Oh lawd...

If ever there was an event tailor-made for the hardcore fan, this is it. Use it to convert friends, family and everything in between into MMA fanatics. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 6pm ET. Then, switch over to FOX Sports 2 (not FS1) for four more televised prelims at 8pm. Some random other sport BS is on FS1. 

And then it'sssssssss TIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!

Wow, dominant performance by Bermundez, he needs a top 10 guy now, no doubt about it.  I just realized that he's now on a SIX fight winning streak.

He was actually trying to do a shoulder throw.  called an Ippon Seionage in Judo.  It's pretty common in wrestling. Here's a video showing the difference between an arm spin, and shoulder throw.   An armdrag isn't a throw.

@mule, I agree, Jimy wanted out of there, no one's going to complain about that stoppage, especially since Dennis wan't following him down anymore so he had zero chance to pull something out of his ass too.

He's won 6 in a row but the Holloway fight was very close. I have him 19th so a top 10 guy might be a little bit much of a jump.

With that win, I am now 7-0 when picking Dennis Bermudez fights. Picked him in his last 6.. picked Brandao in his UFC debut. KEEP AT IT, DENNIS!!

Zombie will embarrass Dennis.

A little off topic, but could the UFC introduce some sexy, scantily men to hold the round cards?

That twitter **** is annoying. What's funny tho is that Rogan and Goldie don't give 2 ****s about it and it shows when they acknowledge it.
