It's not even the fight IQ is the absolute lack of conviction and urgence to put on a performance in your last fight where you need to win or you are out.

Getting put in a headlock like my little brother dragged to the ground and then immediately folding like a total amateur is insane.

Is that true? Is there really no uniform style when it comes to MMA?

@JReynolds47 

Lmao dude you're calling people casuals for picking Lainesse when you picked Nolan to TKO Motta? Does that make you a casual then too? Literally the Sam rhetoric. Nolan was expected to KO Motta because of his chin. Just because you got your one pick/bet right doesn't mean you're some mma prodigy. Sit down. Casual

The money came pouring in on Gordon and Yohan right before closing. So nobody knew what was going to happen except some real ones in this chat.

Yes I think she gets the sub and I'm hoping she waits over 1.5 to do it.
