Yeah, but it would make him less lovable. The highs of being a Hunt fan wouldn't be as good without the wheezing, gasping lows.

otoh he'd have to hike his shorts up even more often if he lost weight which is like 30% of the reason to like hunt

The Dublin card that they put on fight pass was the best card I've watched since Anderson shattered his leg

It has old fights, the occasional fight pass card, and Invicta. Is that worth it to you?

There's also rumors/indications they may start adding other B-league shows like Ring of Combat, which would be pretty great.

I don't know, do you like rewatching fights or having access to regional cards with a couple named fighters at the top?

There will be Invicta on Fight Pass this Saturday so there's that, too.

Fight pass is also handy for when a fighter like TJ dillashaw breaks out, and then you can review his old fights to see his development. I also miss tons of fights live, and it's nice/easy to catch them after the fact now.

Great, then they can have a playlist of every Weidman fight ever, including Weidman vs. Uriah Hall. In all seriousness I think I will go for it, if for no other reason than to watch Nick Diaz's original UFC run. If you are a person reading this and you haven't seen Diaz/Lawler or Diaz/Parisyan, go do that immediately.

Back when Karo was good/other fighters were bad, he had some really fun fights.

Truth, as is the Jeremy Jackson fight, and the Oishi and Fickett fights are incredibly entertaining while they last (the Oishi is downright hilarious). He's just a fun dude to watch.

You can make a nice little series of Karo/Nick, Nick/Diego, Diego/Karo which functions as a primer for a new fan on how grappling in MMA can be exciting.

If you were to ever get Fight Pass, this would be the month to do it, seeing as how they've got TWO Fight Pass events. Hell, I'd pay the full $60 for the Hunt/Nelson card.

I have been putting off getting fight pass but I am going to get it for hunt v nelson, and I'm sure I'll get hooked on it shortly after that and pay the UFC 10 bucks a month until I die.

I'm gonna get it for that card as well. They have a good chance on hooking me especially since my WWE Network sub expires a month later and I really haven't been happy with their product lately. Of course, UFC's had their own issues (albeit less self inflicted) on putting on compelling cards lately, but I want to check out some PRIDE as well.

Because no actual news broke about Cung Le, although Rich Franklin confirmed his retirement so maybe that's what he meant.

Did he? That would have made more news I think. He just posted this on his twitter, dated today, and he's giving the same answer he always gives:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pauhGTQbkag

That is he isn't sure if he's going to fight again but he hasn't ruled it out yet entirely.

Sorry you're right, I misread it. It says he WILL be retiring after his last contracted fight.

http://www.chinatopix.com/articles/8729/20140903/rich-franklin-confirms-retirement-competitive-mma.htm

That's what I get for paying attention to misleading clickbait headlines or even receiving MMA news at a website called chinatopix.com

In Japan, I helped [Mousasi] to cut weight and after that I fought Mousasi on the same day. That's part of the sport. If he needs help this fight cutting weight, I will help him again no problem. We are friends out of the Octagon and we fight inside the Octagon. That's part of the sport. A few months ago, Mousasi was here in Brazil and we had lunch together.

If you watch the whole event (and skip to the fight) it has the proper music.

What was the deal with the octagon size at the Bendo vs Dos Anjos event? I remember WEC used a smaller cage but the Bendo/DA cage looked even smaller than that was.
