For those who don't know, there are also fights tomorrow and Friday, so 3 nights of UFC fight cards in a row. (Thursday is fightpass only, no TV. Friday is FS1)
Friday is pretty nice for a free card. Not great, but pretty nice. The last two fights are really good and important for the title picture in those weight classes.
Thursday is.... eh, but if you are watching on Thursday then it means you are a crazy UFC fan who bought fightpass, so you have nothing to complain about. Tomorrow night's card has a couple interesting fights, mostly young potential rising stars, one of them finally facing a test. Sage Northcutt is being brought along slowly, and is fighting another tomato can who he should crush. In the main event, PVZ is finally facing her first real opponent and we'll see what she's got.
Saturday's PPV is completely F'ing absurd, obviously. [Reply]

Also, Aljamain Sterling on the prelims of that card. [Reply]

oh, nice! Why isn't that fight on the main card, its buried deep enough in the prelims that I overlooked it. Anyway, it would be a poor free TV card, but its not bad at all for a fightpass card [Reply]
Holy Crap, Sage Northcutt is crazy-ripped. Wonder if USADA has tested him yet.
edit: In the few months he's been in the UFC, he's already been tested 3 times. So, I guess USADA was also curious after seeing his insane arms and abs.
He is either very good at evading detection, lives in the gym, or both. [Reply]
Northcutt is going to take a flamethrower to Pfister, but I'm rooting for Cody just because of the Embedded. Sage is with his waspy family (including weirdo coke/steroid dealing dad) decorating a Christmas tree in their McMansion while Cody is eating sad salads alone in his apartment with his cat. [Reply]
That was really fucking impressive. The UFC needs to stop babying Sage, give him a real opponent.
In his first fight we saw Northcutt's striking, in this second fight we saw that he's got serious ground game and BJJ. My God, he's only 19. Unless he pops for steroids, he's got a career in the UFC. This kid might be the lightweight champion someday. [Reply]
