video review : Vanessa Demopoulos versus Yazmin Jauregui at UFC Fight Night

video review : Vanessa Demopoulos versus Yazmin Jauregui at UFC Fight Night

Yazmin Jauregui says in her postfight interview that God never lets go of her hand. I wonder which it is. Both hit her opponent’s face multiple times. John Gooden, in a moment of irony, speaks of Demopoulos reportedly having “crisper boxing now” just before her defenseless pummeling. It’s the right that hammerfists her to the heavens.

This being the fourth loss in a row for Vanessa Demopoulos might mean the end of her UFC career and that would be unfortunate. She’s a fun little Monster the way she dances when being introduced and hops into the interviewer’s arms after her victories, which are now, at least as far as her UFC record goes, surpassed by her losses.

video review : Conor McGregor versus Max Holloway at UFC 329

video review : Conor McGregor versus Max Holloway at UFC 329

This is quite literally no contest, but MMA rules insist Conor McGregor limp away with another TKO loss. A self-inflicted knee injury does it at just over a minute into the first round, but perhaps the fans were spared. I rooted for him myself; I like Conor and never liked Max; but expected a beating. At least he leaves with his dignity intact.

He should definitely retire, but if he doesn’t, he should ditch the trilogy nonsense; Holloway does a cringy promotion for it in his post-fight interview; and go back to fighting Michael Chandler. It’ll be like his tune-up bout with Donald Cerrone; a chance to showcase himself against someone he actually has a good chance of defeating.
