Hell yeah, probably the standard $3 off at the box office! lol
But this is ****ing sick. School won't be in session, but I'll definitely have to make the trip up for this, provided the tickets aren't too ridiculously expensive.

Ouch...
Interesting that FightMetric scored it a draw. I somewhat considered that when I was thinking of the scoring before the decision. I guess they gave Cerrone round 1 and Henderson a 10-8 round in round 2 or 3.
Had to be frustrating for him. I've been in that situation, only the reason the other guy didn't tap was my submission wasn't as strong as I thought it was. In this case, Cerrone had those locked in tight.
And that explains what he was complaining about in the middle of the fight. Not sure why he thought that he knocked him out from his back though.
Just rewatched round 1. Cerrone threw that guillotine immediately in the fight and held it for like the first 2 minutes before Henderson got out. Then he controlled Cerrone with his wrestling. Henderson was a fairly clear winner in round 1 in retrospect, imo.
There were 2 deep, deep guillotines, 1 or 2 nasty looking triangles, and 2 kimoras that looked like Henderson's arm would literally rip off at the shoulder. And all he did was sit there and give the ref thumbs up. So incredible.
Very nice, Henderson by unanimous decision. I have no idea how he got out of those. Jesus look at that eye. I think that was from one of those up kicks.
Awesome fight. Well worth the rest of the card.
Main event coming up now. Hope Henderson brings his A game, Cerrone is tough. Henderson might be my favorite "up-and-coming" fighter, so I'm really pulling for him here.

Didn't see this posted in here yet. WEC has Henderson/Cerrone on Saturday. Should be a good fight. Not sure who takes it, but I'm guessing Henderson by submission in the 2nd.
Well I think that most of us on here agree that fight should have been stopped with that much blood (though it was staying out of his eyes, so still debatable). Still should have at least called timeout and let the doc look at it during the 1st round. With a cut that huge he shouldn't have been allowed to go back out in the 2nd.
Most of the time a cut anywhere near that serious will get a stoppage. This one seemed out of the ordinary. Not sure how that makes the whole sport "barbaric."
That was horrible.
Thing is I liked Rampage's selections at first (besides Kimbo) based on the 30 seconds of evaluations they did lol.
I thought that really tall guy (former NFL player) looked like he could be pretty good. He was certainly bigger than anyone else, and looked to be in really good shape. And then he got his ass kicked by Rampage's conditioning test. :doh:
I think that Greg Jackson sitting there with Rashad basically pointing out which fighters he wanted will end up making all the difference this season. Tonight made me wonder if his team can actually go undefeated...
