Nate and Nick have the most awkward limp-wristed slap-boxing style of striking.

I see it that same way. I'm kind of glad they are letting the gatekeepers go though. There are some that they are going to keep around, but you can almost see who they are going to let go and who they aren't at this point. The heavyweights are the ones they will hold onto the most because the division is so shallow.

Nelson is 8-9 in the UFC, and has lost 6 of his last 8 fights hahah. Rory was nowhere near that bad, there's just -nobody- in the HW division.

Anyone else excited that Carwin might return? I loved watching that dude fight.

Also, is the Michael Venom Page fight booked for November his last fight under Bellator? I'd love to see him and Wonderboy fight in the UFC.

Man I remember when he only had a loss or 2 in Strikeforce.

Wow, Paige with that crazy karate execution.

PVZ with one of the best kick knockouts ever. Well, followed up with g&p but it was a beauty.

Glad to hear my waifu is back in top form.

Stuck at work, would greatly appreciate highlights

Beautiful kick but you can really tell how much less relative power women have. She knocked her down and rocked her, but when Machida hit Couture with the same kick, Couture dropped like a sack of potatoes.

Good for Pettis, but that was not an easy fight for him.

I dunno, he (probably) broke Olivera's ribs in the first found and definitely knocked him out for at least a second on the ground. Round two he struggled a bit cause of gas, but he got out of everything Olivera had to offer. Then he sinks the choke super fast in rd 3. I am impressed by Showtime today after his last few performances.

He still does not do well against pressure fighters and that is what Oliveira took advantage of in the second. Push him up against the cage and he is susceptible to takedowns. However, Oliveira is super aggressive on the ground and Pettis was able to capitalize on that. Whereas Alvarez just sat in top control to ride out the rounds, which is the easy/smart way to beat Pettis. He doesn't look like he closed up any holes in his game (his TDD in the 1st 4 mins looked good, but then it fell apart), he was just the better fighter here.


Edit: I fucking love Condit, but he has some of the absolute worst TDD in the world cause he is so willing to fight off his back and I think Maia may just smother him here. Maia doesn't have a great gas tank, but its just so easy to get Condit to the ground I am not sure it will matter.
