The Happy Warrior speaks on his head trauma lead her to calling it quits in MMA.

My first experience was in 2010 when I got powerbomb slammed by Sarah Kaufman in our Strikeforce title fight. Darkness did not close my eyes, but I felt like my soul left my body for a second. I was there but I couldn’t move.

I remember on the way home in the airport, I was trying to talk to my cornerman. For some reason my speech was slow, and I couldn’t come up with the words. Actually, everything about me felt slow.

It's the first UFC card of the year an we're here to talk about it!

On today's episode I start things off with an announcement about the future of the Dojo Talk Podcast. After bringing down the mood with my announcement @theanticool and I give our thoughts on the latest fight announcements including Adesanya Vs Romero, Aldo Vs Cejudo and Woodley Vs Edwards. On the fight side of things we break down Conor Mcgregor's wipe out of Donald Cerrone and who we believe he should fight next. And of course we break down the rest of the card which gave us great performances from Carlos Diego Ferreira and Roxanne Modaferri among a few others. Be sure to share this episode with a friend and a fellow fight fan!

In a war of attrition. Roxy doesn’t win in her final fight but she does push O’Neill to the only decision of her UFC career thus far. O’Neill won every round of the fight. Not sure how two judges only had it 2-1 for her or how one judge scored it for Roxy. Roxy is just other worldly tough. Marched forward for 15 minutes despite eating big shots from O’Neill. 

As for O’Neill, I think this exposes that she needs to do more work. She landed at an insane clip in this fight but she also ate a LOT of shots. Got bruised up and bloodied against a Modafferi that is not a good striker. She keeps her head on the center line a lot, throws a lot of arm shots (despite having power when she gets proper transfer), and her wrestling isn’t reflective of how good her actual mat game is. Also, I know they were hyping up her speed but she’s not really that fast. Lots of labored shots. Lots to work on. But 4-0 start to her career ain’t bad. Would love to see her fight a Gillian Robertson or Maycee Barber.
