Ridiculously scary fighter

[@technodromen]

yup. to me this is what makes this fight so incredibly exciting! can cory hang with round 3 yan?! and can yan really just keep his guard high and avoid corys creative striking?! man this one has me feeling all kind of feelz :-D

[@rajabukijazi8757]

dudes a monster

[@painandpyro]

Man, I'm getting more and more respect for Clarissa Shields... She's confident without being delusional, and almost feels a throwback to the classic spirit of mixed martial arts: being an expert in one field, but feeling frustrated after realizing how limited she is in other areas and then making an effort to expand her skillset. And she's not just showing up for a quick cash in, she's got a competitive spirit that making her take it seriously. Really looking forward to seeing how she does

[@adriel68]

Same. She’s extremely likeable

[@JosephHandibode]

She is delusional and so are you. The lady was mad her boxing is terrible she spars with cris cyborg. Amanda destroyed Cyborg hence her reasons to fight Amanda because her striking was challenged. She stinks and won't be pfl champ.

[@cherrysuyo6003]

I can listen to Ariel and Bisping all day. Love it. Do it again please.

[@brianhershey563]

"Nope, thanks to me", Claressa responded when asked if anyone got hurt in the fire. I'm a fan for LIFE right there.

[@EricCKeys]

What a great interview with Bisping. May be my favorite interview yet. Definitely can see Ariel and Bisping having a running show together.

[@leonardogranic-flores1860]

Kevin lee deserves all the respect for talking about something like that. I bet a lot of fighters struggle with this and never say anything about it.

[@pepe7drum]

They don't have to if they don't want to do that, each person goes through things differently

[@housewoodrow]

A lot of fighters tend to be very closed off about certain conditions. They'd be surprised at how much support they would receive when it comes to their struggles whether it's from other fighters or the fans.

The problem with Adderall isn't with those who need it and those with an ADHD diagnosis, the problem is with people taking it who are not. It's speed. It's gotta help in training in some way. Those with ADHD do not feel these effects and that's why the medical exemption exists.
