    This is how you prop up a mediocre main event.

    This card is putting me to sleep. No wonder I stopped watching early prelims.

    That was Cruz's most exciting fight in ages.

    Holy shit!

    Zingano/Nunes was about as good as WMMA gets. Hard to differentiate between that fight and a men's fight. Preview of what the divisions will look like in three-five years when more fighters catch up.

    Romero/Kennedy was another great fight!

    Romero got a lot of time between the third and fourth round to recover. Kudos to his corner.

    LOL Romero hates being booed and resorts to some Mick Foley style cheap pops. I think he's going to talk about the local team next!

    Ricardo Liborio is a veteran trainer looking out for his fighter. Wonder if the commission will have something to say about it?

    The crowd is about to lose its collective shit for McGregor.

    Quick stoppage?

    Poirier unhappy with it.

    McGregor didn't look troubled in the fight.

    Poirier upset that he was hit in the back of the head two or three times during the finish.

    Alvarez is a lot smaller than Cerrone.

    Second fight in which McCarthy has announced "cut due to a punch!"

    New NSAC instruction?

    Can Alvarez fight like that for three rounds?

    Round one goes to the newcomer due to punches in the clinch and overall activity.

    Cerrone is a slow starter...
