Looking forward to the main event as both hurt one another in their first fight and the bad blood between them.

Damn you, Elsa. I am doing my best to cast Cody as the heel, but the Cody Garbrandt, Family Man section of the Vlog is not helping me.

Damn was most looking forward to Aldana on this card.

[Elsalvajeloco]

If they let Bisping fight at UFC 199, CSAC must have spotted something serious.

Does it help if you keep in mind that he's on a private jet? I find it's easier to hate on people when they have rich people stuff.

No.  He's feeding his kid.  It still hits me in the feels.  I have to respect good dads doing good dad things.

I'm picking Dillashaw for the rematch. I think Garbrandt fights a bit too much with his emotions.

I'm going same way. Emotions can help and hinder in life. More of the former is needed than the latter.

Something tells me the people who tripped over themselves to defend James Gunn for his old tweets are not going to do the same for Cody Garbrandt. 

[Elsalvajeloco]

Everyone is on weight for UFC 227 and the title fights are now official.

It looks like we will stick with early morning weigh ins until someone fucks that up.

Poor Chris Cariaso.

Damn Alex Perez just overwhelmed Shorty Torres in less than one round. Trigg gave Torres every chance to fight back but Perez just mopped him up.

[Jiji]

Alex Perez looked phenomenal. Loved how he would work the body in his combos. His dashing in, face first clinch attempts could get him danger but that was aaaaawesome.

Torres' head is way, way too big for his body. Must be HGH.
