McBride surviving on a decent chin. It can't hold up forever.

While I was sad to see Goldie go, I understood the decision.  But replacing him with this guy? What was the point? He's as awkward and goofy as Goldie, only without the like, 20 years or so of experience with MMA.

McBride is one of the most low-level, undeserving guys on the roster right now. Good thing they got rid of some bums like Mayday, Bader, Rory, Larkin, etc to make room for this man.

Nice win for Holtzman, but McBride is garbage.

Whoah all the fights so far have had really underwhelming fighters -  specially all the fighters on the losing end. Davis and Holtzman can't get rid of their opponents in their setups fights.

Taylor-Penne wasn't good. Schnell got ko'd by hammerfists and Proctor taunted and got ko'd. Not the best quality fights. Looks like better matchuops come from now on though.

Forget all of you. These are the best prospects the UFC has to offer especially the ones without a Wikipedia page. No one's getting cut. I mean... sure... they look terrible today but in a year or two they could very well be headlining cards against Cub Swanson.

I've decided fights like the last one are the worst, because they are neither good nor bad enough to inspire dank memes or emotional outbursts from watchers. 

Holtzman-McBride was the definition of meh.

Wow. I was prepared to compose a post about how MMA will always expose technical deficiencies (in Moreno's case, counter-wrestling.) 

Fantastic performance. His strikes are a little wild, but they've got a lot of speed and snap to them. He's obviously not a front-runner either and adapts as fights progress. 

Lot of potential from this kid. 

DON'T FEED HIM TO THE MOUSE ... yet.
