Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

Wandy vs Mark Hunt was a great fight too.

5 or 6 years ago, I would agree.

The reactions from Bas Rutten and Randy Couture on commentary make that move even better.

This is starting to get really pathetic. Johny Hendricks missed weight again..... at freaking middleweight. 188, so missed by 2 full pounds.

edit: lol

That was absolutely hilarious.

This wasn't fair for the kid, he should have been fighting another guy making his debut or someone with fewer than 5 fights in a B-league.

This is why B-leagues exist, to introduce hot prospects slowly and get them going. Throwing this kid at a veteran was incredibly stupid. At least the UFC waited for Sage to win a few fights before signing him.

Not only that but to hype him in the fashion they did was ridiculous...Schaub was saying earlier he could beat any top 10 guy in the world earlier.

New York fucking sucks at officiating MMA, lol

The ref absolutely should have stopped the fight right there, that was fine so I have no problem with the result, but this idiot thought he could call a time-out like with a deep cut or something.

This PPV is absolutely hilarious.

We were ***THIS*** close to a double-KO, the rarest thing in combat sports. Mitrione and Fedor hit each other right on the chin at the same time, both went down. Fedor was hurt, but Mitrione wasn't and scrambled to his feet for the finish.

This is nuts.

Much better than whatever the UFC has put out in recent memory.

yeah, this was definitely worth $50 at this point, even if Sonnen-Silva ends up being terrible.

Oh, and a young Gracie won a fight in the modern days of MMA. Crazy!
