the $3m also covers the months of training she did for the fight so it's very glib of the media to use that stat.

I hope she retires, her heart is clearly not in it anymore.

She just got lucky because she had a modicum of fighting talent at the dawn of female UFC professional fighting.

With the gradual increase of depth and talent entering the sport she is being found out.

She is overrated and like the men who first entered the octagon over 10 years the champions of today in most cases will likely be viewed as the superior fighters.

I'd be surprised if she continued. I can see her retiring after two humiliating defeats.

If you're going to take photos or poke at a snake, I guess the best time to do it is when his mouth is seriously full. :shock:

I pulled up the other day in a BP / IGA car park around the corner. When I returned to the car I noticed the car next to me was a huge 4 wheel drive (in itself not exceptional in my neighbourhood unfortunately).

The 4 wheel drive however had lots of hunting type lights & lots of car stickers which attracted my attention. One of the stickers on the drivers side had something like "If you don't fit in then f*ck off" - anyways I thought that was quite amusing as the only thing that didn't fit in was this guy & his car.
