A new thing we’re trying out here on MMA SQUARED.

More Good: The challenger, Jessica Andrade, shared MMA Squared’s KO of the Year award with her Wanderlei Silva vs Sakuraba style flattening of Karolina Kowalkiewicz.


The Bad: Not like *bad* bad. Like Bad Motherf—ker bad. That’s what Alexander Volkanovski vs Jose Aldo is on Saturday. Here we see the Australian retiring Chad Mendes with his fists.
