OK, Gustafsson's front flip looked like the kinda shit I do on
the living room floor for lulz, but that knee + hockey fight
punches were A+.

Did Melvin Guillard just try to pull a Chill Dawg?

Nice try, Melvin Guillard. You're not Jamie Varnering your way
out of this.

Prediction: Guillard puts more effort into post-fight talk than
in the rest of the fight. #UFCLondon

Neil Seery looks like he rides a bike with a basket on it, and
rings his bell at the hillside sheep he passes, waving the whole
time.

"One Punch" Pickett has more submissions than knockouts. "2 Tap"
Seery has more knockouts than submissions.

Gunnar Nelson was medically cleared to fight despite a massive
deficiency in fucks to give. Inspiring.

Gunnar Nelson's smile got you feeling all lightheaded,
butterflyish? Make sure you got a Gunnar Nelson condom, perv.

@TheTomasRios
Agreed. Just worry about guys with little KO power throwing single
strikes trying to MacGyver guys into clever takedowns.

There's a Frenchman-surrender-guillotine joke in here
somewhere.

Do you think if you put "Ilir Latifi" into a Swedish-English
translator it comes up "Patrick Cummins?"

So far it's been 3 fights and I've seen poking, slapping and
Green Hair...Am I watching fighting or a rave? #UFC

I had sushi for breakfast and I'm watching UFC at lunch time. I
don't care about propriety. All rules are out the window. Society
is dead.

That exchange at the end of the fight reminded me of the battles
I had with my older sister when I was like 6. I was ahead of the
game

That last flurry, if you can even call it that, basically looked
like a couple of five year olds fighting over a G.I. Joe. Sad.

Totally agree. Great idea. RT @davedoylemma: I'm kind of
digging the British announcers, comes off like a fresh coat of
paint.

Good win for Gaudinot, but did Harris not know he was capable of
that? Gaudinot's only won w/ that move 2X and threatened w/ it many
more.
