I am really excited for this card, I wish I made the trip to Ottawa but the tickets sold out much faster than i anticipated.

Misha Cirkunov trains at the local gym where I live, met him a few times. Class act through and through.

Randa Markos might be fighting for her job at this point, but i'm a huge fan of her too.

Also want to give Jason Saggo a shout, you will rarely find fighters coming out of the Eastern coast of Canada, especially in a small place like PEI.

Rory vs. Wonderboy is the definition of a "pick em" fight. I just think Rory's ground game is the deciding factor in this one.

i love the idea of these two fighting, but I hate that they are. They are close friends, and yes, I know it;s a business, but I don't like it unless a title is on the line.
I think the fight might end up underwhelming because of the friendship.

Never picked against Rory, and not gonna start now. I think he gets the KO actually.

I like how GSP appeared more in Rory's fight promo.

Also, lol'd at the crowd chanting "we want AC"

Bosse vs. O'Connell...what a fight.
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

Great night of fights so far, that last fight between Bosse & O'Connell was absurd.

How could anyone give Bosse all 3 rounds? Great fight.

Shocked Cowboy is only -160. Never a fan of betting guys at less than -130ish but that seems like a really good price.

Cerrone looks good at 170. But can he hang with the top fighters in that division?

My god, ref should institute a 10 knockdown rule in this fight and end it. Cerrone beating the crap out of Cote. Dominance.

edit: Nvm, tko.

What's with these UFC cards running so late lately? I remember when the main even would always go off around 12 eastern time now they go off around 1 a lot of the time.

He has really grown on me in the last few years. And he looked great tonight.

He's everything a fighter should be. Always game, always in shape and always willing to fight anyone on 5 minutes notice.
