Yeah; Cory is good but Merab is just physically more impressive. I can't see that fight going much different than how O'Malley did, except with a bit more defense/scramble during the inevitable takedowns.

I can feel the UFC brass blood pressure rising with O'Malley being outclassed so badly. They were really trying to push him in the division.

Prior to seeing his name in the list I honestly thought McGee had retired like... years ago. Have no idea how I had missed several fights of his (losing most) over the last 3 years.

Good on Usman; I don't see him retaking the belt or anything but it's good to see him back in the win column.

enjoyed the early fights, decided to checkout during the main card seems like made good decision ;)
upkicks should be legal

Malcolm Wellmaker vs. Kris Moutinho
source 1 doesn't work for me, but 2 does
upkicks are legal, you just have to not be a grounded opponent, what is a grounded opponent? it's bullshit like anything OTHER THAN your feet on the mat and youre grounded.

in this case he had 1 knee barely touch the mat as he was getting up so he's counted as a grounded opponent.
