Holy fucking shit that was awesome! WOW

They both have some of the most disgusting face injuries, though.

Mendes you're about to get your ass whooped

Sinéad O'Connor & Foggy Dew just sealed it

fuck 'Merica, I'm Irish today

[nepg]

The Conor McGregor shit is so drummed up. I can't stand Mendes, but I hope Chadbro gets the KO and ends this ridiculous hype train that UFC has put on for Conor McGregor.

[fenikz]

I would have taken a point from Mendes he is just clawing at the cut, that's not part of MMA

Mendes 1-0

[nepg]

I blame UFC for making me be happy about wrestlefucking.

[fenikz]

I anticipate some sort of tribute in Rousey's entrance tomorrow.

I wish the women's division was better, but at least Ronda properly rolls her non-competitive competition, unlike Mighty Moose. 125 is bunk outside of Johnson and Dodson. Does Meisha Tate still fight? She's the only one they have who gives Ronda trouble.

They really need to get Cyborg. That should be their December event.

Tate is fighting Ronda next, for the third time... Hopefully then Tate can go back to rolling the other girls and Ronda gets Cyborg

i'd love to see joanna jedrzejczyk and rousey but they won't match weight. that'd be the dream women's matchup. cyborg's gonna keep ducking rousey and i would too.

Gadelha v Joanna is going to be a great rematch, arguably Gadelha won the first one.

After the Tate fight, assuming Ronda wins, she needs to move up in weight class. There is no more competition for her where she is. I get that she doesnt want to go up to fight Ms Juice herself Cyborg but at some point rolling over the same competition repeatedly is going to kill her (Ronda's) draw.

I think after Tate we get Rousey vs Holm, we all know how that will go, but for the casual viewer much like Correia, it is another undefeated challenger. There's always going to be new blood or an angle I think, she'll wait for Cyborg to come down or not do it at all.

I don't know, I feel like she is 2-3 fights away from what I like to call GSP syndrome. GSP title fights inevitably got so damn boring. He was just so dominant it wasnt fun, you knew how every fight would go. But at the same time he was completely unwilling to change up competition and weight class.

Im just really bored of Ronda's 30 second challenge-less victories. I think her next opponent should be Urijah Faber, now there is a fight !

[nepg]

The thing that was awful about GSP is he started fighting way too safe, and would never try to finish anyone. Boring as shit.

[UKfan]

Called Rousey vs Holm, they just skipped the Tate fight first.

And for me I loved watching GSP first, I understand the criticism, but the way he perfectly adapted and mixed up his game to frustrate and time his opponents was just mesmorising for me, at his peak he was a machine.
