Top 3 toughest fighters in the UFC are all at 145: Frankie Edgar, Nick Lentz, Darren Elkins. Honestly Brian Ortega may not be too far from the top either. All of those guys can be taking absolute ass kickings and then finish the fight out of nowhere.

Also there is no way Darren Elkins washes his hair. Ever.

Typical Michael Johnson loss. Always a fast start, shows great glimpses but then he just crumbles.

Oh snap didn't realize PVZ was fighting. My favorite fade in the promotion.

The ONE and only thing better than watching someone getting absolutely grapple-f*cked in MMA is watching a bunch of neckbeards boo it because they wanna watch bros bang. Love it.

How do you not finish that triangle? That was embarrassing. Very low level fight.

Thanks Stephens and PVZ for a nice betting night. Success all around assuming Stephens doesn't assault anyone on the way home.

Stephens was a beast tonight took some hard shots and was still able to slow down the hype train in Choi ..

vs. Ortega would be a fun fight.

MJ is pretty much done once you get him on the ground. His sub defense is notoriously terrible. It's just normally a tough task to get him down there. Don't think I want to ever see him fight at 145. He looked kind of gross. Eyes sunken in, skin dehydrated, too skinny for his frame. He's a muscular guy. It's a desperation move.

Stephens-Choi went pretty much as expected. Choi was restraining himself from brawling more than I thought, but in the end he kind of succumbed to it, and fought short/exposed between the naked leg kick and lack or reach/range tools. Sucks to see Stephens still remaining relevant. He's likes to fight guy and I wish he'd get what he asked for and gotten beaten up more.

LL Cool JK:

While viewership was up across the board, the show had far more women’s viewership than usual, particularly in the 12-34 age group.
The prelims, headlined by James Krause’s decision win over Alex White, did 1,079,000 viewers on television and a record-setting 21,982 viewers streaming

High cheek bones, great hair, and lean muscle. Don't tell me ladies aren't superficial.

You think women knew of James Krause, found out he was fighting, and tuned in for his prelim fight at some rate above other UFC non-factor fighters?

I don't know. It's hard to explain. I was half kidding. Maybe the guy has a reality show on Oxygen I don't know about.

No, not at all. He's a 7, at best.

I think maybe someone on here has a crush for over-groomed dullards.

No way that's a coincidence. Both sorta dull, inexpressive, no affect, $100 hair cuts, groomed eyebrows... "Ladies tune in for them".

It all makes sense.

Never purported to be a fan of Krause, like I am Pettis. Pettis was widely regarded as the most electric fighter in mma before the injuries and head trauma. If you couldn't get excited watching him, that's your complex.

And I was just passing along that fun fact about Krause's fight. Thought it was curious. Ya know, I didn't write the article, and wasn't one of the extra women that tuned in to that fight.

Looks-wise, pretty sure they do well in aesthetics tests. That's just science. As far as what generates sparks in you among men, again you're the expert there. I'd just be saying it as a joke. It's obviously very natural for you and you're particular. So I'll take your word for it.
