rough night for Jeremy Stephens, gets lumped up by Swanson and then denied a handshake by Anik pic.twitter.com/B5rHrQmB9c
— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) June 29, 2014Great fight, I have it 3-2 Cub. How do u have it?
— Dana White (@danawhite) June 29, 2014My guys in the truck are saying Jeremy broke his hand. We will see this next break
— Dana White (@danawhite) June 29, 2014Damn, that Russian in Cub's corner sure does a fantastic American accent.
— Suzanne Davis (@SoozieCuzie) June 29, 2014Bruce 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
— Dana White (@danawhite) June 29, 2014@MMARoasted After missing weight Kelvin Gastelums mom cancelled his after party at Cold Stone. #UFCFightNight
— Paul Schultz (@thepaulschultz) June 29, 2014Andrew Craig is only good for 17 seconds of action. My ex-girlfriend accused me of that too. Bitch.
— Tim B (@TB_Money) June 29, 2014Would 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.
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) June 29, 2014They should just draw a name out of a hat and save everyone a bunch of black eyes and brain cells.
— Dann Stupp (@MMAjunkieDann) June 29, 2014scoring is based on effective striking, grappling, aggression, octagon control, or just whatever
— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) June 29, 2014MMA 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.
— Sherdog (@TheSherdoggy) June 29, 2014Good fight by Ellenberger and Moontasri, but I can help but think that Chael Sonnen would try to inject them into his bloodstream somehow.
— jim genia (@jim_genia) June 29, 2014Speaking of Chael, I wonder what Joe could do to achieve Jake's massive upper body?
— midnite (@123midnite) June 29, 2014How 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
— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) June 29, 2014Finally, an exciting Colton Smith fight.
— jim genia (@jim_genia) June 29, 2014And 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 29, 2014Looks like Colton Smith has some tough decisions in his future...WSOF on NBCSN or TitanFC on CBSSN.....
— Robert Joyner (@robnashville) June 29, 2014I LOVE WHEN REFS RUIN FIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Dana White (@danawhite) June 29, 2014A bad early stoppage that results in more Karyn Bryant on my TV...talk about a lose-lose situation.
— jjj2121 (@jjj2121) June 29, 2014Memo 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.

ANDROL: The teleprompter is broken so JACKSON: . . . ANDROL: Greg what's it like being a coacherman JACKSON: . . . ANDROL: Back to you guys
— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) June 29, 2014
Andy Endz always pays cash or credit because he doesn't believe in checks. #UFCFightNight
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) June 29, 2014Enz is from Alaska. People in Alaska can see Russia from their houses. Conclusion: Enz knows Sambo.
— Suzanne Davis (@SoozieCuzie) June 29, 2014Is that a scene from game of thrones on the back of Guimares? looks like The Dog vs Brienne of Tarth or some shit....
— Robert Joyner (@robnashville) June 29, 2014HE IS RAY BORG. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
— Chris Nelson (@3ammma) June 29, 2014Borg 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 29, 2014Ray 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.
— Josh Gross (@yay_yee) June 29, 2014Take notice people, neck cranks are still ending fights in the UFC. What a statement for heavyweights.
— TJ De Santis (@TJDeSantis) June 28, 2014I really don't see how that neck crank submits people, but damn, I guess it does.
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) June 28, 2014Two UFC heavyweight newcomers, combined age of 71. Man, the division really needs some legit, young prospects.
