WOW. Rumble Johnson completes the greatest career turnaround in
the history of MMA.

Rumble wrestled for Lassen Community College in California,
which strangely draws heavily from southeastern wrestlers. Like
Rampage Jackson

That was the 15th knockdown suffered by Dan Henderson, the most
in UFC/PRIDE/WEC/Strikeforce combined history.

Poor stoppage. Dan Henderson is a veteran who deserves to fight
back out of any situation. Bummer.

This is Dan Henderson we're talking about. You let that one go a
few ticks longer. That's a shame.

Clean shot on the temple...you know, the one on the back of your
head......

I love Leon Roberts, and I think Henderson would've got mashed
anyhow, but that stoppage stunk. Henderson barely got touched
there. Oof.

That's the kind of KO you see when someone catches the dude who

Ouch, @SamSiciliaMMA just force
fed Akira Corassani a couple of 4oz sleeping pills. Out cold before
he hit the mat. #UFCStockholm

It's kind of strange to have a potential loser-leaves-town bout
on the main card of a Fox-televised event. Feels prelim-ey.

Tumenov earned it. Doubt he gets it, though. Do your worst, MMA
judges.
— Dann Stupp (@DannStupp) January

Musoke showed balls, body kicks, but Tumenov's jab just took
over in R2, R3. Reminders of what a jab can do, how a crowd can
elevate a fight

I think the Ogle stoppage was good. We have seen guys who start
wrestling the refs are hurt bad. He got hit with some BIG
shots.

Not Amirkhani's job to worry about the stoppage. Interview the
ref if you wanna talk about this shit Joe.
— Greg Savage (@TheSavageTruth) January

Makwan Amirkhani's KO in 0:08 ties the 5th fastest KO/TKO in UFC
history.

Christodoulou's body still jiggling from that KO. He'd test
pretty well on the Homer Simpson body fat test: https://t.co/6MuRVc6Cxr

Unofficial stat tracker shows the strike count as Bektic landing
135 to 7 for Redmond
— Heidi Fang (@HeidiFang) January

I ranked Bektic as the best prospect in the world a year ago. He
has tremendous physical gifts and a brutalizing top game.

Heavyweight fights like this are one reason why Cro Cop-Gonzaga

This is what an opening UFC prelim fight should look like. These
are the types of talents in the types of career positions that
should open.

Chris Beal is harder to to submit than a clean Vitor Belfort
urine sample. #UFCStockholm
