Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

God, Werdum looks fat and slow. Nothing like the fight against Cain. Shit he's afraid to engage with a one armed man. Not impressed.

Yeah, he sat on an obvious lead in the last round, so its understandable that the crowd might be unhappy about that, but they were angry with Werdum for continuing in that weird "I call time out, ref not stopped yet" situation which was bullshit in the first place because the ref is not supposed to stop the fight in that situation. Werdum had every right to keep fighting just like when Silva blasted Bisping when he was complaining to the ref about his mouthpiece.

they are booing Werdum and he's trying to say something that's important to him then they show a shot of Forest Griffin and that kid that thinks he can beat Cruz lol and the crowd pops

[alnorth]

Nothing personal Miocic, but you gotta be sacrificed to the Reem now to atone for the sins of your hometown crowd.

Exactly. His goal is to get that belt back. He's not risking a freak KO. He was still pretty active anyway, just wasn't going for the kill.

I just realized that Overeem came out to the Pride theme. I was wondering why it was familiar.

Yeah, of course. The fight should been over and I thought Werdum looked impressive until that point.

He gassed himself on the ground then danced around for two rounds with a guy who didn't throw a right hand for two rounds. He looked nothing like a guy ready for the next Title fight.

[alnorth]

well shit.

Oh well, Miocic definitely earned that win. No hate for him, Cleveland doesn't deserve him.

[alnorth]

The first four fights were not good at all. That main event upgraded this PPV from "shit" to "a bit below average"

[thabear04]

When Overeem caught him the first time he should of just keep punching him instead of trying to choke him out.

[Jerm]

Werdum front kicking Edmund was the greatest....what a whacky ass night even by UFC standards....

[alnorth]

oh no, Overeem, you can't do that.

edit: nope, no ****ing tap.

[mcaj22]

LOL this is a clownshow card with these post fight antics

[Buck]

Overeem

Way to look like a jackass in front of a million people.

[alnorth]

Welll..... it was entertaining, thats for sure.

We did not see a martial arts clinic at all, but it was kind of fun, and funny to watch that silly shit in the last 3 fights.
