Yep, glad I stayed home for this one.

Reading they had to give Dada oxygen and took him out on a stretcher because he couldn't even hold his hands up.

Edit
Royce kneed Ken in the nuts, ref didn't see and stopped the fight to GNP. What a shit show.

Jim Rodriguez on Twitter:"Word is Dada 5000 had a heart attack in the cage vs Kimbo Folks this isn't a backyard. Gotta come prepared and in shape. Hope he's ok"

Seems reputable....

His family released a statement that he was having kidney problems from the weight cut.

Whatever, he's a woefully out of shape 39 year old who came in expecting to fight for 45 seconds and got forced to do the most intense cardio there is for 10+ minutes.

I wonder if this brings more reform in stopping fighters from doing ridiculous weight cuts.

Hopefully Cowboy looks good tonight. Also looking forward to see Brunson fight. He did really well against Romero and almost had him beat a couple of times. The rest of the card is meh, but still looking forward to it on an off night.

Maybe this is hard for me to appreciate because I don't do BJJ, but I had to watch this multiple times to even see what he did here.

The best part of that by far is how calm the announcer is, compared to Joe Rogan screaming about how that's the best BJJ move in the world and he set it up with oblique kicks.

Vicious triangle. Cerrone continues to be one of my favorite fighters, even though I do believe he's destined for gatekeeper status and not a champion.

I was torn in this fight as I like both fighters. I have to say though that I like the anti-wwe aspect of the lead up. Both Cerrone and Olivera were both avoiding the bombasity (is that even a word) that the UFC and Bellator has been heading towards recently. I fully enjoyed that fight as watching two guys go at it till one won without all the added bullshit drama. Bonus points went to Cerrone having to point out the fucking taps to the ref.

People hurting themselves intentionally to duck McGregor? It's more likely than you might think!
