It'd be rad if these things started at 8 pm eastern since they're like 3 hours anyway - just skip the early prelims and put the 'real' prelims on at 6 pm eastern

I'm old and have adult poo poo to do the next morning and there's no reason for the entire combined event to go like 8 hours anyway

So what is the point of replay being used only in a fight ending sequence if the fight can't be restarted? To declare it a no contest?

Basically. You can see if a strike is a foul or not. Might make the fight a KO, DQ, or NC depending on circumstances.

Alright, I appreciate the answer.

He fought at welterweight on Tuesday Night Contenders about two months ago, props to him for taking a fight a weight class up against a huge power striker and not getting killed

Refs aren't locked in with UFC and operate across multiple orgs, since they technically work for the commissions.

True, but the upper end seems to be like 1500 for a huge card like Aldo vs McGregor

That seems extremely low for such a crucial job

Will they just shut down the flyweight division once DJ retires

gently caress. I'm getting a bad feeling because of the hype that Joe is pouring onto DJ. It's reminding me of him crying about Ronda Rousey being some kind of invincible superhuman saint right before she had her head kicked off.

Have no fear - he will retire undefeated
