And I have very few decisions on this card. There might be more than I have but at least there's a possibility of a very high finish rate tonight.

Well regardless of what the AD is you quickly hate it because it's a rerun of the same ads every single break for like 7 hours.

I love how Buffer mumbles through names when he's struggling with them. Reminds me of Evil Dead 3. "Platoo....verataa..."

Yes she can.

I have to commend the UFC for their ability to use the clapper at the 10 second mark. Having watched regional promotions for years at this point I've learned that that can be a very hard feat to pull off.
