My guys in the truck are saying Jeremy broke his hand. We will
see this next break

Damn, that Russian in Cub's corner sure does a fantastic
American accent.

Bruce should have shouted its about time!
— Sherdog (@TheSherdoggy) June 29, 2014
So far he would have fight of the night but isn't eligible for a
bonus cause he didn't make weight. Might have cost him 50k

Andrew Craig is only good for 17 seconds of action. My
ex-girlfriend accused me of that too. Bitch.

Would the blood from Craig's cut be going into his eyes if it weren't for the cornrows? Sweet look and efficient.

Dias and Lamas have both committed to the 'I'm not going to give
you the chance to do anything cool' fighting style here.

They should just draw a name out of a hat and save everyone a
bunch of black eyes and brain cells.

scoring is based on effective striking, grappling, aggression,
octagon control, or just whatever

MMA judging always keeping people on the edge of their seats.
Its good for TV instead of getting a beer you stay put to see the
decision.

Good fight by Ellenberger and Moontasri, but I can help but
think that Chael Sonnen would try to inject them into his
bloodstream somehow.

Speaking of Chael, I wonder what Joe could do to achieve Jake's
massive upper body?

How many MMA writers stopped watching the fight card to put their Chael Sonnen posts together?

congrats to Carlos Diego Ferreira and the small alien inside his
ear who pilots him pic.twitter.com/gH7JZ3HiYk

Finally, an exciting Colton Smith fight.

And Colton Smith's UFC career ends after getting judo tossed and
no hooks rear naked choked .... Worst career ever by a TUF
champion.
— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) June

Looks like Colton Smith has some tough decisions in his
future...WSOF on NBCSN or TitanFC on CBSSN.....

A bad early stoppage that results in more Karyn Bryant on my
TV...talk about a lose-lose situation.

Memo to Texas athletic inspectors working the #UFCFightNight show in San Antonio: stop staring off into space & watch your damn fighters.
— FightOpinion (@FightOpinion) June 29, 2014
I don't know who was more stiff, Bedford or the referee stepping in to make the stoppage…
— Sherdog.com (@sherdogdotcom) June 29, 2014
Kerry Hatley's stoppage was worse than the 30-27 card for Enz.

Andy Endz always pays cash or credit because he doesn't believe
in checks. #UFCFightNight

Enz is from Alaska. People in Alaska can see Russia from their
houses. Conclusion: Enz knows Sambo.

Is that a scene from game of thrones on the back of Guimares?
looks like The Dog vs Brienne of Tarth or some shit....

HE IS RAY BORG. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. RESISTANCE IS
FUTILE.

Borg asks the crowd for applause, asks Joe Silva for a
performance bonus, does not vow to assimilate us all. Missed
opportunity, bro.
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) June

Ray Borg couldn't afford a loss against a guy like Shane Howell.
Set up as as non-competitive and there you have it. Made it look
simple.

Take notice people, neck cranks are still ending fights in the
UFC. What a statement for heavyweights.
— TJ De Santis (@TJDeSantis) June

I really don't see how that neck crank submits people, but damn,
I guess it does.

Two UFC heavyweight newcomers, combined age of 71. Man, the
division really needs some legit, young prospects.
