Zingano: I wanna do it again. Just ... Fuck.
— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) March 1, 2015. @RondaRousey ties the record for fastest submission win in @ufc history. Prob the best armlock finish I've seen in the ufc. #UFC185
— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) March 1, 2015Rousey is definitely something special. Sadly, I don't think there is anyone who can challenge her in the UFC. #Cyborg
— Greg Savage (@TheSavageTruth) March 1, 2015Cat Zingano was the undefeated, unquestioned number one contender. And she lasted as long as Miley Cyrus would have.
— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) March 1, 201514 seconds. UFC record in a title fight.
— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) March 1, 2015Just incase Cyborg was feeling good about her 46 second stoppage...
— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) March 1, 2015Split decision for Holly Holm. If you were mentioning her in the same breath as Ronda Rousey, might want to ease off that.
— Josh Gross (@yay_yee) March 1, 2015Holm's footwork is effective, but it's not good. Constantly crossing her feet and coming square inside Pennington's punching range. #UFC184
— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) March 1, 2015Holm has found herself the first real fight of her career here. This isn't the cashier at Taco Bell

— Jason Nawara (@JasonNawara) March 1, 2015Lesson of the day: that peroxide job works better before age-related hair thinning sets in. #UFC184
— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) March 1, 2015Josh Koscheck's hairdresser just failed his drug test. #UFC184
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) March 1, 2015Me and Richard Walsh have something in common. I like to stand and bang, too.

Every time Ferguson moves away from attempts at reckless finishes, the better he looks.

"The Truck" finally had enough of Jay Glazer and turned out the lights on him. Literally.
— Robert Sargent (@MMARising) March 1, 2015Glad @kennyflorian and @MieshaTate took the referee to task for this. pic.twitter.com/F5JMOAARo9
— Josh Gross (@yay_yee) March 1, 2015Any person who doesn't understand ocular fixation should not be allowed to ref in the UFC. #ufc184
— Rener Gracie (@RenerGracie) March 1, 2015RT @FanSidedMMA: Thankfully Roan Carneiro eased up and got on the ref to call it #UFC184 pic.twitter.com/WWJqq4A6a0
— Erik Fontanez (@Erik_Fontanez) March 1, 2015great win for Carneiro but his Borat impression could use some work https://t.co/dSmIFcfs0M
— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) March 1, 2015
I think Jerin Valel made the mistake of looking at the eyes of Munoz. Sometimes the lights are on, but no one is really home.
— TJ De Santis (@TJDeSantis) March 1, 2015His eye was fingered harder than Amber Rose. #UFC184
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) March 1, 2015I haven't seen this many eye pokes since The Three Stooges. #UFC184
— Sherdog (@TheSherdoggy) March 1, 2015Kid Yamamoto looks like if Masakazu Imanari joined the yakuza.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) March 1, 2015I remember Yamamoto. He's the guy all the nerds mooned over, but couldn't handle an American Greco-roman guy moonlighting as a fighter
— Coach Mike (@coachmjr) March 1, 2015
UFC 184 will be the 1st card in the history of California,
where every single fighter on the card will be both urine & blood tested.

— E. Casey Leydon (@ekc) March 1, 2015When a fighter gets the position but forgets what to do with it pic.twitter.com/nyE557WJef
— Ash (@aGirlyMMA) March 1, 2015Means survived being shot and some prison time, but losing to a sauna in Seattle is a fight he'll never get back.
— Duane Finley (@DuaneFinleyMMA) March 1, 2015Dhiego "No, You're Thinking of the Other Lima" Lima.
— Suzanne Davis (@SoozieCuzie) March 1, 2015TUF is alive and well. Adopting the format first introduced by the IFL in 2008 that transformed the sport of MMA into a global phenomena

— Chad Dundas (@chaddundas) March 1, 2015I like Krause and he's fun, but he's the quintessential AAAA athlete - too good for the regionals, not quite good enough for the elite.
— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) March 1, 2015James Krause's eye is so black that Donald Sterling just tried to have it banned from The Staples Center. #UFC184
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) March 1, 2015You will never guess who I just ran into the bathroom!!! @bethecorreia!! Actually a very nice lady but I still wanna fight!! :-D
— Miesha Tate (@MieshaTate) March 1, 2015Gather more than one MMA journalist together and they'll compete to see who can bend over further backwards to defend bad UFC cards.
— Jonathan Snowden (@mmaencyclopedia) March 1, 2015Hug = a waste of five seconds of face punching.

Herb Dean: "Do not grab the fence. This is a HARD warning." I wonder where it ranks on the mohs scale? How close is it to a diamond warning?
— Iain Kidd (@iainkidd) March 1, 2015Lemme know when the UFC portion of the card starts.
— Mookie Alexander (@mookiealexander) March 1, 2015It's so quiet in the Staples Center right now you would think that the Lakers are playing. #UFC184
