Mix Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 I don't think you need to worry about Conor whether he wins or not because big combat stars like him are going to continue to draw crowds with or without a championship belt at stake...his biggest drawing fights were with Diaz and those weren't for belts...

Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Raquel Pennington for the win!!! Though Miesha did seem diminished and not her self, all due credit and respect to Pennington who grinded out three grueling grappling centric rounds against the former champ...
