OK. That's the last time I wanna see Ben compete in MMA. He had some fun fights a few years ago, but at this point in his career he's getting staggered with almost any shot that touches him.

The Immortal!!!!  I was worried for a minute there!  Thought he was gonna get triangled!  Saunders chin is non existent at this point.  Matt should retire tonight tho, go out on top because he is definitely a few steps slower, a top 30 guy would wreck him!
Unless they rebook the Condit fight, or maybe Dan Hardy if he makes that comeback he's been threatening

If @Fistrat's predictions so far are any indication of the main card, upsets a coming.
