Grappling with Jacare is definitely on a higher level than most.

Great, another interim belt.

Silva takes some hard shots in round 1 and doesn’t buckle.

I think Brunson wins a decision on this one.

Officially his first win since losing the belt, since his win over Diaz was overturned on a drug test.

That’s kinda sad to see now that I think about it. One win in 3.5 years and I know he had to sit out a good bit of that time. Still his record since July 2013 is 1-4-1 with Weidman the only fighter who could finish him 2x.

I’m still mad at him because his foolishness cost him the Bisping fight.

I can’t believe a point hasn’t been deducted from de Radamine

And it makes the difference as she wins 48-47 on all cards.

But all she really wins is the right to get knocked out by Cyborg in her first title defense.

Egad! I’m such a fricin’ dirka face! Jacare Souza. That’s his full name, Chris, not just Jacare, he’s not like Cher... durr, durr, durr.

At least I stumbled into one good pick despite myself.

I’m surprised Holmes won. That does make me happy even though I lost the pick :D

I thought Cyborg got suspended for testing dirty.

Whatever the case, congrats to Holly!

Jacare is his nickname, his given name is Ronaldo.

“Jacare” is what they call a local species of alligator down there in Brazil.

Holm didn’t win actually, lost by decision. So I was wrong and you and the others were right on that pick.

I picked the winner but still feel like my prediction was way off. I didn’t see the fight, but it sounds like it was a pretty good one.

It was ok, not great, not a real barnburner. I think Cyborg will get the next title shot and win. Might be a while, de Randamie says she needs hand surgery, managed to win in spite of any injury though.

Dana White thinks it was a bad card. All the fights went to the judges other than the Jacare fight.

I most enjoyed Sliva/Brunson and Poirier/Miller, the later won fight of the night.

Damn, well I am happy I got the pick right, but not happy that Holly hasn’t been able to get a W since dethroning Rousy.

That makes me sad.

I hate it well all fights on a card go to the judges. it’s a real bummer, but every now and then that occurs, yet all the fights are somehow outstanding.

But there is really nothing worse than MMA judges.

I agree 100% with your post. OK main event, OK card and enjoyed both fights that you mentioned.
