Anyone else watching it?

U have ESPN?

[deevlash]

I do indeed, what a card! That was a fantastic night of fights, brutal KO's, submissions, 7 second victories and a 3 round war in the main event, brilliant!

[Don1]

Full results please?

[Fittster]

Does anyone else think Randy should retire? Sure he can still take a lot of punishment but I'm not sure I can see him beating anyone significant.

[Fittster]

I've never noticed how annoying the introductions were before.

"Introducing Joe Bloggs, fighting out of the blue corner. This man is a mixed martial artist with a record of blah, blah."

Well he's not likely to be a pastry chef is he.

[Halb]

damn and blast espn...though the sound of the card might tempt me blast it.


Introducing Fittster, fighting out of the Piston Heads corner. This man is a pastry chef with a record of 8.764 posts

He has just signed a Six fight contract extension!

He will have a telegram from the Queen before he gets to fight six. I can only assume he needs the money.

[deevlash]

if he loses all 6 fights his record will be a decidedly mediocre 16-16 and yet he's a UFC hall of famer.

useless fact from last night, Big nog at 33 is younger than Randy was when he made his pro mma debut!

In fairness Tuchscherer probably had greater concerns than the result!
