WOWWWW!!!!!!

They got it wrong.
— Brian Campbell (@BCampbellESPN) November 17, 2013
PUSHUPS AT AGE 5. HEARTBREAK AT AGE 30.

GSP sounds nervous, like he know he stole something.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) November 17, 2013
Hmmmm interesting... YOU MMA JUDGES CAN SUCK A HUGE COCK!

St. Pierre: "I couldn't see with one of my eyes." Well, then what do you say about two of the cageside judges?
— Tristen Critchfield (@TCritchfield52) November 17, 2013
Apparently GSP is pregnant? #UFC167 #MMA

L-O-L. Our sport relies on 3 people just guessing.
— Ryan Loco (@RyanLoco) November 17, 2013
Slipping while running backwards costing St. Pierre would seem weirdly poetic, or at least make a lot of MMA fans morbidly pleased.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) November 17, 2013
What?! Johny Hendricks on top of Georges St. Pierre, LETS HIM UP. Looks around like, "Are you all watching this?"
— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) November 17, 2013
The fuck is Blackzillians? That's some racist shit! Never seen Team Whitezillians...lol
— War Machine (@WarMachine170) November 17, 2013
Waiting for Chael's "I did not tap out" soundbites.
— Tomasz J. Marciniak (@tjmarciniak) November 17, 2013
Lawler has looked damn good since hooking up with ATT. Winner of Condit-Brown would be an orgasmically violent pairing. May we be blessed.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) November 17, 2013
Robbie Lawler entered the UFC having lost 3 of 4. Now he's a top-5 WW. This sport is crazy.
— Shaun Al-Shatti (@shaunalshatti) November 17, 2013
After absorbing a 10-8 thumping already, Woodley lays human waste to Koscheck with two right-handed sawed off Mossberg blasts. Brutality.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) November 17, 2013
Josh Koscheck, part of the rich UFC tradition of stars getting put through the woodchipper in their final fights
— Jack (@SherdogRewind) November 17, 2013
Tyron Woodley just made Koscheck's ears wiggle with that right hand KO. Ears. Wiggle.
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) November 17, 2013
Koschek just poked 7 Fans during his walk to the Octagon. #UFC167

— GFKonMMA (@GFKonMMA) November 17, 2013
Tim Elliott probably thinks Jeff Foxworthy is funny, but the guy can legitimately fight.
— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) November 17, 2013
Joe Rogan just said GSP was on top of the food pyramid. So he's fats, oils and sweets? #UFC167
— Yael Grauer (@yaelwrites) November 17, 2013
"ok UFC what kind of lyrics would you like for your theme song?" "we're really looking for something that tells the viewer they are a pussy"
— Chris Nelson (@3amMMA) November 17, 2013
Joe just said "reverse cowboy"
— Women's MMA Roundup (@wmmaroundup) November 17, 2013
OPINION: Keith Kizer will likely propose to Winslow for her performance tonight.
— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) November 17, 2013
God, that was flagrant rule-breaking. Ed Herman promoted to Nature Boy Status for that fence-grab. Kim Winslow banished from the land.

Any time I see Ebersole, all I see is this. #UFC167 pic.twitter.com/Ae7F4rcnyT

Time to see if Erik Perez can join the Tiequan Zhang All-Stars.
— Tomas Rios (@TheTomasRios) November 17, 2013
When asked if he wanted to "Touch Gloves" Campuzano said "Yes" and then put on a condom. #UFC167
— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) November 17, 2013
@JoshGrossESPN Awful. He would've been 8-years old.
