Biggest win of Walt Harris' career! Good for him, good stoppage by the ref.

Nice win for Walt Harris.  I picked East, but Harris needed that win.  Good on him.

I said East doesn't belong in the UFC and picked Walt KO-1 iirc...I always disliked East because of his interviews and being a d-bag well before I found out he was a convicted ******,or **** charges or whatever happened.

Considering east's background i wouldn't have minded an extra hammer or two ... just one or two for measure

Jones' skills out class OSP's, but I've liked OSP's attitude leading up to this. He's going to throw some dangerous **** Jones' way, and hey, you never know.

Miguel Torres gets cut for a **** joke, East gets a contract without beating anyone except underage kids. Good job zuffa, hope you get tons of negative PR for this.

If possible would be nice to see ufc mix it up with commentary more often like this ... waiting for the day when it's Rogan , Goldberg, and Nate Diaz on the mics , what about a Rogan and Diaz bros special commentary ( well one can dream)
