Okay. You know what I'm saying.

Obviously there's no 145 in the UFC. But Invicta has one, and outside of Cyborg there's not a ton there. She would wreck that division too.

I'm not knocking Rousey. I'm saying that there's only one person that will give her struggles. Everyone else in that division is too small. It's not a knock. It's an observation.

Also, not that it matters what I think/want, but in my dream world I'd have same-day weigh-ins for combat sports. At least it would get over this whole weight cut game that goes on.

This is why I hate Machida. When he is aggressive, he is fun to watch. He just rarely is.

Yeah, round 4 is just too late. He looks like the better fighter. Just not enough.

Chris showed alot in that 5th round. He adjusted and started to use the clinch to land strikes. Good fight and Machida did enough to remain a MW contender.

Great takedown toward the end. Smart. That elbow jolted Machida and there was no way he could stuff the takedown after that.

yep the 135s probably would move down to 125 if the UFC had it, its like 145&155 before they added the lower weight classes

I would love weigh-ins 1 hour before the fight or start of the card

Two of the scores were what I expected, but I don't know how someone scored that 49-45. Crazy.
