Unforgiven

I can't quite decide if it was an early stoppage or he was truly out for an instant and just didn't realize it. Herb Dean jumping it definitely helped Fedor recover.

this ref couldn't be more incompetent

Wow, yeah that guy shouldn't be refing MMA fights. You need zero training to realize she was out long before he checked to stop it.

I had it 4-1 Cruz. A great card tonight. 'Very good fights.

Yeah, I agree 49-46 for Cruz. It was one of the better PPVs I've seen in a while.

Nice to see they had time to sneak in Melvin's fight between fights where people that missed it could see it.

yea very good card tonight including the prelims. still kinda bummed about wand getting ko'd that quick though.

Yeah, it's unfortunate to see Silva get the quick beat down.

I think he may want to consider hanging it up honestly. He's been on a steady decline for the most part the past 5 years and with his style it's just not going to rebound for him. One of the all time greats though.

Yeah, it was obvious decision for Cruz imo, but that 50-45 is a little nuts.

Just fyi, in the first round...that knockdown was mostly due to Cruz lifting his knee as Faber came in....not so much to Faber landing a really damaging shot.

Cruz won.

He landed more shots at a higher percentage, had much cleaner takedowns and was clearly the aggressor through most of the fight.

Yeah, this is very close....at this point I have Cruz up 3-1 but it seems other people are seeing a bit differently.

I have it 2-0 Cruz so far, but I'm a bit bias against Faber.

What do you guys have?

Wost ref in all MMA gets the main event, figures.

Off topic, but it's blasphemy to remake Conan, especially using gimmicky 3d.

Silva is now 2-6 in his last 8 fights...yeah....

Stick a fork in Silva.

I respect the hell out of the man but he's lost way more than he's won the past 5 years.

Bad decision.

Well damn, the last 2 fights went the total opposite of what I expected...at this rate Faber might have a chance...ugh..

Holy ****

Tito...damn...

boxingguru is back up...just fyi.

Wow, very nice win by Condit. That knee was sick.

Dana White via Twitter: "Ko of the night cheick kongo, sub joe lauzon, fon oliveira vs lentz all get 50k each!!! Great night of fights from top to bottom"

For a second there I thought it was going to be a dual KO with both of them laid out. Kongo was so wobbly when he landed that knockout on Barry, was sure he was about to fall out too.

Holy hell, that was just insane...

Everyone who wins is cursing on basic cable, then instantly catching themselves and panicing about being fined.

lol...Mitrione drops him and just turns and walks away before the ref says anything.

Ariel Helwani tweets:

" Here's what Greg Sirb, the executive director of the PA commission, said regarding Nate Marquardt:

Nate failed the medical requirements for the fight and was put on suspension by the PA athletic commission until he provides a medical ...

report showing that he's satisfied those requirements. He was given every opportunity to meet the requirements ...

... up until Saturday at 3 pm. The Athletic commission is not free to disclose what requirements he failed to meet.

The suspension is indefinite. As soon as Marquardt can provide what they are looking for, he will not be suspended anymore. ...

Of course, I tried to ask multiple times why he failed the test, but Sirb said that was all he was going to discuss and the rest is up to NM

"

lol...Dana White doesn't mess around.

Imagine if the NFL was ran the way he runs the UFC.

Yeah, I checked bloodyelbow like 2 minutes ago and noticed that.

The weight cut did him in most likely.

I think Overeem would beat Brock easily

Out of all the UFC HWs for him to face, Brock would be the most interesting matchup to me. I might favor Overeem a little for the big punch factor, but Lesnar has the size to keep him on the ground if it got there.

Overeem looked so so slow in that fight and I think Velasquez or JDS would just pick him apart with speed easily.
