In all fairness, I've seen BJJ guys cross their feet against lesser ground opponents in mma.

What would a male fighter have done? Go for an ankle lock? Doesn't look like a person can do much when the arm is slipped under their chin anway.

Well i'm not going to say it's terrible when I enjoy watching some of the female fighters and fights. It's not wnba status where it's unwatchable. A lot of men's fights on ufc cards that I just change the channel or go and do something else. If Joanna, Claudia, Miesha, Zingano, Namajunas, Calderwood, and Valentina are fighting i'll check it out.

I'm sure Conor has decent BJJ but compared to Nate and a lot of other guys it's not anywhere close so yeah he's gonna get exposed on the ground. His wrestling is atrocious as well so he def needs to work on those things going forward.

I'll admit though the only reason I would cheer for the Diaz bros was cause they are fighting out of NorCal. Other than that I was always a fan of propped up fighters.
Silva, aldo, Roy Nelson (lol) . Etc. all but mcgregor.
But the Diaz bros have been doing their thing. I just didn't give them the credit they deserve.

Like I said before the fight Nate has experience at 170
He's felt the power of 170s
Conors power is nothing in comparison
Nate's BJJ is far superior
BJJ is Conors weakness, his 3 losses are all from sub

Isn't that Rory MacDonald?
Became a fan of Nick Diaz when he beat BJ Penn and gave the Joe Rogan podcast a shoutout

This was always one of my favorite Nick Diaz fights. Great ground display by both Nick and Karo. Two really tough guys. Karo was more of a brawler with A1 judo.

when someone crosses their feet from back mount, they're giving up an excruciatingly painful ankle lock to their opponent. they teach you not to cross your feet on your first day of back mount work at any BJJ school. so painful that your opponent will let go of the RNC to relieve the ankle lock.
i had my **** snapped my first couple months of BJJ because i crossed my feet. learned the hard way.
guys that get away with it are typically higher on their opponent's back, which avoids the ankle lock.
BJ Penn used to cross his feet from backmount to trap a guys arm, but he had crazy leg dexterity which allowed him to keep his legs high on his opponent from anywhere.

Big reason why I always triangles my legs when I trained MMA/BJJ.

I actually noticed the same thing when they replayed the finish on Saturday night. First thing i thought was "damn, Holly could have used her leg to lock up Tate's crossed feet". I remember when i was a white belt, i had someone in a RNC and i made the rookie mistake of crossing my feet. I ended up tearing something in my knee b/c my partner just put pressure on my crossed feet with his own foot. from that day on, i made sure to never do that again.
Not saying that would have saved Holm, but Tate could have done that technique better to minimize any potential risk.

nate 
lol the sting of all these new MMA/Conor fans is a joy to watch.....
welcome to the sport.
Conor got some work to do, everyone bout to be shooting on the irishman now.....just like pettis.
He better be ready.
This MMA man, EVERYONE looses......you gotta loose to evolve man, all the most complete fighters in the game have lost, learned and came back.
Conor will be no exepction, his stand up is at peak., leave that alone.
He need to put serious work in on that wresting and BJJ for the next few years and he could be really scary AF.
Alwasy said its going to be fun watching his career, and its been a ride so far
cant wait to see whats next.
Nate, well deserved, been in the game for a minute....pioneer status for the UFC
Damn cant wait to see a motivated nate in his next fight
holly!!! Damn girl, she'll be back she a true champ.....she know how to loose....hopefully she back sooner than later.
GREAT card......

So what's next for Nate? A bout against RDA, in hopes of setting up a Conor vs. Nate rematch (or Conor vs. RDA after he defends his FW title)? Or a bout against Lawler, which apparently Dana White said "makes sense"?

we've already seen RDA/nate
it's got to be a big fight as well. i would bet it would be lawler for the title
would love to see khabib and nate, but not sure how that draws

Who would've thought that 30 years later human cockfighting would be the springboard for women that can't hack it to become D-List celebrities.
We've come a long way folks.
