Watching Guida’s hair cover BJ’s face and slowly creep closer to his mouth as he inhaled was giving me crazy anxiety. #UFC237 115 8:34 AM – May 12, 2019 · Maryland, USA Twitter Ads info and privacy See Angela Hill’s other Tweets

He has got nothing to lose either. Soldier on soldier!
Zero concussive KOs on record. Some repetitive blows yes. But zero lights out.
There are fighters with way worse on the clock, way more mental issues, and are paraded to continue.
People in this game are fools.
