I agree.

 

Looks like we'll get Chael Vs Wanderlei Silva in Bellator. At MSG.

 

Well BJ Penn has decided not to pack it in as ESPN's reporting he will be facing Dennis Siever on UFC Fight Night on June 26.

 

The Gastelum/Anderson Silva fight is off because Gastelum got popped for pot on his drug test he took the day of his fight with Belfort.

 

Uriah Faber was announced as the first inductee into the 2017 UFC HOF tonight.

Patrick Cote and Rumble both retired after their losses tonight.

 

what a stupid fight plan by rumble really trying to wrestle with dc really some weird things going on in that blokes head

 

Thing is, Rumble was a wrestler before he discovered he had the power to knock people the **** out. He probably thought he could fall back on that background once knocking DC out in the first round didn't work.

 

Oh anybody seen Paige VanZant's appearance on celebrity Chopped last week? *cough*@heels1785*cough*

 

You're welcome!

 

They announced on the Fox Sports Weigh - in that Jacare has signed a new 8 fight deal with the UFC.

 

Nelson got lucky with the bell, he was getting hammered by his opponent.

 

That Souza stoppage was crap, at what point was he out or not intelligently defending?

I don't know, he was rolling onto his stomach when the fight was stopped.

 

Dear FOX, next time don't schedule a Fight Night on the same night Doctor Who premieres. No love, me.

 

He was going to his stomach, but he wasn't out of it by any stretch of the imagination.

Johnson ties the record.

 

Nice finish, he still won't get any respect from the UFC though.

Ronda Rousey and Travis Browne announced they are engaged.

 

miesha tate fell victim to phone hacking. her private photos were leaked.

 

I think OSP was telling Dana he wants the next shot at Cormier.

 

I thought he was asking for an extension. After losing three fights in a row and looking out of shape in his last fight, he was probably in danger of being cut if he lost.

Diego got destroyed. Might be time for him to retire, but he likely won't realize it until he gets knocked out a couple more times.

I've never seen Lauzon so gassed, so early, and for no apparent reason. Might be time for him to retire, too. He seems like a smart, self-aware guy, so he might come to the same conclusion after watching the fight. It was bizarre, because he spent most of the first round on top, and landed some vicious ground and pound. Wouldn't expect him to be so gassed after that. Stevie Ray landed some good body shots in the second round, but Lauzon was already gassed before that. Maybe I missed something. He looked like he was fighting with a broken rib or something.

Oh, and Brandon Moreno, the kid from the last season of TUF, has now won his first three fights in the UFC.
