That's an awesome card! Woah woah. So many talented match-ups of exciting fighters.

Like the old Spike fight nights 7-10 years ago. (Also, a few fights that would have been more relevant 7-10 years ago, but alas...)

Garbrandt seems to be a major ass****, would like to see Almeida give him the Pickett treatment or land one of those insane spiking right hands.

Realized that the fact there is virtually no one above 155 save 1-2 fights is a major factor in this being so filled with awesome match-ups.

Ariel keeps comparing it to an old versus wec card which I think is apt.

I wish we (me) could have appreciated that those 155 WEC guys were also world class.

There's 0% chance that Jeremy Stephens isn't a scumbag in every walk of life.

This is really good. Admittedly, I don't recognize some names, but the ones I do are in great matchups.

Sterling vs. Caraway on the pre-prelims? Nuts. I thought Sterling re-signed and was therefore out of the doghouse. Should be showcased as he can't be that far away from a title shot.

Mostly everyone from Team Alpha Male comes off that way, you see just how "douchey" those guys are if you listen to their podcast. Justin Buchholz (their head trainer) can be pretty unbearable. That's why I always thought Dillashaw was the perfect fit there, haha.

It's ironic though because Faber is pure class.

De La Rocha - Milstead was a brawl... I was really enjoying that fight.
I don't know about that stoppage though? That was really bad, imo. I definitely thought De La Rocha was still in it, and could've arguably been winning that fight.

A little surprised at all the empty seats for arguably the most important fight on the card.

Sterling looked like he just didn't have the gas tank, little weird.

Don't know how that was split.

Strange lots of media scores gave the first 10-8, when I didn't really consider it and I'm typically more liberal with those. Stann harping on it may have contributed...

I didn't see it as a 10-8 either, I think someone has to really dominate, but at the same time I can definitely see why they did give it him.

I hope they don't cut my man Shane :( he has some of the best Muay Thai by far, always a joy to watch.

I didn't see the fight but its pretty hilarious that Caraway beat Sterling after all the sh*t Sterling has talked about him for months and months.

Caraway still a douche though lol.

I was really looking forward to Eye-McMann but that was a snooze fest.

Collier showed great heart against Uda, and the Abel fight was decent... but nothing really stood out in the prelims.....

Bit of a let down considering the early prelims had 2 good fights that were worth replaying.

Haha yea okay McMann, I'm sure they will give you a title shot. Anyone catch the dude who fell asleep outside the cage during the fight?
