I saw that Kimbo is going to fight Shamrock.

What state is going to license Shamrock? Dude is like 51 and I think has been stopped in the first round his last 5 fights which were all years ago.

Seems like he would be a danger to himself at this point and I am amazed any commission is going to deem him fit to fight.

Roy Nelson is a man's man, but he shouldn't be on PPV's.

Esparza had zero chance with such a reach and height disadvantage.

Dos Angos completely dominated however I don't feel he will hold the title for long as the Russian is coming! He'll end Cerrone's streak then take the belt.

Can't believe how bad RDA dominated Pettis. Always said thought that the way to beat Pettis is to back him up, pressure and take his space away. Really great fight card, Reem looked outstanding imo.

I thought Reem still just looked Meh. Big Country looks done he feel in love with his huge right hand and gave up on some of the things he does best.

The way RDA crushed Pettis was crazy. Looking back Pettis really only landed a good maybe 15 kicks to the body and a couple punches the whole fight. I'm glad Carla lost I couldn't stand her on TUF.

I think those shots Reem landed on Roy would have finished anyone else, Roy just isn't human.

Travis Brown is a hell of an athlete and very mobile and he couldn't avoid them.

The new strawweight champ hits freaking hard for a 115 lb woman. Best striking by far of any woman in the UFC. If she can keep sprawl and brawling she will be champ for awhile.

I disagree, love watching Roy fight. KO could come at any moment watching him.

I think they said she was a 6 time world muay thai champ.

I watched some of the fights last night.

Carla looked horrible when she could not get the take down. That was a really ugly fight for her, but JJ looked great. JJ also has a fun/cute personality and people seem to be taking a liking to her.

Dos Anjos is a straight beast. I hate the question PED's already, but he just son'd Pettis. That was a physical domination.

Rafael Cordeiro might be the best trainer in the game.

I hope they make Pettis vs Nate Diaz in Mexico City, that would be awesome.

it just depends if Pettis wants to get right back into title contention. Fighting Diaz, who has lost three out of four probably won't do that. I was thinking Michael Johnson for Pettis, but Diaz would be a fun fight.

Pettis vs Barboza would be another awesome fight, two kick boxers.
