Khabib is a boss. Hopefully he doesn't come into the Cerrone fight rusty as hell.

Should be no FOTN but instead 4 POTNs: Jedrzejczyk, Dos Anjos, Pearson, & Dariush. 

And Claudia Gadelha should be considered a clear #2 at SW after how close her fight with JJ was compared to tonight's.

Oops. Forgot about Joseph Duffy. I'd give Duffy Pearson's spot but I'll bet they reward Ross over Dariush and I'd disagree with that.

I always considered Gadelha for sure above Esparza even when Carla had the belt, Aguilar too for that matter, which is what made picking Joanna a no-brainer for me.  It's kind of funny how often Gadelha and Esparza's paths have "almost" crossed.  Twice Gadelha was scheduled to fight Esparza for her Invicta title, the first time she broke her nose a week before the fight and had to pull out, then Carla had to pull out of her title fight against Hamasaki making it a fight for a title fight between Hamasaki and Gadelha and Claudia TKO'd Hamasaki.  So Gadelha/Esparza was on again for the title and this time Gadelha was hospitalized with gastroentiritis 24 hours I think before the bout.  Then Gadelha gets in a UFC fight for who gets the next shot at Esparza's title in the UFC against Joanna and she loses a SD (watch it for yourself, I scored it for Gadelha, all 3 Sherdog PBP guys scored it for Gadelha, MMAJunkie scored it for Gadelha, etc.) making a Gadelha/Esparza bout just barely not happen again.  That fight happening is seriously cursed.

That was one of the most powerful knockouts I've seen in awhile, Stout was lucky not to be put out cold.  Pearson sat down on it while taking the time to wind up up his entire body for torque and uncoiled landing flush.  Despite looks that was no regular KO hook, that was thrown to decapitate.  I have to keep watching it again and again....

Such a great event. Both Pettis' lost and Esparza got demolished. Only thing that would have made it perfect is if Roy would have finished Reem at the end of the 3rd.

@Brandt - Even if you had the time and were watching live, you would've been put to sleep before round 3 even started if watching that fight.

I never knew until last night that `white noise` referred to the sounds made by two white heavyweight UFC fighters when grappling against the cage for control.

I always thought white noise was the sound of John McCain chewing.

White noise is actually the sound this guy makes whilst manipulating himself
