Smith put some great combos together, getting an early advantage, but then she found herself on her back, and Bud ground and pounded her to hell.

Expected, but atleast Leslie showed up.

[The Sandmen]

I like your new avatar again. Not sure if I like it better than the Davis one, but probably as much as, I think.

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

I have a 2nd one with Davis on it too... I just really like this one.

[xx - The Broad Street Bullies]

Expected result.

[xx - Team GAP]

Budd is Budding again.

[The Sandmen]

I want Smith to be good here. I like her a lot, and she is much better than 3-11.

I completely agree with you. (spoiler) She looked like a fucking machine last night... Duke's generally not that easy, but Leslie made her look like nothing. lol

[The Sandmen]

More spoilers: And she walked right through Duke's reach like it was NOTHING. And Duke is usually pretty good at using the reach at least somewhat effectively. Smith looked great, adding patience to her aggressive game. She keeps evolving like that and she could be a mainstay in the UFC which would be great. They've got to love her, she has a great, fan-friendly style.

if your talking about duke breaking her hand and giving then i guesss she did ok
