And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Countercounterpoint: Sean Sherk was so spundly beaten at range kickboxing by the smallest lightweight of all time Frankie Edgar he ran from a piss test while screaming and shirtless.

Ian Entwistle was pulled, probably because his weight cut was awful

It's the most interesting one. I want Alan to win but I don't think he will. Terrible matchup for him but hopefully he can hurt Nelson early. Fast TKO or else he's going to get subbed

didn't you start watching MMA because of Conor?


Don't think so, I'm by no means a conor obsessive. I started watching mid way through pride and slipped in and back out over the years. Though Lawler - MacDonald 2 was when I really got back into things and yes, that was on a Conor card.


Lots of lovely twitter level takes about reach in the thread, yes obviously its important but its not the only factor in a fight. Will a better fighter with a reach advantage use a reach advantage effectively? Yes. Will a better fighter without a reach advantage find ways to overcome another fighters reach advantage? Yes. Duh, no poo poo.

When Corey went down I was surprised Manuwa didn't follow him to the ground because it didn't look that hard at first. Great call though, dude was brain dead.
