Daniel Cormier somehow made himself a bigger heel.

Brazil not having a champ lasted all of 48 hours.

Aldo's handspeed is amazing.

Holy shit, what a fantastic photo. Has there been anything said about if he is in fact coming back to 145?
He said he was coming back pretty much on Thursday at the 202 presser.

Browne had nothing for Cain outside that big right hand early on. He just got overwhelmed.

Crazy watching Cain Velasquez open up a PPV.

Hendricks looked flat honestly with very little pop on his punches outside of the tighter, shorter punches when he was up against the cage. Gastelum clearly won the first two rounds and arguably you could give him the third as well.

Does Hendricks seem a bit soft around the middle?

They should be on FS1 now after moving over from FS2.
I like Sage, but he just needs more cage experience and seasoning and a more consistent camp. Kid is only 20 and still in school. I think he left a lot of openings tonight that he needs to work on.
But he's so young and inexperienced that it makes sense to give him softer match-ups. He faced adversity tonight and came through. That will hopefully help him in the long run. He still needs to find a camp to be his home though. Also, let him take as much time as he needs. No need to rush him.
He needs to develop his strength. He is strong for his age, but people are going to try to take him down right off the bat. Hard to get set that way. However, he was able to escape that armbar and then stop Marin from lay and praying in round 3. Win this one and look better next time.
Dillashaw probably just safely secured a rematch with Cruz.

3 fights in and we ain't made it past the first round yet.
But yeah, Diego Sanchez might need to hang them up.

Andrew Holbrook and Thiago Marreta need to do MMA PSAs about not trying to get up while displaying zero defensive awareness.
-
I like the mat (apparently it's not yellow but gold looking at the arena photos) considering I never got over them abandoning the blueish gray mat that only around for 2 cards in 2007.

Gomi should probably pursue other endeavors outside the cage.

I think I disagree with Meltzer saying he expects it play out like Joanna and Claudia did last night. Tate really isn't a volume striker like Joanna and that's what propelled her to victory. Joanna looks to hit you from anywhere and in anyway she can. Tate kinda lays back in the pocket. She's going to have to tire out Nunes by trying to get her to the ground and then eventually getting her there. If I'm Robert Follis, I'm telling Miesha to not do anything that will get her picked apart early on. One thing people might be overlooking is that Nunes feels comfortable being on top in guard. That was how she fought other strikers in the past. If she can get on top of you, she's looking to smash you or at least control your movement. Can Miesha create opportunities off her back? Does she spend 90 seconds trying to get back up? This fight can play out many different ways.

Excellent fight. Played out like I thought it would, but that's what made it great. Just like I said, it had the feeling of a fight where someone would go up 2-0 and put the person behind in quite a predictment. However, once Claudia started to move backwards, Joanna made all the proper adjustments to absolutely dominate the final three rounds. She dropped Claudia's output to single digits and outlanded her 185-18 in those rounds. The Little Rockstar gets it done.

Suarez in the grappling department is going to be hard to deal with.

Good fight between Pearson and Will Brooks. I had Brooks winning so I can't argue with the decision.

Joaquim Silva just ruined Andrew Holbrook.

White said he cleared all his medicals. And this is Nevada.
Then again a state athletic commission still cleared Kimbo Slice, who is now dead, and Dada 5000 who almost died after fighting Slice. Texas or not, they still got cleared.
I doubt Kimbo would've been licensed in Nevada.
