Disregard my fun facts for the day. Ben Henderson read them
between rounds, said "f*ck you Andreas* and finished off
Khabilov.

Wow! Henderson gets the submission in round four and immediately
comes to media row side of cage and says "say something now!"
Heated

Well, Ross Pearson said he wanted a fight people were talking
about 20 years from now. They just might be. Yeesh.

Wow. The saddest thing is, that's not even top three biggest
robberies by Diego Sanchez.

GTFO of here. Seriously ABQ judges? Kiss my ass if you had that
fight 30-27 for Sanchez.

John Crouch confirms to me that Moraga wanted to continue and
corner supported it, but doctor was concerned about the nose and
called it.

I guess Mel Gibson is welcome at UFC cards because there are no
Jewish fighters to complain about him #UFCFightNight

Doubt any other professional sport would give Mel Gibson any
camera time in 2014…and there’s a really good reason for that.

Even holding his groin, John Dodson's hot lap around the Octagon
was blurry.

This Arena is hotter than Belfort's urine sample. #UFCFightNight

Not a great sign if, two rounds in, the commentators are talking
about the effects of the altitude.
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) June

And the Albuquerque elevation claims its first victims. This is
why they didn't book any fights over 170 pounds on the Fox Sports 1
card.

That's the first tapout in UFC history via heel strikes from
back mount. What a joke. UFC caliber means absolutely nothing these
days.

And the slow death of the value of positional control in the

I wish Jon Tuck fought Andy Wang...so the fight would be Tuck

Since I'm not in the arena, no walkout songs - I'm still upset
however that Jason High was not allowed to use the @GameOfThrones theme
