RANDOM TWIDBITS
“Two fighters are tailor made for their opponents and they are dos Santos and Silva. They are both in trouble. Picking hunt and Weidman… if Jds wrestles and does what he did to Shane he will win. But he likes knocking people out. Standing with hunt is dangerous…Wrestling, jits, I just really believe Weidman is special man.” -Daniel Cormier
“My life hasn’t changed much since the big @ufc fight but if you buy a private lesson from me you can help #payoffmytruck!” -Liz Carmouche
