I'm just glad that everyone who wakes up right now has to read
about an impressive Dong first thing in the morning. #ufc

If I were 8 - when I thought you could legitimately push
someone's nose into their brain to kill them - that KO would've
been even scarier.

A counter spinning back elbow knockout for Stun Gun Kim? Counter
elbow on a an elbow attempt by Hathaway? That is wild.

Kim perhaps prematurely scouting out some cageside talent for
his post-fight celebration.

I totally expected way more wire-fighting from this event. Color
me disappointed.

+100 goes to Mitrione for realizing that Jordan was still hurt
after trying to regroup, flurrying again and getting the R1
buzzer-beater KO.

A lot at stake for these two fighters, not the least of which is
the honor of their respective villages and clans.

The ufc keeps looking for their Yao Ming but they only find
their Dong Fangzhuo's.

Excerpt from memoirs: "My low point came in 2014. It was 6:45am
and I was watching a commercial where Mike Dolce yelled at me about
fitness"

Rumor has it UFC considered booking Bob Sapp for this card but
they opted to air a 15-second UFC Fit commercial instead.
Otherwise, no time.

Thank you for that share, Tristen. I'll go next. Hi, my name is

Can't help but feel like Fedor is fighting later when I wake up
at 3 am for a card.

Wow, that knee was square to the face. Maybe my dreams have come
true and everyone made a secret gentlemen's agreement to use One FC
rules?
