March 14, 201511 yr The Rio card next is one that didn't hold up, but that was suppose to a smaller, "get people fights" card anyway. They really can't throw good cards at the biggest markets in Brazil until the domestic talent really starts producing again. Even though Brazil is a huge market for them, they may end up scaling the number of cards back the same way they did for Canada (went from 8 cards originally to 3 this year IIRC). The guys who usually bail those cards out (sans Pezao who may be on his way out) will be fighting on numbered PPV cards like this instead of numbered Fight Nights at some humid Brazilian gym. Better a stacked PPV than a free Brazil card. However, even the injuries that tore apart UFC Fight Night 60 ended up giving us Henderson vs. Thatch which was one of my favorite fights of all time.

You liked it that much?
March 14, 201511 yr Author De Randamie looked good and tuned up Pacheco like I expected. Joe Duffy was straight up Jesus Christ resurrected against Lindsey. It was mentioned on the broadcast that Firas Zahabi said Duffy was moving down to featherweight.
March 14, 201511 yr Author Sergio Pettis is so good at hitting people. The problem seems to be when they...ya know...hit him back.
March 15, 201511 yr And a big left Hook ends Hands of Stone's Night. Now to go buy the PPV before 10.
March 15, 201511 yr So before the co main for the Predictions contest if Joanna wins do I get a point or do I need JOJO to win the Strawweight belt this year?
March 15, 201511 yr Roy Nelson got one of the worst knees to the junk I've every seen in the UFC. Need to remember next time Overeem fights he is 3-0 when I've seen him fight live.
March 15, 201511 yr Author So before the co main for the Predictions contest if Joanna wins do I get a point or do I need JOJO to win the Strawweight belt this year? Just new strawweight champion is good enough.
March 15, 201511 yr So before the co main for the Predictions contest if Joanna wins do I get a point or do I need JOJO to win the Strawweight belt this year? Just new strawweight champion is good enough. Cool thanks for answering my question. Time for Brown vs. Hendricks!
March 15, 201511 yr Carla and Joanna have a great chance to win fight of the night since no other fight on the main card has earned it before their fight.
March 15, 201511 yr I've never felt so bad for a champion like I did for Carla Esparza. She was just no match for Joanna in her first title defense. Joanna Jedrzejczyk was just too big and her strikes far too devastating.
March 15, 201511 yr Author Carla went 1 for 17 with takedowns. That's basically why I went with Joanna. There was very little in the way she (Carla) could win without takedowns.
March 15, 201511 yr That was my main problem with her in the Ultimate Fighter house (not the Finale she was much better and more well rounded) all she did was wrestling leading toward other things leading to boring wet blanket fights but to her credit no woman could stop her takedowns thus the wet blanket approach. For her next camp nothing but striking training 24/7.
March 15, 201511 yr Author That was....unexpected. The UFC lightweight division is some Game of Thrones shit. You either win or you die. John Morgan @MMAjunkieJohn now Want to be more amazed by RDA? According to @AliAbdelaziz00, dos Anios tore his MCL three weeks ago.
March 15, 201511 yr Author MMAFighting.com @MMAFighting 4m White: No rematch for Pettis. Cowboy-Khabib still gets dos Anjos next.
March 15, 201511 yr Author Mike Bohn @MikeBohnMMA 2m Dana White to @ArielHelwani on FS1 post-fight show: "(Pettis) has a concussion. He said he didn't feel right after first hit of the fight."
March 15, 201511 yr Author Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 30s White says you can count on Cejudo fighting in Mexico City.
