So apparently Ali Bagautinov tested positive for EPO on a random out of comp drug test before 174 :dead:

I think Ali B. was the only fighter who was randomly tested on the card. I'm surprised they didn't test MM as well.

I don't really follow WMMA, how's Holm's ground game? I know she's a great striker.

This is probably the last that we'll speak of this because, well, it's time to move on, but Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter gave a tangible number for GLORY Last Man Standing's PPV buys. That number was an estimated (read: estimated, not official) 6,000. GLORY took a gamble on American PPV and that gamble didn't seem to be at the right time or the right conditions to work out for them.

That's terrible. I want to see Glory/kickboxing do well in North America.

IDK but he got busted at some Samba competition years ago so hes a known cheat. And it really doesn't matter about Holm's ground game because it will never reach the level of Ronda. I really hope they give her some tune up fights instead of feeding her to the wolves. Maybe get her in there with Carmouche and the other gate keepers

why does he always do that creepy smile in photos

:nervousronda:
@semtex if shes smart and fights from a distance ala old machida? yeah but it seems once ronda closes the distance these broads get ragdolled. Thats why I hate that the mccann fight was cut short, thats one broad I doubt shed toss like yesterdays garbage

I'm assuming they give her a striker and then a title shot.

Ronda's hand is broken so I doubt she fights again before the New Years Eve show. That shyt eating grin on Dana's face says it all. If Ronda beats her he'll go on one of his famous rants.

Holm has absolutely nothing for Ronda. She took a while to take out complete cans (and i mean cans in every sense of the word) Holm still has never fought even an mid level fighter, or even anyone that would be considered a bad fighter that could at least make it to a major org. If they make her fight two fights to get to the title i wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't make it to a title fight.
