UFC and state licensing boards, take note, stop with the women refs unless 2 women are fighting

More or less I guess.

I think the UFC needs an "0" fighter bad and if Weidman wins, I think he has more marketing appeal than Silva who just has never broken through like the UFC brass expected.

But if Silva dominates him, then the Weidman was overrated and it was just another easy defense for Silva chorus sings loudly.

However, at some point father time will catch up to Silva. It may happen tonight, it may not.

But I think the UFC knows they need a superfight worse and it will be massively gutshotted if Silva loses. GSP is already running from it and Silva was the meat in the superfight sandwich that could go up or down (GSP or JBJ). If he loses, obviously any superfight is in trouble or lost a lot of its luster.

So many factors and consequences of this fight...I can't wait to see what happens. Arguments can be made either way which is the better outcome for the health of the UFC.

It is going to be fascinating entertainment tonight.

I dont know if "0" fighters even matter in MMA. The biggest draws in MMA history (Chuck, Tito, Brock, GSP) werent "0" fighters at their height. Evans was a "0" fighter when The "0" matters in boxing though.

That was quick. Goodbye from the UFC Dave Herman.

Just doesn't have the chin at this level.

Zag will be a great division gatekeeper.

I can't stand Gonzaga pre fight teeth showing. But damn that was a nice counter.

I think the "0" would matter if they can get it going. Not fixing the Hamill mistake (fixing as in an easy avenge rematch) was an error on the UFC's part as that is what JBJ needed as he has proven to be in dead man's land from a marketability standpoint. He isn't thug/cartoon character (ie Ortiz, Tito, Brock) but he isn't good guy likeable either (ie GSP, Griffin).

If Weidman can win tonight, then that "0" can go a long way as the division is pretty terrible.

Regardless, it will be interesting to see how it plays out tonight. A ton of little side stories in play.

In combat sports (where physicality is needed from the refs), it is hilariously stupid and dangerous to use a woman.
