We'll be back in 2 weeks for UFC on Fox 18 - Johnson vs. Bader. See you all there!
Don’t miss “Final Jeopardy” today!
I have never seen anything like that, three zeroes to end the game.
I was hoping it would happen when I saw the scores (made sense for everyone to bet it all) and it did!
One of them should have got that question though.
I know it’s happened before a few times but I had never seen it. You tube has a vid from a teen tourney in 2013

Judges must have given Cruz a huge advantage on the take downs even though he did nothing with them. Dillishaw didn’t have any take downs. In wrestling the take down is big.I thought it should have gone to Cruz because of the take downs even if you don’t count them as huge points. They traded boxing shots. Dillishaw had better kicks and Cruz had the take downs. 1 point win for Cruz. Now if you factor in aggression it could have been a draw because Dillishaw was the aggressor by far.
Picks to win, Barnett and Rumble
Rothwell wins by sub, Wiki says Rothwell is a BJJ purple belt, Barnett who had never been subbed before (tapped before once to strikes and once due to injury) is a Black belt.
Shows the inherent unpredictability of MMA.
Bader walking out to “Paint it Black”, I fear for my pick.
Anonthy, Rumble Johnson. Came to fight tonight good win
Curbstomp!
Avoid his fists like the plague if you want to beat him.
Ben Rothwell’s sub was sick and to a blackbelt none the less.
I really enjoyed seeing Bruce Leeroy get a win tonight.
It’s been a bit of a rough streak for him.
Also, Super Sage got subbed. WOW!
And Anthony Johnson is just freakin’ amazing! I would really, love to see him take the title from Jones, that is assuming Jones gets it back.
In lieu of that, I would settle for seeing Johnson simply beat Jones. Hate that guy!
I think Jones will get it back, with authority. Can’t wait to see him fight Rumble. I’d root for Rumble all the way, I like him much better than Jones and DC.
Very glad Bruce Leeroy won, fun fighter.
I went 1-3 on Main Card picks. ;d
yeah, Leeroy is great! He even moves like Bruce at times, but of course there is only one Bruce.
I’m not looking forward to Jones’ return. Maybe he’ll get himself together, but I ain’t holding my breath.
So I noticed that Luke Rockhold, has to defend his title against Chris Weidman. My question is what is Dana and Joe Silva, smoking? I mean Weidman clearly got his a$$ kicked is their no one else in the Middle weight that is more deserving? I remember a time when the Middle weight was stacked regardless, of Anderson’s winning streak. Also it’s been reported that Bendo has signed with Bellator that is a pick up if Bellator uses him right and puts him good fights, but with Scott Coker I have my doubts.
Whoa, Benson did sign with Bellator!
A lot of people think he’s boring, a decision fighter, but I have come to love that dude.
Yeah I’m a huge Bendo fan, I hope he does great in Bellator and proves some of his nay-sayers wrong.
Supposedly, there is no one else right now for Rockhold in the immediate future. Jacare lost his last bout to a possibly juiced up Romero. So that blew the obvious choices.
Good move possibly for Bendo but yeah Coker...LOL
I can’t find a rationale for this decision. Rematch with Vitor to avenge his loss or Souza (despite him coming off a SD loss to Romero, Weidman is coming off a butt kicking) make more sense to me, instead they are fighting each other.
Bendo to Bellator? Wow! I really liked his move up to 170 in the UFC, I think he’s more exciting at that weight class.
