Inside MMA guest host women’s UFC fighter Miesha Tate interviews fellow fighter Alexis Davis about her upcoming title challenge versus UFC Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.

“I definitely think I am going to be able to stop the armbar. This is something I train constantly everyday. Obviously she has been training it in Judo for so long but I have been training Mixed Martial Arts for a long time. I train with world champion blackbelts. It is not a problem for me. Blackbelts armbar me everyday. I am not afraid to say that, but I defend them more often than I get them.”

“Having someone mean-mug me across the octagon doesn’t scare me. I had Jessica Eye doing it in my last fight. She [Rousey] is a great fighter and I totally respect her. I don’t know her personally.”

Adam Martin - November 17, 2020

A Brazilian MMA fighter was knocked out twice in what has to be one of the all-time worst stoppages in the history of mixed martial arts. An amateur MMA bout between 198-pound catchweight fighters Jessian Lucas and Michael Douglas (not the actor) was featured this past Sunday in Brazil under the Copa Thunder de MMA Amador banner. The bout was sanctioned by CANMMA, which also works with the UFC when it does events in Brazil. However, referee Kleber Lopes embarrassed the sport when he made one of the most bizarre and terrible stoppages you will ever see.
