I'm looking forward to it solely based on how her opponent pissed her off, so there might be some real brutality this time. I'll be cheering for a bone getting ripped through the skin.

I don't think Ronda has devastating hands, but no one can avoid getting thrown, NO ONE. I think her hands are good enough to get her hands on you, then it's over.

Fuuuuuuucccckkkkk! It's 12:30 in the morning, and there are still two fights on this card. 7 fights on a main card is two too many.

I just turned it on. The Rua/Nogueira fight hasn't even started. Why the hell is it so behind?

The two TUF Brazil fights had to be moved to this card due to visa issues.

It was 34 seconds. Everyone knew this was probably Rhonda's easiest fight in the UFC in terms of opponent

That girl is scary, and keeps getting better. Sign Cyborg's ass and force her to make the weight.

Anyone watch Palhares vs Shields. Palhares is so fucking dirty. He poked Shields eyes atleast 7-8 times from the bottom. How a point wasn't taken I dunno. The Palhares held the submission to long again. Fuck Palhares

if I'm shields I would threw the extra punch to. I put 0 blame on him for that

Palhares is dirty as hell, raking the eyes multiple times and he clearly kept cranking the kimura longer and Shields tapped like ten times. He should have his license revoked. Supposedly someone spit on Nate Diaz and then Khabib sucker punched Martin Sano who is friends and training partners with the Diaz brothers. Nick then threw a bottle at Khabib, they then went out in the lobby and Nate and Khabib scrapped for a minute and then Khabib's brother or training partner threw a chair at Nate and was arrested, wild ass story.

I do t know how anyone will allow Palhares to fight in their State. WSOF needs to get rid of him. I would love to watch a rematch though and let Jake fight just as dirty. I've never saw a fighters eyes have scratches under them the way Shields did from the eye gouges.

I did read Palhares might be stripped of the belt and the commission held his win bonus. I do think it's funny everyone is letting the Shields punch after the tap go because well who wouldn't have done that.

That is not at all the story I read, from the WSOF guy:

“I thought they crossed paths and they talked before on Twitter,” Abdelaziz told MMAjunkie. “I know that for sure because I know both guys. I guess they had a talk and I think Nick took a swing – that’s what people saw, I didn’t see it. And, after that, Nate came down and I tried to slow him down too and I saw someone threw a beer bottle from Nate’s camp. I don’t know who threw the beer bottle.
“It was 12 Russian guys. And I told them to sit down and they all listened to me. There was only three of them (in the Diaz camp). If I let them loose someone could have been injured, someone could have been hurt. I’m disappointed and these guys, you know, they’re professional fighters. They’re professional athletes and they shouldn’t be fighting outside of the cage. A lot of kids look up to them. A lot of young people look up to them. Every time you turn around it seems like Nick and Nate are arguing with somebody. I know Khabib very good, I’m very close to him. I really like Nate. And I don’t want to see two guys fighting. At the end of the day they’re men and I don’t know how the UFC is going to feel about it. But let these guys fight. Book them and let them fight.”

You realize that he is Khabib's manager right? https://twitter.com/SpencerLazara

Khabib started it by punching Martin Sano

What is the reasoning for White refusing to have the fight at a catch weight?

They want her to try and make the weight first, if she can't make it then I believe they will try and make a catch weight happen. Her next fight in Invicta supposedly will be at 140 so we will see how that goes. I think the fight will happen at UFC 200, makes perfect sense.

I haven't seen that written anywhere from MMA Junkie or Sherdog. I posted the MMA junkie article above, and Sherdog says they aren't sure who threw the first punch, either Nate or someone in Khabib's camp. Then Sano and Nick escalted it later, and Sano rushed the Russians. Not a big deal either way unless Khabib threw a punch. He is the only one with anything to lose here.
