They would never do it but I would love if they still did weigh-ins later in the day, except Rogan gets to read off how much weight their body has already put back on since the morning.

That'd be super interesting

Super bummed that we won't get to see guys awkwardly undressing while trying to maintain balance because they haven't eaten or had much to drink in days.

This, but I'd be worried it might lead to more excuses like:
I ate 3 breakfasts
I didn't manage my energy well

Everybody is weighed in now except for Clay Guida because he was busy at hot yoga all morning.

I am split because on the one had its dumb and facile to say "that guy should have been a computer programmer" and its good to laugh at people who say that, but on the other hand: being a computer programmer is the best

eh it was just a little indirect ribbing - didn't mean to provoke the alpha jock - no need to call someone names like that

inri seems to have a good sense of humor though so I actually question his athleticism

Bisping is already a world-class cheater but I think his best path to victory is to pull out something we've never seen before and really take it to the next level: bringing a gun into the octagon

In i think the 4th round of Bisping/anderson bisping is covered in blood (after getting kod!) with anderson silva dancing around thinking of the most creative ways to hit him in the face, and he just keeps pressing forward. In that moment you have to respect the man. You could tell he knew this was the defining moment of his career. You can see the determination on his face.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

That's gotta be because Reebok wants more advertising time. Or rather doesn't want less than before.

That fight was awful because it felt like it should have been stopped earlier but there was no real moment I could pinpoint and say this is where it should be stopped.

Joanna is a lot like Nick Diaz in that regard and I think both of them have ruined some fighters because of it.

Also, gently caress Hector Lombard, and the funniest thing about the Cruz/Faber interactions is "You had four years where I was out of action, why were you never champion" has absolutely no answer and Faber is visibly, uncomfortably aware of the fact every time Cruz brings it up
