Longest active UFC winning streaks: Jon Jones (13), Demetrious Johnson (10) and Max Holloway (nine). #UFC199
— Mike Bohn (@MikeBohnMMA) June 5, 2016
Max Holloway has a little Erik Morales in him. He can box beautifully, but sometimes the dude just wants to throw down, and he does.

Dan Henderson has been competing in combat sports for 40 years. I'm not sure we will ever seen anyone like him again.

He isn't ready to do that quite yet.
In his dressing room, Bisping is experiencing PTSD symptoms. #hbomb

Vick's got a chin on him. Unfortunately, Beneil Dariush also appears to have the Anthony Johnson touch-my-eye-and-die-motherfucker gene.

"Classic accidental eyepoke."
— The Naked Gambler (@NakedGambling) June 5, 2016
Indeed Joe, the ol' thrust-your-fingers-out-at-eye-level is the quintessential accidental eyepoke.
Andrade was extremely successful with that combo.

Why does Jessica Penne's corner hate her?
— Jonathan Snowden (@JESnowden) June 5, 2016
Does it baffle anyone else that Penne's background is striking?
— Connor Ruebusch (@BoxingBusch) June 5, 2016
Penne's inability to move her head or parry strikes would be conducive to a short and brutal career in any other division.
— The Naked Gambler (@NakedGambling) June 5, 2016
Gotta throw Jessica Penne against the wall. If she sticks, she's done.
