Comparing someone being transgender to a guy beating his wife in front of his 9 year old kid is one of the absolute ******* dumbest things I've seen in a while. Reading something that dumb costs me almost as many brain cells as getting head kicked by Cro Cop would.

@PilloryChoke Not sure it's a comparison of the acts so much as it's just an observation about society.

Okay, I'm going to resist the temptation to get into that conversation and just say WAR THOMSON..even though I picked Ferguson.

Why is Joe Martinez doing this fight card instead of Bruce Buffer?  Not that I have a problem with it.  I'm just interested as to why Martinez is filling in for Buffer tonight.

I always though Thompson could've been so much better, even though he's had a nice career.

Very tough round to score. I think I'd give it to Ferguson.

Fergusson is good on the ground, but if he keeps flailing his limbs around Thomson is going to mount him.
