This is where all the female fighters need to be instead of just two in the UFC. Cyborg, Rousey, Liz all need to be there, put all female fighters under the same banner until WMMA becomes more well known instead of spreading them out.

HOSS-Bork, you should spend more time brushing up on your MMA history, and less time complementing guys on how young their penises taste.
i was cheering for bec being a fellow aussie. Her standup looked pretty legit but she just had 0 answer for those takedowns. Still she looked good, hopefully she can improve and come back stronger.
