Don't care for the undercard but I want to see Cruz win, although 3 years is a long f***ing time. Romero vs Kennedy is tough too call, it's either gonna be an awesome war, or both wrestler's end up negating each other to a boring decision, I pick Tim cause he's got better striking, although Romero could pull an upset guy's a f***ing Olympic silver medalist. Cat kills what's her face Amanda Nuñez on the second round. I'm picking Mcgregor because I think I kinda saw Poirrier backing up from a press face off they had like he's scared of Connor. I think Connor stops him in the third. Main event time, Mighty Mouse wins by apathy lol, I love him I don't get why people use his fights as bathroom breaks.
Edit: oh shit I forgot cowboy vs eddie, I pick eddie by split decision like donald is gonna beat him around for the first round but is gonna get gassed up, his cardio isn't the best.

That's a damn good card, if only the original main would have stayed on. Interested in seeing how Cruz and Alvarez look.

I would be nervous if I was MM, like if he doesn't pulls a big number of buys, he won't ever appear on ppv again, hell he may get relegated to defending the belt on Fight Nights only.

I'm sure MM is always going to be a UFC on FOX headliner at best but at least this time they have at least had the sense to have fights that fans would actually want to see on the main card.

Regardless of the fight result, at least Ebersole's hairrow is better than whatever the hell is on Howard's head.

Was just reading about how Cruz is on the prelims of an event headlined by the last guy he defeated who is currently champion in a division that didn't exist when they fought three years ago. Shit is crazy.

Obviously an early stoppage. Mizugaki was trying to stand and--
I can't even. Dear goodness, the beating. Poor Mizugaki.

Wow! That was a statement right there. 3 years out and he dominates, no pun intended a top ranked guy in 61 seconds. Dillashaw-Cruz will be fun!

"Nah. When I won the title, I got some Edy's ice cream. Best moment ever."

Now that is how you can come back from a 3 year lay off.
Also gotta love how Cruz still finds a way to take a cheep shot at Urijah Faber.

Honestly, I feel like Assuncao got screwed over for a title shot last month, but I think no matter what happens in his fight with Carraway next month, Cruz v. Dillashaw is too good a fight to pass on especially after tonight.

That was easily the best WMMA fight in the UFC to date.
Great win for Kat.
