I feel like the only way anyone beats MM is
a freak in fight injury. This guy is the most dominant fighter in
UFC history.

I always half-expect Dodson to pull a
quarter out from behind DJ's ear when they're clinched up against
the fence.

Whenever Fedor has doubts about how he'll
perform in the UFC, all he needs to do is watch this fight and his
spirits will be raised.

Rumble Johnson comes by media row and tells

The only reason this fight is on the main card is so people who watched PVZ vs. Chambers had time to get a sock for post-fight cleanup.

Lineker looked great. He also did look very,
very small. You can see why he and his team wanted to be at
125.
— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) September

Hope fighters start deciding massive weight
cuts ain't worth the squeeze. Lineker smashes at 135.

This is Nevada, right? Good luck, Stallings.
Rivera's on the card. Go ask him.

This is unbelievably stupid. The illegal
kick quite obviously didn't cause the injury. How incompetent does
ref have to be to not get that?

existentially meaningless UFC fight of the fall, and I stand by
that assessment. #UFC191
