Dillashaw looked good. Soto looked better than expected.
Everybody wins? I mean, except--you know--Barao. Your move, Mr.

Castillo: "I controlled a grown man on his back… if he was in
jail, he’d be in trouble.” Maybe quote of the night.

shayna shows that if you follow what you love, you can be paid
zero money for 10 years and then get plastered by a younger, better
fighter

I love the 4 Horsewomen thing, because it gives other women a
chance to promote themselves by beating 3 out of 4. #UFC177

Che Mills was a killer. Tony Ferguson is a murderer. I would LOVE
to hear Joe Rogan describe Jack the Ripper. #UFC177

Sometimes it's like Ramsey Nijem fights like he has Mark Hunt's
chin. He doesn't, though.

At least they're still letting Barao wear a UFC T-shirt. No

I wish Dana White would lay off Dave Meltzer. Seriously, give it

It may be demented, but I kind of like when Buffer says, "the
VERY first round." It feels like he's chiding the loser for wasting
our time.
