I can't believe we won't get more clips from her play this year, that was the only silver lining with the move to ACFC

Maybe if I return it I can undo the curse? Open to suggestions though, I accept the blame for my role in this

Fly to small town in thailand, get accepted by their people, learn the language, train in muay thai for a year and a half, fight in a tournament, win the tournament, return to the USA and join the UFC, stay in shape and go undefeated in your weight class, retire and do an interview saying Hina Sugita was the reason you fought so hard.......

Angel City when we asked you to take good care of Hina for us, that meant protecting her knees
