Can’t watch the fights but hoping for Smith to get the upset. Also rooting for Usman, Lawler and Walker.

Surprised Torres is a betting underdog.

Thanks! My Diego Sanchez pick tho is one I want to see win.

I’d also love to see Jones defeated, but I don’t think Anthony can get that job done. Rootin’ for him tho!

It doesn’t matter who wins tonight, Jones will keep testing positive for Turinabol, apparently forever.

He’s toxic. And eventually he’ll self-destruct. In the meanwhile, Dana White will continue to be his enabler until he’s committed some crime they won’t be able to bury.

Ugh, Askren at once gets on Lawler’s back. Lawler SLAMS him down and GROUND AND POUNDS the hell out of him, I expect it to be stopped, it’s not, Askren survives, they get up, Askren immediately grabs on him, eventually gets him down, takes his back and gets him in a bulldog choke, the choke was on the jaw and not the neck but Herb Dean couldn’t tell and he STOPS the fight, Lawler springs up shaking his head, crowd booes like crazy.

Rematch needed.

Total domination by Usman. Looked like he was throwing a heavy bag around. Tyron looked lost and out of it. Nice work by the Nightmare.

Ah, I missed that.

I don’t get to watch any of this stuff anymore, not even prelims, since they moved ufc to espn.

Just say no to espn.

But I am happy Diego won. OG Ultimate Fighter right there.
