Alright man, thanks for stopping by. We’ll be back next week early Saturday for a lame ass but free UFC Fight Night during the day. 2:00 pm Central.
That’s definitely a light menu by your previous standards.
Eating at noon. Bring beer.
Yeah, I really wanted chicken wings but I wouldn’t be able to only eat a few so had to forgo =P
Next up:
Yair Rodriguez vs. Charles Rosa
A buddy of mine and I did our picks at work and compared and we only had 3 fight picked the same. I had Benitez and he had Collard so I’m good there. I also picked Cejudo.
Too bad the Todhunter fight didn’t go down.
Rodriguez pukes during his interview with Joe Rogan...ewww....
Next up:
185lbs- Nate Marquardt (33-14-2) vs. Kelvin Gastelum(10-1)
This excessive weight cutting is a problem and leads to many canceled fights.
That was some good fightin’! Old school UFC. Both guys loved fighting, and the best guy won. Awesome.
Definitely my favorite fight so far tonight.
This could be a pretty good fight.
I had Rosa, and had bet on him. I am proving that wagering on UFC is NOT for me, and I need to stick to betting on football. LOL.
when does the Cain VS Werdum fight come on?
“Eating at noon. Bring beer.”
Perfect.
Newcastle Brown Ale should work, and Fat Tire.
Should be in about 45 minutes
thanks a bunch!
The first death in the UFC will be as a result of a botched weight cut. The UFC and NSAC talk about getting tough on PED’s for fighter safety, when sucking 20+ lbs of water out of your body is far more dangerous than TRT under a doctor’s watch.
Great night of fights so far.
I agree
