Did that Namajunas KO not come a bit close to being a spike on the head, i.e. illegal?

    delighted for andrade who is a good fighter but she's the female john lineker, was being outclassed up till that.
    I really can't see her beating a striker like rose, joanna again bar some
    miracle similiar to last night.
    I hope rose keeps on fighting, will win a rematch if she gets it imo.

    the division is pretty weak though apart from jj and rose, rest are pretty average that probably won't trouble andrade (suarez waterson probably have a decent fight in them)

    In addition to holding the sub, a spike is also straight down on the top of the head. Rose landed flat.


    Did Cruz really say "you can't be slammed from a Kimura" or similar?

    Aldo was very very poor.

    Really wish Anderson would call it a day. It’s sad to see at this stage.

    Gutted for Rose. She looked so good early, to lose to a poxy slam like that is puke.

    Yeah that was my thinking at the time, she came down on the side of her head and then her body squished across it.

    I hadn't heard the thing about holding a sub. Learn something new every day. I think it's a bit daft though. A technique is illegal because it's dangerous. Just because someone was holding a sub doesn't make it not dangerous anymore.

    Repeatedly. "if Rose holds the Kimura then she always comes out on top even if she gets slammed" or words to that effect.

    Oops...

    Rose holding the sub directly affects how she lands from that slam. Had she let the limits go, she likely would have landed flat on her back. Andrade can't be responsible for Rose's action here.

    Also, a spike must be directly up and straight down on the head (like a pile driver), once there is an arc to the throw, it's not a spike regardless of how the opponent lands

    Jesus.. I'm probably a bit of an MMA noob compared to you guys, but I've never seen a finish like that before!

    Similar move put an end to Charlie Ward's UFC hopes.

    Suarez will be champ soon enough

    Crappy way to lose the belt. But one mistake is all it takes at the top of the game.

    She didn't seem too sad about it. Don't think she wants it.

    Yeah, seems like she doesn't like the pressure of having the belt.

    Before they fight she had said she's just looking to make enough money to buy a farm so she can retire and live in peace. She might have met that goal win or lose. You could see the relief once the fight was over. Would love to see her get back in it but would be happy for her if she ends up getting the farm.
