UFC Ping, let me know if you want on/off the list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_Fight_Night:_Swanson_vs._Ortega

I’ll take Swanson

Big news, GSP vacates the Middleweight title he took off Michael Bisping, supposedly after being diagnosed with the disease ulcerative colitis, too bad. Robert Whittaker promoted from interim champ to champ, will defend the belt against former Champ Luke Rockhold.

Nothing like watching two people beat each others brains out, yep, nothing like it. (Truth be known, I actually what that stuff :), unless that is an old western rerun on.

Husband has the fights on, I’m reading Free Republic.

Everyone in this house is happy - except the dogs who are pacing to go out.

LOL, enjoy everyone!

Weird about GSP. Hopefully, he gets the UC under control.

Whittaker and Rockhold should be a good bout.

A lot of people are saying he’s ducking.

In any case, better to vacate than to play Hamlet.

I would have liked to see him fight the younger generation but we’ve got a great match-up here.

“Ducking” was my first thought but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. At least he vacated the title immediately.

Ortega vs. Swanson should be fun. Brian has a deadly ground game and throws some punches. Look for FOTN if it goes a few rounds.

Ortega by submission.

[[A lot of people are saying he’s ducking.]]

Depends on how bad it is- it can really cripple people or it can be mildly annoying- exhaustion and diminished endurance can be really bad with that particular disease-

we used to have time warner but they got bought out by spectrum- now spectrum doesn’t include spike in the triple play package we had with time warner- :(

Wish these damn companies would offer ala-cart purchasing- I’d drop a few worthless channels and get the ones we’re all interested in

Well, diminished endurance is one of the last things you’d want in a 5 round fight. He seemed to be fading right before he finished Bisping.

I hope he gets better and fights again.

Moraes KTFOs Sterling with a knee to the jaw! Another big win for big (beat Dodson by SD last fight)

I hate channel bundles more than anything on earth.

I watch all of about 5 channels.
