      As it was, Cat Zingano had just suffered some serious head trauma in her fight with Amanda Nunes just 5 months prior. She was really suffering for the first few months and when she got back in the gym, she had brain fog and couldn't judge distance well or anticipate her opponent's movements like she used to. So she thought her best plan was to rush in close where that wouldn't be a problem but of course Rousey just took another arm for her collection. Still feel bad for her because she was one of the greatest fighters in the UFC's early women's roster but just endured probably the worst time of her life in those few years.

    The crowd going nuts after Randy knocked Tim down is one of my favorite moments in mma. Still haven’t heard something quite like it

    Why have I never seen gomi stare at the dudes feet then throw a perfect knee that was beautiful

    No Diego Sanchez "flying" knee? 🤔

    Bob Sapp vs Nogueira opening was most unbelievable ever IMO. Also, Alex Emelianenko - Josh Thompson should be here. Fedor - Tim Sylvia (probably some other Fedor fights as well).

    2:35 - STILL the most electrifying moment in title history, Conor was SO flawless! Dec. 2015, remember that day and that shock and how I shared THIS with those who was close to me them as if it was yesterday...
