Wow
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) January 25, 2015In unrelated news Jon Jones just moved to heavyweight
— Fight Parrot (@FightParrot) January 25, 2015WOW. Rumble Johnson completes the greatest career turnaround in the history of MMA.
— Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) January 25, 2015Rumble wrestled for Lassen Community College in California, which strangely draws heavily from southeastern wrestlers. Like Rampage Jackson
— Coach Mike (@coachmjr) January 25, 2015This place is huge. #UFCStockholm pic.twitter.com/fomVFxAQTr
— esther lin (@allelbows) January 25, 2015Gegard Mousassi dug deep to get that victory, dug real deep LOL #UFCStockholm @MMARoasted @Izi_Garcia @MarinaShafir pic.twitter.com/feSQjhfnuN
— Mariano Hernandez (@MarsHerns) January 25, 2015That was the 15th knockdown suffered by Dan Henderson, the most in UFC/PRIDE/WEC/Strikeforce combined history.
— Michael Carroll (@MJCflipdascript) January 25, 2015Poor stoppage. Dan Henderson is a veteran who deserves to fight back out of any situation. Bummer.
— TJ De Santis (@TJDeSantis) January 25, 2015This is Dan Henderson we're talking about. You let that one go a few ticks longer. That's a shame.
— Matt Erickson (@MMAjunkieMatt) January 25, 2015Clean shot on the temple...you know, the one on the back of your head......
— Robert Joyner (@robnashville) January 25, 2015I love Leon Roberts, and I think Henderson would've got mashed anyhow, but that stoppage stunk. Henderson barely got touched there. Oof.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) January 25, 2015wow, never seen Mousasi this amped up pic.twitter.com/1cByDsGLgU
— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) January 25, 2015Phil Davis is forever locked in that "just wait" stage.
— Chuck Mindenhall (@ChuckMindenhall) January 25, 2015*wakes up from Davis vs. Bader induced coma* #UFCStockholm
— Justin Ivey (@JustinIvey_) January 25, 2015It's a sitting silent ovation for Sicilia
— midnite (@123midnite) January 25, 2015That's the kind of KO you see when someone catches the dude who stole his wallet.
— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) January 25, 2015Ouch, @SamSiciliaMMA just force fed Akira Corassani a couple of 4oz sleeping pills. Out cold before he hit the mat. #UFCStockholm
— Greg Savage (@TheSavageTruth) January 25, 2015It's kind of strange to have a potential loser-leaves-town bout on the main card of a Fox-televised event. Feels prelim-ey.
— Tristen Critchfield (@TCritchfield52) January 25, 2015Tumenov earned it. Doubt he gets it, though. Do your worst, MMA judges.
— Dann Stupp (@DannStupp) January 25, 2015Musoke showed balls, body kicks, but Tumenov's jab just took over in R2, R3. Reminders of what a jab can do, how a crowd can elevate a fight
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) January 25, 2015new mma bettin strategy: guy who grew up closer to a cornfield wins or what the fuck ever
— GFKonMMA (@GFKonMMA) January 24, 2015Forrest Griffinski just got knocked out cold.
— Seán Sheehan (@SeanSheehanBA) January 24, 2015Rough week for Sultans.
— Suzanne Davis (@SoozieCuzie) January 24, 2015Get him some Aleve please
— caposa (@GrabakaHitman) January 24, 2015I think the Ogle stoppage was good. We have seen guys who start wrestling the refs are hurt bad. He got hit with some BIG shots.
— Dana White (@danawhite) January 24, 2015— midnite (@123midnite) January 24, 2015
Not Amirkhani's job to worry about the stoppage. Interview the ref if you wanna talk about this shit Joe.
— Greg Savage (@TheSavageTruth) January 24, 2015Makwan Amirkhani's KO in 0:08 ties the 5th fastest KO/TKO in UFC history.
— Michael Carroll (@MJCflipdascript) January 24, 2015"You see Ogle recover immediately." Rogan arguing with the fighter about the legitimacy of his 8 second KO.
— caposa (@GrabakaHitman) January 24, 2015— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) January 24, 2015
Christodoulou's body still jiggling from that KO. He'd test pretty well on the Homer Simpson body fat test: https://t.co/6MuRVc6Cxr
— Fightnomics Reed (@Fightnomics) January 24, 2015@MMARoasted found JBJ's prototype tale of the tape. pic.twitter.com/pHCRPlxCpH
— Mark (@mdr8892) January 24, 2015Let's face it...Christodoulou is a fatherweight.
— Chuck Mindenhall (@ChuckMindenhall) January 24, 2015Unofficial stat tracker shows the strike count as Bektic landing 135 to 7 for Redmond
— Heidi Fang (@HeidiFang) January 24, 2015I ranked Bektic as the best prospect in the world a year ago. He has tremendous physical gifts and a brutalizing top game.
— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) January 24, 2015Heavyweight fights like this are one reason why Cro Cop-Gonzaga II can headline a modern UFC card.

@MMARoasted after Benson Henderson saw Chris Beal lose by controversial decision he gave his TV...... pic.twitter.com/U04hsWAXHt
— David Spears (@Davei_Boi) January 24, 2015This is what an opening UFC prelim fight should look like. These are the types of talents in the types of career positions that should open.
— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) January 24, 2015Chris Beal is harder to to submit than a clean Vitor Belfort urine sample. #UFCStockholm
