I love that Rener had no idea what really happened until he slapped it on his friend and then had it done to himself.

I credit soccer with this resurgence in national pride during a prelim fight no one cares about

That's implying that people care about fights outside the prelims tonight as well. The people actually at this show are comps or for some reason have a dog in the fight so I'm not shocked by some cohesion in chants.

More corners should resort to shouting Dana White-isms at their fighters between rounds.

It's funny because Bendo would have given him entirely different advice. "Definitely leave it in the hands of the judges. It'll all work out."

Edit: Hahaha it almost worked out

No.

I guess Bedford shouldn't fall backwards like a character in Fight Night if he wants to look not unconscious.

The stoppage itself wasn't awful but the way the ref handled it was terrible. It looked like he stopped it, then changed his mind and then realized he couldn't.

Not totally happy with the stoppage, but it wasn't completely horrible. Bedford fell pretty awkwardly.

Bedford was out, slammed his head on the canvas, and then didn't attempt to block the first shot on the ground

Hard to argue too much with that stoppage, even if it did look a bit goofy

Yeah definitely, I was also just trying to say that the ref had some happy feet going on as soon as they started swinging and I was anticipating a stoppage one way or another soon enough

Is there anything going on live right now? On fight pass I'm watching the start of the Tehuna Marquardt card, but shouldn't it start at 10? Or has already aired? And is there more than one crard today? I'm scared to look on google cause I'll get spoilers.

Te Huna card happened Saturday night in New Zealand IE 2 in the morning EST or so. The card is awesome and you should watch it. There is another card on right now on FS1.

Nice to see that Dana would prefer his fighters to carry on after being unconscious rather than stopping the fight to protect them.
