What network is broadcasting the fight? Pay per view?

I found this article

Sounds like Networks don’t like Rogan/Golberg

They are definitely hype master style.

I like Rogan, he’s very knows his stuff, but he will favor certain fighters inexplicably at times.

Goldie has always been over the type. He’s entertaining, but also kinda dumb.

I have grown to prefer some of the more generic commentating seen on other broadcasts, but for these big name cards, Goldie and Joe are good.

Yep, I agree, Nunes is brutal, and if Rousey tries to strike with her, she’ll lose.

Magney’s bottom defense was very good.

What is the effect of Hendricks not making weight? Does he lose a point or ???

I think he loses 30% of his purse if he wins.

Crowd doesn’t like that decision.

Grats to Magny.

Johnny, if you want to win, don’t let it go to the judges. I expect to see you in Bellator soon.

It’s 20% of the total purse, which goes to the opponent.

He really needs to try to make weight, I don’t think he’s big enough for 185.

Magny takes the decision, crowd boos.

Mangy still needs to work on his footwork. You can’t just stand in front of a stronger fighter like that. His reach advantage was wasted. His Jitsu won it for him. This time.

As much as I like Hendricks I can’t help but agree; Magney was a boss from the bottom position...damn near subbed him twice.

The boos are understandable; those takedowns were great but I have to agree with the judges...Hendricks failed to capitalize on them, so I have to agree with the decision, despite the fact I was pulling for Hendricks.

Can’t believe Magny had an 11 inch reach advantage.

He definitely still needs much work on his skills, but he has come a long way.

All right, I found a pretty good live stream on YouTube. While it lasts.
