Hmmmm part of this card has me intrigued while many others of it has me like... ehhhh.

The main event... while the flyweight has some exciting fights I just can't get into their fights. Just can't.

Rory stepping back in... be nice to see how he is gonna be after coming back from injury and continue his push forward.

the women's fight... we'll see.

 

[The Cork]

Stacked prelim show....hope my boy Guillard can avoid getting choked out again.

Rory - Burger should be good, two prospects deciding which one moves up the ladder. Looking forward to Tate - Carmouche as well, the women always bring it, no wrestle humping or jab trading.

Hopefully Danzig - Guillard is exciting to wake everyone up from the snoozefest that will be Mitrione - Schaub. Terrible booking with that fight.

Bit of a nothing card for me, I am another that just does not like these jockey divisions that UFC have. Their fights aren't that entertaining and there is no depth in the divisions either.

Rory vs. Ellenberger is the main fight for me. Hope that Rory can keep the form that he had before the injury and get one step closer to a title shot.

 

[Slim]

I have to say that if I didn't check the app on my phone today... I would have completely forgotten that this was even coming on today.

Hopefully this show will be pretty good.

After all Burgers shit talk he couldn't do a thing to Rory...was a good sight to see.

 

[Slim]

That Burger/McDonald's fight was a snore fest. Nothing happened in that cept for some jabs. Like come onnnnn... almost as bad as the Mir/Cro Cop fight.

But Mighty Mouse... I don't think anybody gonna be able to beat him in his division.

I didn't hate it but Im over the bar room brawls that pass for "ZOMG this is awesome" in MMA.

Yeah they didn't have to throw haymakers every five seconds... but they just seemed so hesitant to do anything it was like... really... come on. It was borderline a Machida fight. Just barely throw enough jabs to win.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

I still found joy in after all Burgers trash talk he just stood there like an idiot getting jabbed repeatedly and throwing punches that people who weren't even the fight could see coming. Seriously one dimensional WW version of Hendo all power no skill, when he cant land a big punch he's clueless and like Hendo he ignores his wrestling.

And the only time Lyoto fights are boring is when he fights people too timid/short/talentless to bring the fight to him and get counter punch KO'd by Lyoto.

 

[Slim]

I.E. his next fight against Phil Davis

Didn't watch this jobber card, but read my boy YOUNG ASSASIN won, so good shit I guess.
