Not sure if the Esparza photo is trying to say Rose is the true champ or if there just aren't any good photos of Esparza kicking someone in the face.

Anyways, this is going to come back to bite me in the rear end but UFC 185 won't suck because it can't. there are too many entertaining fighters on the card and good matchups. So while it does suck that there are only 2 events this month 185 being in the middle should hold everybody over until things start rolling in

Going on the record that I hate Carla Esparza more than reigning champion. Not only is she an unlikable turd outside the cage she is unwatchable turd in the cage. gently caress her.

I think it is very humble of Pettis to have offset how cool he is to watch fight with how awful those tattoos are. He is dedicated to the hermetic life of a true warrior.

And her time on TUF was basically her being a dumb catty bitch for 6 weeks while also associating with all the other dumbest, cattiest bitches. She was a major part of the drama about training times and everything else. She isnt as bad as Magana or whatever her name was, but pretty much her only redeeming quality is the cool nickname.

She just can spam takedowns that the other girls haven't been able to stop because the girls seem to universally suck at wrestling, and her cardio seems passable, sometimes.

Apparently "Babysitter To The Stars" Burt Watson is no longer with the UFC. First "reported" by Front Row Brian, but now confirmed by an actual journalist here: https://twitter.com/tedgruber/status/572264124991848448

I gotta imagine that was an amicable split because I remember a video where somebody asked Dana White for Burt Watson's job and he laughed and said nobody could ever take Burt's job. I mean, he's been around since Zuffa purchased the company. Either way it's sad to see him go. Like Dana said, you can't replace him.

Burt last tweeted on the 27th and was still working for the UFC, if it was mutual I bet the UFC would have had some official retirement statement.

Burt is really old, I could see it just being time for him to retire. That's a bummer though, Burt is one of my favorite things about UFC.

It's been Monday morning for all of 10 minutes. Since UFC was busy doing that big "Welcome to the Show" press conference and putting on UFC 184 this weekend both Burt and the company may have decided to wait. Like I said he's been with the company since 2001. They wouldn't abruptly fire him unless he tried to blackmail Lorenzo over more late night text messages.
