Her full quote from Instagram: \u201cSo you wanna be a fighter? Three months and now Im healthy finally. Thumb and eye are all fixed up. Im a bit out of shape but I\u2019m cleared to train now. I really hope eye pokes will be taken more seriously in the future. I propose instant purse deduction even for an accident. An accident that could seriously affect a fighters health long term. Anyways I\u2019m just grateful that it was not more serious\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I

transition was truly beautiful to watch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Iwo Baraniewski could probably do with a more moderate step up in competition before facing Bogdan Guskov, but I like the guts!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u2026 on that note, the 205-pound division is in absolute shambles!<\/p>\n<p>Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n<p

class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Takeya Mizugaki\u2019s translated reaction to his Aljo loss: \u201cI thought I got stopped out of nowhere without even remembering tapping out myself, but when I watched the footage later, I was tapping like crazy and it cracked me up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Starting to lose consciousness is a funny thing!<\/p>\n<p
