Incredibly boring fights so far. Enjoy watching the big events, but can't imagine spending a dime on one of these if streams weren't so accessible.

The best zombie ride from the dead was Tyson Fury in that last fight. Dude looked like he was finished and then rose from the dead. Can’t wait for the rematch.
Man I feel for Cerone. Tough to go out that way, and he seems like a legit dude.. unlike half of the rest of MMA fighters who would be in jail if it wasn't for this sport.
I just watched it on Twitter. Zzzzzzz..... it wasn't even a good quick knockout. Sorry for those of you who bought it.
Shoulder strikes were new to everyone including both combatants. What a sick move. Feel bad for Cowboy but now we have another huge match with Connor in the fold.
That wasn't good? Really? Dude charges the guy, gets a lucky leg to the head, shoulder strikes break his nose in the clinch, immediately after the clinch lands a head kick and then GnP until ref calls it. All in 40 seconds after losing his last fight, and the fight before that was the Mayweather which he lost. People are saying he's washed up. You may not have wanted him to win and that's perfectly fine but objectively that was a superbly clean fight by a fighter who left without a hair out of place.
You won my fight night poster award! Thanks, brother! For anyone who missed it the main event went like this: fight begins. Cowboy ducks the first punch and then successfully absorbed all others, never failing to recognize the full effect of each one, beginning with maybe a knee, and then a few harsh shoulder bumps, one of which bloodied his nose, not sure which, even faucets don't run than soon. And then a kick to the jaw, followed by three hard lefts to Cowboy's right ear. One of them, really hard. Really, really effing hard. Cowboy's fetal position training revealed itself about this time. Really good form on Cowboy's part as McGregor just looked completely out of control, even oddly chopping at Cowboy's head at one point not too differently than the bucket of a large excavator might be improperly used to tamp a 1/2 ton of hard clay between broken slabs of concrete to remedy a drainage issue. As should have been expected, this too did nothing to aid Cowboy's own drainage problems, but only appeared to worsen matters as even more red liquid seem to distract McGregor. Never once did McGregor have the look of a man capable of controlling his own urges, and so the referee did it for him, some 40 seconds into continually failing to achieve any form of respectable civility on his own.
Has Conor lost a fight that wasn't 1. Outside of his weight class and 2. In a different sport entirely?
Don't Khabib, Floyd and Diaz all fit? This guy keeps looking to challenge himself.. I dont see those 3 guys doing the same, certainly not Mayweather.
I think that's what seperates Conor. He's doing this for the sport.. not just to protect his legacy and win record.
Conor looked like a different fighter. Much more sound. Much better defense.
Shoulder strikes very creative. Will likely change grappling and clinching.

I really like Connor, but here’s my thoughts:
Masvidal? He’ll lose.
khabib? He’ll lose that too.
It’ll be Khabib for one last money maker or,
Nate for the trilogy! I would love that. Even though I’m a fan of both.

But, they did say Khabib won't fight him again. And Conor's only hope is to fight the guy that could possibly beat Khabib.
Khabib would get a silly pay day to fight Conor.. so what's the deal?
Exactly. Tough decision. I don’t think Khabib will want to fight Conor again, not because he thinks he may lose but because of all the other stuff that happened and his religion.
I personally don’t think Conor cares about belts as much as paydays which is understandable. I think he doesn’t care to fight Uzman for the title. He’d rather take the BMF belt from Masvidal.
Although I have heard that he and Khabib will fight in March.

Who knows? Burning questions need answers. In the meantime the billing statement will go like this: you have to be one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport to negotiate conditions for a victory against McGregor.
Cowboy never had a prayer in this fight. I like him though, so I'm glad to see him get a big pay day.
Masvidal should be the obvious next matchup for Conor. Would be a fun buildup because they talk a lot of crap and that gimmick BMF belt would be involved.

This is the first UFC I have ever watched. Are there many "fights" like the women's match tonight because that was the most boring thing I ever watched. I take it no since Holm apologized in her ring interview after it. It was just her pushing the other woman up against the fence for 15 minutes.
That was not the first time anyone has used a shoulder strike in a UFC bout. I’ve been watching UFC since 2005 when The Ultimate Fighter reality show and several UFC fight nights began airing on Spike TV. Shoulder strikes have been used plenty of times. I’ve never seen any that did that much damage! But that’s not a new technique.
Yeah the level change technique to strike with the top bone of the shoulder is what is new or at least I've not seen. I think that's what allowed the strikes to cause that kind of damage.
You know what else can be took as no? You having ever been in an organized fight.
The conditioning of Holm as a young woman in display last night. Quite extraordinary. Just about the only way for that fight to have been kept from anything other was if her opponent had been man enough to change it.
A couple of lifetimes ago (maybe only a lifetime and one-half), we used to box as a matter of loosely organized training at Towell courts and very likely some of you know what that means. And it isn't as if the regular morning runs on Ardennes wasn't enough to keep us in shape, like scrawny lean. But all I can remember is that 3, two-minute rounds was just about the fiercest workout most of us ever saw when we were in the best shape of our lives. And a minimum of 700 road miles a year in PT formation will get you there.
Occasionally you get fights where neither opponent does any damage to each other but one person scores points by maintaining a clinch or ground control but it's not all that often. I'd equate it to a defensive battle in football where one team wins 3-0 but it's because of how good the defense is not how bad the offense is. Yeah it's not exciting to watch but if you understand the sport you can still appreciate the skill involved.
So it was like Curry and Mallory's last game together when we won 3-0. Maybe it was effective but it bored me to tears. Everything else last night was worth watching, that one was just boring to me. Like I said, she even apologized in her post match interview.
Watch out.. Dana White gonna come knocking on your door.
I don't have one. If I find one I'll post it here.. I honestly will probably just google it until I find something. What time would the McGregor fight likely go off?

Someone who isn’t me said if you search google for what basketball, football, and baseball are and the name of that Xtreme Green soda that tried to compete with Mountain Dew in the mid 1990s that you’ll find out how a leprechaun brushes his teeth.

Perks of working with a bunch of nerdbombs. These guys don't even know what UFC is, and yet, they found what I needed in 5 min..
