I was kinda hoping to watch 209 but had other stuff on, sounds like I didn't miss much sadly. Any of the fights worth a look?

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

A bunch of made up fighters like Bortic, Lando, and Mumpus all did like spinning backflip kicks for no reasons so it was a decent card till you remember none of those guys are even real.

Skip Tybura/Henrique, skip Woodley/Thompson, maybe watch Rashad/Kelly at 1.5x speed, and watch Godbeer/Spitz but take like four shots of something alcoholic first.

Everything else is great.

I did based on hes been knocked out in 3 of his last six fights, and said it was shot by Hunt standards. He can still take shots but they can put him down and have been with more regularity. Hes not Chuck or Pitbull shot, but he cant take it on the chin like he used to and that is very bad for his style.

So since neither khabib or ferguson were injured can't they just put the fight on another card? Or is it not that simple?

i think that's extremely diengenuous. he ducked directly into a rising knee from werdum and was still fully conscious, he was still fully conscious in the stipe fight for about 20 minutes longer than any human should have to be, and the jds ko was the equivalent of wide arc swinging a baseball bat.

the overeem knee was two knees from overeem.

Mark Hunt is already back to posting incoherent messages on his Facebook from the hospital. He's 42 years old. I think he has the best chin in the business

Overeem pulled his head down into it. That knee would've been rough for a young Mark Hunt.

It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't say it was good, hence if you're going for card highlights I wouldn't include it.

Hunt's chin is by no means shot but I do kinda hope he considers retirement anyway 'cause getting knocked out by giants when you're 42 is bad for your brain and he needs to focus on his fulltime career of suing the UFC.

Woodly didnt have a good fight tonight but he might have proven himself as ready to face Nick Diaz. We'll see what Nick says. I don't want Woodly getting into a situation where he gets hurt.

Yeah, Reem couldn't have delivered a more perfect shot if Johnny Knoxville was presenting "Brain Damage". I'm no fighter, but that looked absolutely textbook.

I choose to believe that Robbie Lawler's inability to have a boring fight is so strong that it forced him to lose within a round to an impressive knockout, rather than it being Woodley fluking into an exciting win.
