PVZ finally tapped. 5th round, PVZ gassed (with probably sore arms) and Rose had that choke just undeniably locked in. PVZ had to tap or go to sleep.

Hell yeah.
Hopefully they tweet the scorecards for that fight later tonight. I could easily see 50-43 if not 50-42. A complete domination. PVZ is tougher than I gave her credit for. |

That was an awesome fight. If it went the distance it may have been 50-43, Rose just destroyed that young rising star.
I know that the obvious fight is Joanna Champion vs Claudia Gadelha, but with this impressive destruction of PVZ, I think "thug" Rose has to get the next shot at the winner of that fight.

I say give Gadhela another shot at Joanna, and give Namajunas a rematch against Torres if she wins on Saturday.

If the brutal, deadly Polish chick keeps her belt and Rose beats Torres, then we've got a fight that is at least worthy of being a high-profile PPV co-main

I just don't understand the haters who say that women's MMA is not entertaining, I loved that fight, it was great. I really don't see a difference between a flyweight or bantamweight men's fight, and a women's top-10 MMA fight.

Everyone made weight. The staredown was tame by Conor's standards.
edit: Aldo hilariously mocked McGregor's usual fight stance

Yesterday at the press conference Conor bowed to Jose after their staredown. He's also a lot calmer in these interviews. I think it's finally hit him that he's fighting one of the best p4p fighters who has had about a year to prepare for him. |

Have to agree with Iole. That featured prelim was the worst UFC fight I have ever seen. Near the end, I was no longer annoyed and was laughing at how terrible this fight was.

I think Mendes can stuff enough of Edgar's takedowns to keep it standing long enough to eventually catch him with his power, especially with the small cage again. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Edgar wins a decision.
I think Ferguson is too smart to stay in Barboza's range. I think he'll crack Edson and then submit him late. |

Here's a thought: do you guys think we could start a UFC 194 thread?
I don't think most UFC events should get their own thread because there's really not many of us who care, but this one is so overhyped that it may be the exception to the rule. Tomorrow's card is basically the "super bowl" for the UFC this year. I was talking to people at work today who don't follow MMA AT ALL, and even they all heard of Conor McGregor and were sort of curious about how he'd fare, so his notoriety has clearly broken out of our small MMA circle and into general pop culture. Hell, boxing fans had their stupid Mayweather threads, so I think we should have at least one thread a year too. If the rest of you don't think the idea is stupid, I can start the thread after midnight.
