I'm just glad that everyone who wakes up right now has to read about an impressive Dong first thing in the morning. #ufc
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) March 1, 2014If I were 8 - when I thought you could legitimately push someone's nose into their brain to kill them - that KO would've been even scarier.
— Dann Stupp (@MMAjunkieDann) March 1, 2014Don't go into the light John Hathaway
— Stephie D (@CrooklynMMA) March 1, 2014Well, I won't be needing coffee this morning. #HOLYOHMYGODTHATJUSTHAPPENED #TUFChina
— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) March 1, 2014A counter spinning back elbow knockout for Stun Gun Kim? Counter elbow on a an elbow attempt by Hathaway? That is wild.
— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) March 1, 2014Kim perhaps prematurely scouting out some cageside talent for his post-fight celebration.
— Dann Stupp (@MMAjunkieDann) March 1, 2014Apparently MMA judging sucks worldwide. #TUFChinaFinale
— Dana White (@danawhite) March 1, 2014I totally expected way more wire-fighting from this event. Color me disappointed.
— Freddie DeFreitas (@freddefreitas) March 1, 2014"I'd like to thank, uhhh, bread... milk.... laundry detergent.... Jon, I might have grabbed the wrong paper"
— Chris Nelson (@3amMMA) March 1, 2014+100 goes to Mitrione for realizing that Jordan was still hurt after trying to regroup, flurrying again and getting the R1 buzzer-beater KO.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) March 1, 2014@MMAjunkieDann Is that guy dressed as a tampon?
— jim genia (@jim_genia) March 1, 2014I need some coffee to stay up for these next fights...where is Pat Cummins when you need him? #TUFChina
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) March 1, 2014A lot at stake for these two fighters, not the least of which is the honor of their respective villages and clans.
— jim genia (@jim_genia) March 1, 2014Man!!!! Dude with hair lost more brain cells in this fight than Matsui during his entire career in Pride! #ultimatefightnight
— Bahadurzada (@SiyarTheGreat) March 1, 2014Korean Bulldozer, Filipino wrecking machine...lots of destruction in the UFC
— Stephie D (@CrooklynMMA) March 1, 2014Nam Phan didn't do his Homework on Vaughan Lee...making it the first time an Asian guy didn't do his Homework. #ufc
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) March 1, 2014The ufc keeps looking for their Yao Ming but they only find their Dong Fangzhuo's.
— Tomasz J. Marciniak (@tjmarciniak) March 1, 2014Excerpt from memoirs: "My low point came in 2014. It was 6:45am and I was watching a commercial where Mike Dolce yelled at me about fitness"
— Chris Nelson (@3amMMA) March 1, 2014Rumor has it UFC considered booking Bob Sapp for this card but they opted to air a 15-second UFC Fit commercial instead. Otherwise, no time.
— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) March 1, 2014This UFC event is the only time I would ever stay up till 5 AM to see a Dong. #ufc
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) March 1, 2014@TCritchfield52 Thank you for that share, Tristen. I'll go next. Hi, my name is Mike, and it's been 0 days since my last Fight Pass.
— Mike Whitman (@mikewhitmanmma) March 1, 2014Can't help but feel like Fedor is fighting later when I wake up at 3 am for a card.
— TJ De Santis (@TJDeSantis) March 1, 2014Wow, that knee was square to the face. Maybe my dreams have come true and everyone made a secret gentlemen's agreement to use One FC rules?
