Anyone who keeps Cody McKenzie in the UFC is good in my book.

How do you know? No one has ever consistently tried to take Jones down. Chael will try.

I missed the fight, but from what I'm seeing on my timeline it sounds like he looked like ****. I actually picked Garcia because I figured if he could beat somebody it would be a guy like Cody who has really only showed one trick in the times I've seen him. I should've known that washed up Garcia wouldn't come through.

The last fight that Leonard Garcia won straight up that wasn't by split decision was in 2008 vs. Jens Pulver. If the judges would've correctly swung the other way on some of those close fights he could've easily been on a losing streak a lot longer than 5 in a row right now.

Are the prelims televised on Direct TV?

Once McMann had that crucifix it was game over.
Also Caraway continues to be underrated, looked good on 6 days notice.

They are on FX, I don't know what that is on Direct TV. There will be 2 more fights until the main card.

He couldn't take Bisping down - Jones is harder to take down than Bisping. With Jones' great wrestling and long legs it seems next to impossible to land a double especially with Jones' wide stance. I honestly think he won't be able to even once unless it's timed with a kick or something awkward happens where Jones' legs are together.

Don't forget Rashad couldn't do anything either.
