Practically every fighter's family asks him to stop fighting.
That's a non-story to me.

I'm not necessarily seeing overt physical decline from Silva,
but his ability to make clean, effortless striking choices looks
rusty.

I think Tony Frykund just had a flashback when Anderson threw
that elbow.

Diaz just pulled a wedgie out his ass. For real. In the middle
of a fight.

Smart stoppage by Marc Goddard. Joe Lauzon was grateful. See him
pat Goddard? Quality win by Al Iaquinta.

"That was an excellent stoppage by Marc Goddard." Maybe if
you're on a seven-second delay, Joe.

Great win for Al Iaquinta, who looks like a black-and-white
snapshot of your grandpa, from back when he fought Golden
Gloves.

Tate's grappling is deeply underrated. She's not a speed
transition player, which is why Rousey gives her probs. But she
slowly overwhelms.
— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) February

Joe, is it surprising that Tate out grappled her? I mean, they
both wrestled in high school.

The energy provided by that whole cheesecake Lineker scarfed
down is really giving him an edge.Curious to see what he eats
before Round 3.

"One of the things that separates Lineker from the other flyweights," says Joe Rogan. That and the extra 5 pounds.

So sorry to all my fans and apologize to Diego for the
inconvenience. Had some medical issues and the doctors were looking
out for me.

Hearing guys at the bar complain about the women's fight not
