Clash of styles opens #BellatorSanDiego when Ashley Thiner and Aysia Cortez make their pro #MMA debuts. Thiner is an amateur Muay Thai champion; a sharp striker who throws with bad intentions. Often works her ground game & has been cornered by grappling standout @Jena_Rae22. 1/2

In that camp I worked for 5 weeks with @Loopygodinez . He told me that he always arrived on the back and couldn't finish with RNC. I told him, in this fight you are going to take the back, finish with RNC and win bonus. check what we were doing before going out to fight ⬇️ – at Paradise, NV

My teammate, Mike Civisca, was freaking robbed of a victory tonight in his amateur mma debut. Such BS. His opponent tapped and was out cold. After checking out mentally because he thought the fight was over, he would get head kicked KOed violently next round. Such BS.
