Cookie Monster would rather fight at atomweight
UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Carla Esparza tells The Ragin' MMA podcast she would fight at 105, if the UFC had the division. “I literally just ate a pizza,” said Esparza. “I’m fighting in a weight class where if I ate the way Kajan [Johnson] eats, I would be fighting at 105. Since there isn’t a 105, I can eat whatever I want. ... I think if I had to eat strictly for most of the time, I think it would be hard for me to want to keep doing the sport. I would be miserable all the time. If I had to eat ‘no this, no that’, just nonstop egg-whites and broccoli all the time, I would be like ‘this is not worth it.'" H/T MMA Sucka

'Storm' Storley fine being called Brock Lesnar's protege
Undefeated Logan 'Storm' Storley doesn’t mind being called of Brock Lesnar's protege because he is. Logan seeks to push his record to 9-0 vs. A.J. Matthews at Bellator 204 on Friday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. But when Storm was between the ages of 15 and 17 through his connection to Lesnar he got to spar with Tony Ferguson, watch Randy Coutre up close in the gym, and work with Lesnar. “I got to see a lot of things as a kid spending time with Brock,” said Storley. "It’s probably helped push me here.” H/T MMAjunkie
