ONE can't be happy with these signings so far....Northcutt and Alvarez both losing in pretty brutal fashion.
Thought Sage had left for Hollywood!
New season.
T-Wood is it of his fight against Lawler. Injury.
Hopefully Ponzinibio gets the fight.
Prelims started.
Man what a headkick KO. JUlian Erosa dead.
This guy looks like Tyson Fury's drunken little brother
what a comeback by Cummings.
Why do I feel like I’m at barber shop in 1893 when Cummins is on
this guy fighting next...
Oh my days
HOLY SHIT
What a UFC debut, crazy fecker.
Too late for Hubbard. He can take a shot though.
Yes! Beautiful KO punch Oliveira
Do Bronx looking better than ever. Always fun fights with him.
The guy Dana signed in his last "looking for a fight" episode, is fighting Luque on short notice next.
Don't miss if you want to see a corpse on the octagon.
edit. Wasn't as vicious, but at least was fun.

The co-main event was good fun. Heinisch is pretty good.
RDA vs Kevin Lee (WW debut) next.
RDA vs Kevin Lee (WW debut) next.
RDA largely in control throughout. Deserved win. Lee falls short again against elite opposition.
RDA is class (on his day). His takedown defense was impressive tonight.

Kevin Lee slowly becoming the Adrien Broner of MMA. All talk, yet generally loses the big fights in which he is involved. Hard to ascertain where he should go from here, he’s caught in an unfortunate position as I don’t see him having anything to trouble the elite guys at Lightweight and Welterweight, respectively.
Lee has been exposed as a bit of a cardio-less one trick pony. Hope he recovers and goes back into training to work out how to become less one dimensional.
I think he needs to move to a better/bigger gym, where he would be just one more, instead of the top dog in a familiar setting. His game hasn't really evolved how it should (one trick pony as you say), specially for a 26 year old, who should be showing improvements fight after fight. Never mind his cardio issues.
He's just not as good as he thinks he is. There's much to improve and yeah I suppose moving to a new gym, would be a start. It's not too late for him.
I think it's a bit harsh to compare him to Broner. Broner doesn't seem to take boxing seriously anymore and seems to be just doing it for the money. Lee seems to take it seriously and does try, he just has flaws in his game.
His cardio is a massive issue really he seems to constantly gas out and it's a huge problem for him. I do think he needs to switch camps the advice he got in between rounds was awful and he probably is some what affected cos his other coach killed himself, they did seem close.
I hope he moves camps and the UFC gives him some lesser ranked opposition, going to WW and fighting RDA first is a bit crazy really, they should of built him up in that division a bit slowly, he is still only 26 so can come back pretty easily from this but it will take time I think/.
I thought it was a good move as RDA is more of a LW fighting at WW. Lee feels more like a WW who was fighting at LW. Lee needs to go back to the drawing board and work on his cardio and fight IQ.
Yeah fair shout, just thought with Lee being a young fighter they'd want to ease him up, get used to the weight etc. RDA as comparison has had 6 WW fights now and his first 2 fights were Saffiedine and Magny, that's a bit easier than going in and facing RDA straight away.
Dana probably paid the CSAC officials with the change of what the Abu Dhabi officials paid him.
feck me... Please MMA gods, save the division, let the Eagle to get knocked the feck out by the Diamond.
Ouch!
Knee to the head is the scariest thing in this sport.
