wow. Barao passed out while cutting weight. He's out of the fight and Joe Soto will make his UFC debut in the title fight against Dillashaw.

[the dead poet]

wtf. I saw the last embedded and barao was at like 155 hahaha dude should probably move up....but then he'd be in aldo's weight class. I'm going to the USC game tomorrow so I was going to miss it anyways but still bummed.

[the dead poet]

soto just opened up at a 7:1 underdog. tempting to put a bill down. think i will.

[bbatson1]

Bellator and UFC tonight. Two great great cards.

Not sure how i'll watch them since they're on at the same time.

[the dead poet]

just watched both cards. both were pretty damn good.

I knew Hunt would be the first to KO the fat turd.

[bbatson1]

Not going to lie. I didn't think he could put him down.

[Rachel Hobozal]

You and everyone else on planet earth. I thought it would happen deep into the 3rd or 4th, though. Not with 2 minutes left in the 2nd.

[AXEWOUNDFISTER]

who really pays for this fight pass shit? when will dana scrap this?

[the dead poet]

i pay for it. and really like it.

[the dead poet]

^they have the foreign events on it, which is obviously whatever. but the foreign fans love that shit because its on their time zone. I wake up and watch them whenever i want to.

as for everything else, i really dont use their library because I have a 4 tb external with all events from lik eufc 30 on. but their TUF and their originals are worth the 9.99 to me alone not even including the live events/prelims.

[bbatson1]

I pay too. I love it. Definitely worth it.

[AXEWOUNDFISTER]

nice i might have to take your guys word on it..

all i know is i missed 2 ufc cards back to back on this pass

[AXEWOUNDFISTER]

dammm bones jones got fined 50,000 also got dropped from nike because of the scuffle? dc is going to get a beat down when they meet in the octagon hahaha..

[bbatson1]

tonight's going to be dope.

[T Rav]

Three fights in, and this has been a great card so far. Kennedy/Romero fight was pretty fun.
Those shots that Poirier went down to seemed a little weak.

[T Rav]

The way Rogan was hyping McGregor was a little much. I mean I didn't expect him to make Poirier silly like he did, but it was a little nauseating.
Romero sitting to get his compsure back was a little cheap, but the way Kennedy and others are acting like it really affected the outcome of the fight are reaching. The timing of the bell sucked for him, but that's it.

[bbatson1]

great night. I don't mind what happened in the Yoel fight either. Rogan made it a crazy thing and blew it out of proportion. Plus the only reason Kennedy landed his shot is from cheating and holding Yoel's glove so he couldn't block.

Still not sold on Connor but do like the energy he brings to the show. Cruz looked great, but i still think he'll be a boring fighter. The TJ fight is interesting. I want to see it.

Even though Alvarez lost he's still good and look forward to seeing him fight.

[T Rav]

Zigano is a really fun fighter to watch. It would be great it she could beat Rousy.
I honestly don't think I 've seen a boring female fight in the UFC.

[Rachel Hobozal]

I honestly don't think I 've seen a boring female fight in the UFC.

First time viewer I take it?

[T Rav]

Maybe I've been lucky. I've seen about 5 or so of them and don't remember a single snoozer.

[the dead poet]

just caught up with TUF latin america. So far its an awesome season.

[bbatson1]

Cain is out of his fight with Werdum in Mexico. He's injured (again) and it's now Mark Hunt vs. Werdum for an interim title.

[the dead poet]

glad for hunt.


Cain is really pissing me off. Dude has looked sloppy fat on TUF Latin and i'm going to just go ahead and assume the injury stems from it just because i'm pissed off.

[bbatson1]

that main event tonight.

[the dead poet]

yea just finished that main event. great fight. was baffled that a point or at least a warning wasn't issued at the end of the first. but either way was a great fight. got a feeling they'll be fighting eachother again in 2015.

[Beastly Swagger]

1st round combo was started before the bell & the last punch landed as it ended/slightly after it. Most fighters can't stop combos it's muscle memory like one action. Nothing to see there, people blew it out of proportion, Mendes was saved by the bell literally lol.

[the dead poet]

Saint Preux!
