Ed Herman is exactly the kind of guy you do not want to fight in a bar. Doesn’t have the sculpted body but if he gets his hands on you it’s lights out St Peter.

[StoneWall Brigade]

Yes! Patrick won I’m off to a good start I am hoping that my picks on the main card, pan out.

[Manic_Episode]

Accidental headbutt, eye poke, groin shot etc.

[jwalsh07]

I agree on his badmouthing of Dillashaw. Its kind of petty. And while Uriah is a tough sob his time is over. He can’t win the big ones any more.

[Manic_Episode]

Yeah, Uriah is on the decline and it's sad that's what he has to resort to.

[jwalsh07]

Accidental illegal strikes where one guy can not continue are NC. Kind of like boxing where an accidental head butt opens a big cut and the doc stops the fight.

[Manic_Episode]

I died laughing when I saw this:

[Manic_Episode]

Yum!

[Manic_Episode]

My toughest friend looks like Peewee Herman. I'm not scared to go anywhere with that guy. His last fight was 2 guys, lasted 1 second.

Yup, can't judge a book by it's paperback cover.

[jwalsh07]

Toughest guy I ever fought looked like the Pillsbury Doughboy. But man was he strong. I mean I’m 64 now but had what you might call a misspent youth that included a lot of brawls. He got his hands on me and I was like... Oh Sh6T!

[Manic_Episode]

Not fun!

The Official Result Francisco Trinaldo def. Ross Pearson via Unanimous Decision

Next up:

265lbs Travis Browne vs. Matt Mitrione

Go Meathead!

[jwalsh07]

I just can not figure out UFC judging. Two judges had it 30-27 Trinaldo. We had to be watching different fights. Trinaldo spent round 3 running away from Pearson.

[Manic_Episode]

Seems they don't factor in aggression?

I know Dana White does.

[Impy]

Dillashaw left Team Alpha Male.

I think most trash talk is just play acting on the part of the fighters who do it.

[chris37]

Poor Matt. Christ.

That was hard to watch.

I think he might be on his way out soon.

[Manic_Episode]

Travis Browne TKO Round 3.

Next up:

155lbs Eddie Alvarez vs. Anthony Pettis

[Manic_Episode]

I see him being cut. Probably will go to Bellator.

[Impy]

Eliza Dushku likes MMA? My heart’s just been TKOed.

Clay Guida once spent the better part of 5 rounds literally running away from Gray Maynard. He lost, but it was a split decision.
