@skelliher He IS pretty powerful, but that was less a very powerful blow than a perfectly placed one.

@yossgold
these might be market-specific tailored cards but they're still behind a pay wall for the majority of the audience. Therefore the UFC should feel some accountability to those paying for Fight Pass.

Le is such a good striker. I wish he would have started MMA earlier.

Is anyone else reading about Mein's dad getting arrested for sexual battery last night after weigh-ins? 

I saw it on the UG forum, but nowhere reputable.

Cung Le is HUGE!!! If anyone thinks you can get that huge at that age just on "hard work" you've got to be kidding ... especially if he's been recovering from surgery for a lot of that time and couldn't go full blast in the gym ...
