Is normal.

 

[Xuh]

I'm annoyed because Nina was a good underdog bet. MUH MONEY

I remembered she's done similar before and looking it up again, in 2015 she withdrew from a fight (after a large weight miss) due to flu.
The opponent on that date: Rose Namajunas.
I wonder how that fight would have gone....

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Damn, there goes my snack break

 

[Big Al's Texas BBQ]

There's a fight card tonight?

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Another WMMA fight off the card, thank God. Only time I'm ever happy that a fight gets cancelled

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Lol whatever. Nina will never fight again I guess

Cynthia did look like shit in her last fight against Andrea Lee iirc. Finished on her stool at the end of the 2nd when her corner called it, lost the last 3 with only a win over Jessica Eye in her last 5. I thought she had good potential earlier in her career and she could come back strong but hasn't seemed to improve at all in a long time. You're right, the odds were decent considering everything.

She seems unfocussed lately like her heart isn't really in doing MMA anymore.

Nina also wasn't great in her last fight (coming back soon after pregnancy) and might have 'lost it' as well but there's more evidence of that for Cynthia (3 fights in a row culminating with quitting on the stool) so worth a shot I thought. 'Prime Nina' was a bad matchup for Calvillo since she has been quite hard to take down in the past, and Calvillo wastes too much time trying to box with her opponents when her path to victory is always getting on top (she's not the greatest wrestler either). Her career might have gone better if she'd been able to focus on building a gameplan around that, instead of trying to put on boxing sparring matches which seems like the direction she went for.

I was expecting Nina to outstrike her soundly on the feet while Calvillo didn't bother to go for TD's and got denied most (or all) of the few she did remember to try for.

Great. 30 minutes of filler to start the card or a later start.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

Did Amanda get her pregnant again? Tough luck

 

[Spounman]

Lol whatever. Nina will never fight again I guess

Hopefully. Dana should cut her.

 

[Dirty Frank]

Fuckin hell

Super sperm!

 

[Gluhov]

Cool cool cool

 

[BEATDOWNS]

I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!

Why anyone would care enough to make a thread about this is beyond my comprehension.
