[8====D]

I'm predicting hella finishes tonight!

This lineup just reeks of a sleeper card!

 

[Kokoro]

Fight night off to a good start

 

[aceboon]

Damn they had to put his leg in an aircast, should have bailed on that toe hold and tried to get out of the heel hook

 

[So UnThotful]

head kick

 

[Strapped]

Nice stop , well placed kick . That boy needs to go to florida to train with Rashad & usman

 

[THEREALBRAND]

That fighter from Uzbekistan last week wasn’t playing when he said the Uzbeks were about to make some noise in the sport

 

[THEREALBRAND]

That was a great scrap

 

[LastManStanding]

Bisping is fukkin ridiculous ... there is absolutely NOTHING "close" about this fight

Petroski arguably won round one 10-8 .... definitely won round two 10-9 .... and as typing this he just finished the fight via TKO

Bisping wanted this fight to be "1-1" going into that third round so badly, he straight up lied to the audience about it being "close"

that Gillmore dude is absolute TRASH and should not be given a UFC contract ... he's now 6-4 in MMA ... got his ass kicked in the first round of The Ultimate Fighter and now got completely destroyed tonight .... where do they find some of these bums?

Zhang Weili getting a rematch off a first round KO and she only defended it once and that win was debatable

 

[Chef]

I ain’t mad at that MSG card. Good chance of fukkery.

 

[InstantKlassik]

Huge fight for Kevin Lee. He might have to go to Bellator he lose this

 

[InstantKlassik]

Rodriguez and these prison tats

 

[LastManStanding]

Zhang Weili getting a rematch off a first round KO and she only defended it once and that win was debatable

it should have been Carla Esparza ... she's on a five-fight win streak AND submitted Rose Namajunas to win that title back in 2014. Rose vs Esparza is 100% the title fight that SHOULD be happening next.

Weili got KO'd and should have to fight and get at least one more win before getting an immediate title shot, but the UFC is trying to get that China market.

Lee's striking still stiff and robotic
