Finally catching up on the first week of fights and am enjoying them so far.

Edit - Bisping isn't half bad as a commentator and it'd be cool to see him on more stuff.

Te Edwards and Antonina Shevchenko signed.

Josh Parisian is being put on TUF.

Julian Erosa didn’t get signed but was basically told to stay ready because he’ll be a replacement fighter if anyone at his weight on a UFC card gets hurt soon.

I know he was signed but Dana made it sound like they wanted to help him keep training for a while before he fights officially in the UFC.

Plus this just happened

Not that I'm calling for blood for the blood god, but that stoppage seemed pretty early and that cut didn't seem so bad. Chicky was still defending herself.

The UFC really kinda needs strawweights who actually bring it, so she'll probably get at least a development deal.

She's in. I hope that they keep her active.

What would be really cool is if these DWTNCS cards had a UFC fight as the headline on top of the development fights just to help keep divisions moving. I could stand to watch Jojo Calderwood fight someone right now.

Edmond Tarverdyan is a UFC coach again.

Wait, when did Ronda start managing fighters or is this some "Edmund does everything but uses Ronda's name for business pull and throws her a few bucks" deal?

Karate Combat is now a thing on Fight Pass which is something I apparently missed. It's kind of silly but also in a good way.

If he jams his nub into your eye socket is that a punch or a poke?

He should’ve called it but that was a weird fight. Hooper clearly doesn’t have enough strength to keep anyone on their back so every time he’d start hitting the guy with good ground shots, the Hawaiian would roll over and Hooper was being extra careful not to throw shots to the back of the head.

Also, I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a 28-26 score.

Just rolling over to take more shots isn't intelligently defending yourself. It's the referee's job to save a fighter from unnecessary damage...
