Kinda ironic that it was Volk and Merab who showed insane toughness and cardio - and it was Nick Diaz who quit after getting rocked.

The close-up angle on the triangle attempt showed Volk making direct eye contact with Ortega and just saying no.

NEVER

Predictions: 12 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 740 Points   |   Tied for 347th

Never has there been a main card this easy to pick.
People who thought Ortega, Diaz, Murphy, Cavillo or Rozen had a chance were just delusional.

These announcers are so annoying. "That guillotine is tight!" He gets out a second later. "That triangle is tight!" He gets out a second later
