    Let’s gooo. We are finally back. I have to admit I find it much easier to follow the UFC rather than other promotions simply because watching fights on Saturday nights has become such a habit.

    Doesn’t look that aggressive to me apart from talking and gesturing. But nice power.

      And nice accuracy, though I’m not sure how much of that was up to Wilson running into every strike.

    Really excited for Basharat and surprised to still see him so low on the undercard.

    Anyone still out there by the way or are y’all just waiting for 297 to come around?

      I’m not watching tonight. Just catching the highlights as they roll out. I’ll be here for 297 though.

        If you want some fights to watch later, check out the two Bantamweight decisions. Both were really fun. And see you next week!

    Poor Hawes always gets knocked out so brutally while looking like a Greek god.

    What a great fight, even though a knockout doesn’t look at all likely. But who knows, I’ve got Basharat 2:0, so maybe Lapilus will bring it now.

    I see Arlovski up 2-0 or at least 1-1. If the saucy salsa boy does not start actually fighting he might get a humiliating decision loss after his antics.

    What a pretentious, boring ass idiot. Win or lose, being a -700 favourite and doing fuck-all for 15 minutes while disrespecting a HW legend will certainly not get you any fans.

    Also, anyone else thinks that Ferreira looks a bit like RDA?
