I'm looking forward to the woman's fight the most. Tate-Rousey would be really fun to watch, so hopefully Tate can win. They got a heated rivalry and could create even more for the woman's division. Hopefully, Hall can keep his momentum as well. Man Gonzaga has fell off, but I'll always take him as a threat ever since that roundhouse kick on Cro Cop. I know it was about six years ago, but he's always been exciting to me. Faber should probably win, but as usual I hope he loses because I'm sick of him getting title shots.

Actually don't mind the look of this card. Not a Faber fan but I see him winning here and getting another title shot (and then losing that fight). Browne vs Gonzaga is a decent filler heavyweight fight, someone is going to be finished so that is always good with heavyweights. Haven't seen a women's MMA fight before so that will be different. Really looking forward to the TUF final fight as well, both guys have looked the goods in their prelim fights throughout the season

Looking forward to Tate-Zingano the most and Brown-Gonzaga should be a good HW fight. Doubt I'll watch the Faber fight, so bored of his career and the countless title shots he gets for winning one or two fights max.

Ok lineup, if it clashes with Donaire vs Rigondeaux then it loses though.

Haven't watched any of TUF so don't care about those fights, hope Miesha and Faber win though.

Easy win for Travis Browne against Gonzaga, KO by elbows in the first.

Watching Tate vs. Zingano now. Good pace for the first round, Cat had a guillotine locked in but couldn't finish her with it, Tate a bit off the pace to start with. In control in the second now.

Awesome spot in the second with Tate trying for a leg lock, can't get anywhere near the torque required and Cat looks at her wrist pretending to check the time on an imaginary watch. Was never in an danger of having to tap out and Cat was easily able to get out of it. Another good round.

Man I really wanted to see Tate-Rousey II, but Zignano really impressed me. That ground and pound was pretty vicious, then those knees really impressed me. What a great fight.

Brutal knees from Cat Zingano to end the fight, Tate's face covered in blood. Impressive from Zingano and if she knows how to defend against an armbar she might have a chance against Rousey

Despite her loss, Tate has one hell of a chin. It reminded me of Nelson-Werdum with the way she took those knees.

No doubt, she took a fair bit of punishment before finally going down.

So TUF is moving to Fox Sports 1 in the US rather than FX, is that a positive move for UFC or a backwards step?
