    This is incredible, so happy for Ffion. Getting a dream fight, fighting for equal men and women's pay, getting paid what SHE DESERVES. Craig you are awesome. Mo, you are a caveman.

      @@cristobalbalenciaga7295 guess we will find out if that’s true at CJI. Ronda Rousey brought in 1.1 million PPV buys twice. Tate Nunes brought in over a million PPV buys.. Jones hasn’t even gotten close to 1 Million. This isn’t the WNBA and the NBA.

    If you want to learn excellent technique, go to a seminar by a woman. Imagine if 90% of your rolling was done with larger, stronger opponents and not being able to rely on strength.

    Ffion might be the best in the world not named Gordon Ryan but it's tough to compare. Easily the best woman in the world. I expect her to pass, back take and sub Dern (who is incredible aswell).
