Wait until he actually learns what he's doing - scary. Bring him along slowly please, still concerned about his standup.

He’s already pretty damn good. Just dominant thus far.

Could they have selected a more useless video clip?

When they charge people to watch it and are giving away a free video, that's about all you're going to get in real time.

Agreed. I'm anxious to see if he can take a punch.

The only part of the fight that they showed was the ref's posterior.

I totally get that. Any idea when the match will make it to cable TV or YouTube?

I saw something this morning where Bo was defending himself over an accusation of a low blow. Anyone here anything ?

Yeah, he claims it's a ridiculous claim. The other guy wants the result of the fight thrown out. I don't suspect that will happen.

For anyone who watched the fight, was this discussed live or immediately after? Anyone from UFC comment since the fight?

No one mentioned it immediately that I saw or heard. UFC officials nor the Nevada gaming commission have commented on this and I suspect they won't until they render a decision. Which, again, is unlikely to change the outcome.

 

[KJB32812]

They're never going to change the outcome of a fight after the fact.

@Got GSPs All UFC PPVs are viewable on ESPN+ 16 days after the event.

He might have gotten him in the groin. It was close—might have been upper inner thigh. But if he did catch the junk, it was definitely unintentional.

You can find it on youtube if you go looking.
