But it's not there anymore, that's why I forgot about what it's called. And then after that, I was so eager and so hungry to come back to the winning column that I bolted into these two matches, I bolted into these two fights. And I think I lost not specifically because of lack of skills or not knowing how to crack these opponents, but because mentally I wasn't in the right place.

"Dominick Cruz is one of the greatest bantamweights in combat sports history," said UFC President & CEO Dana White was quoted as saying in a press released issued in conjunction with Saturday's announcement. "Dominick was an amazing athlete who set the standard for bantamweights, and it will be an honor to induct him into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer."
Smotherman, 28, appeared visibly unstable as he completed his weigh-in Friday morning at T-Mobile Arena. After stepping on the scale and registering at 135.5lb, the American fighter walked off the platform before losing consciousness and falling forward onto the stage floor. UFC staff and medical personnel quickly intervened, attending to Smotherman within seconds of the incident. He regained consciousness shortly afterward and was escorted away for further examination by physicians.
I've proven myself in and out of the boxing ring and now I am going to do the same in MMA, and there is no limit to the positive impact I can make on the sport. I plan to enter the PFL SmartCage and once again show the world that that anything is possible with hard work and dedication,
There's no special work for this particular opponent. We're trying to improve in all aspects to become the best in the world. I can't see any threat in Figueiredo. Of course, he's a very experienced and skillful fighter. But it's all about his right hand and the right leg. He has some understanding of grappling. He is capable of taking you down. Overall, he's a decent fighter, but I can't see any big threat in him.
Kayla's not been 100% for the last three years, Abdelaziz told Submission Radio. Since her PFL days, she always had tingling. She couldn't lift her arm... The UFC flew her to New York, and the doctors said she immediately needs surgery because if she doesn't get surgery, it could paralyze her. But immediately after the surgery, all the pain is gone.
"I wasn't surprised by Petr's victory," Nurmagomedov told Red Corner MMA. "I knew he is better at striking; he's got good defensive wrestling. Even if Petr had been taken down, Merab doesn't have the grappling skills like Aljamain Sterling has to control Petr on the ground... I think even if you give Merab a three-year break and make him face a healthy version of Petr Yan, Petr will beat him 10 out of 10 times."
Now, because I've done it so many times and I've been here for so long, I'm just cherishing the memories a little bit more. I'm paying attention to it a little bit more. Every time that there's other great fighters on the card, it just kind of builds the energy. We all kind of feed off each other too. So it's great.
"F--k around and find out," Hooker told Combat TV. "You want to take it there? There's s--t you don't talk about. He tried to get a reaction, and he f---ing got one. You go low, I go lower... You want to say some horrible s-t like that, I'm going to think of the most horrible s-t I can possibly - I'm going to bring that s--t up, too. He genuinely pissed me off.
