This noise kicks off at 1am ET, dark and early, or dark and late. Idk. 

I don't expect to be covering this live, so if there's a savage contrib who wants to toss live results in with a better time zone than I, feel free! Otherwise, I'll toss them in in the morning. 

Enjoy!

Depressing main event, but I haven't had this much fun watching an MMA event yet in 2015. Great card. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Time to do it all over again in two days.
