Miesha Tate isn't a drawl, myman? Edit: just noticing that Reneau is a high school gym teacher on a four-fight skid. Low fuckin' bar for Tate.

After Jeremy Stephen's whiny comments about Drakkar Klose this past week, having him tap in 65-seconds to a guy without a Wikipedia page is that karma mirror coming around again, I think.
Islam looked good. You can tell he isn't Khabib, though. He had some problems with Moises' strength. None the less, nice finish and great showing for Islam. I don't think he's unbeatable like Khabib is but he's definitely an up and comer and has a great shot at getting the title and holding it for a bit. I don't think anyone in the division can handle his grappling and control. If Khabib is an all time GOAT, Islam looks to be a level or two below that at this point. We'll see how he continues to grow and what he looks like with a step up in opponents. He called out Chandler, RDA, and Tony. He wants to fight before the year is over. I'm down for any of those fights.
If he can sharpen up his G&P he'll be a monster. Right now he's physically dominant but needs to combine that with the constant damage/submission threat that guys like GSP and Khabib presented. Still, elite company.
