On Episode 1 of UFC 201 Embedded, fighters go to the dogs.
UFC strawweight Karolina Kowalkiewicz takes her dog to a final training session. Then she runs through a video game version of her upcoming bout against Rose Namajunas. In real life, ‘Thug’ Rose hikes in the Colorado Rockies with her own canine training partner, and goes for sushi.
Rose Namajunas is half of the coolest couple in mixed martial arts; the other half is former UFC heavyweight and currrent kickboxer Pat Barry.
Follow Rose on Instagram…
Follow Pat on Instagram…
We are not superstitious, but, someone we know failed to follow Rose and Pat on Instagram, and became the only person in history to be hit by a meteorite.
Ann Hodges was taking an afternoon nap on her couch. Unbeknownst to her, a meteorite was fireballing its way across the sky. The chondrite rock fragmented into three pieces during its descent. One of the pieces smashed through her roof and hit Hodges in the hip.
Mrs. Hodges’ luck almost changed when she realized she had a rare toddler-sized fragment of potential money on her living room floor. The United States Air Force helicoptered in and took the rock.
Mr. Hodges husband, hired an attornet and got it back. With $5,000 offers coming in, their landlady Bertie Guy tried to claim it to cover the damages made to the house.
The legal battles, public attention and dwindling offers finally become too much for Hodges and she donated the meteorite to the Alabama Museum of Natural History.
So follow Rose and Pat – the sky is full of meteorites.
Then UFC welterweight Tyron Woodley spends an afternoon at home with his family in Missouri, while welterweight champion Robbie Lawler takes in a baseball game before getting back to work in the gym.
UFC 201 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the world welterweight championship at UFC 201, taking place Saturday, July 30 on Pay-Per-View.
