When Bisping decides to hang it up they better throw money at him to call fights

The main event (McDonald/Lineker) should be incredibly exciting. There's two heavyweights I don't recognize fighting, not sure if either/both are fat

The main card is pretty good from what I'm seeing.

There's also a lot of up and coming talent you can watch and then look back fondly when they win the belt after 10 years like I did with Bisping and TUF 3 :unsmith:

He went on a sort of longwinded call out of sorts.

He said Bisping would lose to Hendo, who he'd then face and probably lose to but wanted to fight another guy first as well as calling out all European fighters to challenge him so he can fight in Europe.

He also said his next kid is due in 10 days and wanted to get a bonus from Dana. Imagine all of this being sort of funny in Alvey's normal style.

The Bisping/Hendo thing also carried past the commercial break where Bisping was calling Alvey crazy and insane etc.

Basically, just go look for it when the video/replay is available. It's odd but funny.

Standing guillotined his opponent, then proclaimed his love for the state of South Dakota and his imminent child, called out the entirety of Europe, and then predicted that Dan Henderson is going to beat Bisping for the title and hold it till he's 60, whereupon he will lose it to Sam Alvey.

The latter caused Bisping to go in a minute-long tirade on the air afterwards, as a bonus.

Its a thing that is used in a lot of karate, tae kwon do, etc. that people do. It, apparently, helps you deal a little more power than not doing it but it also sounds really dumb and annoying.

exhalations while punching tighten your core which is necessary for good punching and also leaves your body in a strong position if you're hit on the counter. vocalisation is reasonably common.

He won a couple heavy trades, fought off some grappling and then front guillotined the dude. Did insane promo afterwards.

Forces you to sync up breath movement and focus. Plus can kind of throw your opponent off it you have a loud good one

Yeah but most places I have taken kickboxing/boxing also doesn't make me shout out "hut", but more of a "hss" that's quieter and does the same thing.

It's pretty uncommon you hear someone in the UFC say "hut" as much as this chick was.
