Rousey has a broken thumb? And is out for 2 months. Guess it didn't matter though since she was taking time off anyways.

But, Parillo is not the man responsible for setting the gameplan for the Edgar trilogy match.
He explained the situation on a recent guest spot on "The MMA Hour" (via MMA Fighting ):"I would never in a million years develop that new style. Never in a million years.I got called a week before the fight to work his corner for the fight, so I, myself, hadn't spent time in camp at all with B.J. ... I answered yes automatically because he's my friend. So I didn't know. They explained to me kind of the gameplan the week of the fight, and I was actually rooming with his boxing coach the whole week, so I was listening to him, talking to him about what they were doing. At that point, it's not my position to make any adjustments, like, ‘no, no, no, let's do this, let's do that,' because it's too late for that. It's too late. He's been doing this shit for two years. What, am I going to come in the week of the fight and change a whole gameplan? Change a whole style around? That's not going to happen, nor does B.J. want me to make that happen. He doesn't want that to happen, he wants to go in there with want they have planned."Parillo revealed that since they were at odds on the new fighting stance, the best decision would be to not have him in camp. But, after Penn called him prior to the fight to be in his corner, Parillo didn't hesitate to accept the invite. Even though it was hard for him to watch his friend try to execute a strategy that wasn't working.
But, as he explained, once Penn is set on something, he sticks with it.
He explains:"Everybody and their mother is calling me up going, what the penetrate? They're going, 'what the penetrate, Jay? What is that?' And I'm like, 'I don't know.' If you can see it (not working) on TV, I can imagine how the audience is seeing it. But, you know, that's B.J. B.J. gets something set in his head and he likes it, and apparently it was working for him in the gym, so he wanted to go from there. I wanted him bending his knees. It's called sitting down on your punch in boxing, and that way you can use your legs to help with your head movement, help with your footwork, help with all this stuff. He just says he doesn't like that style anymore because it made him too tired. So at the end of the day, what can I do? He's my friend and I've got to support him. I always have and I always will."

Middleweights Tim Kennedy and Yoel Romero will square off at UFC 178 in a match that will likely go to the ground given the elite wrestling background of both fighters.
Kennedy is 3-0 in the UFC, and is coming off a dominant performance against Michael Bisping at the TUF Nations Finale. Prior to that, Kennedy knocked out Rafael Natal, and defeated Roger Gracie. With a win over Romero, Kennedy will likely cement his place in the middleweight division’s top 5.
Yoel Romero on the other hand is 4-0 in his UFC career, the Olympic silver medalist is coming off a dominant win over Brad Tavares at UFC on Fox: Werdum vs. Browne. Prior to that Romero was on a tear, winning three fights in a row via KO/TKO. Derek Brunson, Ronny Markes, and Clifford Starks were all knocked out at the hands of Romero. With a win over Kennedy, Romero will likely crack the UFC’s top 10 in the middleweight division.

I thnk your on point w the line would guess +150----+220Comment -
+150'max id say if ur luckyComment -
The exact opposite is likely to happen, Romero should be able to blitz Kennedy on the feet, and Kennedy will be looking for the bodylock the entire time.Originally posted by MercersuxComment -
Depends if someone reminds Romero that he was an Olympic wrestler. Two fights ago u might have thought he never wrestled a day in his life. Last fight he remember he was a pretty good wrestler. This guy is a dangerous guy to bet with hard earn money. I wonder what they look like side by side. Kennedy is kinda a small middleweight.Originally posted by MDComment -
