Lim is backstage and basically being carried by his cornermen.
Can't walk on his own to the medical tent.

@mmaencyclopedia Lim
deserves a bonus, but not Saff. @danawhite needs to institute a
Heart of the Night bonus. @ufc

Love guys like Lim who don't roll over. Comes out like a
BEAST

I think Tarec Saffiedine might be the guy to finally amputate
Robert M.F. Lawler, Esq.'s leg(s).
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) January

Historically, 19% of Tarec Saffiedine's standing strikes are
aimed at the legs. That's twice the average rate.

Why would he not stand up right now?
— Dana White (@danawhite) January

Saffiedine should hope he keeps getting headlining spots on
small cards; his surgical, tactical style is so conducive to
five-round success.

I think Kawajiri's postfight speech was written by the guy who
handled the sign language at Nelson Mandela's funeral.

I think I've figured out how the UFC can make millions on PPV -
Kawajiri the commentator.

Referee Steve Perceval stands there looking right at Sean
Soriano, sees him tap, does absolutely nothing and lets him get
choked out. Sigh.
— Robert Sargent (@MMARising) January

Kawajiri rolling into the UFC like Yojimbo. Just made Soriano
bend like a comma.

Luiz Dutra needs to watch the Travis Browne instructional video
on how to land legal and effective elbows with your back to the
cage ASAP.

Steve Perceval: putting the "ass" in UFC Fight Pass
— Chris Nelson (@3amMMA) January 4,
2014
That second elbow had an arc to it which means definitionally
it's not 12-6. Is Steve Perceval trying to get booed in multiple
countries?

How you going to deduct TWO points for that? One point? OK. Two
is overly punitive IMO. #UFC

I always knew this day would come: a Japanese journeyman
nicknamed after Dave motherfucking Strasser makes his never-awaited
UFC debut.

Fights & french toast. MMA & mimosas. Punches & pancakes. Bacon

Chope going for that elusive "get knocked out twice in one
fight" achievement.

Ooh a spinning back kick to the body *fans self*

Hit them in the face, hit them in the body, make them bleed and
drink all the blood. Max Holloway is a reliable all-action hero in
the cage.

Quinn Mulhern is a solid fighter, watching him look positively
terrified of Kikuno and pull guard like Nick Serra on meth is a big
bum out.
— Jordan Breen (@jordanbreen) January

I'm not even mad at Wee for sitting in guard or half guard. He
hasn't developed many other skills yet. What else is he supposed to
do?

@MMARoasted Why are
these fights called the pre-Lims and not the pre-Saffiedines?
Favouritism?

First leg kick I've seen since Anderson's a week ago. I got
scared as he threw it. Are we scarred for life now?

As if it wasn't hard enough staying awake, they have Anik
