This next fight is the one I've been looking the most for. Ngannou is a monster and if he makes it through Arlovski, he is going to really be looking good.

And it's all over, folk! Damn, this guy's hands are fucking deadly.

I could punch my TV, it would hold up and Arlovski would be out cold.
Haha.

Darn, something came up and I missed everything. What happened with Cerrone?

/edit: just saw highlights on espn, not a good night for him.

Ugh, the FS1 refs are getting worse and worse. These guys are absolute shit. None of them really step in at the bell or stoppage. The fights haven't been amazing either, though the Andrade - Hill was really good.

Looks like 145 just got a bit more interesting. Korean Zombie looked pretty good and should jump back in as a contender.

UFC 208 tomorrow. It isn't a huge card with star power, but it should have some great fights. The main event, even if it is for a silly, made up division is two kickboxers and should be exciting!

He looked pretty awesome, very cool for having been out so long.

Rooting for Holm. She hasn't done well since Rousey, but she works as hard as anyone and is as mentally tough as any of the women. Hopefully she puts it all together (although probably won't need much ground game.)

I'm not invested in who wins, just that the fight is good. I wouldn't mind seeing either win. De Randamie is really likable IMO, so I'm okay with her. Holly as well, and has been on a bit of a downward streak (though, before she got caught by Tate, I had her winning that fight).

I hope Cannonier beats Glover though. That would be ridiculous and I'm rooting for him!

Eh, it's not a huge PPV and the main event is kind of created out of thin air. With that said, the fights so far haven't been awful. Sadly, The Killa Gorilla didn't have enough to stop the take downs and keep the fight on the feet where he was good. This card isn't as bad as most people think, but since when have big name cards actually lived up to the hype?

oh wow.. Anderson Silva is in this one?!

cant believe he's still fighting.
he should have quit after he failed the drug test after coming back from the broken leg.

he's actually a slight underdog in this bout at +$130.
oh how the mighty have fallen... loss after loss.. tarnishing his legacy

I have been listening to the fights more than watching them. I guess its time for a Mountain Dew for the Silva fight.

To be fair, he had to come back from a ridiculous injury. How many guys come back, let alone back to a high level, from something like that?


Also, the refs have been fucking awful lately. Did the old owners take the good refs with them or something?

how the F did Silva win?
and by UNAMIMOUS decision?!?!

what fight were the judges watching?
even Silva raised his opponent's hand after the bell of the last round, signifying that the other guy won.

sheesh.

Brunson was super timid. He landed in the clinch, but it didn't really seem to do damage. I'm a bit baffled about the 30-27 judge, but I could see judges giving him 2 of the 3 rounds.
