Handled very poorly. Knock tell them to unlock it or leave. Once the boyfriend is gone if she doesn't understand the implications, you just take the door off it's hinges. No need for all this drama. Doing things like this in the moment does nothing but damage.

There is absolutely no way that Ankalaev won this fight. I think a draw is fine. Or Jan by a small margin.

She got a spinning elbow knockout, got hyped and jumped the cage. It's a plastic belt she grabbed from a fan. It's actually a hilarious moment. People just love hating on fighters after a loss, because it makes them feel better about themselves.

I don't think him beating Belal is a huge stretch. Holland has all the makings of a champ except the consistency.

Reyes. Jon's legend status is the only thing that won him this fight.

He takes out all of his service industry frustrations then goes back to the restaurant.

A year of not fighting while saying he would have beaten Buckley if the refs didn't rob him.

Lol... "I can't beat you in a wide rule set combat environment, but I can beat you in a no rules combat environment." Is it a requirement to be delusional to be a boxer?

There's lots of fighters who have never tested positive.

That's honestly one of his coolest techniques. When he strikes he's pretty fun to watch.
