Hope you didn't turn off the PPV. UFC crew did great job of finding when the toe broke. It was during the fight.

Vince McMahon will be calling Chael Sonnen in the morning folks.

Looks like @jonnybones broke his toe sometime after the stoppage because it looks good when he walks away from Sonnen twitter.com/deadprezbets/s…

Sonnen is sponsored by an online mortgage lender. Elite level trolling right there.

When two high level grapplers only fight standing is like watching porn where they only make out. #ufc159

If I'm ever "late" I'm gonna request a fight with Miller cause he makes everybody bleed.

The guy half-responsible for "just coast" becoming an MMA meme is coming out to "Push It" by Salt n Pepa? OK, then.

Have we considered hooking Leonard Garcia up to a generator and using his windmills as a natural energy source?

Leonard Garcia joins Steve Cantwell w/ 5-fight UFC losing streaks. Both Baroni & Elvis Sinosic lost 6 straight, but in 2 separate tenures.
