I enjoyed it... camp vs. camp was a nice twist. I thought Steve Carl would walk through the roster, based 100% on his victory over Burkman, but that didn't happen.

Having this the day after "the biggest event of the year" makes no sense. Don't remember anything about Magana, but Waterson is going to be undersized even in a division that has a lot of undersized fighters.

I may be a hater but I really hope Magana loses. Just watching her "I'm the queen" shtick after she gets cut from the ufc would be so amazing.

edit: That said, may have to bet on Magana. She's like +400 to +500 and she is a lot bigger.

This Michelle Waterson chick is really impressive! Dominating fight so far.

wonderboy is a beast. Ellenberger was knocking on the door of being done when he last fought.

Ellenberger's peak in UFC was his very first fight.

Watched this season (kinda sucked, but I watched it all), so I watched the finale.

Waterson looked great after getting through that early armbar threat. And goddamn adorable.

Not sure what to make of Masvidal's prospects at 170. Didn't even know that was happening, TBH. Seemed to be getting pushed around a bit, but Mutante was huge, coming down from 185. Masvidal vs. Wonderboy would be fun.

Speaking of, Wonderboy looked good. Got through some adversity for a highlight finish. Not sure his ceiling is that high, but at least he's a guy that can be in good fights.

Not much to say about the TUF guys. Really don't like Graves or Hassan, Usman might have some upside, and Luque(?) has some tools but is probably not UFC level, even with that not meaning much anymore.

I'm excited for cbr's thoughts on Thompson (in 6-8 weeks when he downloads or dvrs it). He is so fun to watch its amazing, although I feel like he takes shots.
