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!

It was a really good fight, but sealing it via takedown... that is just emblematic of how MMA has gone wrong.

Hmm.... Johny's intentions were clear in that last round. He tried to stall at the start of the round against the cage, Dan stopped it and when he hurt Robbie he executed his original intention. 

One of the ever disappointing aspects when it comes to judges and wrestling but irregardless, that was one hell of a fight and Robbie added to his very healthy stock. He's one fight away from a rematch if he doesn't get an immediate one..

I mean looking at it, is there anyone more or as deserving right now to fight Hendricks next than the Robbie Lawler that we just watched? I say no.

It's not that wrestling is inherently bad or boring it's just that the rendition of MMA wrestling has been adapted to a stalling and unexciting style.   Watching folkstyle and freestyle is rather exciting.

What's with Joe ****ting on Hector? He dominated him. He looked better against Jake than anyone has recently. It's hard to look good against Jake.. and Lombard did.

Rory fighting for the belt next, Joe? What?!? Rory should fight winner of Brown/Silva first off. Hector/Tyron should fight for title shot. Get off Rory's ****, Rogan.
