Herb didn't know what to do once he heard

Jacare looks like you could push him over. I

With a physique like that at age 38, Romero
guaranteed uses bowflex. No other explanation.
— Eric Stinton (@TombstoneStint) December

Preparing for two athletes like Jacare and
Romero to battle for a 185 title shot ... well, let's just say I

Kristina very offended by a 145 pound man calling himself a gorilla or king of the jungle. "More like the toughest spider monkey."
— Jonathan Snowden (@JESnowden) December 13, 2015
Also, ran into a man dressed in a Shamrock
suit. "We do our part," he said. "You do more than your part," I
replied. #UFC194

I'm guessing Santos was parked in the

Wow, Santos just smoked Kevin Lee and then ran completely out of the arena and probably played a slot machine before coming back. #UFC194

Just heard Yancy Medeiros shit himself during the fight and I didn't even notice. MMA is so cruel sometimes.

Conor McGregor gained 30 pounds since last night. That's because his ego is so big that he's eating for 3. #UFC194

Laser pens, tennis balls? Santos warms up with the same gear that I used to play with my cats.

That was one of those fights where everyone agrees it was close, but I've seen no one score it for Medeiros. Rightly so IMO.
