Bigfoot calls dibs on Easter. RT @danawhite: Both Hunt and Silva get their win bonus and I might buy them both their own private ISLANDS!!!!
— Eric Jackman (@NewYorkRic) December 7, 2013Stop worrying if this is better than that fight or this fight. Enjoy it. It was incredible, unexpected, fun, awesome, amazing, tremendous...
— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) December 7, 2013Didn't Hunt's knee explode like ten minutes ago? The fight gods magically healed it to satiate the bloodlust of everyone watching?
— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) December 7, 2013Mark Hunt's son is hardcore. He was unfazed by witnessing *that* in person. Coleman's daughters' heads would have exploded.
— Todd Martin (@ToddMartinMMA) December 7, 2013Legit one of the best KO's this year. Pure on-point brutality, Te Huna's collapsing actions were gruesome. Absolute .gif fodder. Cold shower
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) December 7, 2013Shogun pulled the plug out the back of James Te Huna's head when he was still in the Matrix. #UFC
— MiddleEasy (@MiddleEasy) December 7, 2013never seen a guy win so decisively, yet be so totally unimpressed by that same dominant performance.... congrats, ryan bader....
— Robert Joyner (@robnashville) December 7, 2013The last tine I saw a Hippo take this much punishment was when Matt Hughes posted his hunting pics. #UFCFightNight
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) December 7, 2013Our boys at @FightMetric have the early numbers on landed strikes 103-6 for Bader over Perosh. Get that man some ice. #UFCFightNight
— Mike Chiappetta MMA (@MikeChiappetta) December 7, 2013Perosh's corner needs to throw the towel. If you can't find the towel, use your shirt.
— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) December 7, 2013Winner via Ralphie strikes. #FightNight
— Tommy Toe Hold (@TommyToeHold) December 7, 2013GUARANTEED KNOCKOUT. GUARANTEED UGLY. GUARANTEED PAT BARRY TEARS.
— GFKonMMA (@GFKonMMA) December 7, 2013if that type of strike makes you go limp, get out of the sport..... for your own good.
— FrontRowBrian (@FrontRowBrian) December 7, 2013@benfowlkesMMA Greg Jackson should make an app of him just shouting positive things so we can all feel as good as his fighters

Nick Ring vs Caio Magalhaes
Round 3: I'm cutting myself just to feel something, anything. To feel alive.
— Chris Nelson (@3amMMA) December 7, 2013OK, seriously, I would cut Magalhaes' hand off for that fence-grab. As a referee, I would just keep a little baby machete on me at all times
— Mike Whitman (@mikewhitmanmma) December 7, 2013Doc looks at Magalhaes's eye and OKs it. Thinks, 'Man, I should really do something about these ears while I'm here.'
— Dann Stupp (@MMAjunkieDann) December 7, 2013This is a humble interview and all, but Scoggins would make an excellent heel turn by making a Steve Irwin/Stingray reference.
— Mookie Alexander (@mookiealexander) December 7, 2013This fight is making me want to do something else. Both tonight and with my life. That's some powerful next-level suck.
— Jonathan Snowden (@mmaencyclopedia) December 7, 2013Bruno Santos, the kind of guy that plays pure defense while he has double underhooks. His fights need to come with an open bar or something.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) December 7, 2013BREAKING: Bricked-up athlete annihilates white guy with dyed hair.
