Ohhhh Sonnen vs. Jackson.

I like that one.

For the Heavyweight Jackass championship.

Since I'm a YUGE racist, my money is on the white jackass.

p.s. Can you put me on your ping list Imperonator?

UFC has such a large seemingly ever changing roster, I can’t keep up.

It’s not like the old days at all. Maybe I’m getting old and just can’t remember names as well.

There are names I’ve seen before but I couldn’t tell you about the fighters. Not a great card outside the title fights.

Just watch Big John McCarthy doing post fight winner interviews on Bellator.

I wonder if he’s an announcer for them now.

Apparently Spike TV is now called Paramount Network.

Yep, it is. I wonder if it will result in less reruns of Cops.

Yeah, I'm not really loving John McCarthy as an interviewer after the fights, seems strange.

Chandler won his match by decision. I thought the fight should have been stopped near the end of the third when he turned his opponents face into so much hamburger via G&P, but the ref let it go to the bell.

Red King up next.

Rory Mac is the new welterweight champ for Bellator.

Astonishing decision win by him after his calf was utterly destroyed by Lima early on.

Rory couldn’t barely even stand, but managed to keep the fight on the ground for the remaining rounds, and held Lima down for the entire fifth while delivering punishing GnP.

Good sportsmanship after, Rory was emotional and respectful of Lima said he’s the best fighter he’s ever faced.

Congratulations, Rory!
