@Rubio, same. I just really dislike Dillashaw, Pettis and Browne.

Really Ed? I disagree. I think Cruz's talk is some of the best because of how quick witted he is. All his off time working as an analyst has helped make him snappy with comebacks.

29-28 Barroso but if there were ever a winning fighter cut or a short-notice fighter who didn't get a 2nd fight this would be it.

That fight was Mutapcic's for the taking ... Barroso did nothing but throw slow, sloppy one-shots ... I don't know if it was the short notice, not wanting to get KO'd on his debut or his piece of crap mouth piece messing with him, but it looked like he just couldn't get going. 72'' reach at 205 doesn't help either.

Font's striking is deadly.. not a good night for debuts, let's hope Bochniak changes that!

Nice job by Font. Showed very little ring rust surprisingly.
