Yeah, watched Stipe vs Hunt last night. Just to reiterate what you guys already said, it was really hard to watch Hunt get brutalized like that. He was dead on his feet after the first round. Should've been stopped in the third round for sure. Would love to see Cain vs Stipe, but who the hell knows when Cain will be healthy again & if he'll be healthy long enough to squeeze in a couple fights before he's injured again.
Other than that, fun card. Tons of great finishes.
Fight Pass is ok. I had no problems streaming the prelims, but once the "main card" started, couldn't get shit to load, so I missed Vick/Matthews & O'Connell/Perosh. It would only load long enough for me to see their post-fight interviews then cut out again. Once Whittaker/Tavares started the stream sorted itself out.

Great card altogether. Props to Hunt for spirit. Stipe should fight for the belt soon
I thought Hioki had one, and boom gets KTFO.
Frankie vs. Faber, and I'm beyond excited for that one! Will love seeing Frankie beating the ass out of that chin. *pun intended*

I'm started watching the new season of TUF over the weekend.
This season is actually different, but I like the new format.

The new TUF suuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkssssss so bad. I gave up after the first two episodes. The format is garbage, really makes all the early fights meaningless if a team can win if they just win all the late fights.

I like the gym vs gym concept, but you're right, the scoring system is dog shit. And if I understood the rules correctly (probably not since they're so needlessly convoluted), some guys might not even fight & others might get to fight multiple times even if they lose? So stupid. Also doesn't help that they started off with three boring fights in a row. |

TUF has to be the most played out concept on TV. Plus it rarely turns out decent fighters anymore. You could argue that the first few seasons of TUF put out more real fighters than the last ~15 or so seasons combined. Now they have TUF Brazil too, it is really oversaturated. TUF also makes us wait on big fights for way too long.
One thing I would like to see is another comeback season like the one Matt Serra won. Not only was the season awesome and the concept awesome, it led to literally the ultimate underdog fight in MMA history w/ Serra beating GSP for the strap.

Yeah, it's pretty well known how much Ronda likes anime. She wore a DBZ shirt at WrestleMania.

Yoel Romero got another fight booked just in time for the 10YA. That's nice. But he's fighting Machida, and that fight might kill me. I love them both too much to see one of them lose  |

I was really disappointed in that Edgar/Faber fight yesterday. Looks like Frankie is back to his point fighting ways.
Jon delos Reyes vs Roldan Sangcha-an on the prelims though! Damn! What an awesome, action packed fight!

Who you got this saturday?
I got Belfort, Rumble, Cerrone, Browne and Benavidez, in the main.
Hall and Dodson in the prelims.
The other fights I'll just wait and see.
