Potential don't mean **** really. Gotta turn that into something eventually, or else you wind up being 30 years old and still having potential. Not good.

Why hasn't Sergio dropped to flyweight in the UFC yet? It doesn't look like he would have a tough weight cut.

Edit: Well I just looked up he's 5 ft 6 so maybe it was a tough cut for him.

Decent first round for Hodor, but I think Pettis probably took it. Also, why was I dumb enough to pick Hodor by decision? His name is Pettis, if the fight is remotely close the judges are probably gonna give it to him. War Hodor.

All right, how do we score that round.  

I think I know how Rogan scored it.  

And I think I know how the judges scored it.

Pettis looks like a flyweight ... he gives up so much size and reach at 135, he should seriously think about moving down.

Tough round to score Hobar got that early KD but Pettis won the striking overall. Hobar got the TD and was on top but the sub attempts and up kicks from Pettis.
