rose 3-1 for Sub nice enough odds considering. Only way I can see that fight going.

Matt Brown I have a sneaky feeling will submit Ellenberger, 11/2 for that also nice.

Pity about Scoggins and Mccall would have been a great fight

Jesus Christ that's one way to start a fight Jake.

EDIT: When Jake threw that blocked body kick and Joe said "That's a good body kick" I thought "Why don't more people kick Brown to the body after the Erick Silva fight?". Next thing...BOOM. Unfortunately, the very small defensive work from Ellenberger looked as tentative and abysmal as it's been recently....but none the less that's an INSANELY impressive stoppage for Jake. Good shit.

Namajunas has given this fight away. Karolina had absolutely nothing for her at distance. Rose kept shooting in, ending up in a clinch and eating some nasty shots on the inside. A smarter gameplan and she'd have defo won the fight, specifically the last round. Karolina gets her arse kicked by JJ I reckon.

I think that was more luck by Ellenberger than anything else. If he hadn't landed that body kick, Matt Brown was about to go to town on him, Ellenberger would probably slow down while Matt Brown would only get stronger the longer the fight went. The overhand right Ellenberger first dropped Brown with looked like the same overhand punch RDA throws.

Thug Rose gased out in the 1st. She was tired when she went for the takedown late in the 1st round. I think Thug Rose is more skilled but Karolina won via having better cardio. That could come down to Karolina having a better diet and eating healthier.

Tyron Woodley is smarter than most wrestlers who try to make the transition to MMA imo. That's one of the things I like about him.
