For those who might be casual fans of the sport, Ronda Rousey is gone, Conor McGregor is not going to be a champ anytime soon, and the heavyweight champ (DC) while a good guy, isn't a draw unless Brock Lesnar is in the picture. So, this actually might be one of the most high-profile, compelling UFC fight cards of the year.

[raybec 4]

Don't let Smith's middling record fool you. He's capable of being a real challenge to anyone but Jones.

[Bwana]

I honestly don't see Smith having a shot at taking out Jones.

[Iowanian]

Askren-lawler is the fight I want to see.

Always liked watching lawler fight but I'm an askren fan.

[ChiliConCarnage]

Was listening to Ariels radio show. Michael Chandler was on.. hes got two former Mizzou wrestling brothers matched up against two current gym mates. Tough spot

[alnorth]

OK, here we go!!!

The curtain-jerker for this fight card is walking out now.

[Titty Meat]

HERE


WE


GO!

[Titty Meat]

Anyone got a link recommendation for the ppv fights?

[Iowanian]

I. Hope Stephens knocks the bear off of that Amish commie.

[ChiliConCarnage]

well uh, wow

[TribalElder]

did the ufc fight last longer than 10 minutes?

[Iowanian]

Askren lawler is coming up.

Good fights so far.

[SPchief]

If Askren gets any shot to get him to the ground, I think it's over

[SPchief]

ooohhh

[Iowanian]

Lawler looked out to me but I think that's a bad stop.

I thought he had askren stopped at 30 seconds.

Wanted askren to win but I would have liked to see 15 minutes of that fight.

[SPchief]

Bad stop. Probably would've still ended that way. Pretty bad interview after

[alnorth]

That was a very tough fight for Herb Dean to ref, I cant give him a strike for that one.

[Iowanian]

I lost my stream. Would like to see woodly and usman but oh well.

I ink that's how the askren fight would have ended eventually but wish it was not controversial.


I think askren isn't clear in the head...I think his brain is still rattled from getting dropped on his head. I expected a better post fight....he's not "right". I watch a lot of his wrestling stuff about kids and he is a good communicator. He wasn't there

[jd1020]

After Lawler dropped his arm and Herb Dean picked it up to see if he was out Lawler held his arm up and I thought gave a small thumbs up. That was a terrible stop.

[Titty Meat]

Fuck the MUron

[Titty Meat]

Go Woodley just because this guy from a third world shithole stole Okoyes nickname

[SPchief]

That was a very tough fight for Herb Dean to ref, I cant give him a strike for that one.


Probably no one can. It was a bad stop, but anyone could see where he came from live on it.

[alnorth]

Probably no one can. It was a bad stop, but anyone could see where he came from live on it.

Yeah, after the fact it was clearly a bad stop, but in the fight, it was just a terrible no win situation, I would have done the exact same thing as Herb Dean.

I saw that replay several times, and I'm like yeah, it sucks but the best ref in the world made the same call I would have made in that same situation. It sucks, but there was nothing we could do about it.

[jd1020]

Dana White rooting for Usman so he can trade Woodley afterwards.

[alnorth]

Usman probably won that first round

[Titty Meat]

This is an ass kicking

[Titty Meat]

Mizzou fighters are pussy

[jd1020]

2 out of his last 3 fights Woodley has been boo'd out of the octagon and Dana already hates him. He has to be done in the UFC.

[SPchief]

Coked out of his mind

[Titty Meat]

Last few fights have been zzzz

[kstater]

Yeah, after the fact it was clearly a bad stop, but in the fight, it was just a terrible no win situation, I would have done the exact same thing as Herb Dean.



I saw that replay several times, and I'm like yeah, it sucks but the best ref in the world made the same call I would have made in that same situation. It sucks, but there was nothing we could do about it.That's the way I see it. It's a no win situation there.
