Fights so far have been decent from Godofredo Pepy's knee and that sub and there is something in me that enjoys a sloppy 205lb fight

Jorgensen

[HC]

Wow.

[Rich]

Favourite my arse

[Chris2K]

I also love when Brazilians lose in Brazil, I find it grating that it's "Brazil vs. The World" every time there's a card in South America. Now we have Brazil v Brazil and there's just complete silence because they seem unable to emotionally invest in a fight that isn't Brazil vs. The World.

Hey look, Ronny Markes just got brutalised.

[Cymbols]

-750? Oh shit son!

[Rich]

Its also as Rony Markes is from the same town as the event Chris

[Chris2K]

I just went back and re-watched it and there was barely a sound throughout the entire fight, even when Markes was announced it was quiet. I could understand if it was just when Markes went down, but for the whole fight there was still zero atmosphere.

[HC]

I believe that breaks Drock's record-breaking streak.

And more importantly, it breaks mine.

It's almost as bad in the US though, the amount of times you get the USA! USA! USA! chant is a little overbearing. The booing in Brazil doesn't mean the same, there's far much more showmanship and the like there that its better to have a reaction than no reaction at all in Brazil

[Cymbols]

Can't beat a good USA! chant, especially when there's no Americans fighting!

Rich hates FREEDOM. Goddamn commie tea-sippin', Dr. Who watching, Brazil-lover.

All of those things are true, everytime I get close to an American I make them comfortable with me until I whisper "I'm a commie" in their ear when they least expect it.

[Rich]

Holy crap there are a lot of finishes on this card

EDIT:

And not all of them good

[Benjamin]

That looked like a really early stoppage. Siler was still throwing upkicks,

[HC]

I thought that could've gone a bit longer but dude was rocked pretty hard.

[Your Mom]

That guy wasn't knocked out was he? Also was Jorgenson head butted earlier? Because he is complaining like crazy on twitter about it

[Rich]

He was talking to the ref, while I am all for fighter safety and tend to err on the side of the ref being right, this one was a little too early, but Siler had been hit HARD, twice.

There was an accidental clash of heads with Formiga which knocked him loopey, but unless the fight is called a no-contest it is a risk in MMA

[Benjamin]

I think the ref was in reaction mode after the second shot already and nothing was going to stop him from calling the fight.

Man, I have so little emotion invested in this card. I'm interested in the co-main the most, but sleep feels so much more appealing right now.

[Rich]

I am pretty similar in feelings for the card, but every fight so far has been entertaining, best card of the year so far for me (action-wise)
