Poor Randy Brown couldn't decide if he wanted to go down doing a cartwheel or a forward roll so he did both.

When the end result is the fetal position I guess it doesn't matter what path you take.

that Crute-Menifield fight was awesome. insane first round, and potentially the first time i'm not disappointed in a draw.

HWs gonna HW.

Randy Brown started the match looking very promising, but man, once it started going downhill, it went quick.

Super fight next, Islam Makhachev (23-1) defends the UFC Lightweight Championship for the first time vs. Alexander Volkanovski (25-1), the reigning UFC Featherweight Champion. Volk #1 P4P vs. Islam #2 P4P.

Pretty classic NWA traveling champ booking tonigt. Islam wins the decision. Volk finishes the fight on top. Now we got some heat for Yair/Volk.

Islam vs. Poirier doesn"t interest me at all. I honestly don't know what does.

i had it 48-47 Volk, but will freely admit that (1) i've been drinking for hours, and (2) a lot of those rounds were super close. both men came out looking better, and that is SUPER rare when it comes to MMA bouts. no argument over the decision, i look forward to Volk/Yair and Islam/whoever.

I had it same though I wasn't drinking, I'm tired as fuck is my caveat. I want to see an immediate rematch between the #1 and #2 P4P mixed martial artists.
