[@getasimbe]

@Pure Rust I disagree. It's not only horny teenagers watching mma. There are some good fighters and intriguing fights in women's mma.

[@allenmk138]

Still think she lost her last fight. People love to root for attractive women way more unless it's Amanda Nunes.

[@FREEDOMFORUKRAINE2024]

@Pure Rust Well I think youre right but I also think a few female fighters, for example Nunes, Shevchenko, Waterson, Namajunas and Cyborg are more exciting to watch than most male fighters.

Edward Valdez she missed weigh twice of the last 3 fights, not looking good. She’s not even fighting now, unprofessional...I think if you miss weigh over 2 pounds you shouldn’t be allowed to fight period...it’s getting ridiculous missing weight by 5 pounds and more

I mean you're probably right, but some of them are convinced they'll do it. Bobby southworth cut 22 pounds in 24 hours back on tuf 1, so I guess it's possible. Unless she was freakishly over limit at like 145 or something at the start of the cut

Ariel: "i thought it had a deeper meaning (the flower in Alexa's hair) like the end of the Samsara cycle of life and death. When you get rid of duhkha energy and reach the nirvana. And that flower is the symbol of that ideal of becoming one with the universe". Alexa: "nah, it's just a hawaiian flower that i liked, so i bought it"
