I'm still unclear on how the TUF Finale is going to work for the guys on the show.

I thought Bosse re-retired? If he fights, I'm super interested in seeing that.

I don't like Machida getting back in there so soon. I really don't want to see him lose to a guy like Romero.

Visa issues require massive changes to UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Romero

Visa issues have forced the UFC to make major changes to the upcoming UFC Fight Night card in Hollywood, Fla. with several bouts cancelled including the co-main event between Rick Story and Erick Silva.

According to a release from the UFC on Friday, "an issue affecting the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs visa system and a technical problem with the Consular Consolidated Database" prevented several international fighters from securing visas to travel to the United States in time for the card next weekend in Florida.

12 fighters in total were unable to obtain visas and had to be pulled from the card.

The UFC will move forward with the fight card although major changes were made to facilitate the show still taking place....

Woah. Strange, since the card actually managed to remain intact from injury. Unbelievable.

NHL guy just got hit with a KO of the year candidate in like 20 seconds...wow.

I'm nervous for Machida. He's better than Romero, but he's coming back too soon and its a small cage which makes things nervewrecking.

It looked like Bosse was trying to jersey the guy with his lead hand.

Herb Dean f*n sucks man. That fight legit went on a full minute too long. He didn't even step in, it looked like Larkin legit just stopped beating on the guy and walked away.

edit: lol just saw the replay, Larkin just looked at Herb like are you stupid dude?

I agree. I'm watching this guy's head being used like a tetherball waiting and waiting for Dean to step in.

Ok, this fight needs to end like right now. I made a huge error in decision making tonight(my own fault, not related to betting or anything though).

I really don't want it to go anther 2 rounds. So somebody win it right now please! Lolz!
