On the plus side Cahcoeira barely cheated. She was fish-hooking JJ for a spell during rd2 but other than that nothing. She might just have been unable to find anything else.

@RustyTennakoon 
Yeah you're right, it was satisfying to watch but someone should have stopped it sooner. Either the corner or the ref.

What is that ref in the cage for? Free tickets? I have a friend who received real brain damage from head trauma in training and he is suffering to this day. Priscilla is not going to be the same after that. Repeated small blows are more damaging that a big clean hit that puts you out

Jasmine not having big power to really hammer in the GnP and make the ref stop the fight Turned out to be the worst thing possible for cachoeira. 

hundreds of small punches to the brain are worse then one big one IMO.

Wow, how much must MVP style on this guy in training. Or maybe I'm judging too harshly off his last fight.

Patterson in his profile picture looks like a wholesome person, compared to the Patterson on our screens now.

Lainesse is honestly not a great fighter, but I'm expecting Patterson to put his head on a platter once again. I honestly hope he fixed that issue, because dude does have skill

I'm once again backing Pitter Patterson. Confidence level: low.
