How did he lose that, he was throwing 1 punch

[TheShizNo1]

That was vicious and came out of nowhere.

Not really. One of those wild punches just finally landed.

1-1 on the main card. Was Cain crying at the end?

Kenny looks confused.

Yeah Mike Goldberg and Florian, kids should definitely seek to mimic the standup of a guy who has been KO'd in 3 of his last 4 fights.

Yep.....he was. A Brazilian losing at home to a 1 trick pony. Cane tried to get too cute and didn't respect that power.

He has good standup. His fights against Diabate and Rodrigo were just bad matchups for him.

He has awful standup defense. His bad matchup is anyone who can throw a solid punch with their left hand. Diabate and Rogerio are both southpaws and Nedkov's left hand was what led to Cane seeing stars.

Yes he does. It doesn't help him having a glass jaw either. What is with Nog-Schaub in front of Barboza-Pearson?

There had better be riot police on hand tonight if they booed that much after that fight.

Every time the UFC goes to other countries, the USA crowd gets put to shame.

I do not like the song change Nog.

Well, it's ok, I guess. Just not as good as "Gimme Shelter"

World Cup atmosphere for the PPV tonight. Really does add to the fun of watching.

[TheShizNo1]

I just realized Most of the guys I'm rooting for, aren't American.

Come on Big Nog, play it safe, take it to the ground and submit him. Please don't stand and bang with a younger person. You been out for 18 months.....play it safe.
