i dont have a high opinion of mma in general but womens mma is really s****ing the bottom of the barrel..sheesh :shock:
It has vastly improved from 5 years ago . Clearly Holm and Tate are very well trained , each showing good movement and distance control . It was a pretty damn good fight . Tate was very patient and losing on my scorecard 3-1 going into the 5th so she needed the KO . Congrats to both fighters :rasta
I bet on Tate and Dos Anjos 2 under dogs but Dos Anjos pulled out. Hit Tate at 4-1. Got nothing on McGregor-Diaz. Please fill us in. Thanks Brotha
