Its going to be a light weekend, but there are fights tonight.
Thursday
8pm - (Sherdog.com) - Tachi Palace Fights 32
Judging by tapology, this looks slightly below average by local promotion standards.
Saturday
7pm TV - (6pm Fightpass/7pm FS1) - UFC Fight Night Pettis vs. Moreno
This is also a bit below average by UFC standards, but you are going to watch it anyway. Why? Because after this weekend, the UFC takes the entire rest of August off.

Yeah, but he wasn't really struggling, he was just running and kept Cormier away by simply extending an arm and pushing away.
For that much of a reach difference, Cormier would have had to either ground and pound it or just continue diving in even closer and more persistently than he did in the fight. Jones also kept tagging his lead leg to stop his advance.
IMO, it was a boring fight because of how Jones fought it. [Reply]

If anyone out there with fightpass hasn't watched one of these yet and are wondering if any of them is worth your time, its this one. Week 5, watch this one. Skip the first fucking fight unless you wanna see a sad heavyweight give up, but after that, man these were good fights.
In other news, Rose did a thing for Women's health that some say is NSFW. But is it really? If its really not safe for work, then it wouldn't be on newsstands.
I guess everyone is afraid of preseason football. I had to dig pretty deep.
There are a bunch of fights this weekend on Flocombat, but I'm not paying to watch B-league MMA outside of fightpass, and those idiots charge more than what Fightpass charges. ($150/year last I checked) Only reason I even have Fightpass is for early UFC prelims.
Friday Night/Saturday Morning
2am - (Youtube) - Road FC
Didn't look it up, because no way I'm watching C-league Korean MMA before dawn.
Sunday
10pm - (Youtube) - Grachan 30
Based on tapology rankings, this is really bad even by local promotion standards.
This is cool, during his workout Mayweather noticed Esther Lin was stuck near the back behind other photographers, so he stopped, walked up to her, and pulled her up to the front to shoot right in front of him.
