Damn, I like this card quite a bit. Excited to see if Holm can improve, Craig/Good will be a FOTN candidate, Andrade, Meza, PUNK.
Quick turnaround for Giblert, I'm guessing they want to move those jerseys.
You'd have to think Jorgensen would get cut if he loses, making that beaucoup Reebok grip while being a middling fighter on the undercard. Has never been a draw and hasn't been a quality fighter in a good 8-9 fights.

LOL @ Cowboy offering to step in for Gil.
What a nutjob, although watching him smack Iaquinta around would be worth it.

This is tonight. Throwback to when Todd Duffee went on TRT at like 18 years old.

Tuning into this now. Just in time to see Gamburyan fake a low blow and then low blow Jorgensen.
Neither of these guys is very good anymore but it was obvious that this fight was going to be super fun just based on the scrambles alone. Honestly though the striking is just abysmal.

I won't lie I'm not really a believer in Holm. I was thinking of throwing a few bucks on the teacher chick but passed, don't want to lose a spur of the moment bet.

Glad I didn't bet. I thought the other chick came to fight and not just get kicked in her head and body all night. I don't understand how the course of an entire fight, you don't try to change levels at least one time.
Her coach is pretty hilarious though: YOU GO GET HER MO! I SAID GO GET HER BRUISER!!!!!
Also, Holm sounds like a street fighter character when she throws.

Holm looked a lot better than her debut. Although opponent may explain some of that.

I do not like Tony Ferguson due to how douchy he was on tuf.
That said, there probably isn't a single person on the planet I'd rather watch fight. Honestly, zero people. He gives NO F***S at all and is not scared to grapple or stand or whatever. Its so refreshing.
Josh Thomson one of the top 4-5 toughest guys in the sport I'm thinking.

Wow, they won't even show Duffee. I'm not being facetious when I say I hope he isn't dead or serious injured. My god.

Yeah! I hope he's ok! That was absurd! Wow!
EDIT: Good thing/I am glad I'm not paying for this! Hahaah!
(No, I don't even have Fox Sports up here in Canada).

How was Mir an underdog against Duffee?

I don't know, but whoever was in charge of doing the odds looks like a fool now! Lolz!

He's old and fat and had one win in the four years before this fight? Granted, Duffee's resume wasn't impressive.
