UFC/MMA Ping, let me know if you want on/off the list.

Former Bantamw Champ Renan Barao was on the early prelims, he was KOed after missing weight again. He’s now lost 4 in a row and 7 of 9.

I’ll take Cain and Felder

I’ll take Cain.

I’m not familiar with these other guys.

I also wanted to add, oh boy, Matt Mitrione destroyed Sergei Kharitonov last night by rupturing his testicle apparently.

That was probably the worst nut shot aftermath I’ve seen in the cage so far.

MVP vs Daley I thought was a bit underwhelming but also exposed MVP’s no ground game.

Oh, and the UFC’s new website layout SUCKS!

I’ll go with Cain and Vick to come back from that loss to Gaejthe.

I always like watching Aldergmain Sterling. Always gives a good show.

Here it go!

The thing that was unusual about this aftermath was Sergei, during the 5 minute recovery period, asked a doctor to come in and hold his cup away from his privates while it remained in his pants in order to relieve pressure.

He also appeared to be in exceptional agony. Poor bastard.

Kron Gracie taps out Bruce Leeroy easily.

That last fight was short-lived.

Velasquez’s knee buckled, couldn’t have gone worse for him. I hope it’s not hurt bad.

The only punches landed on Cain (two)were when he was on the ground.
